Quick catch up with friend and trip to calaveras bug trees

Nice place in the woods. Curvy road leads to the driveway. We sat out at the picnic table until the mosquitoes chased us in. Then we sat on the comfy coach and talked and talked. Had breakfast in Arnold at Bistro Espresso and walked in the redwoods. This place was perfect for a quick getaway. Heard some dog footsteps upstairs early in the morning, but nothing excessive. Host was nice and helpful. I'd stay here again.

Comfortable short term stay

Aaron and Lynn were very friendly and communicative. The place was overall clean, but we did notice some food remains under the couch and some strands dog hair get stuck on some of our clothes. One downside was that there wasn’t a hairdryer in the unit. Perhaps there was one before and a previous guest took it. A bit tricky to find if arriving after dark, but doable if you’re careful about looking for the markings they tell you about. It was overall a comfortable two night stay for our family!

Home Away From Home

Everything about this stay was superb from the communication, to the warm in-person welcome, to the homey accommodations, provided snacks and helpful informational signage. My wife, infant, dogs and I felt right at home and nice and warm. Aaron and Lynn are incredible hosts and even brought out a child cot. We ended up using the pack and play we brought but that was still such a thoughtful and nice touch. The bed was comfy and there was plenty of blankets and comforters to use if needed. Aaron even saw us out which was sweet. Will be staying here on our way to Bear Valley in the future!p.s. Aaron is a great writer and blessed me with his debut novel ‘Out of Time’ which I actually recommend any sci-fi fans to read.

Not Worthy Of A Listing

I opted not to stay here after having such a hard time finding this place at night. The GPS lead us to a parking space in the deep woods with practically no way to communicate with the hosts. With one bar showing on our cell phone, we drove away to find a better signal and called the hosts. They were gracious and offered to drive to us and escort us. It was just too weird. If this place is that far out of range of cell service and you have to rely on the hosts that much to find it and enter it, it’s not worth it.

Quiet and peaceful

The owners were fantastic, friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond, we came with dogs and they had water bowl waiting for them. They supplied everything you could need, snacks and some drinks. Our only con, we could have done without our spider friends. But we would definitely recommend the place.

We only stayed one night, but we were so impressed with our stay at Winterfell. Our hosts paid attention to little details (stocked snack shelves; chocolates) to make sure we were comfortable and our traveling four-legger enjoyed her stay too.

restful hideaway in the trees

Great get-away from the busy Bay Area for a few days. Close to Murphy’s for shopping & restaurants. Moaning Caverns was a fun side trip. Sarafina’s was a very good restaurant in Arnold & close by. Make a reservation as they are busy.

a lovely little secret!

I hesitate to post this review as I'm afraid it will be hard to get reservations! But I have to - this little gem is absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. My daughter and I wanted to get out of the valley and found this lovely room. The hosts have thought of absolutely everything - we brought our little dog and they had food and water dishes out for her, and bags to pick up after her. They had every kind of snack imaginable, lots of games and the most comfortable bed! I'm posting this review - but don't tell anyone!! We are definitely coming back!

Wonderful convenient retreat

Comfortable economy suite, great for a short getaway. A lot of attention to details like providing flashlights, citronella candle, snacks and convenience food for your arrival. Very convenient to get to Big Trees. Quiet neighborhood. Good for early risers like us, due to house acoustics you can hear foot steps upstairs.

Awkward with little privacy

Arrived at 4 pm (earliest check in time) after plans changed from a later stated check-in time and host, in his pajamas, acted somewhat put out as he had laundry going in out unit? Found out our unit apparently housed laundry room for owner and two other rooms being rented out. Although weather turned cool before our arrival we were told by owner, contrary to the VRBO listed amenities, the A/C would NOT be set to accommodate our request if we wanted it set lower than 75 degrees (owner suggested we cancel our reservation and take the 50% penalty if we wanted the unit cooler than 75 degrees and he'd give us the other 50% if he was able to rent the unit). Both nights we stayed we loudly heard somebody walking around upstairs until the early hours of the morning and heard during the night somebody in a space next to us which we'd believed was storage and had a locked "private" door in our unit accessing such. There is no sink to wash dirty dishes, glasses or cups. There were several motion detector sensors at knee level in the unit which the owner had claimed were temperature monitors. We photographed them and confirmed they were motion detectors. After determing this it seemed like everytime we walked in the unit at night we'd hear the footsteps upstairs or noise in the space. The first morning the owner opened the garage door at 8 am and we could hear him on the other side of yet another "private" locked door in our unit and light coming in from under that door. The only "good" thing was a frig and cabinet well stocked with coffee, tea and food but closer inspection revealed more than half the "fresh" items had expired dates on them, some by months including yogurts. We did help ourselves to much of the non-expired items including most of the sweets!

5 stars my new getaway

I’m so glad I found this place. The owner is amazing , very sweet and had everything ready when we got there. The location was exactly what I wanted away from town and in the forest. The bed was very comfy , even the roll away was comfy. The layout is perfect and you can’t beat that price. We are definitely coming back.
