We loved this property so much! Already planning our next trip. Was perfect for our family of 5. Not a single complaint. Everything in the chalet was awesome.

The Deer Run Chalet was perfect for our family. We went on several hikes which were amazing. This includes the big trees north grove and the Arnold Rim Trail to cougar rock, which is definitely a challenging hike but we’ll worth it. We went to Murphys several times and really enjoyed the wineries and ice cream. Not all of the wineries are top notch but by far our favorite was the Hovey Winery. The chalet was immaculately maintained and the details in the owner’s book was extremely helpful and accurate. I highly recommend Arnold and the Deer Run Chalet.

We spent a perfect Memorial Day Weekend at this lovely house. The house was perfect for our group and had about everything you could ever wish for. The girls enjoyed the air hockey table and did an impromptu tournament. This house has the best equipped kitchen of every vacation rental I have ever stayed in. Made cooking for a group of 8 a breeze. The location is very convenient and the private lake just down the road is an absolute gem! The owner (Jackie) was very responsive and super easy to deal with. If we ever come back into the area, we'd try to stay here again for sure. Highly recommended!

Our stay at the house was wonderful! The kitchen had everything we needed, including a coffee grinder. The location was great as well! The hosts were fantastic and resolved the one issue we had during our stay. We would definitely stay again!

Great vacation cabin, well stocked, comfortable.

Very well thought through cabin, has everything to fully enjoy your experience in the woods. Spacious and clean. Hosts are superb in communications. Thank you for hosting us.

My family and I thoroughly loved everyday of this trip! The house is big, clean, fun, and exciting! My kids had a blast and it gave me some time to just enjoy some pace and quiet with my husband. The highlights were the arcade table, air hockey, the b-b guns!!!! And the lake! It was a great time and the owners are very kind and flexible! I hope to visit again!

This was a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The cabin was well taken care of. All amenities were available. Game tables for kids/teens. Centrally located to lakes, grocery store, restaurants, hiking, and fishing. Great communication with owner. We will be back again!

The property owners really have thought of everything. Book it! You won’t be disappointed! We had never been to the area and loved exploring but also just loved hanging out at the house. The place has such a homey feel. Our kids loved the air hockey table and arcade games and my younger kids were so excited when they found the trains in the closet. My kids are all 3+ and I would probably be hesitant if traveling with a younger toddler because of the stairs and banister but the owners even have a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs. They really have thought of everything possible to make your stay as relaxing as possible. The master bed was very comfortable with the topper on the mattress and the jacuzzi tub was very relaxing. This was by far the best vacation rental I have stayed in and we hope to come back someday!!

This house is wonderful, and we were so happy to be back for a second visit! Not only is there lots to do at the house (air hockey, video game table, totes of toys for the kids) but it’s easy to get to Big Trees, Bear Valley, Murphy’s, and more. We love it, hoping visit #3 isn’t far away :)

Location of the cabin is perfect. Close to grocery store and shopping. Beautiful grounds with wildlife throughout the day. If your an overpacker, you might want to cut back because this cabin is STOCKED. Kitchen is stocked with much more than needed for cooking. Linens in abundance. Inside of the cabin features an open floor plan that is still cozy. More amenities then we can remember to list off. Highly recommend this place to recharge, relax, and enjoy what Arnold has to offer. Host are amazing to work with and very considerate of those they host. We will definitely try to come back as often as possible.

We stayed for 3 nights in this very beautiful, well-maintained, comfortable cabin home with so much for everyone to do, including our teenagers who loved the video game console upstairs (with over 400 games), the air hockey table in the garage, puzzles, etc. My husband and I enjoyed having a master bedroom and bathroom away from the kids, and we cooked breakfast every morning in the well-appointed kitchen, which was extremely well-equipped. The location was central to everything including Big Trees State Park, the grocery store, and restaurants. The homeowner(s) were excellent - we had great communication throughout. They were always very prompt and helpful with our inquiries, and they really care about the folks who plan to enjoy their cabin. It was a pleasure to work with them. We visited during a heatwave in the area (over 100 degrees) and were concerned about not having A/C, but the trees provided so much shade and there are fans throughout the house so we were always comfortable during our stay. We also did a load of laundry before we left, which was inside the home, super convenient, and well-stocked. That made for a nice return home with clean clothes. We definitely recommend this cabin, and look forward to our next stay!

Spacious, comfortable house in a tranquil forest. Plenty of games inside for all ages. The hosts were very welcoming and responsive to our needs.

The stay was wonderful, the house was comfortable and well appointed, everything was great. Would love to come back!

We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOs, but I have never stayed at one that was so fully stocked! We came prepared with so many items that we didn’t need (because they were already there!) From games to beach chairs to kitchen gadgets to extra pillows... and everything in-between... they had it! The house is super clean and organized, the location is central to everything (we went to White Pines Lake, Calaveras Big Trees, and Ironstone Amphitheater for a concert), the owners are friendly and very responsive... I honestly have nothing negative to say about this place. I would definitely stay there again!

Terrific facilities near beautiful Sierra lakes and hiking trails. The house is beautifully decorated, wonderful for families, and very well-equipped from cooking utensils to games. The campfire ring was great. We had lots of fun at the neighborhood lake, trying out their various swim toys, and the kids especially enjoyed their snowball fights at Lake Alpine, completely unexpected in mid-June. Thanks for making our stay so memorable.

We had a wonderful experience at this property. It was very clean and had everything we could possibly need. We loved it!!!

The house was very neat and comfortable. The hosts were super friendly and responsive. Lots of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Everyone slept well- the beds were comfy. The kids loved the video game table and the air hockey! We were lucky to have snow right out our door, and the drive to the nearest sno-park was really easy, maybe 15-20 minutes. We were happy to be able to borrow sleds from the hosts. It's a short stay from Murphys, also. That is a super cute town: lots of tasting rooms, Firewood restaurant had good family friendly food, good prices. We also popped into the local book store, the toy store and Nelson's Candy Kitchen (twice). Missed out on the cavern tour, though. Oh, well, next time! We'd love to visit during the summer. It's so beautiful and mellow out there in Arnold.

This home is really fabulous and beautifully designed. It has a great layout and was really spacious for our two families. The air hockey and old school video games were a big hit with parents and kids alike. Sledding and skiing up in Bear Valley was a blast. We all want to return in the summer to have some lake fun.

Great property, cool neighbors, loved it!!

To state this home was amazing, would simply be an understatement. Of the rental homes we've stayed at over the years, this was BY FAR the cleanest, the best stocked, and the most organized (with complete instructions on all items of house). We utilized the, included, five passes to private lake for an spectacular day on the water with fun-filled kayaks, paddleboats, cornhole, ping pong, and even rented a couple paddleboards at nearby rental store. Owners, throughout entire process, we quick to respond to questions. We had nine in our party and the home accommodated us flawlessly (large dining table was the best!!!). We will definitely be coming back to enjoy this wonderful home and area.

Everything about this stay was wonderful. Contact with the owners before our stay was helpful and courteous. The house itself is beautiful, well maintained, and VERY WELL ORGANIZED. The owners, Jackie and Mark, even took the extra step of labeling all those pesky light switches, so we knew right away which switch went to what light. The house has nice amenities and comfortable beds and pillows. It is also less than 10 minutes away from Big Trees State Park, and all that the park has to offer. We look forward to staying here again!

This place had everything a family needs to have fun on vacation. Activities were enjoyed by young adults and parents. We used the tags for Lakemont Pines access and returned in the evenings for dinner around the spacious dining room table. Would totally recommend this place to anyone vacationing around Arnold summer or winter
