1000/10 experience. It is definitely the best rental I have stayed in. The amazing Sierra Nevada views on the way to the cabin get you ready for this cozy and renovated space. It has everything you would think of as if it was your own home. Fully stocked up with essentials and even non-essentials such as extra towels, forest animal decor, full board games shelf and even a foosball/pool table. Our favorite part was being able to enjoy a morning coffee on the deck and chitchat our way to grilling our lunch and ending the nights in the game room. You can tell a lot of love was poured into this cabin to make it feel like a place you'd want to stay all summer long. Host was very communicative and responsive. We enjoyed the complimentary shared pool and enjoyed seeing families out and about, in the pool, lounging on the grass, and playing pingpong. My personal favorite thing is the recliner, nice deep green color, with coloring books right next to it. I got to enjoy a cozy coloring morning on that recliner while friends started their day on the deck soaking in the sun or reading on the couch next to me. We are also very grateful that our dog could join us on this adventure. Oatmeal had a great time enjoying the cabin and checking out the deck as well. Host was very kind to leave poop bags by the door, and two bowls for our pet. Thank you for all your efforts to make this getaway so magical.

Cozy camp

We loved the cabin 10/10, and could have stayed all summer. The directions leading up to, during, and ending were clear, and there was so much to do in the house in terms of games, reading, tv, fire pits/places to just hang out. The recommendations and instructions on the wall posters were really helpful and blended into the place. It’s well stocked with things to cook, clean, and plenty of toiletries. The beds were so comfy (wife ordered the sheets for our own). The host was super responsive (and patient with me). The loft area being a cozy, fun hangout really sold it for my daughter. Last bit- the mix of furniture/decoration throughout the house was the right amount of blend between “old camp” and some modern stuff

Cozy in Arnold

This cabin in Arnold completely exceeded expectations. The setup is thoughtful, cozy and clearly done with care. What really stood out, though, was how warm and inviting the space felt. It strikes that perfect balance between beautifully updated and genuinely cozy. Every detail—from the finishes to the furnishings—made it feel like a true retreat rather than just a rental. It was the kind of place where you instantly relax the moment you walk in. Peaceful, comfortable, and full of charm. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy getaway with a touch of modern elegance.
