Hat Creek Retreat

This cabin/house was one of the cleanest I have stayed at. The owner was super responsive with any questions. This are is very remote which we wanted but due to snowfall we weren’t able to do all hiking we wanted, so we did have to drive a bit to find things to do. Overall we really enjoyed the stay.

A memorable stay for our family!

Came up for some family time away from the city bustle, and this place was great ❤️ beautiful views, well stocked, so much outdoor space for the kids to run and play with their little gifts (thanks again!). It rained the entire trip but we came prepared and was able to visit most of the sites we wanted to see and some snow play. Out of everything we did, relaxing at the cabin was the favorite for our little people 😄 Thank you Ron, and hope to visit for another stay!
