This property was totally clean and the posted photos are accurate. Plus the management was very thoughtful; they even turned on the A/C so the house was nicely cool before we arrived. (The weather was unusually hot). The little lake was lovely & also thoughtfully set up for small children. Our friends own a house a block away & close to Sequoia Woods, so the neighborhood is perfect for us as well! I will encourage other friends to rent this little house too! Thank you!

We visited for three nights to ski at Bear Valley. We had never been to Arnold before and we loved it. The house is perfectly suited for a family and my kids loved the bunk beds. Our kids are 3, 5, and 7 years old. I would say that older kids may find the accommodations a bit tight. But for a younger family it’s perfect. We would highly recommend and hope to visit next time in the summer.

This is one of the only VRBOs that I have stayed in that had every single kitchen appliance and spice you could think of. It made cooking so easy. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Squirrel Away Haven Cabin. Arnold is a nice city. We were in love with the Giant Sequoias at Calaveras State Park, and we also went to Railtown 1897, where my son had a great time seeing the trains. All the family enjoyed snow around the Bear Valley Co. We missed the caves close to Arnold, and want to return and stay at the same place. The cabin is spotless, and the kitchen is well-equipped. We left wishing to stay longer. We had a memorable Christmas.

We were right next door to our sister, who was hosting the Celebration of Life for husband, Ken Davis who recently passed. It was perfect - comfortable, warm and cozy! We loved our time at Squirrel Away Haven!

My family of 4, including two kids ages 6 and 9, were comfortable here over the long holiday weekend. The kids enjoyed the books and games and were comfortable in the bunk beds. The kitchen was well organized with everything needed for meal preparation. The master bed was quite firm. The heating kept us toasty. We didn't have any issues with our sensitive allergies. The place was very clean, and communication with Sierra Vacation Rentals was prompt and friendly. Thanks!

Very quiet and peaceful area, comfortable and clean cabin, included use of nearby Pinebrook lake, Property manager was very responsive to questions. Was more than ample room for 2 of us, and would be comfortable for 2-3 more. But 8 people would be tight fit. Loved the well treed lot and privacy. Would stay there again and recommend to friends. Be aware there is NO air conditioning and it was in the 90’s while we were there. Ceiling fans and standing room fans did make it bearable, if all windows were closed up early.

Cabin was clean, organized, comfortable, and in a peaceful place. My kids binge-watched a few Netflix shows and there were fun games and legos to keep them very happy. We loved the close proximity to some amazing hiking trails and the local swimming hole was amazing. We may make this an annual tradition.
