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!

Excellent cabin for a family
We stayed at the Arnold's cabin during our family trip to Bear Valley and enjoyed it very much. It's newly remodeled, very cozy, clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive and replied to our emails within an hour or two. We would definitely stay there again!
