For the first time in Arnold, I was very impressed with this cozy beauty of a cabin, dog friendly and my kids loved it. We will be booking this place for every ski week trip.

We are so glad you had a wonderful stay! We would be more than happy to host you again!
Great cabin, great time. When we arrived the cabin smelled strongly of smoke (someone had lit a fire?). The property manager helped us get the smell out quickly and we had a great week.

Great place. Every detail of the property was elevated. Slider slid easily, remotes all worked, even an outdoor fan! Lots of care

Excellent location, loved the house and especially the deck.
Everything was amazing! The only thing missing was a big pot to cook pasta and potatoes in and bbq tools. We couldn’t use the fire pit (no propane). The pool facilities were nice. BBQ-ing on the back and looking at the meteor shower was great! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. Sherry

We are so glad you enjoyed the cabin! For future reference, we don't allow use of outdoor fire pits during the summer due to the fire risk in this area. Thank you for understanding!

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The cabin was very nice and provided us with everything we needed. The property management did mot communicate with us. They did not return our calls or text. I feel bad for owners, because it is a very nice place.

We are so happy that you enjoyed the cabin… Isn’t it adorable? We are a little confused about your comment about us not responding to calls or texts as I am reviewing our conversations during your stay and it seems that we did respond- even offering immediately to come out to the cabin and help with a remote control issue that you were having, but see a response that you didn’t need us to do that. We work very, very hard to make sure that all of our guests are incredibly pleased, not only with the cabin but also with our service. I’m sorry if you felt that we did not respond properly… Looking at our communication I’m not sure that this is the case, but nonetheless, we do apologize for any miscommunication and are happy that you enjoyed your stay :-)
Everything was as described. The cabin was perfect for our family ski trip. It only took 25 minutes to get to Bear Valley. The property manager was very prompt in responding to questions. The check-in and check-out process was seamless. We will be returning!

Very clean and beautiful environment. Spent Christmas with the family we all enjoyed this gorgeous cabin, very close to Bear Valley. Overall experience was fantastic!
Cabin was super cute and updated with a nice layout, areas for family to hang out and cook. Parking was easy as well and location was perfect for us. The only negative was that the house was not fully cleaned, we arrived to dog paw prints all over the downstairs hall, dog hair through the bedrooms like they hadn’t been vacuumed, no trash cans in the bathrooms or towels upstairs in the primary bath, dirty kitchen utensils and counter tops. Made us a little leary of how clean everything else was when seeing that. The house itself was very cute though.

We are so glad you liked the house! I'm so sorry for the missing towels and dirty portions. We will redouble our efforts to ensure these things aren't missed in the future! We hope you will stay again sometime!
