This cabin was perfect for our family of 6. It had everything we needed and more! Great location, perfect to hike the Arnold rim trail, head to the snow easily, and an amazing yard for our dog and kids. The huge table was great for meals and games/ puzzles. And the coffee table that turns into a casino was a huge hit! It’s a clean, well stocked, carefully thought out home. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Arnold’s Cozy Cabin was perfect! The house is beautiful and nestled among the pines in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by the kindest neighbors. It was a convenient drive to the supermarket (less than 5 minutes), coffee shop, Big Trees, White Pines Lake, and Murphy’s were all a short drive away too, which made our stay very memorable and enjoyable. Thank you Manny and team for the wonderful stay and your responsiveness to all our needs!

Amazing home in a wonderful location

Beautiful home nestled in the woods. The home had all the amenities you could want and was in pristine condition! Our entire family enjoyed it. The location was fabulous - just a few blocks from a lovely grocery store, yet not too far away from Spicer Snow-Park and Bear Valley. Highly recommend!

We recently stayed at the cozy cabin, and it did indeed feel very cozy and homey. The home is even more beautiful in person! Even though our visit was during a rainstorm, it was still a very pleasant stay. The owner was super easy to reach and really accommodating! Just wanted to mention that some of the mattresses and pillows for my guests weren't as comfy as they expected. I slept very comfortably on the master suite mattress but wasn't a big fan of the flat pillows. We had a wonderful time staying at the cozy cabin! We're really looking forward to visiting again when it gets a little warmer. Thanks so much for having us!
