Guest Reviews
“We enjoyed taking a daily stroll through the quiet neighborhood”
“The unique decor, attention to detail, and especially the well-appointed bedrooms with luxe linens really make this vacation cabin stand out from the rest. It’s the little things that count!”
“The very accessible and short loop trail at the neighboring State Park, allowed for my elderly parents to finally see and touch giant sequoias for the first time in their lives.”
“We truly loved our stay at Raven’s Roost! The house is gorgeous, and so clean, with beautiful modern decor and everything you need for a comfortable visit. We loved the fireplace as well as all the modern conveniences. The kids loved the foosball and ping pong. The scenery was a winter wonderland and the kids loved their time sledding right outside the front door. When we were hit with an unusual winter storm, the owners made sure we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to stay there again. Thank you for the great hospitality!”

“We stayed at Raven’s Roost over spring break / Easter weekend with our cousins from Carmel and Chico. Arnold was the perfect half-way point to meet, and allowed us to explore an area we have not yet been to. There was plenty to see and do in the area, in fact we need to come back as there is a lot more to explore! Raven’s Roost offered plenty of space for everyone, while still retaining that woodsy-cabin feel that we were looking for. The loft sleeping area was a big hit with the kids, as was the lower level Rec room with foosball and ping pong. We comfortably gathered for meals at the spacious dining table, enjoyed cooking with the assortment of interesting finds in the spice cabinet, and really enjoyed serving our food on the beautiful variety of dinnerware. The large reclining couch allowed for memorable movie nights.

“As repeat guests, we can attest to the fact that it is nearly impossible to find such a thoughtfully and well-appointed cabin in this area in this price range. We are so lucky to have “discovered” Arnold (and Raven’s Roost). Through the host’s numerous recommendations, we found this area has so much to offer – for couples, kids, and families, year-round, that we are now inspired to shop for a cabin of our own! In the meantime, we are already looking forward to our next Raven’s Roost retreat!”
