Arnold, California
Fantastic cabin with all the features everyone loves. Located in the woods of the Stanislaus National Forest, in the town of Arnold. It's a quick 100 mile drive from the Bay Area that brings you far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This mountain cabin does not have AC but we do have a ceiling fan in one of the downstairs bedrooms and a ceiling fan in the upstairs TV area. We also have a number of standing fans that can be moved around.
Comcast high speed internet throughout the home. The internet works fabulous, even with the whole family online! Verizon phones get full service. The cabin features vaulted wood ceilings, lots of windows, large loft, updated kitchen, big screen TV with DVD and streaming capacity upstairs, large deck to sit around or enjoy meals with your entire family.
4 bedrooms 2 baths offer actual beds for 10 people. Bedroom No 1 features a queen bed, bedroom No 2 features a queen bed, bedroom No 3 off loft area features a double bed under a twin bunk and bedroom No 4 a queen bed. There is an additional twin bed in the upstairs family room. The futons downstairs offer additional sleeping. The cabin features two full bathrooms one of which is on the main level and the second is upstairs off the loft area. We also have a washer/dryer for you to use.
Whether enjoying your meal inside or out, you'll find plenty of dishes, chairs, and towels for everyone there. Quiet and peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees. The large deck is perfect for enjoying family meals, or relaxing by the fire pit with a glass of wine. The long circular driveway can easily accommodate the cars of everyone that came to join in the fun. There's even room for your boat.
The location couldn't be better! It's less than 2 miles to White Pines Lake. There you can swim, kayak, hike, have a picnic, play on the playground without having to pay a fee. It's less than 15 minutes to the historic town of Murphys where wine tasting, good food, and history abound. On your way to Murphys you can stop at Mercer Caverns and explore the caves.
There's awesome skiing 20 minutes up the road at Bear Valley Ski Resort.
10 minutes up the hill you will find yourself in the beauty of Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Keep travelling uphill and you will soon find yourself at Alpine Lake and then Bear Valley.
In less than an hour you can be in the beauty and majesty of Yosemite National Park.
Excellent Italian, Mexican and Chinese restaurants within two miles (Do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Serafina's!) as well as several excellent cafes, a brewery, Big Trees Market and a coffee shop all within a mile of the cabin.
Our stay at the cabin was an enjoyable. It was clean, generally in good condition with a few small and easy fixes needing attention (microwave door handle was falling off, upstairs bathroom door didn’t lock), and in a good area. We would recommend and happily return.
My family and I stayed here for our mom’s birthday weekend and it was an absolute joy. We also brought our dog who was warmly welcomed. The overall check in and out process was simple and accommodating. It was our first time experiencing snow and it was not a disappointment. There was plenty of room for our group. The host supplied nearly everything we needed. I highly recommend staying at this property and we will definitely be staying here again.
We loved our stay in Arnold! The cabin was just perfect for our party of seven. Our labrador was welcomed with open arms as well. We enjoyed White Pines Lake and Murphys down the road a bit. The cabin was orderly and cozy, a little dated, but that's what to expect in a cabin in the mountains. I would stay again in this cabin for sure. Thank you for a great stay!
Attended concerts @ Ironstone Winery ~ spent a day at Lake Alpine….. house was perfect!!
unsafe conditions. The deck had a partial piece of a temporary fence leaned up against a back stairway that had no rail on the outside of the house and no bottom step. It was not secured in anyway and we had a toddler with us I attached photos to this message but they are not sending. The house was clean and nice. The porch was old with chipping paint and several of our family got splinters
Everything was perfect thank you for hosting. Love that everything is near by
Cabin is spacious in good location and accessible but definitely not very clean. Floors were dirty, There is moldy caulk in the bathroom. We had fun but I would not recommend this place with children.
We enjoyed our stay at this property and even had a couple of days of snow. The house was clean and well stocked. The host was very responsive both before and during the trip.
The house is nice. We loved the backyard, Kids had a lot of fun playing in snow.
Overall we were pleased with our stay. Everything we needed was provided including kitchen appliances and paper products. Thanks again for allowing us to use the cabin!
Great place for 3 adult couples. Lots of space for dining together or playing games.
We were looking forward to a much needed weekend retreat. The crispness of the air, the smell of the pine trees, and a cozy retreat. It was perfect and exactly what we needed.
This is a great getaway spot for those with a big group, a big family, or a small group who desire clean air and mountains. We really enjoyed the layout with a separate hangout area upstairs, the fireplace downstairs, the large deck outside, and a dog run area out front....plenty of room. We had some fun at a few local hangouts and some good food too!
The towels and bedding are nice, clean, and comfy. The host requires guests to wait for the washer to be done and transfer towels to the dryer before leaving. This planning process was kind of stressful as we had to plan for waiting time before exiting.
