The cabin was super clean which we appreciated. It was easy to check in and out of. The location of the cabin was perfect, easy to get to the lake and go to Arnold or any of the other cute towns. It was really nice to have the air conditioning to cool off with the couple days it was hot.

Great mountain escape

We had a wonderful stay over the weekend. It was very hot outside and we very thankful for the cabin having a new AC system. We spent most of our time outside on the big deck enjoying the views. The Wi-Fi was a very fast and we had excellent coverage for the TV’s and our devices.

Lovely Stay in the Woods

We stayed here with our three sons under the age of 11. The layout of the house was well thought out. The house was equipped with everything you would need and more. Plenty of space for a group to spread out. Comfy beds. The kids enjoyed exploring the outdoors around the home. The surrounding town had lots to do. We loved exploring Big Trees and all the river spots. Will definitely be back!

Nice cabin, walkable to Dorrington Hotel

We stayed at this cabin to attend a wedding at the Dorrington Hotel. The cabin was comfortable and very well stocked. The listing does not share the coffee maker situation, and I wasn't able to connect with the property manager to determine what type of coffee to bring. The cabin has K-cups and a Keurig, as well as a traditional filter-style coffee maker with available paper filters. Our stay was great!

Could not have lucked out more with a great house and host! We really enjoyed this cabin. Lots of space for a bigger group and family. Great amenities and close to nearby activities. AC was clutch for warm weather but we loved the deck. Downstairs has a good area to stay entertained with foosball. Plenty of board games too. Overall a great experience and hope to be back at the Apache Cabin next year for Labor Day at the Luber Day Soccer Tournament!

We enjoyed our stay! Nice not to have other cabins too close. Unbelievable how quiet it was! Our only issues was a power outage (not by fault of owner), directly after check in and it was dark. Only one real candle (couple of battery operated candles), more real candles would be helpful for power outages.

Nice place in central location

I've stayed in Arnold several times, but this was my first time staying with a smaller group. This house was great for our family plus 1 adult friend. I always appreciate having two family rooms and a room with bunk beds and this house had both. I also liked the big porch looking out into the woods. My only complaint is there were no coffee grinds, spices or oils to cook with. Typically houses provide those bare-minimums.
