"This cozy little cabin is a gem amongst the trees! The beds are soft, the kitchen is well equipped and the outside seating areas are absolutely wonderful. The weather was so nice, we were barely inside! Our host was available to us and we had very good communication with her. The neighborhood is peaceful and you can take a walk around Snowshoe lake or have a picnic and wade in the water there. In general, the location is excellent -- just a few miles through Arnold to visit the majestic redwoods...
