ski weekend
Great little cabin for a family ski weekend. We had four young kids and it was a great setup with a fenced in yard for the kids to play. Also, we really appreciated the baby gate to keep the youngest from climbing the stairs. Clean, good location, and stocked with everything we needed for the weekend.

Check in
Only complaint we would have has nothing to do with the property. It was nice and located by a meadow. But we did have a delay from getting into the house due to late cleaning. About 2 hours. We were not offered in compensation. When you are only stay the weekend that’s a long time.

Perfect Base for Exploration and Relaxation
This cabin is in the perfect location for easy access to town amenities while still feeling like you're away from it all. It was a short drive to White Pines Lake and Calaveras Big Trees and was also an easy drive to Columbia State Park . My family of 7, plus our 2 small dogs, had plenty of space for all our needs. The kids loved the small pool table and access to the meadow. Some of the pots and pans were put away dirty, probably by the previous renters, so that was a little frustrating, but not a big deal. We just washed them before cooking. Overall, it was a great place and we'd happily return again on our next visit.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay. It had all the amenities that was in the listing. The location was perfect for us and it was so quiet and peaceful. We would have liked to been able to use the BBQ but there was not enough propane. Other than that we had a great time and would stay here again.

Coffee maker didn’t pump water. My main concern was being charged high fees by Expedia and VRBO in addition to payment of advertised cost. Seems like too many fees. A refund seems in order for one of these. As it stands I will not use Expedia again due to these hidden charges.

Nice Getaway
Our family really enjoyed their stay, the lay out of the home was very open and spacious. Kitchen well stocked.. Enjoyed having a deck to sit out on. The home location was close to services ie grocery store, close to Big Trees State Park. The check out time seems a little early. The home was fairly clean except for some dusty surfaces(ie shelves in wine glass case)noted that air filter was way over due to be changed, and there was a ring around tub.

Quick weekend getaway to the snow
This property was so perfect for small families. My husband and I slept upstairs with our 2 year old and our friends had the downstairs for themselves and their 2 year old. The property was very clean. Everything worked perfectly and the location is great! It was great having a fully stocked kitchen and a big table to gather around. Also loved the collection of old Disney movies (on VHS, no less). We love visiting the Murphys/Arnold/Bear Valley area. Only complaint was lack of snow! :)

Clean and Convenient
The house was roomy and convenient to restaurants and activities. We especially liked that it was clean and well taken care of. Good selection of movies, working TVs, plenty of space, and comfortable beds. Only 2 drawbacks: 1) The house does not include access to Sequoia Woods pool as advertised. There is a $7 per person charge. 2) BBQ is very small, and the grease buildup inside kept the burner from working properly. Otherwise, it was a very nice stay and I would recommend it for small group and/or family with kids!

Cute cabin, but pictures don’t measure up to actual amenities
This cabin was very clean! It had a very well stocked kitchen, functional and clean bathrooms, a nice deck with a view of a meadow, and was in a quiet area. Although we did have internet, we did not have phone service. This was a little disappointing, and I didn’t see that listed on the description. A major problem I had was the pictures of the property showed a lake, a pool, (and I think a golf course?). We drove around for over an hour trying to find these “amenities “. We stopped at a beautiful lake, which we were pretty sure was it, only to be asked to leave because it was a private lake, NOT included in our rental. Since I had no cell service, I asked someone there if I could use their phone to call Vacasa. She was kind enough to allow that. I spoke to a woman for over 20 minutes, explaining the situation. She agreed it was false advertising and said she’d be in touch. Still waiting to hear back and our stay is over... I really wish I didn’t waste my vacation time trying to figure this out and hope something is changed so the next pets who stays here has a more pleasant experience.
