The place was awesome!!!!! Clean, accommodated all 8 of us including our 93 year old mom. She loved it. There are great surprises that elevated our trip. Expectations were met and went above and beyond. The place has a great deck in the back, the bbq grill was awesome as we cooked on it two evenings, great location for Ironstone concerts, the clan is already thinking of going back again in winter. Neighbors were friendly and welcoming. Instructions on the place were clear and very well done. Loved the fact that clean up is easy and straight forward. Over all, a great place to stay. Highly recommended.

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.

5 star stay

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.

The cottage was very nice. All the ladies commented how it was even better than what the website showed. It was extremely clean and quite comfortable. The neighbors were friendly as well. Easy check in and check out. They gladly excepted our early check in request. We’d definitely stay again.

Perfect Cabin Get-Away!

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!

I'd love to welcome you back for another stay anytime. Safe travels and happy adventures! Best, Chris

We had an excellent stay at this home. The location was perfect, right between Murphys and Arnold, and only about a 40-minute drive to Bear Valley Ski Resort, which made getting around very easy. I stayed here with my wife and our two teenage boys, and the house was the perfect size for us. There was even an extra bedroom that went unused, so it would easily work for two families sharing the space.The home was very clean, and it’s clear that it was recently remodeled. Many of the fixtures and units felt new and updated, which made the stay even more comfortable. Chris was a great host, very kind, responsive, and open to communication throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend this place and would be happy to stay here again.

A magnificent cabin!

We spend a lot of time in Arnold and have rented many different cabins. This cabin was hands-down the best place we've ever stayed in Arnold. It's a big cabin with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. So if you have a large family it would be ideal. It's been updated. It has central air and heat, this was a first for us. Most cabins have a menagerie of heating options. This one was simple with a nest thermostat. Ceiling fans with bright dimmable lights in every room. We have stayed in cabins where the lighting has just been awful. It has a very nice kitchen and bathrooms. It was clean. I know that different people have different ideas of clean, but this cabin was clean. Another highlight for us was the jukebox. And had all of our favorite songs from the 80s. I am handicapped and the cabin was easy to navigate both inside and outside. The rocking chairs on the front porch, with a cup of coffee surrounded by nature was divine. The cabin is very close to hiking trails and it's tucked away in a natural setting. A big place for us.The cabinet is situated in an ideal location. It is close to all the businesses in Arnold and Big Trees.Chris is a gracious host and attentive. There is a part of me that doesn't want to leave a great review because I want it to be available when we go back. Having said that, if you're on the fence about this cabin, don't be. Rent it. You will not regret it.
