We enjoyed our time at the Bavarian Zen Den, although we probably wouldn't stay in that property…read moreagain. We did however really like the management company and would definitely consider other properties they list. The positives: We arrived to a sparklingly clean house, which is always appreciated! Everything seemed new and/or well cared for and it was decorated very tastefully and modern. There was a bottle of wine on the table for us with a welcome card which was a really nice touch! The house was very cute- the best part about it is the lovely living room and open modern kitchen with plenty of pots pans and dishes. The living room had a comfy leather couch, a fireplace which we didn't use but looked pretty and a wonderful flat screen tv with on demand movies. We also enjoyed the deck, although it's quite small (perfect for 2 but not really more than that) and had no view to speak of - but it had a great grill that we put to good use. We also loved having a code as opposed to a key to lock/unlock the door. So much easier! And I loved how organized Judy and Grant were in terms of sending emails with info, letting us know what would be there vs. what we should bring, etc. The negatives: The sleeping area was unfortunately a disappointment. We really loved the way it looked, so cozy and romantic, but...the mattress was terribly uncomfortable (a futon I think, seemed old/lumpy perhaps?). We both tossed and turned, didn't get good sleep and felt sore the next morning. The sheets were very scratchy as well, like burlap! To complicate matters, there was no air conditioning in the entire house so the sleeping area felt somewhat stuffy. They had brought us some fans when we first arrived which was nice, but they were noisy and bulky. Also, the on-demand didn't work for the tv in the sleeping area which was disappointing for us as well. Other stuff: There was a downstairs with bunk beds that we felt was kind of wasted space. If you had kids it would work, but still kind of strange because there was one set of double bunk beds and one set of singles, so if you had another couple with you, they'd have to sleep down there with the kids in the same room. If it was just kids it would be fine. At any rate, for us that space went unused. We did enjoy the little Bocce court in the back and appreciated the laundry room with laundry detergent available for use. Location: We had never been up to this area so had no idea where we wanted to be before we booked. As it turned out, we were in Twin Peaks, a short distance from Lake Arrowhead, but a drive if you wanted to go anywhere- not in walking distance to anything. Not a big deal, but we kept imagining what a treacherous drive it would be in the winter! Also, there was no place to really walk our dog or let him off leash, except to walk around the neighborhood on the roads, which were quiet and lovely, but I think we had imagined more access directly to nature where we could go hiking or just let the dog off-leash. It would have been great if the backyard had been fenced in perhaps. In general about the area: We learned that Lake Arrowhead is a private lake, so there is really no access to it unless you're staying right on the lake and the place you're staying has access. Luckily, we had two nights booked at the lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa directly after staying at the Bavarian Zen Den so we were able to enjoy it. Otherwise we would have been bummed!

I am writing this review to inform others that you do not want to waste your money with this…read morecompany. My family and I were really looking forward to this vacation and were very disappointed. For starters the home was not clean. The floors were so dingy that our socks were black after about an hour. Also all the furniture was very old. Some pieces from the sixties or older and not in a cute nostalgic way, but bought at garage sale way. It was gross and smelled and we had to put blankets over the couch and chairs just so we felt comfortable sitting on them. The couch on the front porch had gross black stains. The dishes that they provide were covered in something sticky as though they had not been cleaned. The beds were old and the sheets felt like sand paper. Nobody slept well. I would not recommend this company to anyone, unless you want to waste your money and be uncomfortable. After driving around the area, there were much nicer places to stay and that is what we will do next time.

We've used Orange Cabins (Natalie and Alex) for over a year now and I honestly can't imagine doing…read morethis without them. For 20 years I've managed my own rentals (this is the first time I've used a company) and self management was brutal. You're basically on-call 24/7 because the second a guest can't figure out the hot tub, the WiFi, the lock, or decides the forest has "too many bugs," your entire evening is gone. ‍ What I appreciate most is that they actually treats this like a partnership. They care about the guest experience as much as I do, and they're insanely responsive. I'm on the message threads with guests, so I see how they handle things in real time. Professional, calm, patient, and never reactive, even when guests are being... let's just say "creative." One thing they said early on when we onboarded really stuck with me. They told me they intentionally say "our home" when talking to guests because they want guests to feel like they're staying with people who are personally invested in their experience, not some faceless management company. And honestly, it works. You can see it in the reviews. Guests constantly mention Natalie by name because they remember her. That says a lot. People don't remember automated customer service. They remember when someone genuinely takes care of them, and she really does. They've also helped me navigate permitting, operational stuff, and all the random homeowner stress that comes with having a rental in Arrowhead. Every time I call, they answer. Every question gets handled. I trust them completely, which is not a sentence I say lightly. And yes, I initially had the same thought everyone has: "Do I really want to pay a management fee?" After working with them, absolutely yes. Worth every penny. The biggest thing they gave me was peace of mind. I don't spend my life thinking about the house anymore. They also market properties on their own website, which brings in bookings we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I basically see those as bonus bookings. Our reviews are 100% 5 stars, and a huge part of that is because of how they operate behind the scenes. I've recommended them to a ton of homeowners in Arrowhead at this point, and every single person comes back saying the same thing: "Oh thank god." Now I just go enjoy the mountain without any stress.

I heard about Orange Cabins from a local real estate which was the turning point for me and my sister to have our beautiful cabin be seen on platforms that I couldn't have done it myself. Also Alex knows how to program everything and his team managed by Natalie is just fantastic. They offer the best what it takes to have an amazing time in Lake Arrowhead. My place has been booked since then. Contact Alex and he will guide you all the way.
