Ideal Arnold cabin

Hardly a cabin, it’s a great second home, well furnished, well stocked, great views off the back deck and a very caring owner. This was our second stay and hope to return for a third soon.

Beautiful Cabin. Wonderful views

This property was wonderful! We went with our whole family for an annual trip. This house was comfortable and well stocked. The Cub Cave was great for the kiddos and gave them their own private place to relax. Beds were comfy and fans in all rooms was a plus! Would definitely recommend.

What a great mountain home, close to local trails and Calaveras Big Trees! Our kids and grandkids had the entire downstairs to themselves, and our other adult daughter and us (the grandparents) stayed upstairs! Everything we needed for cooking and comfort was provided. Thank you!

Family fun

The place and location were great! The entrainment (table tennis/foosball) was a great addition to the home. Place was clean and modern. The rooms were great, the instructions were simple, and the view was amazing. We had a really great time and I highly recommend this location for a family getaway.

Great Cabin

My family and I had a great time. We wish we could’ve stayed a few more days. The house is very nice with great views. It was very convenient to have hiking trails, White Pines Lake, and Calaveras State Park so close to the house. We hope to stay there again.

I have stayed in many Vrbo homes in many places, this was one of the BEST. It had everything one would need and so much more for our entire family. The owner was so easy to communicate with and check in was easy. There are so many things to do in the area. There was a great 4th of July parade near by. We really appreciated being able to stay in this home.

Lovely place to stay in Arnold.

This property was lovely. We stayed with the maximum allowed members (3 couples, 1 single, and 7 kids age 5 through 12) and everyone enjoyed themselves. It was perfect. Kids loved all the games as well as ping pong in the garage. Adults enjoyed a good puzzle after a day in the mountains. Beds were comfortable, honestly I think we could have still slept more comfortably due to how spacious it was. 10/10 would love to return and stay.

This place is amazing and the host is wonderful!

We had the best time at this property! The house is beautiful, clean, and has everything you need! The host is super friendly and answered any questions we had. To top it off, we got snowed in and not only did the host not hold us to the checkout time for safely reasons, the amazing neighbor plowed the driveway so we could get out safely. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!!

Our favorite room was the cub room. Our littles sleep comfortable and my husband and I were able to stay in the room to care for them. Everything that we needed for cooking was available in the kitchen from a variety of pots, coffee makers, knifes etc. Friendly environment for our family. Thank you!

Home away from Home...

We had a wonderful time. The home had all that you would need for a modest group size that cooked most meals at home. It was spacious and just like the photos. Despite having a power outage due to PGE it was still a great trip. The host was very helpful and always in consistent communication with PGE updates as well. Look forward to an opportunity to revisit this home again.

Cabin in the Pines

The house was very clean! The view from the ground floor balcony was beautiful. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable, but one of the beds upstairs was very lumpy and uncomfortable, also the bunk beds were rickety which frightened the children. We ended up putting those mattresses on the floor. The powder room toilet flusher stuck several times and we had to try to fix it. I think there is something wrong with the flushing mechanism. In spite of that we were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

Arnold Cabin

Me and my friends and Family started a tradition of going to snow or cabin for a weekend. This was our second stay in Arnold and we all loved Sandra’s property. The location was awesome. You do loose a little reception but Sandra did give a heads up before we went so o was able to have others I drove with leave it on their navigation as well. The cabin is away from neighbors with big safe parking. The cabin had more than we expected. Bunch of things that were provided that didn’t need to be. Thank you! It was super clean and we all enjoyed our stay and felt cozy and relaxed in the living room with the fireplace lit. Would recommend this property!
