This is our favorite stop on our way back to Tulloch Cottage from Bear Valleys Ski Resort. It's located on highway 4 (4 miles east from Murphy's). Seriously the best hot apple cider, pies and pastries!

A changing food list and so many beer/wine/cider options (on draft and to go) that never disappoints! Great atmosphere and ideal for a big group. Their main dining and outdoor area has plenty of large tables with bench seats. You can enjoy the fire pit, creek view and outdoor games while you eat and drink.

The Golf Club at Copper Valley
1001 Saddle Creek DrBest course in the foothills. 5 min drive from Tulloch Cottage!
Towering sequoias. Raging waterfalls. Soaring granite cliffs. Yosemite is one of the oldest National Parks in the country, and in my very biased opinion, THE BEST! The Big Oak Flat entrance is the closest entrance from Tulloch Cottage (1.5 hour drive).

The antithesis of a large, corporate-run ski resort. It's family-owned, family-friendly, quaint and plenty of good terrain. The best part about it is that you can still tailgate in the parking lot and it's only an hour east from Tulloch Cottage!

This is our go-to ski resort in Norcal. It's a little over an hour away from Tulloch Cottage. It's laid back, unpretentious, and family-friendly. Great snow, runs, views, staff and overall vibe. Bring your own food and drinks. The options are limited and a bit pricey.
