Wonderful experience with my family.
"As a family, we've found this to be the ideal place to stay. It's so important to us to find a location that combines peace and quiet with convenient access to activities, and this spot nails it. The comfort and tranquility offered by your property made our trip all the more enjoyable. We were able to relax and unwind after a day of skiing and conveniently access nearby facilities with ease. It is clear that your commitment to providing a welcoming environment for your guests has been successful, and we commend your efforts. We love the calm atmosphere, and being close to skiing, grocery stores, and the forest makes it incredibly easy for us to plan our days. We couldn't ask for a better base for our family adventures. Book with confidence!"

Perfect 3-day weekend in Arnold!
Such a groovy stay for us at this cute green cabin in Arnold. The set up was so great for our 4 adults and 4 kids.
The beds with the animals are adorable! TBH e kids were thrilled to choose their animals upon arrival. The cabin even had a cute little star night light set up for them. They loved pushing their beds together even. ;)
The 2 adult beds were super comfortable and had everything we needed. We slept great!
The bathroom was o nice and updated. Th e best part of the entire stay was the soft water. Our whole family had noticeably better gator after bathing here! It was amazing! We all looked as if we had visited the salon. The shampoo and conditioner smelled amazing, and the lemon oil spray was such a nice touch as well.
The chairs and couch were super cozy and very nice throw blankets. We had the best time to celebrate my son’s 6th birthday together.
We would love to return to this awesome spot. Thank you Groovy Day Chalet!

Great Find and Great Location
Our stay here was fantastic. The cabin was VERY CLEAN. Which we appreciate immensely. All dishes and appliances including stove, oven, bbq, coffee maker worked well and were clean. Shower was good. Good location we visted Murphys, moaning caverns, ebbetts pass, etc and this location was great to see it all. We enjoyed the access to teh HOA Private lake. What a great place to spend the day - highly reccomend. Loved this cabin and couldn't reccomend it enough! Would stay here again
We had a great weekend at this lovely home. We loved the alternative to the “carved bear” Sierra experience. It’s close to restaurants and a great outdoor rec center. Highly recommended! We’ll likely be back.
