"Because this cabin is steps to our friend's house, the convenience factor is 5/5. Below is my honest review. The cabin is set up on a hillside in Big Trees Village. This is maybe 15 min further up the road from Arnold, which has the grocery store, restaurants, and White Pines Lake. There is parking directly out front. I estimate there to be 20+ steps up to the deck and front door, so if you have any mobility issues, this is not the cabin for you. I would describe the cabin as basic and...
