This is the perfect place for you to get away from it all and enjoy the finer things the outdoors has to offer like hiking, skiing, and even wine tasting if you're so inclined. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet, secluded, and friendly while being close enough to all the things you want to do in the area. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

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!

Great amenities! The BBQ is the bomb. The lake is small so excellent for kids and relaxing time from parents. Lovely environment and amazing vibe! We relaxed and enjoyed this place.

Our stay went so well and the cabin was very nicely decorated and comfortable and convenient. We got help from the managers. We would stay there again.

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.

Nice location and clean. Beds were not very comfortable and could have used more blankets. Beds were also very bouncy. Nice living room for gathering with family around the beautiful fireplace. There was a well-supplied kitchen with many utensils. Good neighborhood.

Cabin is beautiful, the setting is fantastic. Very private and at the end of a cul de sac so very little traffic. Very quiet. Fairly well appointed. Could use another baking dish. The only downside is that there are 25 steps down to the front door.

My family & I absolutely loved this cabin! It is beautiful inside and out. Loved how cabin like it is and it is in a beautiful location surrounded my trees. It was our first time in the snow and we loved it. Had a great time playing UNO and watching the fireplace. Thank you!

The house is lovely and easy to find. We were comfortable on the deck. For a house that sleeps so many people, it would be very nice to have more than a couch and two beanbag chairs in the great room. Older people have a hard time getting up out of beanbags. The kitchen is well equipped, however, it seemed so wasteful to have to use paper towels to dry our hands and drying dishes with them is impossible. Supplying a few kitchen towels would be a good thing. It was very quiet at night, perfect for sleeping. The stairs down to the house are steep and difficult for elderly people. Impossible for disabled people.

We really enjoyed our stay. Nice place with great privacy.

A nice cabin, well maintained and in a great location. The area was quiet and serene. It is located just minutes from the Big Trees State Park. The walk through the park is magnificent.

This rental was very nice. Spacious and roomy for the family. The kitchen was well supplied with what was needed, also neat and clean. The three bedrooms with the two bathrooms worked out great! The outside deck was cozy and refreshing. A big bonus we all loved was the wild life that came thru the grounds each evening. Quite a few deer with fawns and even a couple of young bucks. A very restful and quiet place.

We had a wonderful weekend stay in June. Loved this vacation home - lots of space and beautiful deck! Only negative was no AC, and it was in the 90’s during the day.

We loved the location and the great views. Beautiful neighborhood!

We enjoyed the peaceful views of the trees from this quiet location on a cul de sac. The cabin was very clean and in great condition and the property managers were easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a beautiful cabin located on a quiet cul-de-sac, and had a beautiful wood-burning fireplace! We had such a lovely time! The cabin was clean and had beautiful touches in lots of storage, we will definitely be back!

The cabin spacious and lovely with plenty of distance from neighbors, as advertised. Our only concerns were that the kitchen supplies were limited: no sharped knives, no can opener and few serving bowls. The garbage was full from the last occupants. There was very little toilet paper & only a third of a roll of paper towels.

Lovely house in good condition. Great window and fireplace framing forest view. Easy to get to sledding and the grocery store. Very quiet neighborhood, at most you’ll see some people walking dogs around.

The house was wonderful, as described, and very clean. The back deck was especially peaceful, amazing view of the stars. For those that like to get out Calaveras Big Trees park is only a couple scenic miles up the road, also a great tavern that way called The Lube Room (keep it PG people ;) with delicious burgers and a great outside back area set up for live music. A couple miles before the cabin there is also the Snowshoe Brewery, also fun and great food. This cabin is abundant on privacy, relaxation, and great views. Sheila is very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. Would highly recommend.

The property was beautiful, clean, and in a great location. Lots of walks through the neighborhood. About 25 min to Bear Valley Resort/Ski area.

The house was great, warm and welcoming. Perfect location to be out in the woods and play in the snow. The kitchen was missing a few basic items such as a spatula, second knife, second cutting board, measuring spoons and a measuring cup. Overall the house was very relaxing and well kept.

