This property was totally clean and the posted photos are accurate. Plus the management was very thoughtful; they even turned on the A/C so the house was nicely cool before we arrived. (The weather was unusually hot). The little lake was lovely & also thoughtfully set up for small children. Our friends own a house a block away & close to Sequoia Woods, so the neighborhood is perfect for us as well! I will encourage other friends to rent this little house too! Thank you!

Overall this place was great for our family. We weren’t too familiar with the Arnold area and found that if you’re staying there to go to New Malones it is a greater distance than we would have liked but would love this place again if we want to stay closer to Arnold and do Big Trees again as well.
The one piece of feedback or clarification I will make is that it is advertised with ‘lake access’ which makes it sound as though the property is right at/near the water and it’s not. You do need to drive to access the ‘lake’ which is really small. However the home itself was cute and the space was what we needed.
I’m unclear who I was in communication with, I assume the rental mgt company- but there communication was great and Derek was very helpful!

We stayed in Arnold to see a few days at Bear Valley. The house had everything we needed and the kids loved the bunk bed set up. Our kids are small still (3,5,7 years old) so the space was just right. If there were more adults or older children it might be a little tight. We would highly recommend this house for future visits!

This is one of the only VRBOs that I have stayed in that had every single kitchen appliance and spice you could think of. It made cooking so easy. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

We booked this property to stay for our Yosemite trip even though it was 3 hrs away from Yosemite. The area was so nice and quiet at one point I was considering not going to Yosemite. The cabin is located in the redwood forest. There are couple of lakes, playground and even a golf course nearby. Grocery store is 10 minutes away. Very poor T-mobile reception but cabin's wifi was pretty fast. Inside the cabin was very cozy and equipped with everything you may need. From flashlights to hiking backpacks to helmet. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook steak, breakfast, even a cake. I also loved how Harman Kardon speaker sounded. We enjoyed our stay very much and will miss and hope we will be back soon.

Very clean, great showers, comfortable beds, air conditioners worked very well, which was great because it was hot. Beautiful setting! There were inner tubes etc. for use at the lake but the pump didn’t work to blow them up (seemed to be missing a part). The property manager told me that issue would be addressed and was very responsive when I texted with a number of questions.

We were right next door to our sister, who was hosting the Celebration of Life for husband, Ken Davis who recently passed. It was perfect - comfortable, warm and cozy! We loved our time at Squirrel Away Haven!

Cozy cabin with everything you need for a nice weekend trip. One thing I will say is the cooling systems in the rooms have lights that flash frequently which make it difficult to fall asleep. Overall a wonderful place!

Couldn’t believe how well equipped the house !
It was great!

The unit was clean. The kitchen was very well stocked with new housewares, appeared newly remodeled, and had everything we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner. It was nice to have the dish washer, too. The primary bedroom bed was very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful due to its distance from the highway and very little traffic. The wood stove was easy to use and kept the place toasty and the mini-splits worked great, too. However the blinky lights on the sides need to be covered up better for at night.

Another stay here at this wonderful house, full of amenities, comfortable, close to outdoor activities, remodeled kitchen adds a nice touch.
The only minor glitch is the blinking lites on the new AC units light up the rooms all night.
Thanks again

My family of 4, including two kids ages 6 and 9, were comfortable here over the long holiday weekend. The kids enjoyed the books and games and were comfortable in the bunk beds. The kitchen was well organized with everything needed for meal preparation. The master bed was quite firm. The heating kept us toasty. We didn't have any issues with our sensitive allergies. The place was very clean, and communication with Sierra Vacation Rentals was prompt and friendly. Thanks!

We stayed over a long weekend and took the kids up to the snow. This home was spotless, very well equipped, and was perfect for our small family group. In early February, it was close to the snowline, and lake access was wonderful.
We found it to be a great value we will be back!

Very nice cabin with lots of great amenities, like an Alexa for music while cooking and lots of games for the littles. There are even some rafts for the lake, but we didn’t need them since we had enough of our own this time! Kitchen is fully stocked and there are many fans to help cool the cabin in the evenings. The beds are very firm, so if you’re super sensitive, may want an extra blanket or two to soften them up a bit, but that’s such a small thing compared to everything else being so great! Wonderful location - we can’t wait to go back!!

Very clean and well equipped cabin. Quiet and very peaceful location, surrounded by lots of trees on property. Enjoyed use of Pinebrook Lake a short drive away. Does NOT have air conditioning, but fans helped keep it mostly bearable in 90-95 degree heat. Comfortable size for 2-5 people. Can sleep more, but crowded.

A good size cabin for our family. Kitchen is well equipped to accomodate our cooking needs during our stay. Decent amount of paper goods are provided. Great communication with the property manager. The only drawback is we were staying there during heatwave with no AC, otherwise it will be a much more enjoyable stay. Overall, it was a cute little cabin that is conveniently located near Calaveras Big Trees National Park.
