Great location!

This was place perfect for my family! The home is very stylish, clean and everything needed to cook meals. The kids enjoyed having the play area upstairs. And is in such a great location, near local town for food, beat valley for snow and national park just a few minutes up the mountain. Another plus, i forgot my glasses and they were so nice to sent them to me. Overall a great stay.

Thank you. You and your home are great!

My family and I recently stayed at this wonderful home. We are a family of 5 and the size was just right for us. The home is well updated and the kitchen is fully stocked allowing you to cook various meals. The home is stocked with many games for family time. The owners are very responsive to inquiries or needs when reaching out to them before, during, and after your stay. During our stay, the owners were prepared to call their handyman to assist with something in the home and assist when we had a minor car issue the day we planned to leave. During and after our stay, my family mentioned how much they liked the home and how it will be nice to stay there again if the timing is right.

Fantastic stay in Arnold!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unique, well-appointed, well-organized, well-decorated geo-dome cabin! The property was clean, and we were informed that there is a minimum 2 day interval between guests in consideration of the pandemic which we appreciated. We loved the architecture and tasteful modern Skandinavian decor. The kitchen cabinets were labelled to make it easy to find things, and was well stocked. The bathroom towels were thick and plush, and the bed linens were comfortable too. You can tell the owners make every effort to keep you comfortable and cozy during your stay. We also enjoyed the unique acoustics in the dome shaped abode. We plan on returning again!

Amazing mountain retreat—FIVE STARS!

We had an amazing time at the geodome—the property was spotless, stylish, and well-appointed with everything we needed. The kitchen had all of the supplies necessary to prepare meals and there were plenty of toys and games for the kids. We enjoyed meals and s’mores on the balcony. We felt right at home and can’t wait to be back next again.

Peaceful Stay

This beautifully decorated cabin was very spacious and extremely clean upon our arrival. We loved the loft with the kids play space and all the board games to entertain our little ones. The cabin is a short drive to restaurants and sledding. We had such a great time at the snow! The cabin is surrounded by beautiful trees. Communication with Maria was great!

Perfect family retreat

We had a lovely time with our kids ages 3 and 1, the house is fully equipped for the full family. It is close to lakes, trails and cute little towns, great for outdoor lovers. The house has many toys, games and books that you don’t need to worry about entertaining the kids. The best part is enjoying the silence of nature. Fully recommended!

Beautiful house in beautiful location

We loved our stay at the geodome. The property itself is beautiful, and even bigger on the inside than it seems from the outside. It was immaculately clean and had a really stylish aesthetic. There was everything there that we needed, and lots of nice comfortable touches. We’d stay there again in a heartbeat. What’s more, the local surroundings were lovely. Arnold is a pretty, small town, and the amazing Calaveras state park and it’s Giant Sequoias were a 9 minute drive away. I can thoroughly recommend!

Great stay at the geo-dome cabin!

We had a great time at the geo-dome cabin! It had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing weekend away. We enjoyed listening to music, sitting by the fireplace, and playing games. It was close to Bear Valley and Calaveras State Park which made perfect day adventures from the cabin. Maria was always quick at responding to our messages and had great recommendations for things to do while at the cabin. We hope to come back and stay again soon!

Wonderful weekend

Our stay at the Dome home was awesome. It was very clean and spacious. We couldn't have been happier with how clean the house was. Even the carpets felt clean which I really appreciated. There were plenty of towels and sheets provided and the kitchen had pretty much everything you needed. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating. We had a great stay here at the dome home and will definitely be back when we go back to Arnold.

Really enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed our stay. We found everything we needed was easily accessible and it's a very comfortable environment. The home is great for families or just a couple. Our stay was after two winter storms, so if you are heading to Blue Lake Springs in the winter be sure you have chains if you don't have a 4WD.

Great host and excellent accommodation

We loved our stay at Maria’s Rancho Relaxo. Maria was very accommodating and quick to respond to our questions and requests. The cabin with its unique design has been recently remodeled, so everything is new, clean and in good working order. As fans of Scandinavian design, we appreciate the light and modern interiors. The kitchen is well-stocked and we found everything we needed to cook our own meals. The cabin is nicely decorated making for a comfortable stay. We loved the special touch of the holiday decorations, which made it very homey and put us in the festive spirit. The upstairs couch is super comfy and the acoustics when playing music through the downstairs Echo while sitting upstairs under the domed roof are a trip - makes you feel you are in an opera house. The cabin is located at the edge of town. During the pre-Christmas week of our stay, it was quiet and peaceful. From the cabin you’ll have quick access to the forest and within 20 to 30 minutes of walking you are entering Big Trees State Park. Thank you Maria for a a wonderful stay at Rancho Relaxo. I am sure we’ll be back!

Beautiful spacious cabin, great for kids

Lovely cabin! Very clean and comfortable. Lots of space and toys and games (with all the pieces). Nicely decorated. At the time of our stay, there was smoke in the air, especially in the mornings, from the wildfires far away. I would suggest checking the air quality report. Easy communication with the host. Note that there is no microwave. We enjoyed Fly-in Lake and Blue Lake Springs pool.

wonderful vacation home

My family has visited Arnold and Blue Lake Springs about eight times in the last few years, and we like staying in a different rental each time. That may change - we absolutely loved the Dome home. It is really interesting, beautiful, and clean. We just liked being there. Having the reverse floor plan with the bedrooms on the bottom floor keeps them perfectly cool even during a hot summer days. Just remember that there are plenty of fun things to do *out* of the house, too :).

Truly amazing Dome House!

We had a wonderful stay at Maria’s beautiful home. The cabin is nice and clean, equipped with everything you need. Nice location with easy access to both Arnold, Murphys and Big Tree Park. Maria gave us some awesome recommendations and gems of what to do in the area, and we enjoyed both wine tasting and hiking. We would recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting.

Relaxing stay in beautiful dome house

We really enjoyed our stay in the dome house. The Scandinavian decor is beautiful and makes the house so unique. We enjoyed sitting by the fire place after a day out hiking, it is very easy to hike to Big Trees, other trails is just a car ride away. We also really loved that it is so close to Murphys, a charming little town where you can enjoy good food and wine and do some shopping. The house has everything you can wish for, we absolutely recommend staying here for a relaxing getaway in the Sierras!
