Lovely Cabin
We have stayed at a few cabins in the area, and this was the cleanest, most welcoming and comfortable of all of them! The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of games and such for the kids - and the hot tub was so relaxing. We loved how close it was to the Big Trees State Park. We look forward to booking again!!

A hidden gem in already beautiful locale
The accommodations far surpassed put expectations. Everything was top quality, and the manager, Paola, was very helpful and politely responded to our inquires. The location is as beautiful as any National or State park, simply breath taking views and environment.

Anniversary Stay
We absolutely loved our stay, the home provided us with the perfect cabin vibes we were looking for. The hosts really provide you with anything you might need during your stay so that was really appreciated. The spa is smaller than others, but still fits 2 people comfortably, we really enjoyed it. The view towards the forest was amazing! We would definitely recommend booking this place.

Beautiful views
The views are beautiful and the house is pretty well stocked. If you’re booking it because of the hot tub - it is not a true hot tub, very small (two adults barely fit) and there are no jets and no cover from rain/snow. But other than that it was a pleasant stay.

A great getaway
Arrived a little early and had a smooth check in process! The house was great, everything was as expected. Host reached out to make sure we were good, and it was a great location with great views. I'm not a morning person but I made sure to get up to watch the sunrise, and would highly recommend that! Everything was perfect and would highly recommend!!

Great cabin near Calaveras Big Trees Park
Very clean, very well-appointed & very well-stocked. I personally wouldn't want to stay there with more than 2 couples total, including myself, with a couple of kids in the bunk beds but others might find it okay. Paola was extremely responsive, friendly & helpful. On her own initiative she put 3 portable AC units in because it was gonna get very hot. Thank you again, Paola! The view is quite good, there is a telescope there -- it was a bit too hazy while we were there. I would recommend this cabin unhesitantly. Now it's not a neighborhood that I would enjoy walking around very much, but Big Trees is quite close and Arnold not far. One thing to be aware of is that the driveway is quite steep and curved. I pulled in without thinking about this but when my friends showed up they chose to back down the driveway since that was much easier than backing back up it to leave. I would not care to do this without a spotter but I guess if one went very slowly & stopped & got out to look it would be fine as long as one was working with gravity & not against it.

Family getaway
House and views were fantastic. The host was very responsive and helpful. Lots of fun things to do close by. We enjoyed our visit. The hot tub was small and soft sided - not what we were expecting.

Fantastic!
The house sat on a hill at >5k elevation the view was incredible. The house was equipped with everything you would need to be content. The beds are extremely comfortable. We will be back again-the hill would be great for snow!
