Lovely mountain cabin

Very nice. An area rug in front of couch in living room would enhance the coziness of a great cabin. Otherwise no suggestions. Would surely stay again if in Arnold.

Perfect getaway

Pinecone cabin was the perfect cabin for our girls weekend getaway. Super peaceful and nestled back in the mountains, yet close to the market. There were 7 of us and there was plenty of space. The kitchen was stocked with all the small essentials, such as baggies, foil, coffee, saran wrap, paper plates, etc. The bathrooms had plenty of towels for guests, including hair towels! The deck had plenty of seating and a bbq, which was awesome. Great end to our summer. Thank you.

Comfy and Cozy Home away from Home

Beautifully nestled amongst the trees, this house was perfect for a getaway to visit our daughter working nearby. Our dog loved roaming the area, as well. Communication with the host was extremely easy and he was very welcoming. Thank you for sharing this home with us!
