We had a great time overall! Rooms are nice size and accommodated everyone. The house was clean. We had a few maintenance issues and were able to get a reply and assistance in reasonable time. Nice experience for our family!

Thank you for the kind review. I'm glad to hear that your family had a great time and that the rooms were accommodating.

Your feedback is valuable and helps us to continue improving the experience for all our guests. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back in the future.
Huge home for our large group. Although the house was older it was clean and the bedding and towels were white and crisp. Everything in the kitchen was clean and appeared fairly new. We had 4 cars and there was plenty of room to park easily. We made a run to the landfill and that was easy. Location is ideal, endless things to do for all types of people. Make sure to stop for a hot cider and cider donut at the Red Apple fruit stand. Had a couple of questions that the host responded to immediately, completely happy with the entire stay.

Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found everything to your liking. We look forward to welcoming you back.
Great for large groups, plenty of beds and bedrooms for everyone. We enjoyed the large living room downstairs and the game room upstairs. Excellent communication with the management team. They answered all our questions prior to the trip. They also provided a binder with everything to do and eat around the area, which was really useful. There were a few of downsides, though. There was no cell reception at all (AT&T or T-Mobile), and there was also no internet/wifi at the house, due to a recent winter storm. The turn-in into the driveway is also easy to miss at night the first time coming in. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the space and our communication. Unfortunately we are at the mercy of xfinity when it comes to appointments to fix the lines brought down by a tree during the storm. We appreciate your understanding and hope to host you again in the future!
We've been renting cabins for our friend holiday gathering for 10 years and this is the best configuration for beds and bedrooms I've ever found. Its incredibly hard to find large houses that can accommodate all adults, not just a bunch of kid bunk rooms.
The beds were comfy, we loved the sunken living room, and really enjoyed the space as a whole.
3 generations enjoyed the spacious house. We had plenty of space for us to hang out in different groups appreciating the outdoor beauty. The property management team was very friendly and responded quickly to any questions. The only complaint was exterior was a little weathered looking and worn, rails were a little shaky and needed handrails in shower for disabled people like my husband who needs a walker or cane to walk. Besides those minor details everything worked out and lived up to our expectations.

Comfortable beds . Lots of space to find quiet or fun. . for kids …. Only bad … . Did not have internet access or phone service no AT@T reception. Had to drive to forest meadows to make a phone call. Even with inconvenience… we still had a lot of fun playing foos ball and air hockey. Great location . Be mindful of bears. They were near by.Would rent again .

We had a good stay at this large, well-stocked home in Arnold. It had comfortable beds and all the amenities for 3 families (each with two kids). Location was also very convenient and despite being on a main road, it was very quiet.
Unfortunately, the place wasn't as clean as it should've been. We informed management and they were apologetic, hopefully it doesn't happen to the next tenants.
Also, as goes with most cabins - the walls are very thing so bring white noise machines!

Thank you for the feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We also switched cleaning crews to prevent issues like the ones having to do with cleanliness that arose during your stay will not happen again.
My wife and I couldn't wifi until Sat. afternoon. The page with the wifi access was not in the guest binder, but by itself upstairs. Ihave a small list of things that need attention. I'm sending a note to Ceder Creek Realty. Our family had a good enjoyable time.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you faced with the Wi-Fi access information. We will review the guest binder to ensure all necessary information is readily available. We're glad to hear your family had an enjoyable stay overall, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay. We were 4 familes with 6 kids between us. The kids absolutely loved the upstairs with the pool table, air hockey and fusball. The girls loved getting to have a sleep over every night in the bunk room. The kitchen was spacious and allowed for multiple people to be in there. The only thing that would have been nice is a few extra towels and washcloths just in case kids had accidents and spills needed to be cleaned. It was also Super Bowl Sunday and the downstairs tv didn't have live tv capabilities. Thankfully, the upstairs tv did so we solved the problem. The rental company was very prompt with answers to our questions. Overall, we really enjoyed our time and we are looking forward to our next big getaway.
