We needed a last minute rental and the host was super accommodating. This property offers so much!! We also needed an ADA friendly situation and this fit the bill. Would stay again.
The house was big enough to hold our large family with plenty of space for everybody. The master bath has an incredible jet tub and the views are amazing.
This is a large, beautiful home! The house was well-stocked and beautifully decorated! It is designed for large groups to gather and have fun, and we did! We were there for Thanksgiving and appreciated the well stocked kitchen, large dining table, cozy relaxing areas with 2 fireplaces, as well as a fun game room! There was ample parking, even use of the garage, and the location was convenient for access to the State Park! Next trip to the area, we will definitely stay here again!
Sharin was an incredible host and made our stay at this massive gem of a cabin incredibly special. I would highly recommend checking out Arnold CA and this cabin in particular. The close access to national parks, downtown music, and the community amenities made this a perfect home away from home. Protip: stop at the Big Trees grocery (8 min drive) to stock up during your visit on any essentials.
