Because this cabin is steps to our friend's house, the convenience factor is 5/5. Below is my honest review.
The cabin is set up on a hillside in Big Trees Village. This is maybe 15 min further up the road from Arnold, which has the grocery store, restaurants, and White Pines Lake. There is parking directly out front. I estimate there to be 20+ steps up to the deck and front door, so if you have any mobility issues, this is not the cabin for you. I would describe the cabin as basic and no-frills. There is a nice family room/dining room area, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms—ample space for our family of four. I would argue the cabin is in need of simple updates, like fixtures and flooring, but it got the job done and we had no complaints. It is walking distance to the Big Trees Rec Center, which has a playground and pool in the summer.
