Great, clean, a bit dated cabin to hang in while exploring the forest with kids and 4-legged friend. The place has everything one needs without excesses like jacuzzi or modern updates to appliances. There is no grill.

Reviewer Comments:
Our combined family of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was well equipped, very clean and had a lovely view. The neighborhood was very quiet and serene. The location is very near Calaveras Big Trees State Park and not too far from the Big Trees Market in Arnold. There are a lot of stairs (inside and out) so probably not ideal for elders or toddlers.

Great cabin, probably even better in the winter. Not quite enough windows for us, when you're in the woods one could use more natural light. The whole place feels very dark. Liked all the beds, however. Good place for a group.

The cabin was very clean and the kitchen and bathroom items were well stocked. It was a very comfortable cabin and we had a great stay! It is a very comfortable cabin and could accommodate two families very well. We had a couple of concerns that were addressed and would definitely love to stay there again!Elaine Hirose
