If you're a big group looking for a cool quirky cabin in arrowhead that offers lots of style, plenty of space and a uniquely fun vibe, look no further! Everything we needed was within a 4 -7 min drive (grocery stores, coffee, restaurants...etc) And the gas station was just down the street. Yes, all these amenities, within close proximity without compromising on privacy, and peace. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials: cookwear, spices in the kitchen, and an outdoor bbq grill, toiletries, towels, fire wood, board games and blankets... everything was simply well thought out and executed beautifully within the home. We spent most of our days, and nights enjoying the out door fire, the Palapa de papa roof top deck, and the outdoor swing and hammock! good memories were had here and my family and I will most definitely be back again! Highly reccomended! great location comfy beds, lots to do, everything you need to create the most wonderful memories!
