Piva Casa part of 12 Best Airbnb Rentals

Our first bit of PR and we are so excited! Online travel blogger, Territory Supply, just named us part of their 12 Best Airbnb Rentals in Lake Arrowhead, CA.

Within the article, they stated…

Pack your family up for a memorable vacation at this hidden gem beneath the trees. While it’s tucked away enough to feel like you’re removed from most neighbors, the happenings of town are only a 10-minute drive away. This home offers a space specifically for children with bunk beds, books, and toys, plus a crib provided for little ones. If you visit in the winter, be prepared do some snow shoveling – but your reward is pristine winter views of fresh white snow on green pines. Nice.

And we couldn’t agree more with everything they mentioned! Our cabin truly is catered towards families with children and we try to make it as kid friendly as possible. We’re glad other people are noticing our efforts!

It Started with a Boat.

Hi I’m Amanda Pivovaroff, wife, mom of 4 littles (ages 7, 4, 2 and 3mos) and owner of Piva Casa. Piva Casa is a collection of stylish kid friendly vacation rentals. Unlike many other vacation rentals, Piva Casa homes cater to families and each home is setup to be more accommodating for parents with small children. 

Little back story of how this business venture started. It was March 2020 and we were vacationing with our 3 kiddos at the time and our friends at their family cabin in Shaver Lake, CA. Suddenly my husband yelled from across the room, “well looks like I got the boat”! Turns out he had bid on a boat on an online auction site (without seeing it in person) and he was the highest bidder. This boat was a great deal, or so we thought…

In the long run, the boat ended up costing us a fortune! After being delivered to us from Texas, we realized it needed a brand new motor. Got the motor, spent the summer at nearby lakes and realized there weren’t too many local lakes around us. I googled nearby lakes and Lake Arrowhead popped up. A private lake only 1hr 15min away from us, what a dream! We spent the day there that Labor Day (September) and from than on we knew we wanted a vacation home there. After going through a market filled with all cash over ask offers & bidding wars we finally found the cutest vacation home nestled in the woods! Realizing there was no physical way we can be there every single weekend, we decided to rent it out and share our hidden gem with guests like you. It was than that Piva Casa was a born - and to think it all started with a boat.
