House had everything we needed and way more! The kids loved the game room and we all loved the open concept of the living area. We also appreciated the access to the pool, lake and recreational area. The communication with the hosts was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

First time in Arnold, and it did not disappoint! The cabin was in the perfect location and had everything we needed, with more than enough room for our three families. Our preteens and teens loved how convenient it was to the Natural Bridges Trail and cave, White Pines Lake, and the hiking trails at Calaveras Big Trees. After a full day of fun and exploring, coming back to relax in the jacuzzi while the kids played in the game room was the perfect way to end the day. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend!
