The property was great, but air conditioning would have been a plus.

More beds than we’d expected and the young kids loved the bunk bed room. Great gathering areas in living room , kitchen and lovely deck. Two laundry areas was a bonus but were disappointed in a few things… ants , no dishcloths to wipe off tables and counters and no dustpan … only a broom! Also when you have 17 people using the toilets for 6 days and nights you need more TP than 2 rolls in each bathroom…We all loved the Calaveras State Park which is just down the road and had fun at the lumber museum in Arnold and the park in Murphys with the playground and river. Would recommend this for a large group especially!

The house was fully equipped, clean, the beds were all comfortable. Great communication with the owners before, during and after our stay. My only recommendation is some medal shovels, we had a blizzard during our stay and the shovels provided made it hard to dig the cars out. If you have any plans of building a car port to sustain the snow, that would be amazing 😊. My family and friends will definitely be coming back.

Okay and clean property. we stayed for 3 days. Owner was very responsive. But the property needs some upgrades, especially kitchen appliances and utensils. We were short of some pillows and blankets.

A few items were not as advertised and a bit disappointing, but all in all our family had a great time in the lodge. The kitchen has a lot of counter space, perfect for a large family, and a good assortment of appliances, pots and pans, etc. It is right off the highway, but the highway noise was not overly bothersome. The large deck was great for family meals and sitting in the beautiful surroundings, listening to birds and relaxing. Plenty of room for hanging out together indoors and out.

The space itself is great, many rooms lots of common areas great kitchen. However, this property was not cleaned nor linens and towels washed prior to our arrival. We arrived at 11 PM after four hours of road travel to a house that was dirty, trash not taken out and bed still with previous guests dirty linens on them. We ended up spending the next 3 to 4 hours washing linens to even be able to sleep that night. Not the way you want to start your first night of vacation . On top of a dog, reception is very spotty and not easy to communicate with host even with Wi-Fi. As I said, the location of the house itself is beautiful and the space is great but the preparation for new guests was not.

My experience renting this property was great! Had an awesome time with my family. Owner responded back to us in timely manner. Although 1 chair was kind of broken and some pool table stick were not working properly. Other than that, my experience at this rental home was awesome. Very spacious for family vacation. Inside was clean and outside patio was nice to sit and enjoy the view and breeze.

Our stay at the lodge was a great one! We had a fabulous time and all the small extras were definitely appreciated, seasonings, pots, pans, speakers, all the outside and inside sitting space was perfect for our group. Parking was fabulous.
You can definitely see all the stars in the evenings! Such a wonderful sight! Great place for larger size families.

We had a great stay with 12 adults and 4 kids under 9. The home is set up to accommodate a large group like ours. The owner was very nice and easy to work with.

The owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The kitchen set up was perfect for our families to gather, eat, drink and play all at the same time. Having 5 bathrooms was priceless too. We enjoyed the tv set up with netflix and the fireplace too. A few minor issues but nothing in comparison to all the amazing things this place offers.

This home was not prepared for emergencies. A power outage, snowed in, etc. However we gave all the information to the property owners, they took all our recommendations seriously and have plans for the future, things on order and were very receptive of our information. We had a lot of fun as a family and with a home this large able to accommodate my family of 20 people, we really did still enjoy our stay. I previously reviewed my stay as a 3 star, but with the communication from the owner after our stay, I would like to change it to a 4 star review.
The home had plenty of sleeping spaces and bathrooms to accommodate 20 people. The kitchen and seating was enough. The couch and familyroom seating was large for what we needed. There were separate spaces to go to get away from the noise. There was snow right out our front door, so even though we were snowed in and couldn't take a car somewhere, we had snow right in our front yard and could sled, build a snowman and do snow angles. It was great for the kids ages 7-15 years old. We brought games and drinks and plenty of food to keep us occupied. We had an all around great trip. Many laughs and many memories. It didn't go off without a hitch (or two or three) but as a family we made the most of it and appreciated the opportunity to stay together.
