Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Amanda's home! She was super communicative, the Adirondack chairs on the deck were magical to sit and look over the trees, and we enjoyed the well-stocked and cozy atmosphere! Will be back next summer!

5 Stars!

Absolutely loved our stay! The home was beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared — from the cozy linens to the fully stocked kitchen. The location was perfect: peaceful and close to everything we needed. Amanda was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything for a comfortable stay. We felt right at home and can't wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, worry-free getaway!

Very clean and inviting home with loads of privacy. Literally 6 mins from Calaveras Big Trees state park. Our family of six felt like we were staying at relative’s house. The kitchen was pristine and well stocked as well as the bathrooms. The beds were all clean and comfortable with an abundance of extra pillows and blankets as needed. Amanda was the best at responding and was such a flexible and gracious host. Overall, my family had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to highly recommend this cabin! A++!!!

Great cozy place!

We loved our stay! We had a fire in the fireplace, walked around the neighborhood, and even sledded right in the yard! The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, wifi was fast and the smart TV was great. The space was perfect for a romantic getaway and our dog loved it! Nice and secluded, very close to Arnold and all skiing/snow park activities. Will DEFINITELY be back!
