Lovely Cabin!

The cabin was clean, well-stocked, and conveniently located to everything. Unfortunately, the weather didn't really permit us to be by the water, but we did We enjoyed our stay very much!

Great vacation getaway

This place had everything a family needs to have fun on vacation. Activities were enjoyed by young adults and parents. We used the tags for Lakemont Pines access and returned in the evenings for dinner around the spacious dining room table. Would totally recommend this place to anyone vacationing around Arnold summer or winter

Fantastic Home!

This home was absolutely wonderful. Perfect location close to town, lots of space, well appointed kitchen, large deck, etc. etc. etc. Even my 80 something year-old parents loved the place which is hard to do. Having a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor worked very well for them.

Beautiful home, great communication and awesome views!

The home is conveniently situated off Hwy 4 and in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean property, good amount of supplies to make you comfortable and LOTS of options to keep you entertained. Very spacious rooms and the games are a much added bonus. The host is awesome - prompt communication, friendly and did everything to make us feel comfortable.

Beautiful house.

Excelent house with all amenities. Perfect for families and friends. 5 minutes from grocery store and restaurants. We got a lot of rain but that didn't ruin us our stay since the house is well equiped (games, tv, internet, Ping Pong, air hockey table). We recommend it.

Great Home

We stayed at this wonderful home for the Thanksgiving holiday. The house has a large open front room and the kitchen is well outfitted. A bonus was the double oven. The bedrooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. We had a good time playing air hockey and the table pacman games were fun. We hardily recommend this home.

Arnold Family Vacation

The Deer Run Chalet was perfect for our family. We went on several hikes which were amazing. This includes the big trees north grove and the Arnold Rim Trail to cougar rock, which is definitely a challenging hike but we’ll worth it. We went to Murphys several times and really enjoyed the wineries and ice cream. Not all of the wineries are top notch but by far our favorite was the Hovey Winery. The chalet was immaculately maintained and the details in the owner’s book was extremely helpful and accurate. I highly recommend Arnold and the Deer Run Chalet.

Perfect Memorial Day Weekend

We spent a perfect Memorial Day Weekend at this lovely house. The house was perfect for our group and had about everything you could ever wish for. The girls enjoyed the air hockey table and did an impromptu tournament. This house has the best equipped kitchen of every vacation rental I have ever stayed in. Made cooking for a group of 8 a breeze. The location is very convenient and the private lake just down the road is an absolute gem! The owner (Jackie) was very responsive and super easy to deal with. If we ever come back into the area, we'd try to stay here again for sure. Highly recommended!

My favorite summer trip!

My family and I thoroughly loved everyday of this trip! The house is big, clean, fun, and exciting! My kids had a blast and it gave me some time to just enjoy some pace and quiet with my husband. The highlights were the arcade table, air hockey, the b-b guns!!!! And the lake! It was a great time and the owners are very kind and flexible! I hope to visit again!

This was a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The cabin was well taken care of. All amenities were available. Game tables for kids/teens. Centrally located to lakes, grocery store, restaurants, hiking, and fishing. Great communication with owner. We will be back again!

Such an amazing getaway

The property owners really have thought of everything. Book it! You won’t be disappointed! We had never been to the area and loved exploring but also just loved hanging out at the house. The place has such a homey feel. Our kids loved the air hockey table and arcade games and my younger kids were so excited when they found the trains in the closet. My kids are all 3+ and I would probably be hesitant if traveling with a younger toddler because of the stairs and banister but the owners even have a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs. They really have thought of everything possible to make your stay as relaxing as possible. The master bed was very comfortable with the topper on the mattress and the jacuzzi tub was very relaxing. This was by far the best vacation rental I have stayed in and we hope to come back someday!!

Another great visit!

This house is wonderful, and we were so happy to be back for a second visit! Not only is there lots to do at the house (air hockey, video game table, totes of toys for the kids) but it’s easy to get to Big Trees, Bear Valley, Murphy’s, and more. We love it, hoping visit #3 isn’t far away :)

The Honnymoon Destination of our Dreams!!

Location of the cabin is perfect. Close to grocery store and shopping. Beautiful grounds with wildlife throughout the day. If your an overpacker, you might want to cut back because this cabin is STOCKED. Kitchen is stocked with much more than needed for cooking. Linens in abundance. Inside of the cabin features an open floor plan that is still cozy. More amenities then we can remember to list off. Highly recommend this place to recharge, relax, and enjoy what Arnold has to offer. Host are amazing to work with and very considerate of those they host. We will definitely try to come back as often as possible.

Awesome Family Getaway!

We stayed for 3 nights in this very beautiful, well-maintained, comfortable cabin home with so much for everyone to do, including our teenagers who loved the video game console upstairs (with over 400 games), the air hockey table in the garage, puzzles, etc. My husband and I enjoyed having a master bedroom and bathroom away from the kids, and we cooked breakfast every morning in the well-appointed kitchen, which was extremely well-equipped. The location was central to everything including Big Trees State Park, the grocery store, and restaurants. The homeowner(s) were excellent - we had great communication throughout. They were always very prompt and helpful with our inquiries, and they really care about the folks who plan to enjoy their cabin. It was a pleasure to work with them. We visited during a heatwave in the area (over 100 degrees) and were concerned about not having A/C, but the trees provided so much shade and there are fans throughout the house so we were always comfortable during our stay. We also did a load of laundry before we left, which was inside the home, super convenient, and well-stocked. That made for a nice return home with clean clothes. We definitely recommend this cabin, and look forward to our next stay!
