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.

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.
