Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property was ideal for me. Tucked away in the beautiful trees of Arnold but easily accessible and private without being secluded. Many homes in Arnold have steep driveways or steep stairs but this cabin has a short, mostly flat driveway with only 3 short steps directly connected to an enclosed front deck which was great for my dog and coming and going during the stay. Plenty of space with a nice open floorplan. Rooms are comfy and they had everything I needed and more. It's a cabin feel without overdoing it, and has fun things that individuals, families, kids, dogs, or couples can all enjoy. Lastly, check-in and out was simple, great communication, and they had a very nice binder with WiFi and other helpful info which was clear and helpful.
