Cabin was cute and cozy. Tucked up in the hills a bit away from the highway. Was wonderful for our group. The only thing was the descriptions online vs contract vs what was in the binder at the cabin say different things about bedding, what's included, and a few other things. But all in all it was a nice stay, we love the area and playing in the snow!

We stay here a few times a year but love our summer stays. We BBQ and spend lazy days at the pool and lake. The space is no frills, but beds are comfy and it is a great layout for multiple families. Can't wait for our next visit

Pros:1. Good location2. The property management was very responsive regarding inquiries.3. Spacious cabin, good for multiple families.Cons:1. Dusty rooms and the kitchen was not clean. Encountered with lots of spiders and spider webs.2. Internet quality was awful. Worst internet that I have experienced compare to the other cabins I rented. The internet quality was worse on second floor as well as when multiple users try to use internet. This could be caused by old router/wireless access point which could be upgraded by owner. TV in the living room and the TVs on the bed rooms were outdated (no smart TV)4. No window blinders on some rooms.

Great cabin for a family reunion.
It was a step back in time to an 80’s style cabin. Lots of room with 4 master bedrooms and a loft upstairs with two sets of bunk beds for the kids. The cabin features two patios for relaxing and dining. A beautiful gas grill was available for us to bbq. Great location to Calaveras Big Trees and 23 miles to Lake Alpine past Bear Mountain.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Spencer Cabin. There was plenty of space for the whole family, and the location was idyllic. The huge amount of puzzles and the vintage aesthetic were both big bonusses as well. I highly recommend this cabin for anyone who wants to bring the whole family (and extended family) for a stay in the mountains. You really can't go wrong for the price.

We made the best of it, but I would not rent this cabin again. It's dark and has no deck to speak of. That said, it has plenty of bedroom space. Also there are no window coverings in the bedrooms on the second floor which made for early morning wake ups! There are TVs in all the bedrooms, but not in the living room. We were there during the world cup, and had to pile into a bedroom to watch (after we had to fix the cable connection--thank goodness we had a TV expert with us or we would have ended up in some bad bar in Arnold! ;)) Were I the owner, I would 1. build a deck along the side of the house (without a roof, which the tiny deck that's there has--we took the chairs off the deck and sat under the trees), 2. put up window coverings on the second floor, 3. open up the first floor to make it brighter (i.e., take out the wall between the kitchen and the living room with the cupboards that are mostly empty anyway, except for the gazillion puzzles--we did enjoy doing a puzzle during our stay, and 4. put a TV in the living room.

Reviewer Comments:
There were definitely things that we liked about this home. Loved that all four bedrooms had king size beds and that there was an additional bedroom with four bunk beds. The top bunks had no rails - so for the under 5 year olds that we had, top bunks were out. This is an older cabin, just what we expected, but the cabin was not clean. My grandson was finding dead bugs in the carpet. There was juice spilled on the kitchen floor (first day) and when my daughter cleaned it, the rest of the floor looked as if it had not been cleaned in weeks. I mentioned this to the management company, and there response was that the cabin is dated. Dated and dirty are two different things. When you pay for cleaning and have an extensive check list for cleaning when you leave, have to take your garbage to another town, have no linen service, and come into a dirty house - I thought cost for cleaning was a rip off. This cabin sleeps up to 12, but the dining room only seats 6 -7 and that is very tight. There is also only a very small deck and VERY small table outside - not room enough to eat together there either. The worst is that there were no blinds on the upstairs windows, so if you want to sleep in past 5:30 AM - bring a sleep mask! It was especially hard, because the room for the kids had no blinds, so the entire family was up by 5:30 - 6:00 AM every morning. Loved the Blue Lake Springs area!

Fun for the whole family - plenty of space.
Check in and out was super simple. There was a lot of space for everyone inside and outside of the cabin. I had children ages 5-17 staying with us and we had a blast. Lots of board games and puzzles in the cabinet. There are no towels at the cabin so you do have to bring your own which j was not aware of until after booking I’m sure it is mentioned somewhere in the listing but I didn’t see it and the dryer does not work which isn’t great for winter stays. The only thing I would say was dirty was behind furniture (and only found this out because my kids were playing hide and seek) all in all we had a blast the cabin was clean and we all had a blast. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was great however it could use a few updates. The stove top took forever to heat up unless you had the heat up all of the way and the dishwasher was pretty dirty on the inside. It could use some new living room furniture and better lighting. But overall was with the money for the rental.

Perfect mix of retro and modern
This cabin is lovely, in a beautiful wooded area, very spacious and cozy. You can either have a vintage experience, or you can plug in everything to have all the comforts of the modern world. My guests and I all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was room for everyone to be in a common area, yet space enough to have your privacy when needed. Would definitely return to this cute cozy abode.

So much space!
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was well appointed and had everything we needed for cooking. It was much bigger than we expected and the bunk room had plenty of space to play games and for the kids to hang out. Perfect for a couple of families with kids. It’s a great location in Arnold. The only thing that would make it better would be a patio set outside for dinning. The mattress in the master bedroom is very firm and not very comfortable but that’s what I expect in a cabin. Overall we had a great stay and enjoyed the space and location of this cabin! Definitely would come back.

The house itself was nice, but the problem was with the checking in process. We got to Arnold late and were told to just get the packet from outside the door of the realtor's office. Well the website calls the company Sierra Vacation Rentals. We drove around for over an hour looking, in the dark, trying to find Sierra Vacation Rentals. In the end, it turns out that they also go by Big Trees Realty. We finally found that location only to find that we needed a combination to get into the lockbox for the packet of info and keys. We wrote down the emergency phone number on the top, and then had to drive around town to find a pay phone since our cell phones don't work up there. At that time, we were finally definitely taken care of, and Dan was very sweet and gave us the combo and directions to the cabin (which we hadn't been able to find with GPS or Googlemaps) In the end, it worked out and we all got there, after my niece had gotten to the cabin, noticed we hadn't gotten there yet, so she went to the realtor's office,only to find that we had already gotten the packet in the meantime. So it was a real fiasco getting there, but once we were all there and settled, we had a wonderful time, and the cabin was great.

Our family stayed in the Spencer cabin for our son's wedding. We had 4 married couples and 4 kids 4 and under. The cabin was more than big enough for all of us. Not often do you get a choice of 4 king sized beds! plus more. We hosted a brunch the day after the wedding and had more than enough room for all to sit and eat. The only draw backs would be a little mold build up in the master bath upstairs, cobwebby windows and the kitchen stove really needs to be replaced. The burners do not all work properly.
