Nice cabin near Big Trees State Park in Arnold
The Basecamp Arnold was exactly what we were looking for, clean, spacious and close to town to get all the necessities. Our host (Madeline) is very responsive and communicated everything ahead of time, though the direct msging system via VRBO was a bit delayed, we were able to get around by direct msging instead. The cabin is tastefully designed, great for small families and young children. I loved how they have a swinging chair installed in the attic with children play area to keep the kids busy. I also love the built in charging cables next to each bed in the attic for the easy of recharge your devices. Another plus is the built in EV charger made it easy for us electric vehicle owners. I would love to return and stay at this cabin again next time we go to Arnold~

Awesome stay!
We had a wonderful time at Basecamp. The house was very clean, and had all of the creature comforts one would need. We were thankful to have the AC for the hot days, and the fire pit and BBQ at night. We really enjoyed the home and the upgrades throughout. The house had some condiments and cooking spices in the kitchen and plenty of pots and pans. I appreciated the attention to detail with having a drawer full of flashlights and a first aid kit (thank you!). We felt really comfortable there and the kids loved all the beds on the 3rd level, and all the kid toys and games down in the basement. The house was also easy for our grandmother to get from the car to the main level and stay in one of the baths and guest rooms. The owner was easy to talk to and quick to respond. We took the SUPs out on the lake 2 days in a row and had a blast. The house is within the Blue Lake Springs area but not within walking distance to the pool. It was great to have the pool for the 4th of July because they had so many things to do from swimming, tennis, the lake, bouncy inflatable water slides and more. We enjoyed this trip and the house so we will be back.
