PLEASE NOTE:
Many other cabins in Arnold advertise a loft or game room as a bedroom. They lack heat/cool & don’t have smoke/CO alarms. They also lack privacy (no doors) making it difficult for multiple families on a vacation.
However, our cabin has 5 full bedrooms without any of the issues mentioned above. We have a separate game room too.

▶︎ Main-level Living

No stairs are needed to access the living room, family room, kitchen, 2 dining areas, the master bedroom suite with bathroom, the powder room (i.e. half bath), laundry area & our gorgeous decks. 

This 'main level living' is great if you have elderly people, kids, or members with disability or mobility challenges.

Our cabin has just 2 levels. That also makes our house extremely roomy & expansive - great for entertaining large groups and for family get-togethers.
