Wonderful stay at Carson Hill with everything we needed!
We had 3 families of 4 with kids ranging from 3 to 12. We had a wonderful stay at Carson Hill. The house had more than we needed and was really well stocked. There were a lot of amenities for the kids to stay entertained all day. Location was perfect. The main grocery store was a couple of minutes away. We were close to Big Trees State Park which was gorgeous during the fall. It was also close to a nearby lake and logging museum. We had a wonderful and comfortable stay. We look forward to coming back.

Very nice house with plenty of entertainment options.
Nice clean house, well appointed kitchen, and sooo many games and options to keep the four kids in our group occupied while the adults enjoyed the large living room and nice deck upstairs. Host was very responsive with one small issue we had on the first night with the video game console.

Lovely house!
House was exactly as advertised. 13 people stayed (6 adults and 7 kids) and there was plenty of room to spread out. The downstairs game area was a great spot for the kids to hang out (and sleep) and the adults were able to relax comfortably on the primary floor. Kitchen was beautiful and the proximity to Bear Valley was top notch. Definitely would recommend to friends and family.

Thanksgiving Family Trip
Our family is in both Central and Northern California. It was our baby’s first Thanksgiving and didn’t want to miss the opportunity to get everyone together while not having to travel hours with a 5 month old. This was the perfect location. Beautiful & big enough to accommodate our growing family. Everything we needed was provided! (Even baby spoons!) for his first real food try! We highly recommend this vacation home! The stairs were a little challenging to manage little ones — especially in the game room as there was only a gate at the top, but overall awesome experience.

Arnold 2023 Family Vacation
Absolutely Beautiful house. We had 10 of us and so much room. Play area, pool table, air hockey and so much more the grandkids played with. Basketball hoop kept them entertained. They have everything in the house you will need for cooking. Wish we could have found all the horseshoes as that was in the spacious yard for them to play too. Us adults we having a blast at the bar and playing poker at their poker table. So many laughs and good times. We had to go to the community lake, White Pines Lake which is not far at all. Paddle boarding is what they do a lot and a little fishing there. Truly amazing time we all had. Family memories for all of us. Great response from the managers/owners not sure. Had a couple questions and we got fast response. We really didn’t need anything because they thought of everything for their renters. Highly recommend making your family memories at this place. BEAUTIFUL

Ideal Accommodations for our Fun-Loving Family
This home was clean, comfortable and provided a lot of fun activities for the entire family, ages 5 months to 59 years. They even provided cribs, a high chair, dishes/utensils and toys for the littles. The owners were easy to communicate with, left thorough instructions, easy entry and great local recommendations. We’d definitely make a return visit.

Amazing host!
There were 3 families of 4 on this trip. We were supposed to arrive on the same day as a huge storm, so I asked the host if we could check in at noon to beat it. The cleaning crew couldn't get there until the morning that we were scheduled to arrive. I was really stressed out about the whole situation because of the expected storm. I received a message Sunday morning at 6am letting me know that the cleaning crew had arrived and are expected to take about 5 hours to clean. Yay! That meant that we could hit the road in the morning and arrive by noon! It was such a relief! All 3 families arrived right before the storm! During our stay, the only thing that we needed was more sheets. He responded really quickly and let me know where to find them. We were snowed in for 3 days, so we couldn't go anywhere, and no one could get to us. Thankfully, we packed a lot of food and beverages! The game room kept all 6 children between 3yo and 6yo very happy! The bunk bed room was awesome too! Fast forward to check out day on Wednesday. We cleaned up the house, threw towels in the washer as instructed, packed up the cars, and were ready to leave by 10am! There were no snowplows in site and about 3 feet of snow on the driveway and street. The host was very responsive the entire time, contacting the county and the private plow company about the roads. Help arrived by 4pm! Overall, we loved the home! We will definitely be back!!

Awesome house
We truly enjoyed our stay at Carson Hill Manor! The check in process was super easy and the communication with the property owners was always spot on. Our family spent most of the time in the game room area. The pool and card table were our favorite places. The house is close to many attractions and the house had a book with details about attractions that were close by. One of the best parts we enjoyed was having control of the temperature in each room. We had stayed at other properties where one space may be warm and another freezing. One item we would add is some directions on the back of the HVAC remotes to have the system run either heating or cooling. We hope to stay at this residence again in the future!

We enjoyed our stay. Only issue was the game room. Air hockey leg was broken and fell on my friends toe. She will lose her toenail. Hurt her bad. The arcade game doesn’t work properly. The bottom stairs bathroom hand towel rack fell off and the bottom stairs bathroom shower handle was loose. All this was told to the owner. Apparently last people who rented didn’t disclose this to owner. They said they will fix these issues right away. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay in the home. It had everything we needed. We will rent again in future.

Hike or stay at home... sometimes it was hard to decide!
We went with kids (7-18) and bigger kids (47-52) and had a blast. The downstairs game room is fun for the whole family. We had a mini Olympics one evening and it was a blast. Most of the kids stayed up late playing pool and you can't hear ANYTHING upstairs. I do wish they moved the other King bed upstairs (we had two couples and one had to sleep in separate beds). The kitchen is very well stocked with everything plus appliances galore. SHARP KNIVES!! That usually never happens. Also plenty of room to sit around and eat at the large table or watch a show around the large couch. Close to town, good hikes and the little lake was wonderful after a long, hot hike. Have to do the rope swing... all the kids (little and big) did it.
