Squirrel Away-Pet Friendly, A/C & Lake Access!

Overall this place was great for our family. We weren’t too familiar with the Arnold area and found that if you’re staying there to go to New Malones it is a greater distance than we would have liked but would love this place again if we want to stay closer to Arnold and do Big Trees again as well. The one piece of feedback or clarification I will make is that it is advertised with ‘lake access’ which makes it sound as though the property is right at/near the water and it’s not. You do need to drive to access the ‘lake’ which is really small. However the home itself was cute and the space was what we needed. I’m unclear who I was in communication with, I assume the rental mgt company- but there communication was great and Derek was very helpful!

I definitely recommend this cabin. Really comfortable, great sunny deck among the trees, EPIC Lego bin kept the kids happy and occupied. One thing to consider is that only one of the lakes nearby allows dogs in the beach area (even on leash). So while this cabin does allow pets, which we really appreciated, there's not many local things you can do with them besides walks. Having said that, our pup still had a great time galvanting around the forest and I would definitely return to this spot. Heard a mountain lion on the last night. Been coming to this area since I was a baby, love how wild it still is!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at Squirrel Away. We love that they are pet friendly, have A/C and are close to everywhere we wanted to go. The two couches in the lvg room are very comfy as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay here.

This is an excellent VRBO, we loved staying here! A wonderful place to stay. It’d be great if you could include in your checkin/welcome email where to find the small lockbox on a post facing the door. (And include a small note on the garage lockbox redirecting people to the post.) We did not have iPhone connectivity & had to go back to the Fire Station in town to have them call you for us. It might be even better to get a digital entry pad on the front door. Otherwise, everything was great! Thanks!!

Love that the cabin has ac and the 2 couches in the lvg room gave us plenty of space for both my husband and I to relax. Nice quiet location but still close to everything. Looking forward to visiting the private lake in our next visit

Well stocked, clean and comfy. One anomaly was the round coffee filters for a cone shaped machine. The deck on the back porch had lots of nail heads raised, so don’t go out barefoot.

Nice place that didn’t have a ton of steps. Really enjoyed our week’s stay here and will be back.

The cabin was perfect for our little family of 5 (parents 3 toddlers) for an extended weekend stay. The place was clean, the bunkbeds were perfect for the kids (they had a blast playing with the big bin of legos), and the beds were firm and very comfortable. Check-in was super easy - we had a bit of trouble finding the lockbox but was able to call the property management and they were very responsive. We also noticed the coffee maker was broken and the property manager was able to drop off a brand new coffee maker the next morning, which was so nice. The kitchen was fully stocked - it even had a fully stocked spice cabinet. We were there to spend time in the snow, so we drove to Spicer Snow park and Bear Valley Adventure Co for sledding, which was only 25-30 min drive. There's a supermarket down the hill when you come down Moran Rd - super convenient for grabbing food/supplies. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Reviewer Comments: This is the perfect place for you to get away from it all and enjoy the finer things the outdoors has to offer like hiking, skiing, and even wine tasting if you're so inclined. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet, secluded, and friendly while being close enough to all the things you want to do in the area. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

This property was totally clean and the posted photos are accurate. Plus the management was very thoughtful; they even turned on the A/C so the house was nicely cool before we arrived. (The weather was unusually hot). The little lake was lovely & also thoughtfully set up for small children. Our friends own a house a block away & close to Sequoia Woods, so the neighborhood is perfect for us as well! I will encourage other friends to rent this little house too! Thank you!

We stayed in Arnold to see a few days at Bear Valley. The house had everything we needed and the kids loved the bunk bed set up. Our kids are small still (3,5,7 years old) so the space was just right. If there were more adults or older children it might be a little tight. We would highly recommend this house for future visits!
