Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cabin was perfect. It is close to our cabin. We have a big family gathering every President's day and family has grown too larger for our cabin. This works well for sleeping and getting little ones naps/to bed away from all the activity.

Great stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience. It was our first time visiting thr big trees area. There were a lot of things to do that we didn't get to do. The property fit our needs and had everything we needed. The prior communication was great as far as what to expect. There were a lot of family activities at the property itself that we enjoyed. The beds were comfortable and everything was provided, linnens, blankets and pillows. The bathrooms were clean and we had plenty of towels and tp, tissues etc. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics and had plastic bags and foil, basic spices and some cooking oil. The cons for us was there is no air conditioning. It got a bit uncomfortable.The house itself was clean, but could use a deep clean. I noticed a few places that could use some attention window sill in the upstairs bathroom had some dead bugs, cobwebs and spiders, baseboards were dusty, window screens were dirty. Everything else was great as far as cleanliness. There was a lot of sap on the deck and grounds. There was sap on the steps it seems like the property could use some tree work.Our family thought that the main couch was not very comfortable. And some of the games needed some attention. The air hocky table needs a new puck and the table itself has a piece of paneling that needs to be glued down. The ping pong net had a piece broken off and wasn't easy to clamp on and could be replaced. It worked well enough and we still had fun with it. We knew the hot tub was out of service before we arrived but it would have been nice to have. All in all we had a really fun time. This was a great property. I would return but maybe when the weather was cooler we were there in August and the temps were in the 90s it would be fine if it was even in the 80s

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a perfect home for this trip. There were 5 of us, all us us were able to haveseparate rooms which was nice. The home was clean and well outfitted. The hot tub was very nice.The only complaint was none of the beds had sheets on them on arrival. That bothered a few of the ladies in our group. They requested the sheets be removed and folded at the foot of each bed. Over all experience 5***

Nice mountain cabin
We had a fantastic time in this large but cozy cabin. There was plenty of wood for the fireplace, Wi-Fi was clear and never went out, and while there were enough trees and quiet to feel like we were “getting away”, Arnold offered plenty of stores for the things we forgot to bring. Definitely would stay again.

Overall, a great stay
Loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a proper cabin in the forest. Stayed in the summer and it was hot, and looking forward to possibly coming back during snow season. Note that pillows weren't provided due to covid. I didn't find out until an email came after I had already left home and was staying at a different property. We had to buy 8 pillows and stuff them into our already packed cars. Minor thing but worth planning ahead for.

Perfect for a large group
The house was the perfect jump off place for daily fun and adventure. We had 10 people (9 adults and 1 child) and the house fit us very well with plenty of common space for us to all be together or split up when needed. The house was pretty clean though the down stairs shower could use a deep clean especially the shower mat. Over all, perfect setting for our family vacation! Management were very sweet and we felt well taken care of.

Communication with the owner was easy and the internet connection was fast. The property was exactly as described, location was close to Lakes and Calaveras State Park and the neighborhood is quite.
