What a wonderful winter stay! The house was extremely clean and comfortable, and located in a beautiful quiet area. The best part was how close it is to the Arnold Ridge Trail (literally a stone's throw from the front door). We loved taking early morning walks through the grasslands and woods with our doggies. Highly recommend!
Our 3rd stay at the cabin was excellent. We had all the information needed to enjoy the cabin, lake, and the amenities. Perfect place for family time!

Hi Catherine - We are so pleased you enjoyed your time at our lovely place in Lakemont Pines. I'm sorry the W/D was not available. There was a flooding issue with the washer. We hope to have it replaced in the near future. Have a wonderful summer. Best, Beverley
We loved this quiet cozy cabin in a beautiful part of Arnold. The owner was very responsive and helpful in assisting us in rescheduling. Our children asked to return again!

Hi Marisa - Thank you for choosing to stay at the cabin. So pleased it was quiet and cozy for you. We were so pleased to assist you in rescheduling. Please do bring your children back again. You are always welcome. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Best, Beverley
This cozy home is centrally located allowing for easy access to hiking, wine tasting, restaurants, and other adventures. Having a grill is a big plus as well.
Great place for a family to stay. It's a good base camp for activities up the mountain as well as closer to Arnold. Only complaint is there isn't any dishwasher!
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin over the New Year! We played countless board games next to the fire, and did many hikes on the nearby ART. The cabin was cozy, and cleaned.
We absolutely love this location, and Beverley is such an accomodating host. My wife and I have been coming here for years and we love it! The location is perfect, especially being located adjacent to an amazing trail entrance. We will definitely be booking again as soon as we can.

Hi Doug - We are so pleased your time at the cabin was comfortable and enjoyable. So sorry you had one less day. Hope you do come back in the future. Maybe we will run into each other in Santa Cruz. Be well
Great cabin located close to restaurants and grocery store. Great location for anyone looking to enjoy the mountains and outdoor activities. Bed was great and the heated blanket was wonderful. Our dog loved it too!
This cabin is very nice, with two decks and nearby a hiking path. Also very convenient to the private lake, which is perfect for a family with young children.
We loved staying at this property. Beautiful location and home. The owner had great communication with us. If you are considering staying in Arnold, this place is perfect for families!!!
