We really enjoyed staying here. The property is well maintained, and the owners have gone out of their way to make our stay a nice one. Everything was clean and new and worked perfectly. The kitchen was really well appointed, and cooking meals here was a real pleasure. The beds were nice and everyone slept well. The property is in a great location and close to the swimming lake, the town of Arnold, and in the winter it would be easy to get in and out of. Highly recommend!

Loved this property! It was so spacious that we could either be all together or have quiet time apart. Kitchen was beautiful--clean, well appointed, nice appliances.The deck was spacious and inviting--great for morning coffee. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. We had a great time on our getaway.

It was very hot and we appreciated the house's effective AC and the access it gave us to the pool and lake area, just a couple minutes drive away. Downstairs movie room was perfect for the kids and the adults loved sitting on the deck off the kitchen. Well laid out house. And we appreciated the little thoughtful things the owners left behind for our use, like hand wipes and sunscreen.

Great place, very well appointed. They’ve thought of everything. Our group of 6 was comfortable and cozy. From tv to games to ping pong to frisbee golf, kids were entertained and happy! First time checking out Bear Valley. We’ll be back!

The property was spacious and even better than pictured. We spent 2nights and loved the cabin feel yet everything was upgrades. Felt like home away from home. We had 5 adults and 4kids. They loved the bit of snow that was in the backyard and all the board games and TV room. The adults enjoyed the kitchen and living room and having coffee out on the patio.

We had an amazing time at this cabin over a stormy few days. Plenty of room for multiple families with kids and so many fun perks like popcorn machine, ping-pong, excellent wood-burning stove, games galore, AND a movie room in the basement. Plus, we had no worries about a power outage during the storm b/c the whole place is on generator backup😉. We will be back!

We have been to different cabins many times, so far, this cabin has most things you will need when you live out. We often need to run to a supermarket to buy something when we live outside, but this time, they have everything, more than what you need. We especially enjoyed the fancy coffee maker and popcorn maker. The downstairs home theater is a nice plus, especially when the weather gets rainy and you cannot go anywhere. We had a great time here, and Albert quickly replied to all my messages. And even days ago, before our trip to sent us some nice weather change reminder messages. Highly recommend it!

Nice house with great layout. A family or group of friends could make this their base of operations for exploring the area. There are games and activities to keep the kids happy. The deck is lovely to sit on and drink your morning coffee (or host your barbecue!). We had a lovely time and would go back again. Would certainly recommend it.

One of two homes selected for our annual family reunion. While I, personally, did not stay at this home, adult children and grandchildren agree the accommodations and hospitality of the place and owner’s equalled or exceeded expectations. Recommend without any reservations.

Love the house and all the different options for sleeping! We plan to come back and stay sometime in the winter. During our stay the power went out for about 24 hours but they have an amazing generator that kicked on immediately! Communication with the owner was great as well.

Our trip was a do-over 13th Birthday due to a Covid cancellation and it was excellent! This house held up to 4x 13 year old boys and 1x 9 year old little bro. The downstairs movie room is a total hit which gives them to privacy they crave. This house is roughly 40 minutes from Bear Valley which we did two days of snowboarding. This is a must stay as the house offers all the conveniences and more!

My family enjoyed the stay. The house was pretty clean and had plenty of supplies for us. Al & Michele were quick to response when needed. They sent helpful information before we come. The way to their home was easy to drive. Their house had lots of parking space. We stayed there another year and enjoyed wonderful snow, but this time there wasn't snow, so we enjoyed the beautiful weather on the deck. And then drove to the snow park which is 30 mins away. They had many snow sleds for us to borrow and that was a plus. Thank you Al and Michele

This spotless cabin, in such a great location was great for my husband, myself and 4 teenagers. We came for a weekend of skiing in Bear Valley, went for lunch in Murphys and dinner in Arnold. All are in easy distance. The cabin was very clean, had comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen and beautiful deck surrounded by trees. Perfect place to sit in the morning sun and watch a family of deer wander by. The owners we very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to return soon.

We stayed for 3 days over MLK weekend, and it was great. The house has been recently remodeled and it is very comfortable. Great kitchen with new appliances and 4 different coffee maker types ! :), new carpet all around, super comfortable beds, everything nice and clean. The owners also provide a ton of games, TVs (including a media room), toys, books, toiletries, towels, kitchen stuff. It does not feel like a cabin, more of a home actually. The deck is fantastic (even in the Winter), good privacy. And the owners are extremely welcoming and attentive. What more can one ask for?!

We booked this location, hoping to find snow during our stay. Fortunately, it snowed just before our arrival. But we would still enjoy our time even if it didn't snow because there were many things to do in the house. Our host called me the day before our trip. Because of his call, the written instructions, and the arrangements he made before the trip, almost everything went smoothly. He was very friendly that I felt like going to a friend's house. The house, kitchen items, beddings, etc., all were sparkling clean. Because there were many things, it took us a couple of days to discover the things/activities in the house. For example, my 5-yo son loved the Atari game console; we enjoyed watching animation movies with snacks in the media room or playing board games in the living room. Also, we played outside in the snow, and kids sledded in the backyard. The location of the house was perfect for our vacation. It is in a quiet neighborhood, but it is also close to a few restaurants, a coffee shop, and a grocery store (5-10 min). In addition, within 30 minutes drive, there are several sno-parks and state parks where we enjoyed our time with the kids. One downside is you have to be alert all the time if you have 1-3 years old kid(s) :) It was our best VRBO vacation, so here is my longest VRBO review. My 5-yo son liked it so much that he said, "I missed our new home" (referring to this vacation home) right after the 3-hour trip back to our home. :D

We have been trying to find some snow for a winter getaway for awhile. Not only did we get snow but we found a fabulous cabin that provided us warmth and many amenities to help us feel like we were at a home away from home. The owners were amazing and communicated better than any other VRBO property. Hope we can come back some day! Make sure in the winter you have four wheel drive or chains!

