(PRWEB) January 20, 2005 -- A new Snowshoe Paradise in the Tahoe National
Forest, Shinneyboo Creek Cabin Resort is of unsung local historic interest, with
evidence of abandoned mining towns and the vague remnants of old wagon trail
ruts from the late 1800’s found nearby. Shinneyboo Creek Cabin Resort is located
near the historic site of Cisco, a once prosperous town in the 1860s during the
building of the Transcontinental Railroad through the infamous Donner Summit.
Photographs taken of the area in 1866, found in the Library of Congress, grace
the cabin walls and help tell the story of the times.
Experience the
clean comfort of these newly built classic mountain cabins that sit in a village
cluster in the woods on 160 acres near the base of Old Man Mountain where
Shinneyboo Creek and South Yuba River meet. Surrounded on three sides by Tahoe
National Forest, each cabin features cozy linens, a queen bed, a cast iron gas
stove, whirlpool tub, loft and private porch. A small convenience kitchen with
fridge, microwave & coffeemaker are available.
A continental
breakfast of fresh baked goods, seasonal fruit, juice, tea and fresh ground
coffee is provided to your door each morning by local Truckee Innkeepers,
Michael & Chris Rogers. See the look of pure wonder & delight on your
child’s face, when they discover snow play areas are right outside your door for
the kids. At night tell stories around the flicker of firelight, play games, sip
hot chocolate and enjoy the peaceful retreat of the mountains. Take a leisurely
nature snowshoe walk to the Pierce Creek Wetland Trail and the Yuba River or
explore the backcountry of the high Sierra on the Pacific Crest Trail. World
class skiing is just up the road on Donner Summit at Sugar Bowl, Boreal, Soda
Springs & Royal Gorge. Clear blue skies, abundant snow and starry nights
await the adventuresome. Stay awhile at Shinneyboo Creek Cabin Resort, enjoy a
romantic mountain experience in your own private & intimate "cabin in the
woods".
