A little confusing getting from the main road into the property but directions given were great. Cozy cabin with room for more people than I had. Perfect to get away and disconnect from the world. No cell service but WiFi worked great.
Our overall trip was wonderful. We appreciated the coziness of the cabin and the surrounding property. Our kids loved walking around with our dog. We took advantage of Big Trees State Park as we as the brewery.
We loved our stay at Robin's cabin. It's well loved and lived, which makes homey and cozy. Definitely not one of those sterile vacation rentals, where you feel right away, the owners are not using their own place. Yes, the carpet could have been cleaner, especially next to the fire place.We loved the discovery of the forrest trail to walk our dog, just a few steps up the road.
Despite no TV which wasnât necessary this place rally grows on you over time. The kids loved it and the host, Robin was super friendly and accommodating. Unlike other rentals â this home is lived in by the hosts so their personal touch and 60s flare is on filial display. We had a great time! Keep in mind, the stairs are quite long to get to the main door and there are stairs of course to the loft so if thatâs an issue this might not be the place for you. Otherwise, soak up the chill, warm, groovy vibes ingrained in the home and enjoy!
Dark photos hid things like carpet padding coming out from the floor in the upstairs bathroom and a very dusty and very lived in space. This felt like I was in someone else's space a bit too much. Pots and pans had many caked on stains and grime so we microwaved everything and ended up buying paper towels and paper plates.
I really enjoy the house, The only thing that I would change would be to take more of the personal belongings off the side tables where people sit and next to the bed. put those away because it was hard to put a soda or glass of water. I felt like I was intruding on the space but I really liked it overall. Would recommend if you want to unplug from electronics.
We had a lovely time in this retro cabin for the weekend! Nice accommodations, comfortable beds, nice area with lots to do. Host was excellent about communication and suggestions about the area.
We had a lovely time in Arnold. The lakes, we went to three, we all beautiful and with such warm temps, the water felt great. The cabin truly is right out of the 1970's but everything is clean and well kept - it's a trip and took me straight back to my childhood memories.
Our son and dog both had so much fun running through the woods, splashing in the lakes and enjoying the stars!
Thank you Robin for a great stay!!
We loved our stay here! Full of nostalgia, especially if you were a kid in the 70âs to 80âs. My 8 year old was intrigued with the decor and throwback technology. Of course, the WiFi works great and there are plenty of outlets for your devices. Amazing location, communicative hosts, comfy beds, wood burning stove, and even a babbling brook runs byâŠ
Was a great location and had a "homey" feel to it. Close to Bear Valley Ski Resort too. Great communication with the property manager and very accommodating :)
What a nice cabin to spend a weekend. Wooded surroundings, comfy beds, great vibe to the cabin. All four of us (adults) enjoyed the laid back feel and the sense of quiet. Away from the highway, but not too far over well maintained and plowed roads from Highway 4. The dogs thought it was a great place too. Everything worked & plenty of hot water. Highly recommend this cabin!
Nice, cozy SO QUIET AND PEACEFUL. Cabin has everything you need to have a relaxing getaway. Great trails close by for exploring and a short drive away from the grocery store and restaurants.
We had such a great weekend at this cabin. It is in a quiet part of Blue Lake Springs and is cozy and comfortable. Itâs less than five minutes to the rec center and our kids had the best time in the pool. Our doggo was super happy there too. Would definitely love to rent again.
This house is in a great neighborhood. It is very peaceful and centrally located to both Arnold and Bear Valley. The owners are very responsive and gave us very useful information.
Easy communication with owners. The cabin had a awesome wood burning fireplace. We had so much fun playing board games around it. Nice to get away from TV, computers and technology.
Robin is a San Francisco Bay Area Native who is a professional violinist in San Francisco. Went to Berkeley High School and U. C. Berkeley. Cliff was raised in Mississippi and the Bay Area. We love the mountains and everything they have to offer: to swim, to hike, to listen to music, to relax.
We always loved enjoying the Arnold area, first renting a friend's cabin, then buying our own. It's a true cabin: no drywall, all tongue-in-groove pine, wood beams, and walnut paneling. We love vintage furnishings, everything was procured for the cabin to fit the groovy late 60's- early 70's decor.
We have the only year-round stream in Blue Lake Springs running on the edge of our property - Moran Creek. The forest surrounding the cabin is filled with Incense Cedar, White Fir, Douglas Fir, Black Oak, Dogwoods, Alders lining Moran Creek and mountain lilacs.
