Perfect for after a long day at the lake or on the trails. If you feel like grilling, we've got you covered with a Webber charcoal grill for a nice steak, burger or even a S'more. Relax on the wraparound deck and just enjoy the tranquility this area has to offer. This cottage is perfect for 2 but can accommodate 4. Did I mention we are pet friendly? So, feel free to bring your furry, 4-legged child.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. There were a couple of hiccups, no Internet the first night and the kitchen faucet didn't work. But other than that, the place was cute and clean.
We enjoyed our stay here in La Porte. This was a cabin we used as part of a larger stay with extended family. It had everything we needed for our weekend wedding stay.
A great spot to get away. Close to lots of little lakes and trails but tucked away so you don’t have to be around crowds. The bar/cafe is a great place to eat and meet the friendly town residents!
We were visiting a town where my husband and his brother would go often as kids because his family had cabins there, and still does! Our rental cabin was great—nice, clean space, lovely remodeled little kitchen and bathroom, very comfy bed, porch was great for drinking our morning coffee. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. We had a great time in LaPorte!
My husband and our dog came up for a quick weekend away from the valley to do some hiking and relax. If you are looking for a nightlife or dining choice, this town is not for you. If you are looking for a fun outdoor rec area with a single place for burgers and beers at the end of the day this town is for you. The cabin was small but fully furnished with updated kitchen and bath. Very clean and management on site to help with any issues. Even though the place could easily sleep 4 I would say it’s crowded for any more than a single couple.
Sweet small cabin with everything you'd need AND pet friendly! Loved sitting on the wrap-around deck! Lots of nice windows and ceiling fan, perfect for warmer days and nights. Only change we'd make is change out the Kerig for a regular coffee maker. Kerig's produce too much waste! Although we own property in LaPorte, we decided to check out an "in-town" cabin. It was a great experience. Thanks so much! Lanette, Julee, Rusty, Dag and Penny

Not very clean or comfortable
Walls were dirty. Didn’t seem like anyone cleaned the shower doors. Bed was hard and lumpy and uncomfortable. No AC so hot. I only stayed one night out of my 2 nights there. But there were not a lot of options.
We stayed for a couple of nights in our old stomping grounds of La Porte. As always, the location is beautiful and incredibly peaceful. The cabin was great, very nicely redone, and very comfortable. Angela and Steve were extremely helpful and kind hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a hideaway in gold country.
We loved this cabin. It’s very rustic, no frills, but perfect for us. We were not looking to spend much time inside. It was a good base camp for exploring the gold rush history, cute town, and the lake.
Great high Sierra mountin cabin! Remodeled but still retains old-time feel. Great setting, easy access, quaint forest town location. Access to PCT! Recommend.
We had a great trip! The cabin was as expected. I think the main issue I had was lack of info about check in and check out... I figured it out with no issues... but wish it had all been laid out somewhere without me having to ask or figure it out. Other than that, it was awesome!
We got out of town for the weekend to this house in McCloud. A great property with plenty of room for our family of 4 plus our dog. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beds are great. Thanks for everything!
