Cozy spot, great for a family
My kids really liked the layout and looking at the books and toys. We found lots to do in the area, and the kitchen was really well equipped. We had a handful of small issues with furniture and setup, it is an older home, but the host responded quickly and positively. The listing was clear about lack of AC but that was more challenging than we expected in August due to the large windows and there was a heatwave. Would recommend for other families looking for a home base in the area.

Stayed here for 4 days with my wife and used it as a jumping off point for a backpacking trip. We spent our time here exploring the local parks, enjoying the pool, and having the occasional burger in town.

Beautiful Stay
We really enjoyed our stay! The back deck is awesome and the house is comfortable and clean. My only recommendation is that the house needs a new barbeque because the current one is a little worn out. We will return!

Wonderful Mountain Retreat
We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and had a lovely stay. The house is comfortable and well-appointed. We spent many hours relaxing on the deck, enjoying the beautiful scenery. It was very quiet and relaxing. We used the grill and had fabulous meals enjoying the view. We hope to return for a longer stay!

Love the place ! Bedding and beds were so comfortable. Gas fireplace was heated the living room and loft up nicely. One down side was that the downstairs bathroom had no heat and a really loud fan. It was too cold to take a shower. Luckily upstairs bathroom had some heat

Great Cabin!
The house was immaculate and the kitchen was better-equipped than many of the houses we've rented in Arnold. Also, the owners/managers were responsive and easy to deal with. We went in winter and appreciated that the driveway only has a slight decline -- made it much easier to get out the morning after a significant snow storm. The neighborhood was quiet, and the house looks out over a valley, so there are wonderful views from the deck. We would definitely return.

Love this place! Kind of don’t want anyone else to know about i! Only suggestion would be a curtain for the loft space, but otherwise an awesome cabin in the woods: deeply restful, peaceful, and homey.

Cozy clean corner cabin
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Pooh Corner. While my partner worked remotely, I enjoyed my time on the deck - reading, looking out into the wilderness and enjoying the birds and squirrels amongst the trees, grilling dinner, and star gazing. Aside from the noise of a neighboring home being renovated, the neighborhood is quiet, especially at night. Everything is just a quick drive away - The Big Trees, the grocery store, the ice cream parlor, White Pine Lake, etc. I look forward to returning.

Overall A Very Nice Property
The cabin is light, bright and airy and has a lovely back deck that overlooks a peaceful, dense forest with the scent of cedar. The neighborhood is quiet, the kitchen of the cabin is well-equipped and the living room furniture is very comfortable, especially the red leather couches. There are nice views out every window. I wasn't too crazy about the queen bed in the loft-- the mattress is only "marginal" --and I had to use earplugs at night because there is an intermittent creaking sound in the outside wall behind the bed--maybe the water pipes expanding and contracting?--but otherwise all was good. We definitely needed the fans provided for us upstairs. The property managers were excellent with communication, and made check-in easy.

Great space and layout for a quiet getaway
Check in process was so easy! TGlad to have cooking essentials such as dining (plates, mugs, glasses, etc) and cooking utensils (pots, pans). There were also basic spices and a waffle iron with mix available. Always a plus to minimize any trips to the store. Loved the board games available and tons of hiking resources. We were glad for the cozy space. Every year for the fourth of July, we take our dog to Arnold. The quiet is great and a getaway from the amount of fireworks in our hometown. Strongly recommend for anyone to stay over.

Nice family getaway in Calaveras
Nice house and property. Views were great and the neighborhood was very quite. The appliances and kitchen provisions could use some updating and upgrades, additions. House was clean and comfortable. One suggestion would be to change the bedsets out for the warmer weather from the heavy flannel winter sets.

Cozy winter stay
We had a great stay at the house. We arrived to a warm fireplace and music, and the rest of our stay was as smooth. Sledding in the backyard was perfect for our family. We’d read ahead of time to be careful of the railings since they are not child proof, so we were prepared for that with our little one. Communication with the property manager was easy and timely. Overall, a wonderful stay.

Lovely quiet retreat
We really like this cabin! This was our 3rd stay here and we hope to return again. While we find it very clean and comfortable here, there are a couple things we found unpleasant - 1 - the lighting, especially in the kitchen, is terrible! Most of the bulbs in the track lighting set up are burned out, and at least one of the bulbs in the living room lamps is hanging by a cord. 2 - we completely respect the requests to keep the floor clean, but it would make it much easier if there were more door mats upon which to wipe one's feet. When we arrived, there was a huge unavoidable puddle around the front door.

Great cabin and location
Excellent cabin with a ton of windows and natural light. Propane fireplace and room heaters kept us nice and cozy. The location is convenient off Hwy 4 and backs up to beautiful forest. Highly recommended. One drawback for small toddlers/infants - the gaps in the railing on the upstairs loft are quite wide and a small child could easily fall through them - just keep an eye out.
