    The house is ver spacious and feels very warm. Our host checked on us to make sure we had arrived and responded to any messages. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to revisit.

    This was a great home for our family gathering. We celebrated Christmas early with 4 generations all in one home. There was plenty of space to enjoy family fun and togetherness, but still allow for quiet spaces if the little ones were sleeping. The kitchen was amazing, with literally everything we needed to cook a gourmet meal, serve it and the two ovens were a gift! The host even went above and beyond by decorating the home for Christmas for us prior to our arrival. We also loved that it was dog friendly, what a blessing to have that option. The neighborhood was beautiful, groceries super close by and many other fun sights within minutes. We'd love to stay again some time!

    This house is really a home. The home is well appointed and well cared for. It's a pleasure working in a kitchen that has tools and utensils including any size pot or pan required. The Pantry is awesome. Plenty of bedrooms (we had 10 Adults and 6 children). Clean and beautifully appointed. The kids had a great time on the rope swing downstairs. WiFi is excellent. Cell service is spotty throughout the area. We had no T-Mobile service at the house (I did however have sattelite text service) Had a great time. I do highly recommend this home for a group sized 16.

    Stayed here for my aunts 70th birthday and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house was lovely and had a ton of amenities. Owners were very accesible and helpful.

    We stayed here with family during Christmas. We had a large group of 16 people and the home was spacious and had all of the amenities that we needed. The kids really enjoyed the game room. There is a trail nearby so we went on walks almost daily and the views were beautiful. The location was convenient near a market, Tesla EV Charger, and a short drive to Big Trees park and Murphy's town where there are lots of wineries and shops.The host was very communicative throughout our stay and even prior to our visit since we booked 8 months in advance to secure the location for our family Christmas. He was helpful figuring out some of our needs and made us feel welcome.I would highly recommend this place for large groups and if you like to have access to nature. It's a beautiful home in a beautiful location.

    We have rented properties in this area for over 30 years for our Thanksgiving holiday. This was one of the best. It was beautifully furnished and equipped. The deck was an asset for allowing our little ones to be outside but safe. There was a life-sized stuffed bear inside which they loved after being reassured it was not real! We appreciated having bathtubs to bathe the little ones in. Parents of the little ones brought their own portable cribs, so we did not use the bunk beds. We appreciated the high chair we found. It was easy to improvise to suit our needs because of the number of rooms. We loved the large dining table and used it for every meal. We enjoyed being so near the hiking trails and did take one hike even though we could not locate a trail map. Be advised that cell phones on AT&T’s network do not work here. Verizon is fine. Wi-fi worked great. The area is very scenic. We traditionally spend time in Columbia State Park and Murphys which we recommend for those visiting the area. The instructions and owner responsiveness was very good. We had no problems.We are grateful that there are still people willing to rent their homes to parties like ours. Thank you!

    We had the BEST time staying here. It’s pretty incredible when 11 adults and two 2-year-olds can share a space and not feel like they’re on top of each other. This home is spacious, gorgeous, well stocked with everything (if we come back, I can bring less random stuff!), and was the perfect getaway for our family. One thing that stood out to me was that there were plenty of private rooms too, when most listings will have several beds in one room and say it sleeps 10. There are so many comfortable rooms for adults here and I know our family really appreciated it. Plus, the kids loved running around all over the place and I felt like they were safe in controlled area. I can’t say enough nice things about it. I would just say that if you’re considering it… book it!

    Place was best fit for our weekend planning and fellowship; sufficient facilities. Further enhanced by a very charming environment as we still caught up with fall foliage.

    My family and I go to Arnold for Labor Day weekend and this year we stayed here as our group was a little larger than past years. The cabin was very big and fit me and my family very well. Doug was very helpful with everything and available when we needed him. This cabin is very roomy and comfortable clean and we definitely will be staying here again.
