We had a wonderful experience at the cabin. Very spacious and roomy for our group. We loved the downstairs pool table. Perfect for simi large group. We have stayed in many places in the Arnold area and this ranks as one of the highest. Thank you for letting us enjoy your cabin.

This is our second time staying at this property. There are three sleeping areas, one being the master on the main floor, one upstairs and the third downstairs - ideal for multiple families, The house is located on a lovely street with low traffic. There is a new L-shaped sofa since our last stay... functional, attractive and comfy. The house is fairly well stocked. The beds all have a thin comforter (the Covid info stated no blankets). A heads up of items you might want to bring: a large fry pan (there are multiple fry pans no larger than 10"), a 9x13 pan, hairdryer and shower gel. Also, the corner of the eaves drips melting snow directly on the two steps at the entry, so be careful of ice! We like this house very much and plan to stay there again.

Had an amazing ladies weekend at this property. It was the perfect place to getaway and relax. All the amenities made this an amazing experience.

great place, will return

We really appreciated the three levels of the house. Each family group had their own floor. The decor reflected being in the mountains. We would return!

We enjoyed our stay at Timber Lodge. Great deck and spacious rooms. Just a short drive to Murphy’s for wine and champagne tasting and lunch. We attended a wedding at Ironstone Vineyards which was very convenient. A walk in the North Grove at Calaveras Big Trees is a must do!

Stayed at Big Timber Lodge and it’s a great cabin. Just don’t be fooled when you ask if they supply the wood for fireplace and they say yes. Well it’s a gas fireplace, had to call to ask how to turn it on no reply for a day. Pool table downstairs was a lot of fun times

It was perfect for our group of 5 families with infants and kids. The location was great, cabin was beautiful and clean and we were lucky enough to experience the first snow of the year. The best part of the cabin is the open floor plan where we spent most of our time. The kids played in the loft area upstairs and we were still able to hear and watch them. The house came fully equipped with clean towels and linen, and everything else we needed.Can’t wait to come back!

Big Timber Lodge is everything we expected and WAY more! My best friend and her family and our family (quite a large group!) spent Thanksgiving week together in this amazingly beautiful, spacious and cozy cabin and couldn’t have asked for me. The layout is perfect for a large group and all of our kiddos (ages 3-15) had something to do and somewhere to go each and every day. The kitchen is large and perfectly laid out to accommodate lots of cooking. We made a Thanksgiving spread and had plenty of room and a huge dining room table to sit around and eat together. We will most definitely be back!

Cabin has a great layout and is functionaly adequate, however the owners must own pets because the house is overwhelmed with pet hair, everywhere (ie carpet, bedding, etc.). Really was a turnoff considering this is a premy rental and listing said ‘no pets allowed’. Most disappointing was the property management company, Cedar Creek Realty. Their overall home instruction were lacking and resulted in several trips to the store for provisions that should have been included but were not. Also, we had cable and internet problems due to router issues that had NOTHING to do with outages with the cable provider yet all Cedar Creek Realty wanted to do was to blame on the cable company and couldn’t/wouldn’t help troubleshoot. My various conversations with them felt dismissive, condescending, inadequate, and frustrating. They’d have you believe all our issues were the result of unusually severe weather conditions, but that’s b.s. Their customer service is lacking and my experience with them will prevent me from renting one of their managed properties again.

We enjoyed the house . It was so comfortable and peaceful. There is lots of space to enjoy time. We had to leave a night early due to a snowmobile accident. The only thing I’d like more if were towels. The towels provided were one per person and it was cold so it would be nice to have two each or just some in a cabinet if needed. Go enjoy this cabin!!!

This cabin was perfect! There was plenty of space for 10 and up to 12 people to hangout and not feel cramped. Has all the modern amenities of home and still makes you feel like you in the woods. The ambiance was something everyone needs to experience. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook with. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed this place with our kids and grandkids. It had everything we could possibly need, and the location was private and quiet....we will be back! Imagine having peace and solitude over the 4th of July holidays! It was close to everything at Blue Lake Springs, yet far enough removed that we felt the solitude of being in the mountains. We did not expect air conditioning...an added plus for cooling things down a bit just around dinner and before bedtime. The pool table downstairs was fun for some while there was plenty of room elseware to do other things. The expansive deck and patio furniture were comfy, and we always found shade somewhere. Having a two-car garage and plenty of driveway was also great.

I would love to give this house a perfect score- it is huge, looks brand new, one of the most complete kitchens fully stocked (I've rented many many houses with all sorts of bizarre kitchen misses), and the deck is perfect. Also it is perfectly located to everything. However, the linen charge is absurd. Not even hand towels in the bathrooms? Just include it in the price for crying out loud. Do you really want people putting on sheets from home? I'm no expert but isn't that just asking for bed bugs? Also, you need more than two roles of TP in each bathroom when 8 people share a space for 5 days. That's not hard math. Luckily, having rented many houses before, we came prepared. Overall still highly recommend.

We stayed here with another family for our annual snow week. Plenty of room for the kids, large kitchen for preparing big meals, and a warm homey vibe throughout. The location is ideal and the lot provided plenty of outdoor fun as well. Only regret is not being able to stay longer!

We share this home with two other families for a weekend of skiing at Bear Valley. Plenty of room for everyone. Loved the downstairs bonus room for the kids and sectional around the fireplace for the adults. Easy parking in the driveway and garage for three cars.
