Not what I expected and not suited for small children
The location was great with quick access to town and our point of interest Calaveras Big Trees and the beds were super comfortable. But, unfortunately the property itself did not live up to the listing description. Kitchen appliances and pans were dirty with dust and grease. The vacuum cleaner was completely full and needed to be enjoyed before we could use it. And there was tons of trash and debris under the upstairs beds. We were also disappointed too find out that the hot tub listed in the homes amenities was not actually available and had only been noted in a single line note in the homes description. I did mention that the main listing should be updated with that info and it should removed from the list of available amenities so that it doesn't show up in searches for properties with a hot tub and folks aren't confused like we clearly were. ***Be ware that if you have small children, this isn't the safest as the stairs are far from regulation and can easily fall through the railings or down the steep steps***

Just right for our needs!
Overall, great owners, very attentive and we’d definitely stay here during the winter months again! FYI-I never give 5 stars because to me, that indicates perfection and IMHO, anything can be improved. The backyard was great for our needs with all fresh snow and we were able to do sledding for our 3 year old boys and 6 year old. Plenty of room for the dog to run as well and it was beautiful scenery with hills, trees and mini creeks; very relaxing! The interior was just right for 5 adults that appreciate cozy quarters and 3 kids (3 year old twins and 6 year old) and 70 pound lab. New appliances were wonderful. Other interior items (ie: light fixtures, drawers, cabinets, shelves with hooks) had loose connections and handles but nothing that significantly affected our stay. Biggest suggestions for improvements: Both toilets often bubbled upon flushing to where liquid (just a drop or 2) would spit out of toilet onto floor so we were frequently cleaning that because it came from contents of toilet before it was all clean water. My dad reminds me this is a frequent challenge with maintenance on houses with septic. We’ve also had this experience with other homes we’ve stayed at. The owner immediately attended to our concerns regarding the large quantity of white dog hair on couch, under couch and in sheets and indicated they were going to use a different cleaning service in the future. Again, we definitely plan to stay here in the future!

Couldn’t have asked for more.
Everything was clean! Sheila was very responsive from the beginning. We had a few nice days of getaway and this cabin is in the perfect location. We had sun, we had snow and lots of laughs. This cabin is the perfect size for 7-8 people.

Great location, amazing hosts
Overall a great place to stay in terms of location: there is even a restaurant 4 min on foot away, which is only open in certain hours but still. The house has everything we needed, the hosts were amazing and super understanding, so this is a huge plus. Note: I would not recommend sleeping upstairs in winter and this is a loft and always colder than downstairs. The heat takes a long time to travel up, so it was very hot in downstairs bedrooms and still cold upstairs. One of the twin beds was crooked and you’d sleep head or feet down, not parallel to the floor. Otherwise they even provide small headlights for tye guests (to borrow), and all linens and everything you need. Alexa and soft music playing when we came in was a nice touch! I’d stay again but probably in summer when it is warmer or just plan to sleep in the bedrooms. Thanks again to the hosts!

Great stay!
Firstly, I almost never give out 5 stars so don't take my final rating as not good. Yes there were things that were not perfect but to be honest, very very few things are. We loved the cosiness, the modern appliances (shocked) and the location. We were traveling to Bear Valley each day for skiing but while it was a a fair drive of about 30 mins it was worth it as this cabin was very cost effective. The cabin was warm, had a nice fire stove that we used and all around was a great stay. We talked about booking the same cabin next year.

We loved our stay at this property. It had all the amenities one needs for a comfortable stay.
We loved this rental and plan to return. One thing to note, there is no cell service (in the town or at the cabin)for AT&T customers but we didn’t mind at all.

Cute cabin
Check in process and communication was stellar! Very equipped kitchen although we did not cook much since we were at our friends cabin. Quiet neighborhood and all you could need was there. Seems like more of a cabin for fall/winter than summer although deck was nice and big. Our timing was poor for the extreme heat in Arnold and while we did not sleep up in loft if others were with us it would have been an oven! All in all a pleasant experience.

Lovely Cabin
We enjoyed are stay and the house had everything we needed. It’s a cute little A frame in a nice neighborhood. Bedrooms were comfortable with nice sheets. Our kids really enjoyed the loft and especially the foosball table. It’s very close to the lake, although we didn’t use it. We really enjoyed White Pines lake which is public and a short 5 min drive down the highway.
