This is a great cabin for you and your extended family. It had plenty of living space - indoors and out. It was easy to get to, but make sure you setup your GPS before - T-Mobile had no cell service in the area, except for a certain spot a few blocks away from the house. The house is easily accessible for those with minor mobility issues. 70yr old was able to get around with a cane. Everything is on the main floor except the 2nd master and two other bedrooms. Only one stair to get from the driveway into the house. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of everything you would typically need and even had ziploc bags, spices and other little things you can appreciate. Owner was very responsive when a breaker tripped in the kitchen - they were able to guide us to reset it easily. Plenty of towels were provided and there was access to a washer/dryer inside which was great. BBQ was hard-plumbed (turn on the valve coming out of the deck for gas) and had bbq tools available. Neighborhood is nice and quiet - kids were able to ride bikes in the court. Looking out from the back deck, we saw deer each day. No garage access, which would be inconvenient in the winter. The beds are all pretty uncomfortable. The kids didn’t mind, but the adults all felt it.

Home was accommodating for our group. Kitchen well stocked and organized. Nice deck and patio furniture. 2 living rooms, both very comfortable. Upstairs had air in each room, temperature was comfortable. Nice bedding and towels. Only negative was the beds could have been more comfortable and downstairs air conditioner didn’t keep kitchen, living rooms, master bedroom and bunk/game room cool. Several fans provide, however very loud.. and still hot downstairs. Great size for our group of 12. Would rent again however at a cooler time of the year.

Our whole family of 14+ a baby stayed 4 nights and it was fabulous. Close to the Calaveras Big Trees, caverns, and a wonderful public lake. A huge roomy log cabin and huge deck where the whole family could spread out, barbecue, eat, and play ping pong. We loved it.

Annual family trip, this time to the mountains. There were 12 of us, ages 1-84. This cabin was perfect for all of us. Spacious inside and large deck. Host supplied everything needed to have a good trip. Comfy beds and great appliances. Contact was responsive and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay!

We stayed for a week at this property and highly recommend it. The house is very large and has two living rooms which was nice for those who wanted to watch t.v. vs. have a conversation/read a book. We had 4 kids with us (ages 1.5 - 8) and they really enjoyed playing outside on the large deck. We also utilized the Blue Lake Springs guest pass everyday. We tried to go to the pool using the country club guest pass, but were told the member needed to be with us. The Blue Lake Springs pool was great though and we enjoyed the Fly-in Acres lake. The kitchen is fully stocked and all new appliances. We will return if we have another trip to Arnold!

This home was an absolute gem. There were five couples and there was plenty of room for all of us to visit, eat together an cook together but also with two separate living areas, there was also room for those who wanted to watch TV to do so without bothering those who preferred to read or engage in quiet conversation. Everyone agreed that this exceeded our expectations in just about every way. Some of us brought pots, pans, knives and other household equipment with us and most of it stayed in our cars, as the house was very well equipped with just about every piece of cooking equipment and utensils that you could need. And the local property contact -- April -- was terrific, too. I had asked her a week or so before our arrival if she would take a picture of the pantry staples that were already there (sugar, salt, pepper, etc.) so we wouldn't have to bring or buy things for the trip that were already there. She gladly obliged, which was very helpful, too. The spring weather was unseasonably cold until the last day, so we didn't get to enjoy the deck, but if it was more spring-like, that would have given us yet another place to mingle and enjoy the trees, birds and mountain air.

We have been renting cabins in this area for the last few years. This is by far the best one we’ve stayed at. Very clean with lots of room. Only critique would be there was no propane tank for the BBQ.

We would definitely like to stay here again. April was very responsive to any requests.

Lots of room with a large deck, this home provided our family with a great place for our vacation.

This home is an absolutely incredible and beautiful log cabin. Fully stocked with all cooking essentials. Things are labeled so you can find them and put them back easily. The communication between the property manager and the owners was top-notch and very professional. The house is very clean and tidy the beds were extremely comfortable. Central AC was amazing to have in the summer. Huge deck area where kids could run around and play. We had two families there with two 4-year-olds and (1) 18-month and (1)10-month and there was no issues at all. Will definitely be booking this place again next year.

This house was amazing! Our family had a wondering time here.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean, organized and very spacious.

Such an awesome place nestled right in the big trees of Arnold! Lovely old cabin with modern additions and upgrades. Lots of space, GREAT vibe. Note that in COVID times, renters will NOT be welcome at the Country Club, pools, or lakes associated with this property. We tried them all and were turned away...

5 stars.

We enjoyed the large outdoor deck for dining and hanging out. We were surrounded by trees and it felt very peaceful and private.The only thing we were unclear on is that we would not have access to the garage. Not sure if this is in the listing.

We truly enjoyed our time at this massive cabin! Got our three families fabulously. Kids family room. Adult living room. We all had our own space. Would definitely rent again!

This cabin is great for a multi-family stay. We had plenty of space to enjoy each other’s company for meals and board games and to split up into separate groups of teens and parents when desired. It’s really comfortable and unlike many rentals, has enough cookware to prepare large family meals.

What a fantastic house! Great layout for our large group including an amazing outdoor space on the deck with plenty of room and seating. It’s fully stocked for preparing big meals at home and the ping pong and foosball tables were a huge hit with the kids.

Bear Paw Cabin was wonderful. We had a group of 14 of us, and the place is so big that we never felt crowded. Lots of space for everyone to do their thing. Well stocked kitchen!

This is a beautiful, spacious log house, with excellent amenities. The most well-stocked kitchen I've ever seen at a rental. We had 12 people in our group, and this house had plenty of room for all. On the lovely, huge deck there is nice furniture and a Ping-Pong table.

10 adults stayed at the cabin with the goal of seeing Redwoods and traveling to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. We loved the cabin. Beds were comfortable, amenities were great, we loved the deck, and the cable on U of M football day! Overall the area is beautiful and the cabin was wonderful and comfortable.

Stayed at this spacious house for a ski getaway. We were three families—5 adults and 5 kids (9, 10, and three 12- year old boys). There was more than enough space for everyone to stretch out comfortably. The kids loved their bunk room and the adults enjoyed having their own living room space to hang out separately in the evenings. Well-stocked kitchen. We prepared two meals over the weekend and we had pretty much everything we needed. Beautiful home with very nice and cozy decor. I bet this place would be fabulous in the summertime too! Great neighborhood but it is quite tucked in from the main road (hwy 4). Still an easy drive up to Bear Valley.
