We all agree that this one is our favorite! We wanted a place where we wouldn’t have to drive to go sledding and this place delivered. Snow literally right outside the door. Kids played in the snow on the deck and went sledding right outside the door. Very clean place with the perfect mix of modern home and cozy cabin. ##### Valerie J.

The kitchen was fully stocked, updated appliances and overall nicely decorated. Our only criticism was that it smelt like animal urine, especially when sitting on the floor and on the couch. We loved that it was pet friendly and ultimately was why we booked it but the smell was very overpowering. Also, upon checking in we were never sent in check in information so we had to call when we got there. Other than those two things, we loved it! Thank you for having us! ##### Matt L.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy and well-appointed mountain cabin. It was so clean when we arrived, which is one of the top things I look for in a rental, so we were off to a great start. We were two couples traveling with a toddler as well as two dogs, and we couldn’t have been more comfortable. Because the bedrooms are situated on different levels (each floor with a bathroom), it’s a great situation for two families or multiple couples traveling together. We gave our daughter the bedroom and slept in the loft, which was a perfect situation for us. Beyond the great sleeping situation, we were really happy with how well-appointed the cabin was. The kitchen is recently updated and has pretty much everything you’d need to cook big dinners every night. Pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker, pasta strainer, you name it. Beyond the cabin itself, the location couldn’t be more perfect. It’s in a quiet neighborhood (great for long morning walks), close to coffee and downtown Arnold, and a short drive away from a variety of lakes that are great for swimming and water activities in the summer, and what I imagine are fabulous snow activities in the winter. We have already booked our second stay, this time for the winter! We already can’t wait to come back. ##### Kate O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zoe 11 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Very clean and inviting home with loads of privacy. Literally 6 mins from Calaveras Big Trees state park. Our family of six felt like we were staying at relative’s house. The kitchen was pristine and well stocked as well as the bathrooms. The beds were all clean and comfortable with an abundance of extra pillows and blankets as needed. Amanda was the best at responding and was such a flexible and gracious host. Overall, my family had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to highly recommend this cabin!
