Beautiful cabin with two enclosed bedrooms
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin over President's Day weekend. We had 4 adults and 3 kids and enjoyed the pool table, kitchen, & beautiful woods (for snowball fights & sledding - brought our own sleds). In the listing, it says there are three bedrooms, but that is inaccurate. There are two enclosed bedrooms with doors, though the listing photos make it look like three. The upstairs master "bedroom" is an open loft with views to the main floor below. This means little privacy for whoever sleeps up there and waking up early when anyone else comes into the kitchen or living room area. The kitchen was well stocked, however the main silverware drawer was stuck closed because of a knife block. My husband got it open far enough to wiggle some forks & spoons out, but we never did open it. Managers responded very quickly when we told them and said they would fix it after we left. Agree with other reviews that lighting in dining area is too dim & it's unfortunate none of the windows have any shades/curtains. Enormous DVD collection in the basement, however, after spending an hour debating which movie to watch, we discovered the DVD player was broken. Management said they would fix it after we left as well, so we never got to partake of the collection and that TV didn't connect to streaming. Big bummer. The driveway is VERY steep - I would have been very worried going up or down it with snow/ice. Luckily, during our stay, it was warm and the snow had melted away.

Things that need fixing
The lighting over the dining table is too dim. The light switch for the main floor tv area did not work at all. The bannisters need to be tightened up. A couple of doors squeak. My wife suggests fluffier pillows. Could not find a broom. The top of the pool table needs to be refurbished or acquire a whole new table. These items should not have been ignored in a quality house such as that.

Great cabin for a getaway
We really liked this place. The review said the cabin is for 10 people. We were a group of 8 people, and there was enough beds for 8 people, so if you have more people in your geopu, you might need some sleeping bags or something. Other than that, you will like it too.

The place is just as described. Very family friendly with lots of board games. Great open space concept. It's tucked away in the hills and very serene. Would love to go back again.

Beautiful cabin!
We enjoyed our stay very much. We loved the big windows with beautiful views. Close to Big Trees and sledding at Bear Valley. Management was receptive to any questions/things that popped up. Would recommend!

It was a perfect place to be.except the fact that when I was searching places around and tells me that 16 miles from Leland snow place but it was a disappointingly an 1 hour and 45 minutes drive.I was disappointed to why the Expedia will tell me that.I think I deserve a compensation back despite.Thank you

Awesome stay at Arnold cabin
We were originally slated to stay in a different cabin but due to some unforeseen circumstances, Derek found us an alternate cabin which was more spacious and aptly located. Communication with the host has been a breeze. They were kind enough to provide us additional fans due to the high temperatures. The cabin had all the necessary items for cooking. Also had collection of board games and a pool table for a quick family fun time. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the cabin and we would recommend the host as well as the cabin to others.

Grandpas Dream = Awesome Fathers & Sons Water Weekend
Fantastic property, having coffee on the deck like being in a treehouse. Well appointed, everything a group needs to have an excellent stay. Communication with the property management company was excellent - we experienced absolutely no issues!
