Great cabin getaway
Very spacious and comfortable place for a girlfriends' getaway....well stocked, clean, and easy access to Lake Alpine, Calveras Big Trees State Park, and Murphys. We hiked, ate well, and played cards in the evenings by the fireplace. We highly recommend it! bhi

Great host, great location
We enjoyed staying at this home in Arnold, which is close enough to walk to the brewery/restaurant, grocery store and other necessities, and a short drive to Calaveras Big Trees Park. The home is large and comfortable. The host kindly let check in early on a Saturday and was very communicative. We enjoyed playing horseshoes in the backyard. The kitchen is extremely well stocked for cooking. The blankets and linens could use a deep clean, and the yard some tidying, but we were comfortable.

Good Wines
Five of us 70 ish old gals came to Arnold to see Steve Miller at Ironstone, which was postponed, but as we had the Mountain Meadow View Retreat rented for 4 nights we came anyway and had a very great time. The floor plan worked nicely, the view of the meadow was mesmerizing and Scott has been attentive and very kind. Cleanliness was an issue for us but Scott took it seriously, apologized and even refunded our cleaning deposit.

Mountain Meadow View Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this is lovely, rustic cabin with a beautiful view. The kitchen was one of the best equipped I have used. and the large living area gives plenty of space if you have a large group. The back patio is wonderful for relaxing. We even had an unexpected visit from a bear late one night!

We loved the location of this property….it was close to a shopping center, as well as more options in Murphys. The place was cool, quiet, and had the things we needed to cook a few meals and rest after hiking and fishing nearby. We will definitely be back!

First ever cabin experience!!
We spent a couple nights at this cabin , it’s well maintained, clean and the location is very close to shopping markets , restaurants and Big Tree state park . The most convenient aspect for us was that the Tesla supercharger was very close to where we stayed so that was a huge relief!! The hosts were very responsive and we enjoyed our cabin experience!! Arnold is a great place to rent a cabin and enjoy !!

A very “chill” place in a beautiful location
Came here for three days. Spent zero time reviewing emails. Feels like a million miles away from civilization, even though everything you could need is literally five minutes away. Very good restaurants are in the adjacent shopping center. Drive up the hill to see incredible scenery. Beautiful trees. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an escape from work. Host is very responsive.

What a wonderful relaxing and fun filled weekend
I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Scott's cabin. The cabin was clean and very comfy, the location is terrific and near everything including a great grocery store. My husband and I along with our (3) kids and the dog had the best time at the cabin and playing in the snow. The kitchen has everything you need, and we were able to have all our meals there. We definitely will come again next year! Thanks, Scott, for the most enjoyable weekend!!.

Winter weekend for 3 generation family
Interior wood walls, wide windows, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings and plenty of combined space for cooking, dining and socializing well suited for all ages. Lots of board games and a small, eclectic library. Nearby is a market with quality produce and fresh foods. Our group includes a couple, grandparents, 2 youngsters and a playful dog; all were pleased with the cabin, the sequoias and snowy meadows. The owner is a flexible and good humored. We hope to return.

Great stay for visiting Big Trees and Bear Valley
The property location was really nice. It was close to the highway in Arnold. Since we visited in winter, Big Trees State Park, the Bear Valley ski and Lake Alpine snow park were the primary attractions for us.
We found the house very clean. The kitchen was well stocked. There were lots of games in the cabinet for kids. The instructions were clear and several things were labeled to help.
We didn't have phone reception near the house and it made the check-in process a bit challenging. I recommend having the check-in instructions ready before heading to the property.

Believe all the reviews!
My family & I spent Thanksgiving weekend at the cabin and had a wonderful time. It’s in a great location, close to the stores & restaurants. The kitchen was stocked with almost everything we needed (only had to bring a big roaster pan, a crockpot & a hand mixer from home). They provided lots of necessities, such as garbage bags, paper towels, hand soap, toilet paper, etc. They even provided the distilled water for the coffee pot & coffee grounds. The bedrooms were all good sized & the living area is spacious. There’s an entire cabinet with games. The owner was very friendly & quick to respond to questions. The only negative was one of the mattresses was an older sleep number & pretty uncomfortable until we softened it a lot. This cabin is a little dated, but still really nice & clean. We loved it!
