Very nice house
Overall it was great and a gorgeous property; however, the cleaning crew from the last time they cleaned missed a lot; there was rotting cabbage in the downstairs refrigerator, a cup left on the stairs, and what appeared to be bug eggs in the beams of the loft with a white powdery substance on the carpet below the area. The owner very quickly responded to the issues and issued us a 50% refund on the cleaning fee. the cleaning issue was not the fault of the owner, and we would rent this property again. Very close to Big Trees park and a great location. Beautiful setting and a beautiful house; very well appointed and a great setup for a family.

Family Fun
The property was perfect for us. 5 adults, kids ages 3,6,8 and 2 dogs. Plenty of room, comfortable beds, well stocked on supplies and many extras. The neighborhood is beautiful and location is close to many fun things. Once our grandkids left we noticed how quiet and serene the area was😇.

Amazing Family Vacation at Red Viking!!
My family and I here for the first time earlier this month, and I chose this house based on the phenomenal reviews - and I’m here to add another! The house is beautiful and spotless and filled with thoughtful amenities. The kitchen is well-stocked; it has all the essentials and then some! The layout is fantastic and really served as well since we brought our adult children and young grandchildren. The owners are amazing, and could not have been nicer or more considerate - a winter storm was threatening to come through on the day of our arrival, and the owners contacted me beforehand to let me know that we could come a day earlier to avoid the storm. Wow!! We had an absolutely wonderful time here and can’t wait to go back!!

Great Place To Get Away
The house is very nice and clean. There is a great deal of room for family or friends. It is dog friendly also. You can park your car in the garage and there is also snow saucers and sleds to play in the snow.The queen bed on the lower level is very comfortable with a nice memory foam topper. Everyone in my family slept very well. Its a very nice and quiet neighborhood. Big Trees near by and a few lakes and snowparks. Lots to do. Great communication with the hosts. Highly recomend if your looking to stay in the Arnold area.

Great stay at a spacious place
This place is very well cared for, and has enough space for multiple families to share it without feeling crowded. It was well appointed, clean, and in a peaceful location perfect for sky gazing. (One minor note: we had hoped to use the associate recreation facility for its pool, but the pool is only open in the summer months, though there is a lake that is accessible so the kids got to do some swimming.)

More than a great place and host
We actually “needed” very little but the beauty of the location and home seemed to go on forever! Even though directions and information are very clear, we’re a bit ancient and needed a bit of guidance and the homeowner was SO KIND and very responsive. You can bet next time we head up to Arnold for some environmental beauty we will stay here again!!!

Peaceful and spacious home
We stayed here for 4 night in August. We had a really nice visit. We loved the deck, the high ceilings and the well stocked kitchen. We thought the price was good, the communication was very easy and the neighborhood was fairly convenient to town and groceries etc. We love that they are dog friendly too. I did not use the blue springs guest card, but really enjoyed hiking at Big Trees and going to White Pines Lake (free, public, nice). I would love more outdoor furnishings - especially if you came with a group --and a hot tub under those trees would be divine, but that's just me (I live outside most of time if I can). We truly we had no issues or complaints. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and it was easy to check in, check out etc. Thanks!

Easy and relaxing stay
We enjoyed our stay. It was 2 main levels with plenty of comfortable seating on each level. We appreciated having 2 king size beds. Although we were in a neighborhood, all we could really see were trees from the living room and deck. It was nice and quiet. Wifi worked great from the cabin. David was fantastic about communication before, during and after. We would stay there again.

Functional and Comfortable home
David and Nadia were very attentive to our needs and questions. Home is comfortable and nicelty accomodated our family of 10. Would recommend to give better description of community pools/amenities and disclose that there is a $20 per person/day charge. That was a huge disappointment to our kiddos and us when we were all prepped and ready at the entrance. Not financially feasible to pay $200 for a 1-2 hr swim.
