Fantastic Cabin
May 2026
We visit Arnold often and have stayed in many different cabins. This one has been the best. Love the front porch with the rockers, it's a great place to have coffee. The cabin is very clean, easy to navigate and has everything you could ever want including a jukebox. It's quiet and steps away from nature. The cabin is centrally located and it's very easy to navigate Arnold and Murphy's. Chris is a very responsive and gracious host. We will be going back.

The cabin was clean, spacious and comfortable. Had everything we needed and more, including a jukebox. Chris is a gracious host. This is one of the best cabins we have ever stayed in! We will be going back.

Perfect Cabin Get-Away!
December 2025
This cabin exceeded our expectations! First communication with Chris was seamless. Instructions for checking in and check out was thorough and easy! Everything we could need was available, we BBQd, lounged in the recliners, sipped coffee on the deck and hiked around the neighborhood. It feels tucked away in the forest but restaurants and grocery stores are a quick drive away! We definitely want to stay again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure!

5 star stay
November 2025
By far the best place to stay. Very well done and renovated, beautiful cabin in a perfect location next to all the attractions. The hospitality and kindness couldn't get any better. Entertainment like multiple smart tv's and Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 were provided for my 9 year old son. Extremely clean, luxurious cabin.
