Family-friendly place close to the state park!

The place itself was very clean and cozy. The location was perfect because we wanted to spend time at the state park. We are giving extra points to this place because it was super baby friendly! There were toys and a high chair (not something we had expected!) We also enjoyed the books and it simply was an amazing getaway with friends and family!

Perfect Family Getaway

This cabin in the woods was ideal for our family to unwind and reconnect with each other and nature. There is ample living space for relaxing, cooking and playing, plus the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The space is clean and well stocked with everything you need for a restful time away from the daily grind. I highly recommend you check it out!

Memorial Day with a toddler!

Stayed over Memorial Day with our two year old. The cabin was super modern, felt private, super clean, and well appointed with amenities.Maybe one of the best vacation rentals we’ve stayed at. The Kitchen was stocked with tons of equipment for your stay. We spent a lot of time in the loft lounging, reading books and playing. The only thing I would say we would have liked was a baby gate for the stairs. Our toddler spent a lot of time going up and down the stairs and it got kind of tiring! Overall highly recommend a stay!

Great place for a family

The property was nice and spacious for our family (2 adults, 2 kids and dog). It’s very well equipped, kitchen has great amenities. Using the narrow driveway with our truck was tricky but we managed. The biggest complaint was the fact that the house was dirty when we arrived. It took me a bit to contact the property manager and get someone to come and clean the place. We couldn’t really use the house for several hours until the cleaning crew arrived and completed the cleaning and setup of the house.Another complaint I have - don’t ask your guests to strip the beds and start the laundry when the check out is at 10am.

Cute high quality cabin

This small cabin is finished beautifully and every detail well thought out. It's helpful that both beds were king size for us and our teenagers. (The tall one did hit the A frames occasionally.) Glad we could take our small dog. Vacasa continues to forget things and not rep their diligent owners who made it right. Thank you! Wished for another fry pan and a griddle. Loved the wood craftsmanship. The location is very central between Arnold and Bear Valley areas with all the lakes and big trees park. Would come here again.
