Enjoy the fresh mountain air while escaping the city & avoiding the crowds of Tahoe! Come and relax at the Chesa Madrisa, a Swiss inspired mountain home, built in 2001. An ideal location just 3-4 hours from the Bay Area, nestled on the edge of Big Trees State Park, and approximately half way between Bear Valley Ski Resort & Murphys, an historical mining town in the Sierra Nevada foothills now well known for excellent wineries and its charming main street. Big Trees Village is approximately halfway between Tahoe & Yosemite.
