    4 families with young kids had a great time. The house was nice, they had plenty of games for the kids. It's close to Big Tree Market so it was convenient to quickly get some groceries.

    Beautiful Cabin/Home!! We had a great stay. Pictures don’t do justice, the house is very clean and it’s very welcoming. My children loved it. Perfect house for our family and friends snow trip. We drove about 40 minutes up to the snow in bear valley. Host was amazing and got back to me very quickly if I had questions. House had everything including washer and dryer with detergent. Kitchen has everything you will need including spices. Downstairs lower level is amazing, with master bedroom and kids room with their own little hangout room attached with a tv. The view from the balcony is beautiful, while drinking a coffee in the morning taking in the fresh air!! We will definitely be back soon!! Highly recommend this home.

    This property was great because of its versatile function. The lower floor was perfect for all the kiddos to hang out, play video games and watch movies while the adults hanged out on the main level floor. The home was also very clean and host was amazing in providing a lot of information on activities and equipment to use that they provided. The home is also very close to downtown which made it really easy to explore and relax. We 100% recommend this home for a group big or small, there’s enough space for everyone.

    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!

    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    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.
