I would give this place a 4.5. It was very nice. Check in was super easy. The place was very comfortable and clean, but slightly worn. Unfortunately, the cookware needs upgrading because the teflon pans were scratched beyond usability. That's probably my biggest complaint because the kitchen is the biggest perk to renting a house (in my opinion).

Comfortable, well-lived home in Arnold/Dorrington

Nice cabin & lots of room for everyone. The kitchen is well-equipped. The pool table downstairs is loads of fun. Fantastic location. Great communication with owner (property manager?) Would stay here again.

Best weekend stay ever!

I never leave reviews but I wanted to let people know this rental was great in every way. The cabin is so amazing. Host thought of Everything. Furniture was incredible. Whether we were in bed or relaxing on the couch enjoying tv and a fire. We were comfortable. Would choose to stay there over and over again!

Excellent property, excellent location

We had a fun three night stay at this house. The owner Sachin was very quick to respond to us. Property is nestled in a very quiet neighborhood and very peaceful. Just what we needed to get away for a few days. Kitchen very well stocked. Will book again without a hesitation and will recommend to everyone.

Our stay in the mountain forest

We loved this house in part due to its peaceful location among the big trees of Arnold. It is even nicer in real life than in the pictures. We spent a lot of time just relaxing on the deck and enjoying the absolute quiet. The house is very charming. The wifi works great. Thanks for such a nice experience!

Labor Day Weekend Getaway

This cabin was awesome!!! There was 6 of us and we had an amazing time. Our plans took a left turn because we thought we were going up for a sun filled weekend, but got thunderstorms and rain. This cabin was great either way. Had so much fun playing pool and foosball or just watcching movies confortably in the family room.

Convenient and Cozy

The mountain home was perfect for our week long stay. The home was clean and well furnished. We cook all of our meal in house and really appreciated the well equipped kitchen. The game room down stairs was a real bonus with a pool table and foosball table. The only downside was the drive and walkway to the house on the deck. We had freezing temperatures and snow. The drive way was extremely slippery and even with shoveling and spreading snow ice melt we had challenges getting up and down the driveway. Just needed to be extra careful. Otherwise, great home and host. Easy to get to the Bear Valley ski area. Will look at staying here next year!

Great location, beautiful home, great host!

The property and host both exceeded our expectations. Our host communicated promptly (and friendly!) during the entire process from booking to departure The location of the property is excellent. The home is easy to find off the highway and far enough from the highway that you really felt nestled in the woods. There are other homes nearby but you hardly know it once in the home as all you can see out the windows are big beautiful trees. It felt very private. The home is an easy drive to everything. We drove a few minutes away to Big Trees National Park which is breathtaking. A short distance up the mountain is the ski/snowboard resort, sledding/inner-tubing and cross country skiing. We brought sleds up the mountain and pulled over on the side of the road and found a great place to sled. A short drive gets you to a cute town with groceries and places to eat. We have spent time in the area in the summer and it's just as fun with lakes and hiking all around. The house has everything you could need, comfortable beds with ample bedding, kitchen loaded with everything you need, and lots of activities including the pool table and foosball table. There was plenty of space for everyone in our group of 8 people ranging in ages from 5 to 72. There is a nice lounge loft for the teenager, activities in the game room for the adults and lots of space for the little kids to spread out their toys and games. We would be happy to return. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
