Kid Friendly Cabin means less to pack.

You’ve heard me mention probably a million and one times, so are you even that surprised when I say our cabin is KID FRIENDLY? ;) I know, I know you’re all probably thinking, so what does that mean for me? For starters, it means less stress and anxiety when it comes to planning a getaway with the family. As a mom of 4, I get it! I dread packing for trips so much so that I save it all until the very morning of, then its a last minute scramble of whatever pops into my head that I think we’ll need, followed by what can actually fit in our trunk. We have a suburban, and even that is ALWAYS packed to the brim when we leave.

That being said, here’s a list of what we currently offer at the cabin for families with little children:

  1. Crib - strategically located in master bedroom for those lovely midnight feedings.

  2. Bunk beds - these FULL SIZE bunks can fit 2 kids per bed! With a little touch of twinkling lights, tv entertainment area & a desk with colored pencils and markers, they’ll never want to leave their kid cave!

  3. Games - for kids and adults, because who says adults are too old for games anyways…

  4. High chair - light, easy to move outside for those dinners under the stars. Paired with bibs, plastic utensils & plates, yes we did think of everything :)

  5. Stroller - our cabin is in the perfect area for walks around the block to get all those wiggles out!

  6. Noise machine & night light - for the littles who are scared of the dark or just need some white noise to put them into dreamland.

Think that covers it! Let us know if there’s something you think we should include in the comments below…

Piva Casa part of 12 Best Airbnb Rentals

Piva Casa named 12 best airbnb rentals in Lake Arrowhead, CA

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.

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.
