No power at the property. It should be disclosed with the property description before you book that there are random blackouts for a Camp Connell. Arrived tired and late after 10:30 pm, daughter did not want to sleep here because the lights did not work and she completely freaked out so I had to go drive us and find a hotel room for the night. The power did not go on until Saturday late afternoon. Rented for Friday and Saturday night so I had to pay for Friday night was unusable for us on top of extra hotel cost for Friday. Spoke to the Sheriff on Saturday and he said, “Yeah, this happens all the time… no rhyme or reason… just random power outages… and the power never goes back on when they say it will go back on…” Horrible and there should be a disclosure about it so that we could’ve chosen a different place to stay that isn’t subject to random power outages.

Big cabin for big family
The cabin was cozy. Super quiet. Lots of room ! However, the recreation areas listed aren't actually for the public and they are located over 2 miles away from the cabin itself anyways. We had a lot of children with us so we were looking forward to having somewhere for them to play and swim. The power also went out and we had to check out early.

Terrible property management.
This property was being managed by Vacasa. Which had terrible customer care. From the get go Dryer was broken, which if you go to the snow your clothing is going to get wet. I placed several calls to Vacasa to see if they can take care of the issue. The local Vacasa management team made poor excuses then flat out ignored my calls. The weekend of our stay had record snow fall levels. Cabin had no shovels or any tools to help clear out snow from entry way. I had to go down to Arnold to purchase a shovel at $60. That was after I had to call AAA to help pull out my 4x4 Jeep from the steep driveway. Later in our stay several trees fell and road to Camp Connell which shut us out of the cabin we had to stay in Arnold for 2 days. There was no internet service and on and off power for 2 days. I called Vacasa to try to get help retriving sme of our property from the cabin. I was then threatened by the Vacasa rep that if we did not remove our belongins we would be charged a lost and found fee on top of the cost to ship out our things back home. Luckily the road opened for one day and we were able to get our stuff. we ended up leaving 2 days early. Warning do not book any properties managed by Vacasa, They are just there to take your money. Property is not well maintained, equipment is old and not working. And worse of all if you are left in a dangerous situation they leave you to fend for yourselves and will take additional money if given the opportunity to do so. Also cabin floors are old and very loud, Hot water runs out quickly, Dryer does not work, No shovels or tools to remove snow. Very bad and rude customer care.

Extremely dissatisfied Do NOT stay here!!!
Do NOT stay here based off the pictures and the listing! 1. It stated in the TITLE and pictures that there is a community pool. It is unavailable until Memorial weekend. When the pool finally does open it to owners only. I understand COVID restrictions but it is only if you leave the VRBO site to find mention that things are changed. We booked based on the pool alone. It should be theft to picture and list something in amenities that is unavailable. Come on, COVID has been a thing for over a year!!! Update and be good honest humans! These times are difficult and when we could finally afford a vacation it was nothing like promised! 2. There were signs of a rodent problem. Which was confirmed by the arrival of a pest control guy. 3. There was absolutely no furniture to enjoy the deck and the grill isn’t fully functional. 4. We attempted several times to communicate and we were sent very brief communication through email. None of them offering apologies or a refund of any kind. 5. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. The charge for pets seems reasonable until the tack on the “and fees” part. 6. Why didn’t we leave?? Because for as much research as I did, I could not find another unit to hold all of us and we had spent all of our vacation funds on this rip off!! I could go on and on. We are not new VRBO and have never experienced such poor customer service! We NEVER complain but this is unacceptable!

Nice quiet house
The home was a decent getaway for me, I appreciated the time away. I arrived at 9p and it took forever to find the home. The area was pitch black at night. There is a small round flat landing in front of the house at the top of the driveway just off the street. It was so black and hard to see when I got there I almost drove off the landing and over the small cliff on the other side because I could see nothing. There was no sign or anything indicating a need to stop. The driveway itself is so steep I couldn’t tell if I was meant to drive down so I stayed at the top of the landing. There is a motion light but it only stays on a short time before needing to be triggered again. The patio is extremely dirty, the furniture is also dirty and broken down, and nothing like the photos. The patio was a big selling point when I made the reservation so that was disappointing. The comforter in the bed I slept in was also quite visibily dirty and I wondered if it had been changed in between visitors. That was unsettling considering we’re in COVID times. Some of the pots could also stand to be updated. I would also strongly suggest better/more outdoor lighting. I had to take my dogs out multiple times during the night and it was very dark outside. The house phone also rang multiple times with spam calls so I turned the ringer off. Pros: quiet area, lots of space, well supplied clean kitchen, clean appliances, well-working washer and dryer Cons: driveway too steep, driveway needs signage, large stain on the carpet, patio very dirty/patio furniture broken down, comforter was not clean, pots very old/some peeling, futon cover looked dirty as well and not inviting. Overall I think this would be fine for a large family who is not fussy and just needs a decent home to stay in. For someone who wants a home with great attention to detail and extreme cleanliness this may not be the place for you.

Cleaning was something to be desired
Overall the place is pretty amazing. The location was great and it really did come with everything you could need for a home away from home. Although I do agree that the driveway was not my favorite and I wouldn’t want to use it during the winter months with snow on the ground. When we arrived the first thing we did notice is the fact that whoever last stayed or cleaned left trash in the kitchen. This bag of trash was also leaking out onto the kitchen floor. The sheets were stained in the kids room and the second queens room. The first queen room had trash under the bed and I’m more then sure the sheets were not washed due to the fact that someone’s long hair was on the pillow covers. Overall it looked the rest of the sheets still had dog hair on them. They also left someone’s used retainer on the bedside table. The coach still had what looked like crumbs on it. For having to pay extra for cleaning I would love to know what was cleaned.

Stayed among the trees for a quick getaway. The cabin was beautiful, especially in the morning with the sunshine streaming in through the trees. Very peaceful and quiet.

Excellent, except for a detail
Our family loved the stay, we had a great time. It is close to many fun places like Calaveras Big Trees. Everything inside was great, fun board games, interesting books, great wifi, etc. etc. However, the interior and the balcony was notibly unclean. The entrance suggests to take off shoes, however the floors stained socks with a lot of dirt. There were a few spider webs by the television. Some cushions had what seemed like white dog hair. These details are in fact important, yet they were not a sufficient reason to impede our great time!
