Good location but small home and small kitchen. Parking was an issue.

Very nice family vacation.

The Cabin was well appointed. Full stove, large fridge and a roomy dishwasher. The living room was big enough for a 5 year old to scatter stuff and not be cluttered. The beds were comfortable. Everything was very clean upon arrival. There was a big deck, but nothing to sit on. A gas grill and 3 small resin tables, that was it. That is why we did not give 5 stars.

Do NOT stay here based off the pictures and the listing! 1. It stated in the TITLE and pictures that there is a community pool. It is unavailable until Memorial weekend. When the pool finally does open it to owners only. I understand COVID restrictions but it is only if you leave the VRBO site to find mention that things are changed. We booked based on the pool alone. It should be theft to picture and list something in amenities that is unavailable. Come on, COVID has been a thing for over a year!!! Update and be good honest humans! These times are difficult and when we could finally afford a vacation it was nothing like promised! 2. There were signs of a rodent problem. Which was confirmed by the arrival of a pest control guy. 3. There was absolutely no furniture to enjoy the deck and the grill isn’t fully functional. 4. We attempted several times to communicate and we were sent very brief communication through email. None of them offering apologies or a refund of any kind. 5. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. The charge for pets seems reasonable until the tack on the “and fees” part. 6. Why didn’t we leave?? Because for as much research as I did, I could not find another unit to hold all of us and we had spent all of our vacation funds on this rip off!! I could go on and on. We are not new VRBO and have never experienced such poor customer service! We NEVER complain but this is unacceptable!

The home was a decent getaway for me, I appreciated the time away. I arrived at 9p and it took forever to find the home. The area was pitch black at night. There is a small round flat landing in front of the house at the top of the driveway just off the street. It was so black and hard to see when I got there I almost drove off the landing and over the small cliff on the other side because I could see nothing. There was no sign or anything indicating a need to stop. The driveway itself is so steep I couldn’t tell if I was meant to drive down so I stayed at the top of the landing. There is a motion light but it only stays on a short time before needing to be triggered again. The patio is extremely dirty, the furniture is also dirty and broken down, and nothing like the photos. The patio was a big selling point when I made the reservation so that was disappointing. The comforter in the bed I slept in was also quite visibily dirty and I wondered if it had been changed in between visitors. That was unsettling considering we’re in COVID times. Some of the pots could also stand to be updated. I would also strongly suggest better/more outdoor lighting. I had to take my dogs out multiple times during the night and it was very dark outside. The house phone also rang multiple times with spam calls so I turned the ringer off. Pros: quiet area, lots of space, well supplied clean kitchen, clean appliances, well-working washer and dryer Cons: driveway too steep, driveway needs signage, large stain on the carpet, patio very dirty/patio furniture broken down, comforter was not clean, pots very old/some peeling, futon cover looked dirty as well and not inviting. Overall I think this would be fine for a large family who is not fussy and just needs a decent home to stay in. For someone who wants a home with great attention to detail and extreme cleanliness this may not be the place for you.

Nice, cozy cabin in a cute neighborhood, just 30 minutes from Bear Valley and only 10 minutes from Big Trees State Park. We enjoyed our time here very much!

Overall the place is pretty amazing. The location was great and it really did come with everything you could need for a home away from home. Although I do agree that the driveway was not my favorite and I wouldn’t want to use it during the winter months with snow on the ground. When we arrived the first thing we did notice is the fact that whoever last stayed or cleaned left trash in the kitchen. This bag of trash was also leaking out onto the kitchen floor. The sheets were stained in the kids room and the second queens room. The first queen room had trash under the bed and I’m more then sure the sheets were not washed due to the fact that someone’s long hair was on the pillow covers. Overall it looked the rest of the sheets still had dog hair on them. They also left someone’s used retainer on the bedside table. The coach still had what looked like crumbs on it. For having to pay extra for cleaning I would love to know what was cleaned.

Stayed among the trees for a quick getaway. The cabin was beautiful, especially in the morning with the sunshine streaming in through the trees. Very peaceful and quiet.

Our family loved the stay, we had a great time. It is close to many fun places like Calaveras Big Trees. Everything inside was great, fun board games, interesting books, great wifi, etc. etc. However, the interior and the balcony was notibly unclean. The entrance suggests to take off shoes, however the floors stained socks with a lot of dirt. There were a few spider webs by the television. Some cushions had what seemed like white dog hair. These details are in fact important, yet they were not a sufficient reason to impede our great time!

We did have to leave a day early due to a power outage, but this does not factor into my review.

Pros:
Quiet area.
Kitchen well stocked.
Roomy
Ceiling fans in bedrooms.

Cons:
Floors in desperate need of repair, everything squeaks while walking.
No air conditioner, was a bit stuffy when 82 degrees outside.
Deck furniture unusable due to being covered in tree sap.
Upstairs beds are as hard as a rock, if you enjoy hard beds, you will be in heaven.

We almost didn’t go because of the poor air quality due to the fires. Glad we did. We stayed in most of the time to avoid the smoke. On the morning that we left, our 5 year old says that he’ll miss this cabin.

Great springboard for the region. Comfortable house. Well stocked kitchen.

The location of the cabin was great. The kitchen was well equipment and we were able to cook everything we needed. The grill was nice to have.

We had a great time. House location was beautiful. Very close to big trees. Wish we could have used the pool.

Glad to have gone. All items worked with the exception of cell service, but WiFi good, TV, dishwasher. Kitchen stocked with pots and pans etc. Plenty of towels, washcloths. A true description of small amount of shampoo/conditioner. The place could have been cleaner both inside and out; garbage outside and could not find the key to the garbage. Bit of hair in bathrooms and debris on floors but otherwise clean. Would rent again.

Spacious but cozy. Beds are really comfortable.

We loved the property and would stay again. The house was perfectly described and so nice. The only hiccup was when we arrived to check in the house wasn't clean. I didn't feel the recovery of the situation was above and beyond to make me loyal to vacasa. It was average ie ownus was on me to send pictures that it wasn't clean and I had to spend time proving it. On a good note the guy they sent was phenomenal and he cleaned around us while we were there. I did get a cleaning credit but I do feel like a bit more should have been done given severity of the miss.

very nice cabin in Camp Connell. Drive way kinda steep, and dish washer didn't work. but over all relaxing place. and used the pool down the road. very nice people there too.

This place was perfect for our family of 4. Super quiet. Location is convenient to the rec center. I’d stay here again in a minute.

Home itself was great and fit our family well. Just some communication issues and property not being as ready as we expected, i.e. no water turned on, dust covering patio, chairs and furniture that we had to clean!

Area just in amazing getaway clean nice all you need

This was our 2nd stay at the Sherwood Bear Cabin and we would definitely stay there again. It's very comfortable and cozy with the wood stove in the main room. The driveway is really steep and it was snowing a lot, but we only had 2 cars and were able to park at the top (the top of the driveway was cleared). The kitchen is well appointed and we were able to eat all of our meals there and even bake a cake. The view is lovely with all the trees. We were very happy they had 3 snow shovels which came in handy this time around.

We loved this cabin ! great location and when it snowed it was really fun to play in the woods with my kids and our dog. A great layout of the house and just very snug and cozy. We would definitely rent here again. Our only complaint was there was no axe to cut wood for the fireplace that we could find, but other than that it was all perfectly fine. Really great house for families with kids!

Place was very clean and easy to get to. The amenities were all there heat, kitchen supplies, towels, shampoo. There were a lot of bear decorations which were cute.

Pros: Great location and amazing fireplace
Neg: Car parking

The cabin was clean and cozy and kid friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
