Before you book
Check-in and check-out
Check-in from 4:00 PM, check-out by 10:00 AM. Self check-in with a smart lock; arrival details are sent before your stay.
Guests and parking
The Pinewood sleeps up to 14 guests. Placer County separately limits guests aged 12 and over to 12 overnight and 18 during the day; children under 12 don’t count toward those limits, so a group of 14 includes at least two children under 12. Parking for up to 4 vehicles on site; street parking isn’t permitted.
Quiet hours and house rules
Quiet hours are 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM, as set by Placer County, and outdoor speakers aren’t allowed at any time. No pets, no smoking or vaping, and no parties or events. Trash goes in the bear-proof enclosure.
Layout, stairs and winter
The cabin has several levels with stairs between them. In heavy snow the grill and outdoor furniture may be put away, and Caltrans may require chains or 4WD/AWD on the drive in.

Full refund if you cancel at least 30 days before arrival, and a 50% refund at least 14 days before. The terms for your dates are shown before you pay.

Your total is itemized before you pay: nightly rate, cleaning fee, taxes and a 1% booking fee. Stays for more than 12 guests include an extra-guest fee.
