Vacation rentals with a kayak in Amador County

What was great: The bedroom configuration worked great for our family of 5, with room to spare. Beautiful setting amongst the trees, with sunrise views through the main window. Well stocked kitchen. Close to Bear Valley Ski Resort. Using the fireplace every day. What could have been better: Hot Tub water was musky/murky. Check in and check out procedure required driving an extra 20 mins on both ends (pick up and drop off are at Bear Valley resort). Lots of automated communications, much of which was duplicative and included text that reads "Click Here," but is not an actual URL/Link. Having to pack out all trash. Slow internet Despite some opportunities for improvement, especially at this price point, we had a lovely time and found communications with staff -- once we were there -- easy and responsive. Getting to the ski resort was easy and the place worked well for us. We would stay again!

Anne’s house made our trip so wonderful. She is very prompt response with clear and detailed information. She was flexible by accepting for guests (extra charge) that saved me quite much time when searching a house for our big group. We will come back if the kids want to ask for playing with the snow again.

We loved Samantha’s place. We can’t wait to go back. Beds were comfortable. Super Clean spacious.

Our family completely enjoyed staying In Pioneer at this awesome home and location. The grounds are immaculate and so beautiful with plenty of seating and activities to enjoy. We enjoyed cooking together in the well appointed kitchen and Andrew even put up a Christmas tree for our family to enjoy and decorate which was important for the grandkids. Everyone loved the Christmas tree light show! We hope to come back and enjoy it all again!

Spent the weekend here with my SO and had an incredible time. Jessica’s property is cozy and nestled in the forest with amazing views in every direction. The house was super clean and with great amenities (including the use of a vehicle pass to see Big Trees State Park which is only 10 min away!). Jessica was super responsive and proactive, being sure to ask how our stay was going and ready to answer any questions we may have had. She also gave us some great local recommendations for seasonal activities around town. Would highly recommend staying here!

Our 2nd stay @ Brittney’s place was a lot of fun once again. Love the spacious home and how close it is to the Big Tree Market incase you need anything you forgot.

We loved our stay at Sky High Ranch! We had mild weather but lots of snow due to the high altitude. We loved exploring the trails near the house and appreciated that we didn't have to get in the car all weekend long to enjoy a winter getaway. The house was very clean, well stocked for basic cooking, and had plenty of DVDs, games, kids toys, and firewood. We were three families with young kids and all had a blast. Thank you!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Everything was clean and well maintained. Tessa and Layton were very friendly and welcoming. Great place to stay in Arnold!

Perfect spot for an easy snow trip with kids. My 3 yo son was stoked about all the toy trucks and both kids loved having their own little beds. We slept comfortably and the common areas were the perfect size to accommodate the 4 of us, plus grandparents. We hope to return!

We came out for a weekend getaway for my birthday and this place offered what we were looking for. The house was so charming and was at a nice location. We drove up to Spicer Snow Park, which was just 30 minutes away and the kids got to play in the snow. Cyrus had some sleds available for us to use so that was really nice. We ate at Sarafina’s our first night there and the food was amazing. The house was fully equipped which allowed us to stay comfortably. On our last day there, we woke up to snow and that was a very nice surprise. We decided to extend our stay and Cyrus was very responsive throughout our stay and friendly to talk to. It made staying there that much more comfortable. My favorite part of the house was the fireplace. It provided the most coziest setting. We absolutely enjoyed our time away in this home away from home and this was easily one of our most memorable trip by far. We are looking forward to coming back for another stay.

We stayed for a weekend snow trip with two families and it was a great fit for us. The hosts were very communicative, the kitchen has plenty of cookware for making big family meals, and the rec room was a great place to relax after a day of sledding. (Or send the kids to so we could relax upstairs. :) It was especially nice have toys and dishes for kids so we didn't need to bring our own. We would stay here again.

The home was just as picture, beautiful and clutter free! I was drawn to the big windows and they did not disappoint!

We loved our stay at Hector’s place. It was clean and clutter free. The kitchen had everything we needed and the appliances were new. The game room was a highlight. We played ping pong and foosball for hours. It’s in a quiet location in the hills above Arnold but only 5 minutes to the grocery store. Bear Valley skiing and sledding is 40 minutes away. We can’t wait to return here.

First time in Arnold, Ca. Perfect place for our family weekend getaway, close to Calaveras Big Trees and to the Sno-Park areas! It was very clean and organized with extra mattresses and lots of extra blankets and games for our family. Clear instructions, peaceful place, and very responsive host. Some local recommendations as well. Definitely will be back and will recommend to family and friends. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at Alisa’s place! The house was perfect for our two families. The kids absolutely loved the extra playroom, which kept them entertained for hours-- no need to bring extra toys, there was plenty for them and puzzles for adults. The kids also had a blast playing outside in the yard. We also really appreciated how close the house was to Calaveras Big Trees. Alisa was accommodating, allowing us a late check-out, and she was very responsive whenever we had questions during our stay. Our only regret was not having enough time to use the pizza oven, but the kitchen was fully stocked, so we were able to store all our food and cook comfortably inside. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this home for families looking for a relaxing, well-located getaway!