We’ve been coming up to Arnold for 17 yrs and renting. Albert (host) was very accommodating. He was extremely friendly with us about check in, any questions before hand about the property with prompt response. The house has a lot of amenities: kitchen, laundry, TV room for kids, etc. I had a boat and it was easily stored on the street in front of the house with plenty of parking on the driveway. Only complaint was the air conditioning did not reach certain parts of the house ; the master bedroom was really hot. At night we did open the windows and let the cool breeze in so we were able to cool down a bit. Also, there is no master bathroom, had to share with the upstairs bedroom. Overall, it was a very nice house to rent.

We were a group of three families and went during the MLK long weekend. The location is near Arnold , CA and half hour drive to the Bear Valley .We arrived pretty late at night and found the house beautifully covered in snow. Did spend some time finding the key box on the post but as we got in we were greeted by a spacious , beautiful and clean interior . The living and kitchen was on the 1st floor with the kitchen boasting brand new appliances. The rooms upstairs were pretty big and well decorated. There’s a room in the basement which is turned into a home theatre room and the kids really enjoyed that.There were so many board games that the kids had a hard time to choose between them. The patio was beautifully covered in snow and had a wonderful view of the woods. It also has a gas grill which we enjoyed as well. There’s a ping pong table in the garage for those who love it.We did experience a discomfort on the first night of our stay though and that was due to some kind of power failure . It got pretty cold as the heat also stopped . We tried to contact the owner but because of no power and no wifi connection (at&t phones won’t get tower) we couldn’t . Finally we had to wait for few hours before the power came back but we were already late for our morning skiing that day. We had to do it on the next day. The owner contacted and apologized for the incident.Barring that incident our overall stay was fantastic and the kids enjoyed a lot . I would definitely recommend this house foe future travelers.

Bei’s Place is a beautiful, recently remodeled home. The owner is a great communicator and has supplied his home with wonderful comfortable beds and linens, a media room with lots of movies & comfy chairs , wonderful supplies in the kitchen & bathrooms. Everywhere there are signs from the owner welcoming us, great instructions, encouraging us to feel free to use the water & snow toys, the kitchen cabinets were full of items ( popcorn, tea etc) & the signs indicated we were welcome to use these items in the well stocked pantry. Of all the VRBOs I’ve tented, this owner has gone far out of his way to accommodate & welcome guests. Thank you Al & Michelle

We really enjoyed our stay . Plenty of room and very clean. Location is perfect.

Its a beautiful home with everything that you would need for your stay. Kitchen is stocked up with everything. There are a lot of board games and the game room in basement is exceptional. My kids had a blast in game room. The bedrooms are good to fit in all and with some extra beds option it was easy for all of us to find a comfirtable place to sleep.

We had a great time. The house is really well suited for a large family. Plenty of places to sleep. It is a really clean and well decorated home. We were able to do a lot of things that were all within 10-20 minutes from the property including enjoying the snow! We highly recommend this awesome home. The owners are also very warm and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed! Even the heat was on before we arrived.

We had a great stay at Al & Michele place. They are very nice, caring, and flexible. Since the place was available, it was very kind of them to let us in early. They communicated as quick as the could in responding to our questions. Their house was nice and clean. There was 1 bed room and bath room on the first floor which was helful for my parents who couldn't walk up and down too much. All beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had enough things to cook basic meal. We were lucky: there was a lot of snow for the kids to play right in the back yard. We brought our own sleds but having extra and different kind of sleds was a very nice bonus for the kids. The neighbors are very friendly too. In short, our family had lots of fun. We highly recommend Al and Michele place to others. This is my first time in Arnold. While the drive to Arnold wasn't as beautiful as the drive to Tahoe, it was much safer and shorter drive for us coming from SJ. So I would definitely come back.

We were two families with five kids ranging from 18 months - 6 years, and the house was great. Lots of flexible sleeping arrangements (at that age the kids weren't always willing to sleep by themselves the whole night), and space for everyone to roam. There were games and toys for the various ages too! We all had a wonderful time!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was big enough to comfortably hold 2 families, and is close to the 4 freeway and the pool/lake area in Arnold. Highly recommended!

The cabin is organize and owner provided everything we need from kitchen and outdoor activities

We spent a weekend at this fantastic home in February 2018. We were two families - 4 parents and 5 kids. There was plenty of space, super comfy beds, SO MANY games. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was very clean. The owners let us arrive early on check-in day and were super helpful throughout the process. We will be back!!

We stayed during the first week of January. Since there was no snow, we spent a lot of time hanging out at the home, playing games, watching movies etc. The house is thoughtfully arranges and was perfect for the allergy sufferers in our crew. It was also very quiet upstairs, for those that want to retire to bed early while others (like teenagers) continue to stay up. There was a note and some drinks waiting for us when we arrived. You can tell the owners enjoy their place and want you to enjoy your stay too!

The owner of this house obviously takes great pride in keeping it in tip-top condition and well stocked with anything you can think of.
