Wonderful Cabin in the trees!
The cabin was wonderful for our family! The kitchen was fully stocked and everything was labeled which made it easy to find things and put them back in the proper place. We enjoyed going to Big Tree's and visited 3 little lakes during our visit. Our grandson liked practicing his casting off the deck. The back yard was wonderful! We had a fabulous trip!

Relaxing weekend in Arnold!
The cabin was perfect for my family of 6, plus 2 dogs. My communication with Diana and Tony was great, we arrived 2 and half hours early, Tony stopped what he was doing at work, and reset the door code for us. As far as the cabin itself, it is just like the pics, no surprises! The cabin was very clean, beds and sofa were very comfortable, and the Hot Tub was awesome!!! 5 STARS

Wonderful getaway
Our group of friends had a wonderful time during our stay here. The house had plenty of room for our group of four. We loved lounging with morning coffee on the decks and using the hot tub after a day of hiking. The house had everything we needed to cook our own meals and the fireplace was wonderful for nights indoors. It’s a great location for visiting Murphys and Lake Alpine. There was an issue with lighting in the living room (overhead bulbs out and a lamp not working) which weren’t fixable during our stay, but we appreciated the responsiveness from the hosts, who I suspect will take care of everything before the next guests’ arrival.

Great hosts, awesome cabin!
Cabin was exactly what we were looking for, private yet close to tons of things to do. Tony and Diana were awesome - they reached out to us the day before to let us know about some unexpected snow and to give us a great recommendation of a place to stop on the way to the cabin. We had a few questions during our stay and Tony and Diana were very responsive. The cabin had everything we needed for an extended weekend. The kitchen had great appliances and all the kitchenware you'd need. There were a variety of games to play and books to read. Our boys love playing in the yard and we all enjoyed the hot tub. Highly recommend this cabin and would love to make another trip back.

Great Attentive Hosts!
Our family decided to “Go For It” when we heard there was a big storm coming. The hosts checked with us beforehand to let us know things might be a little tricky. Bear Valley was closed with the big storm, but having this immaculate, well-stocked cabin with games, foosball, fireplace and THE HOT TUB gave us a perfect spot to watch the snow come down and spend time together. Thanks Tony and Diana!!!

Great cabin!
Our family of 5 really enjoyed this cabin. The kitchen area is nicely updated, and the bbq & jacuzzi are easily accessible from there. For Summer there’s a nice patio up a few stairs with an outdoor fireplace, heat lamp, plenty of seating and lounge area. Cabin sits North/South so you get plenty of natural sunlight. Kids loved sleeping in the loft area and playing games. Owners were responsive and helpful. Will definitely stay again!

Lovely cabin in the woods
We had a wonderful stay at Diana’s cabin! The place is charming and cozy. I loved cooking in the kitchen! It has a long breakfast bar and all the things you need to cook. My husband and I also loved the hot tub. It was clean and hot when we arrived! Diana could not have been more kind and helpful before our visit. We saw lots of deer! It was very clean. One minor suggestion might be to take some of the old furniture and lamps out of the loft and paint the beautiful wrap around deck. Overall though, it was wonderful place to stay!

We had a great stay at this cabin. The property was clean and tidy, hot tub sparkling, beautiful kitchen, very close to Arnold, enjoyed all the different seating areas outside. The house wasn’t ready at 4:00 pm. So that was a bummer waiting.

Awesome house. Lots and lots of deck space. Large and excellent living room/dining room/kitchen open floor plan for hanging out and socializing. We fit 4 adults comfortably, it could easily fit 6. Hot tub is right off the dining room. 8 minute drive to the Calaveras Big Trees entrance. We would like to stay here again, it's on the list.

The house was accomodable to my family. We arrived very late Thursday night and we were locked out of the house with 2 small children and had to drive 20 minutes the opposite way to Find a hotel to house us with a dog after driving 4.5 hours to get there and did not get to sleep until 1-2 am. We could not get ahold of the homeowner nor the property manager. They did contact us the next day and the owner gave us his personal code to get in the house which did end up working. Overall it was a nice vacation with the family we enjoyed the large patio area and the kids loved the hot tub. The home owner was nice over calls and texts, but was distant and short when we spoke in person about things that were wrong in the house. Granted we did leave about 30 minutes after our check out time.

Perfect in every way!
I am a reader of reviews, and the previous reviews, though all so positive do not even capture how magical this cabin is! We were not expecting just how lovely the outdoor space would be! There are 2 additional patios beyond the huge wrap-around deck. One is a large dining/ living room space where we ate dinner every night and then hung out playing games and laughing. Though there are neighbors, it is easy to feel like you are totally secluded in the woods. The silence, except for the wind in the trees was magical. Up the hill from this outdoor room was another small patio with lounge chairs where we enjoy star gazing nightly. My young adult children and my 12-year-old niece loved all the fun things to do in the loft. The kitchen had EVERYTHING a person could need.
