Sukoon Retreat - EV Charging

My wife wanted to create a family “ Snow “ getaway experience for the whole family . A friend referred Arnold , Ca . As a pleasant destination and it delivered. The Dorington Realty Co . Was very helpful with updates on current developments with weather and other conditions during our travel to the property. The house conditions were perfect our family had plenty of room and the property was very nice, clean. Looking forward to our next visit.

The cabin was beautiful, super clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The game room was amazing. The location was close to Calaveras Big trees and the adorable towns of Arnold and Murphys. We highly recommend this home!

Check-in and communications were very easy and responsive. The location was nestled among the forest and so peaceful. We enjoyed the deck many times and the umbrellas were perfect and added to the ambiance. Plenty of kitchen and bathroom supplies, except we had some difficulty storing our provisions in the refrigerator/freezer and cupboards since the owner had many of their own things there.

Since we couldn't put any trash outside for fear of critters getting into it, we had to make a temp space in the entryway to minimize odors in the rest of the house. Be aware that you will need to drop off the trash and recycling at the Avery dump.

Because the weather was so hot it had a negative affect our our vacation and the fans were only minimally helpful and I seriously considered an early departure. The top level was unbearable and we could only tolerate the heat sitting on the bottom level.

There are motion lights in the driveway which three bedrooms face and when they go off at night, it is very startling. So you have to sleep with the heavy blinds drawn which didn't help with the problem of air flow.

Also, the two bedrooms on the main level contain a queen and king bed, not two kings.

Great house; loved the bonus room; we visited during a heatwave but surprisingly not too hot inside!

The mountain house was spectacular. It accommodated all of our group (originally 9 but only 6 attended). The kitchen was of sufficient size, double refrigerator w/bottom freezer. Toaster & small microwave, good selection of mixing bowls. Plenty of pots & pans (although I'm glad I brought some various sizes of frying pans). Stove & outdoor grill was very nice. The dining table handled our poker game very well. The window shades for the clerestory windows was unique! I appreciated the recliner as my back pain does not do well in a regular bed.
Game room was great w/full size billiard table!
The outdoor deck & table & chairs are very comfortable.

There is no A/C!, also no salt & pepper shakers?

I met the young cleaning lady when I returned to retrieve some shirts & told her how clean everything was & we appreciated her efforts.

We arrived just after an early April snowstorm but roads had just been cleared so we didn't need chains. Available snow shovels helped us make fast work of clearing entire driveway for multiple vehicles.
The house is clean and well-stocked. The furniture is attractive and comfortable, and since we had a group of 10 including several children we appreciated use of different levels of the house for different activities.
The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare multi-course meals for our clan.
The downstairs game room is stocked with several games and puzzles, in addition to a pool table and large screen TV for movies, etc. Its adjacent bunk area is perfect for older kids.
The location is less than 5 minutes off Highway 4 and easy to get to; the driveway is gently sloped but not steep like some nearby.
The neighborhood is very quiet and we found a lovely open area within a 10 minute walk for simple snowplay with our young children. Also, there were some trails for snowshoeing in that same area.
Because of the recent storm, the deck had about 8-10 inches of fresh snow, perfect for our kids to play in without leaving the house. By the time we left 4 days later, it had all completely melted, but it was a lovely asset the first day or two.
I highly recommend this home and we hope to return again. I think it would be lovely any time of year.

We had a fairly large group of people and this cabin was excellent! Lots of space with lots to do. We will return!

Our rental experience was great! I had to leave a thank you note on the counter top expressing our gratitude. Things were clean, just a bit of dried coffee or chocolate on the counter by the sink but not a big deal. We had issues with the coffee maker but managed. Other than that, my family loved the stay. We don't always get to go out all together as a family so this was nice. It was a bday celebration getaway for my husband, daughter n son. They enjoyed the man cave/studio. Played pool n games we had taken. I personally enjoyed the view from there. Especially the snow in th mountains. I’m originally from Chicago so this was a great treat! Time in the snow making memories & taking pictures! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home! ALL 5’stars for the questions!

The property was impeccable and all is basically new.
There are spaces for kids to play, relax and yet adults can be in the same property but separate from all the excitement
We love the view from the common areas
Looking forward to going back!
