Nice Stay at Whispering Pines

The house was clean and fairly well appointed. The kitchen was tiny. The plates and bowls were not ideal. The kitchen table chairs were in poor condition and the leather was literally disinegrating. The access to the pool was awesome - location is great. Nice to have AC as it was hot. Overall a nice place to stay.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was clean and cozy but in need of some updates. The dining room chairs were very worn to the point of falling apart. Only one dishtowel was provided for a stay of 4 days. We did have a pleasant time but with a little more attention it would have even better.

Nice Stay in a Cozy House!

We stayed in this house for three days during the Christmas break with our friends and family, totaling six people. The house was very nice and clean, and the air conditioning and heating worked very well, keeping us warm and comfortable.The neighborhood was quiet, which made it easy to relax. The house had a warm atmosphere and a pleasant smell that made it feel homey. There were also some fun games available for the whole family to play, and we enjoyed a great movie collection.The patio was lovely as well. Bear Valley Mountain Ski was only 30 minutes away, which was perfect for some winter fun. We found a Chinese restaurant close to the house, and the food was delicious.The only issue we encountered was with the refrigerator; it was freezing the food, and we unfortunately had to throw away some food. They should definitely look into fixing that.Overall, everything else was great, and we will definitely return in the summer!I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice getaway.

AC is extremely nice in these hot times!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This ended up perfect for us... a couple very minor quibbles: a) kitchen chairs are pretty tore up, b) we wished there was some regular seating for little ones at meal time c) we wished there was a king bed somewhere... but the pros far outweighed the cons: a) Air conditioning! [it was over 100 outside when we stayed] b) comfortable furniture, c) both my boys loved the foosball in the loft, d) rec center passes were a nice addition, e) your choice of firmer or softer mattresses. Overall, we'd definitely stay here again, unless we needed something for a larger group.

Kickapoo is a fantastic cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been to the Arnold area multiple times and this was by far the best. The cabin was clean and we didn't have to do anything special as far as cleaning instructions! Just clean the dishes, bag the trash and go!The cabin itself was the perfect size, we had plenty of room to spread out but cozy enough that we could easily have family time playing board games, watching a movie, and of course the family foosball tournament. The deck was perfect to have morning coffee and relax reading the news listening to the sound of the forest. This has been our favorite cabin of which I am sure we will rent again.

This place was great! I loved that there is access to a recreation center with a pool, games, basketball court, and small playground just 2 miles away. It’s great for kids. The cabin was comfortable, loved that there is AC and heat. The driveway may be a little steep but not necessarily a negative. I loved that there was a loft with 4 twin size beds, games, air hockey, and tv lounge area. The area feels peaceful; however, you’re not too isolated. I would and plan on staying here again!

Great Dog Friendly Cabin

We had a great time staying at this cabin for a mom and sun end of summer trip. We enjoyed our time visiting Alpine and White Pines Lakes and at the community swimming pool. Great are and wonderful comfy cabin! My one suggestion is cushions for the deck chairs.

Thanksgiving 2023 trip

We loved the house and property it was perfect. The house could have been a little cleaner, there were alot of spider webs and spiders must have found 8 within the first couple hours. Also could use measuremening cups in the kitchen. Other than that the house was perfect, we would happily stay there again.
