Perfect Vacation Retreat We live in Arnold and we had friends visiting from the California Central Valley but we needed more space and privacy for our guests than our home would allow. This home turned out to be the perfect getaway for our friends who loved sitting on the back deck and watching the deer come and feed each evening on the gorgeous one acre property. This home is cozy and inviting, smells great, and is clean and not overly decorated, so it provided a serene environment for our friends and us to relax and recharge. This property is conveniently close to town at the same time provides privacy in a peaceful setting. The kitchen is well stocked, so we got takeout only two nights and cooked in the rest of the time. It’s obvious that thoughtful care went into preparing this home for guests, from having laundry soap available, dog bowls, beds and toys, extra towels, blankets and pillows to having high-speed Internet and better-than-cable television. Special appreciation to the hosts for allowing us to park in the garage, for the easy access driveway, and no stairwells to climb to get into the house (us old folks really appreciated that!) for a very long and beautiful, solid wood dining table that made meals and playing games comfortable and inviting, and for beautiful views from in the house and from the deck. The hosts were extremely accommodating and kept in touch with us throughout our stay in order to ensure our comfort and satisfaction-DeeDee is simply awesome.
