This charming mountain cabin is 2nd row, offering your group High up views with no traffic noise, and privacy because it is in a cul- de- sac and set back from the street nestled amongst the forest. You will enjoy the reason why you came to the mountains, for views, nature and privacy! If you are looking for a place to disconnect, you'll enjoy the serenity and beauty of nature in this cabin. Sugar Bear sits at mid tree level where you will be surrounded by the majestic Sierra Pines and Nature! There is a view from every room!
Sugar Bear Cabin has a very spacious deck that turns into snowman play for the kiddos. building snowmen for hours! Passing through the cabin forest, you might see deer, flocks of turkeys, owls hooting, large ravens rustling in the trees, coyotes howling, foxes prowling, or an occasional Sugar BEAR or two!!
Our amenities include a very spacious game-room where kiddos and adults alike can enjoy the many board, and card games, or interesting hand-picked books. You can sit near the window for a magical view of the mountains! We have DVD movies and two TVs.

There's internet to stream your favorite movies!
For every stay, we provide complimentary coffee, cocoa! Please enjoy the complimentary offerings set up fresh for each guest stay! We try to stock the white cabinet with oil, pasta, chili beans, rice, pancake
mix, syrup, etc. feel free to use whatever is inside. I keep it fresh, and add to it so if you're in a pinch, you can rustle something up to eat! Our goal is that you feel like this is your home, but in the woods!
Other cabin amenities include a wood burning stove to curl up next to a soothing fire, and relax! For the cooks and bakers, we offer a fully loaded kitchen with stainless steel appliances and newer cooking supplies to whip up your favorite dishes or desserts. There's even cookie cutters if you want to get creative! There's spices in the cupboard door nearest the oven and the white cabinet has cooking oil, and various food items I stock up on like cake mix, pan cake mix, and gravy mixes and more!

Items you may want to bring:
Olive Oil
Note: We do provide matches, a copper wood tub holder, and heat-resistant gloves for the wood burning stove. We stack wood on the deck, but it may run out. The sticks and pine needles on the ground make a very good starter. becareful to back up when using pine needles, it flares up! There's a canvas bag to gather it up! Wood may not last. Make sure you bring it up prior because sometimes it sells out fast in town.
Pets are allowed, but they MUST be listed when booking. Pets can never be left alone in the cabin unless they are securely crated. Pets love laying on the deck or playing in the snow!

THINGS TO NOTE:
■ Please do NOT throw away my coffee filter in the gray basket it sits in. It is expensive to replace.
■ The Bathroom Heaters works but please do not be use them. It's old school, gets very hot to touch, and a Fire Hazard because the towel bar is located above it. The knob is taped in the upstairs bathroom. The towel bar is above the heater, and guests have left it on and scorched many towels. Please be aware of this and talk to children and guests to inform them not to turn on or touch the heater as it is very hot to touch. They would be burned if touched.
■ All dishes need to be washed and put back in their correct cabinet. Please make sure butcher block knives are put back as it is a child friendly cabin.
■ Please do not leave any items in the refrigerator. It must be left empty except for the condiments on the side shelf. Please be courteous for the next guest. You arrived with a cleared out refrigerator. Please leave with a cleared out refrigerator.
■ Guests need to take their garbage back home with them to dispose of. That includes wastebasket garbage and any garbage stored outside in the overflow can. Due to bears and other wildlife who are attracted to the smell of garbage, I elected not to sign up for local garbage services as it has become a neighborhood issue of cans full of trash scattered by bears in-between garbage pickups. You can opt out for an extra small fee that a local hauler charges. I will need advance notice at booking for this option. It's not cheap either! Another option is to dispose of your garbage at Pinecrest Transfer Station. It is located a few minutes from the cabin. Please check for days and times the transfer station is open.
■ Please don't move the furniture or appliances inside of the cabin or outside of the cabin.
■ In the event of a power outage, we have added battery-operated lights scattered throughout the cabin. They will work just like a regular light when you flip the switch on. I recommend you put your refrigerated item in the freezer.
■ We have CDC-guided cleaning processes that help ensure a safer stay. Items that can not be washed (sponges) are new for every visitor. Duvet covers, blankets, towels, sheets, rugs, and pillowcases are washed after each visit, and all items are wiped down. Bathrooms are thoroughly cleaned, and the whole cabin is mopped and vacuumed after each visit. I work with two local professional cleaners to assure high cleaning standards.
■ There's a portable crib for infants upstairs. Please bring your own blankets for the crib. I provide a sheet.
■ Please feel free to discuss any concerns you may have regarding "My Things to Note" prior to your visit. We're always willing to work with our guests.
Our family truly appreciates each guest, and we truly hope you enjoy your stay at Sugar Bear Cabin!