We enjoy this great and spacious cabin

Cabin was perfect. It is close to our cabin. We have a big family gathering every President's day and family has grown too larger for our cabin. This works well for sleeping and getting little ones naps/to bed away from all the activity.

We had a great experience. It was our first time visiting thr big trees area. There were a lot of things to do that we didn't get to do.
The property fit our needs and had everything we needed. The prior communication was great as far as what to expect. There were a lot of family activities at the property itself that we enjoyed. The beds were comfortable and everything was provided, linnens, blankets and pillows. The bathrooms were clean and we had plenty of towels and tp, tissues etc. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics and had plastic bags and foil, basic spices and some cooking oil.
The cons for us was there is no air conditioning. It got a bit uncomfortable.The house itself was clean, but could use a deep clean. I noticed a few places that could use some attention window sill in the upstairs bathroom had some dead bugs, cobwebs and spiders, baseboards were dusty, window screens were dirty. Everything else was great as far as cleanliness. There was a lot of sap on the deck and grounds. There was sap on the steps it seems like the property could use some tree work.
Our family thought that the main couch was not very comfortable. And some of the games needed some attention. The air hocky table needs a new puck and the table itself has a piece of paneling that needs to be glued down. The ping pong net had a piece broken off and wasn't easy to clamp on and could be replaced. It worked well enough and we still had fun with it. We knew the hot tub was out of service before we arrived but it would have been nice to have.
All in all we had a really fun time. This was a great property. I would return but maybe when the weather was cooler we were there in August and the temps were in the 90s it would be fine if it was even in the 80s

We all had a great time but wish it was a little cooler

We use it as an overflow sleeping quarters from our cabin for a big family get together. It is perfect.

We had a very comfortable time. The house is designed for a family atmosphere. Very good attention from the managers.

Worked for what we needed.

We love the location and the home is very comfortable!

We had a great time! Wonderful cabin. Clean. Fun and comfortable for the whole family. We had four adults and children ages 2 to 10. It was close to the lake, and close to the sequoias.

House has a very comfortable layout for 2 families of 4, with 5 BR, and 2 full baths. The downstairs area was great for hanging as a big group with adequate seating for meals, with a breakfast nook also. House has cable tc, wifi, and phone. Cell service sketchy in the mountains. There is a huge deck, and a nice area outside. Thsi is a nice place to stoke a fire and relax!

we loved our stay at the karock cabin. it was very comfortable and well supplied. it was perfect place for our whole family.

We had a great time staying in this house. The house is equipped with what we needed, clean, spacious and great location to the stores, lakes and close to Calaveras state park. The owner is responsive and easy to communicate. Beautiful neighborhood with lots of trees around the place. Everyone enjoyed and we had a great time relaxing. Highly recommending to anyone thinking of staying here!

This house was great. Even in this remote location, the wifi worked fine. The trees leave a lot of sap everywhere, so there was a note requesting that we not wear shoes inside the house. It would have been nice to know in advance to bring slippers for inside the house.

It was a perfect home for this trip. There were 5 of us, all us us were able to have
separate rooms which was nice. The home was clean and well outfitted. The hot tub was very nice.
The only complaint was none of the beds had sheets on them on arrival. That bothered a few of the ladies in our group. They requested the sheets be removed and folded at the foot of each bed. Over all experience 5***

Arrived with 12 inches of snow coming down. Cozy but large cabin, nicely fit our 7 adults and 3 kids for 4 nights. Quarter mile walk to access trail into Big Trees and nice spots for sledding. Hot tub an added plus on the covered patio.

Our family usually rents a house at Lake Tahoe. (Not the same house every year.) This year we decided to change the scenery, but the trees and the homes look like those around Lake Tahoe. And that's OK. We spent one day at White Pines Lake and another on a pontoon boat on New Melones Lake. Both lakes are reasonably close to Karock Cabin. At the cabin we enjoyed great meals, lots of music--we brought our guitars and a keyboard--and plenty of laughter. The cabin was perfect for us and I hope many other families will enjoy staying there. Special thanks to Maureen (Mo) and Anne.
