THE BEST!

This was my family's second stay at the Red Viking! We've found our forever place when staying in Arnold! It's great for both winter and summer trips! Everything about the cabin is perfect for us, from the cleanliness, to layout, family friendly, all the amenities, AND the owners are so very nice and communicative. We are already planning our winter stay!!

Red Viking is amazing

A beautiful house set well off the highway. We loved the loft and 2nd living area downstairs, plenty of room to spread out. Made pancakes on the kitchen island with the kiddos and fueled up before the quick drive up to Bear Valley. Would definitely stay again!

Snow Time

Stayed here many times, which says a lot right there, as it is perfect for multiple families. Great host well equipped. You can’t go wrong staying here. Quiet friendly neighborhood. Plenty of parking and use of the garage is a plus especially in the winter. Driveway has a slight slope so not difficult in winter in addition to the plowing service if needed.

Family Christmas 2024

We truly enjoyed our holiday at this lovely well cared for home.We arrived and found the whole home to be very clean, extremely well stocked, and perfect for our family of 9. They even had kitchen items I had forgotten!We all had plenty of space and while no hot tub the upstairs has a big jet tub the little ones enjoyed just as much.The thoughtful owners were a pleasure and easy to message with. The location maybe it easy to get to the sliding areas as well as Murphy’s.Our group didn’t ski this time, but plan on it in the future. This was the best holiday home we have rented by far.We would love to return to this lovey home.

Wonderful home for a quiet getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in this tranquil, comfortable home. It has everything you need. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked and the beds are comfy. We loved the view of the trees from the living room. The owners were great to communicate with. We were lucky to catch the fall colors in the area and enjoyed several visits to Big Trees State Park. We hope to return!

Very nice house

Overall it was great and a gorgeous property; however, the cleaning crew from the last time they cleaned missed a lot; there was rotting cabbage in the downstairs refrigerator, a cup left on the stairs, and what appeared to be bug eggs in the beams of the loft with a white powdery substance on the carpet below the area. The owner very quickly responded to the issues and issued us a 50% refund on the cleaning fee. the cleaning issue was not the fault of the owner, and we would rent this property again. Very close to Big Trees park and a great location. Beautiful setting and a beautiful house; very well appointed and a great setup for a family.
