Sierra City Loves Falls Cabin - Walking Distance to Waterfall & PCT

8/10 Good
"The cabin was great. No issues at check in or during our stay. Only things noticed were lots of dog hair on the rug in the living room, the back double doors wouldn't lock, the door upstairs leading to the balcony and down to the driveway wouldn't lock, and the windows occasionally came off their closing-mechanism so you had to close them by hand. Otherwise, it was a nice cabin for the price. Would definitely stay here again."
