Thank you for letting us use your home in Arnold. We had a family wedding in Murphys and the location was perfect. The house had everything we needed for a family of 6 adults and 5 kids. Well equipped kitchen and filled with toys for the kids. We had a great time and hope to return again. You were more than pleasant to deal with and I felt like we were friends not just renters. Thanks again for everything.

We just spent 4 days in this lovely home - what a great setting for a winter get-away. The A+ accommodations were perfect and more than comfortable. We have rented many vacation homes in the past but have never been in one with a kitchen supplied like this one. What a pleasure it was to find every utensil, bowl, pan and dish we could possibly need.

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We look forward to another visit perhaps in the summer.

We had a wonderful stay at the big trees house! We stayed there in early December with another family (4 adults, 4 young kids) and found it to be the perfect house. There was a big snowfall while there and the kids loved playing outside in the snow and using a couple sleds that were already at the house. Inside it couldn't be better with the big playroom/kids room downstairs, 2 adult rooms upstairs, and an open kitchen and big game area upstairs. Just a great layout for a family stay.

As others have said the kitchen was well stocked with all the little things you need(a good thing too since we were snowed in for 2 days!) Finally, the location was wonderful. A great setting in the woods, but right up the street from Arnold where you can grab some groceries or a bite to eat.

Thanks again, we definitely hope to be back soon!

We have stayed in this home once in the summer and once in the winter. It is one of the best vacation rentals I have rented because of the following:
--the owners are delightful to deal with and they are very considerate;
--the house is immaculate and stocked with everything a family with children could need and the kitchen especially is well stocked with nice glasses, cookware and even a kitchen aid mixer;
--everything is comfortable and tastefully decorated;
---the pool and lake in the community association are great for kids;
--the town of Murphys is adorable and great for people who care about food and wine
It's a great place to vacation!

Our family (3 children under 6) stayed here twice this past year (winter and summer). Both times were great! The kids love all of the outdoor activities and love having their "own" large play room in the house. The house is very accommodating and comfortable, especially for families. It has everything you would need and more for a great get-away. I would highly recommend staying here.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your rental home with us. It was such an easy vacation with a two and a four year old, as your home is so child friendly and safe. The weather in Arnold in August was perfect and we spent much of our week lounging around the pool and swimming in the lake at the Snowflake Lodge. The amenities there were stellar and it was a safe and wonderful environment for our kids. We also took advantage of having my mom with us and we had a date night at ā€œVā€ restaurant, which was truly amazing. Murphys is such a wonderful little town with fantastic food, wine tasting and a park for the kids! I also want to mention our trip to Columbia, which was great fun. We rode the stagecoach, enjoyed sarsaparilla at the saloon and perused all the shops and displays. The drive there is gorgeous and not too far for a fun day trip. Many thanks for sharing your wonderful home and the surrounding area with us.

Kindest regards,
The King Family

I recently stayed there with four adults, three toddlers and one infant. We had a great time. It is cute, very comfortable and has everything you need, not to mention it is child proofed, has toys and stuff like kids plates/sippy cups, etc. We went up to see snow, and found it at the nearby national park. It's beautiful countryside, and the there are some cute towns close by.

We had a wonderful weekend at this Big Trees Vacation Home. We traveled with two families (four adults, 2 toddlers, 1 infant) and it was very comfortable. The home is thoroughly child-proofed and well-equipped. Fully stocked kitchen, toys/books/movies for kids, playpens, high chair, etc. There are lots of activities in the nearby area although we barely left the driveway since there was so much snow to play with.

The owners of the home are very pleasant to deal with and they are well-organized. We were so glad to have taken their suggestion to stay three nights instead of two - it was well worth it. We will certainly return in the summertime to enjoy the area without snow.

This is by far one of the nicest rental homes we have ever stayed in. The owners have put a lot of care into renovating the house and it shows. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked, and they are well-equipped for small children.

The driveway is rather steep, so if you are going up when chains might be required make sure you have a good set.

Proxmity to the Calaveras Big Trees Park is plus.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. It is very nicely decorated, warm, inviting and has a very well equiped kitchen. The location is great too, just about 30 minutes to the ski resort.
