The cabin was clean and well supplied. The decor was not updated, but the location was great for this mountain newbie. The view was pleasing, and I appreciated having neighbors and main road near by. The road noise acceptable for this city girl.

Thank you for choosing our cabin in the woods for your vacation getaway. Our mountain house is in use by generations of our family who often visit the place built by our great grandparents. We are all delighted to hear when someone has made memories with their own family beneath the cedars of Arnold! You are welcome back anytime. Cheers.
