We had a great girls weekend and enjoyed our stay at the property. It was clean and had all that we needed for the weekend. The location was perfect! Close to town for food and music. Close to hiking at big trees and SUPing on Utica Reservoir. We will be back!

First ever cabin experience!!

We spent a couple nights at this cabin , it’s well maintained, clean and the location is very close to shopping markets , restaurants and Big Tree state park . The most convenient aspect for us was that the Tesla supercharger was very close to where we stayed so that was a huge relief!! The hosts were very responsive and we enjoyed our cabin experience!! Arnold is a great place to rent a cabin and enjoy !!

Great Property and location

This was our first time in Arnold and we really enjoyed our stay. the kitchen was fully stacked and the house was clean (except lot of dog hair on the sofa). We were not able to enjoy the backyard due to continuous rain, but overall had a great time. It gave the feeling of a home away from home. Scott was very responsive and helpful. We would love to come back again and stay here.

Great host, great location

We enjoyed staying at this home in Arnold, which is close enough to walk to the brewery/restaurant, grocery store and other necessities, and a short drive to Calaveras Big Trees Park. The home is large and comfortable. The host kindly let check in early on a Saturday and was very communicative. We enjoyed playing horseshoes in the backyard. The kitchen is extremely well stocked for cooking. The blankets and linens could use a deep clean, and the yard some tidying, but we were comfortable.

What a wonderful relaxing and fun filled weekend

I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Scott's cabin. The cabin was clean and very comfy, the location is terrific and near everything including a great grocery store. My husband and I along with our (3) kids and the dog had the best time at the cabin and playing in the snow. The kitchen has everything you need, and we were able to have all our meals there. We definitely will come again next year! Thanks, Scott, for the most enjoyable weekend!!.

Nice house in great location

Very nice house in convenient location. Close to Calaveras big trees and other outdoor activities. Clean and comfortable home, with fully stocked kitchen (ex. pots, pans, dishes, silverware). Enjoyed sitting on the deck with nice view of the meadow across the way. Highly recommend. We are definitely interested in coming back (maybe this time to explore the area in the winter).

Great location

This is not our first stay in Arnold. This house located very closely to the grocery store and highway 4. When we stayed there was winder storm with a lot of snow but we did not get stack in the house because it was so close to highway 4. In past we stayed in other houses further from highway and we were stack for 1-2 days until smaller roads where cleaned. House was very clean, stocked with anything you need. A lot of board games. Tv with netflix.

Cozy, comfortable, and perfect getaway!

What an amazing weekend in the cozy home. The house had absolutely everything we would need. The kitchen was stocked to the brim, plenty of blankets, pillows, etc. Beds were super comfy. Location could not be beat. It was secluded enough to offer privacy and was super quiet yet only a short walk to the store. Grocery store in town has everything you would need. Beautiful wrap around deck in front or a quiet huge patio in back nestled in the trees with plenty of seating and a fire pit. Our two dogs had plenty of room to roam around. Communication with owners was answered right away and they were available to help us when a breaker tripped. Come to Arnold and enjoy a lovely home away from home.

Clean, comfortable, convenient house

We loved our stay. Everything was easy and comfortable. Loved having a grocery store and a couple of restaurants walking distance away. I only wish the door code could have been provided the day before our arrival; it was provided the morning we were trying to get on the road, and I had to unpack my computer to check the email to access the door code (i don't have the app.) It was a bit of a hassle and a little nerve wracking . Everything else was great. Recommended.

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this cabin! The place was cozy, well-equipped, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. We spent hours playing in the snow, building snowmen, and enjoying the winter wonderland right outside our door. It was the perfect setting for quality time with family. The peaceful surroundings, combined with the warmth and charm of the cabin, made this trip unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to create lasting memories. Highly recommend this spot!
