I have never stayed in a place with such a great and well stocked kitchen! We had a full thanksgiving meal and didn’t need to cut any corners thanks to the set up. Space was clean, set up, and fun for our whole family. Hot tub was wonderful. We will definitely be coming back in the years to come!

The house was clean and all of the furniture was quite comfortable. We loved the kids loft space and the foosball table as well as the hot tub and my kids were very excited about the “records” (dvds) available upstairs. We really enjoyed our stay even though the snow didn’t cooperate!

Great vacation cabin

We stayed over the Fourth of July weekend and it couldn’t have been better. We were a group of 6 adults and two babies and the cabin was exactly what we needed. Plenty of room for everyone and fully stocked with all supplies. The check in process was very easy and the cabin had yummy snacks waiting for us upon our arrival. The owner was extremely gracious and quickly replied to any of our questions or needs. I would definitely give them a 5/5 and we can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Cabin in the trees!

The cabin was wonderful for our family! The kitchen was fully stocked and everything was labeled which made it easy to find things and put them back in the proper place. We enjoyed going to Big Tree's and visited 3 little lakes during our visit. Our grandson liked practicing his casting off the deck. The back yard was wonderful! We had a fabulous trip!

We loved our stay. It rained all weekend making the fireplace & hot tub wonderful amenities! Friday night we were greeted by a herd of deer in the yard that visited again Saturday evening. The kids loved the wildlife and the large selection of movies and games. The kitchen was easy to cook in and everyone felt right at home.

We loved our stay at Diana and Tony’s home! We had a group of 7 adults and stayed Friday-Sunday. Our hosts had great communication and recommendations, and the home was exactly how it is listed online. Beds were comfortable, the home was clean, and dog friendly was a huge bonus as we traveled with 2 large dogs. Everyone in our group raved about the home and we’re already talking about planning our next visit! Thank you Diana and Tony!

Our family of 5 really enjoyed this cabin. The kitchen area is nicely updated, and the bbq & jacuzzi are easily accessible from there. For Summer there’s a nice patio up a few stairs with an outdoor fireplace, heat lamp, plenty of seating and lounge area. Cabin sits North/South so you get plenty of natural sunlight. Kids loved sleeping in the loft area and playing games. Owners were responsive and helpful. Will definitely stay again!

Relaxing weekend in Arnold!

The cabin was perfect for my family of 6, plus 2 dogs. My communication with Diana and Tony was great, we arrived 2 and half hours early, Tony stopped what he was doing at work, and reset the door code for us. As far as the cabin itself, it is just like the pics, no surprises! The cabin was very clean, beds and sofa were very comfortable, and the Hot Tub was awesome!!! 5 STARS
