Perfect Dog Friendly Arnold Cabin

Comfy, Spacious, Centrally Located

The cabin was great for a family for so many reasons--and dog friendly to boot! The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and staying in, family games, tons of movies, kids books, space to play, and a spacious deck and well-fenced back yard. It is as advertised and made for an easy family trip to the snow. There are lots of things to see in the area and we'd love to come back and stay again!

Great Getaway

We loved this cute little home away from home. It was so lovely and perfect for our little pup. The entire backyard was gated and a huge meadow in the back to run and play in. WiFi works great which was a huge help since there is no cell service in the town of Arnold. We are booking this home again for sure!
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug 2024
Hi Jeanette, it's great that you love this home and the amenities this home offers. We're sorry about the inconvenience of the lack of cell service in the town. Good thing the WIFI service suffices this concern. Thank you again for this valuable information as we always welcome the opportunity to improve. We hope to have another chance to impress you on a future stay!

ski weekend

Great little cabin for a family ski weekend. We had four young kids and it was a great setup with a fenced in yard for the kids to play. Also, we really appreciated the baby gate to keep the youngest from climbing the stairs. Clean, good location, and stocked with everything we needed for the weekend.

Second Visit Still Great

My family and I visited this cabin for the second time. It's a great place for a family group, especially if you have dogs. There's an enclosed yard, a great deck, and access to an open meadow. It's close to the grocery store for convenience and also just a quick drive to Calaveras Big Trees and a great little lake for swimming and fishing. There's also air conditioning that actually works and ceiling fans, which are all so important in the hot months. The beds are very firm, which isn't really my cup of tea, but not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of if you have a very strong preference.

Beautiful Property

This rental property was cozy, immaculately clean, and enjoyable for our stay. I fortunately, the Vacasa experience was a nightmare once we reached the front door. I correct access information was emailed to us, and nobody at Vacasa was available to help us. We happen to know the owners, so we had to bother them to help us get into the rental house. After a 3 hour drive, we struggled an additional hour just to get inside.

Clean and Convenient

The house was roomy and convenient to restaurants and activities. We especially liked that it was clean and well taken care of. Good selection of movies, working TVs, plenty of space, and comfortable beds. Only 2 drawbacks: 1) The house does not include access to Sequoia Woods pool as advertised. There is a $7 per person charge. 2) BBQ is very small, and the grease buildup inside kept the burner from working properly. Otherwise, it was a very nice stay and I would recommend it for small group and/or family with kids!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay, Phil. The pool is a nearby amenity but the entrance fee is not included in this rental. We are very sorry for the misunderstanding and we will remove the photo of the pool to prevent any confusion. We hope to host you again in the future!

Perfect Base for Exploration and Relaxation

This cabin is in the perfect location for easy access to town amenities while still feeling like you're away from it all. It was a short drive to White Pines Lake and Calaveras Big Trees and was also an easy drive to Columbia State Park . My family of 7, plus our 2 small dogs, had plenty of space for all our needs. The kids loved the small pool table and access to the meadow. Some of the pots and pans were put away dirty, probably by the previous renters, so that was a little frustrating, but not a big deal. We just washed them before cooking. Overall, it was a great place and we'd happily return again on our next visit.

Check in

Only complaint we would have has nothing to do with the property. It was nice and located by a meadow. But we did have a delay from getting into the house due to late cleaning. About 2 hours. We were not offered in compensation. When you are only stay the weekend that’s a long time.

Great home with an amazing meadow!

This home had a great amount of space and was very clean. There is also a very nice fenced in backyard that isn't shown in the photos where you can let your dog out without worry. There is a larger meadow past the backyard that is amazing for your dog to run around at. Really well shaded most of the day. The air conditioning is incredibly strong. Came during a heat wave and it kept up easily with the 95 degree weather. There is a large grocery story a half mile away that is well stocked with anything you will need. The home itself had a full stocked kitchen. Overall, a great stay! Would happily come again.

Stay at Arnold

The place was great. Started off with a slow start because it was obvious the cleaning crew hadn’t been there. A tip was left out for them and the beds weren’t made. The place was extremely hot as well and took a long time to cool down. The air conditioner wouldn’t stay at the set degree. It felt as if the thermometer was being controlled by an smartphone other than that and after everything got situated it was overall a great stay. Hot at times (we were there during a heat wave) but overall the property was amazing. The backyard was great for our family and our dog. Great location to Arnold. I recommend this place to stay
