The pictures don’t do justice to how beautiful this cabin is. It does not go unnoticed how much effort the host has made to ensure guests' needs are met. The balcony view was beautiful for enjoying family meals. The entire house is clean and well-maintained. So many good things to say about this cabin. We are already planning the next trip to re-book this exact cabin.

Forest View cabin has a great floor plan for our multigenerational family group. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent especially after Arnold experienced a strong snowstorm and wind event. When we arrived, the driveway was plowed and the house ready. The young children had endless fun playing in the snow in the yard.

Beautiful Cabin/Home!! We had a great stay. Pictures don’t do justice, the house is very clean and it’s very welcoming. My children loved it. Perfect house for our family and friends snow trip. We drove about 40 minutes up to the snow in bear valley. Host was amazing and got back to me very quickly if I had questions. House had everything including washer and dryer with detergent. Kitchen has everything you will need including spices. Downstairs lower level is amazing, with master bedroom and kids room with their own little hangout room attached with a tv. The view from the balcony is beautiful, while drinking a coffee in the morning taking in the fresh air!! We will definitely be back soon!! Highly recommend this home.

Really nice home!
This property was great because of its versatile function. The lower floor was perfect for all the kiddos to hang out, play video games and watch movies while the adults hanged out on the main level floor. The home was also very clean and host was amazing in providing a lot of information on activities and equipment to use that they provided. The home is also very close to downtown which made it really easy to explore and relax. We 100% recommend this home for a group big or small, there’s enough space for everyone.

Arnold Cabin
Me and my friends and Family started a tradition of going to snow or cabin for a weekend. This was our second stay in Arnold and we all loved Sandra’s property. The location was awesome. You do loose a little reception but Sandra did give a heads up before we went so o was able to have others I drove with leave it on their navigation as well. The cabin is away from neighbors with big safe parking. The cabin had more than we expected. Bunch of things that were provided that didn’t need to be. Thank you! It was super clean and we all enjoyed our stay and felt cozy and relaxed in the living room with the fireplace lit. Would recommend this property!

Lovely place to stay in Arnold.
This property was lovely. We stayed with the maximum allowed members (3 couples, 1 single, and 7 kids age 5 through 12) and everyone enjoyed themselves. It was perfect. Kids loved all the games as well as ping pong in the garage. Adults enjoyed a good puzzle after a day in the mountains. Beds were comfortable, honestly I think we could have still slept more comfortably due to how spacious it was. 10/10 would love to return and stay.
