Come enjoy our family home on an amazing acre of forest. Bring the whole family and your friends; with two bedrooms and a large lower level game/media room with bunk beds, you'll have plenty of space to stretch out inside. Enjoy the impressive backyard vista while sipping your favorite beverage on the spacious wraparound deck. Close to Arnold dining, Bear Valley skiing, Murphys shopping & wineries, as well as endless hiking and exploring at Calaveras Big Trees State Park and surrounding.<br>
The open floor plan main level of the home features seating for up to 10 at the Thanksgiving-worthy dining table with additional kitchen countertop seating. Our place is stocked with games and a kickin sound system & Smart TV to keep the good times rolling upstairs, or pop some popcorn and head down to the lower level to fire up a movie on the 65 smart TV. For summer guests, no need to worry about the Arnold heat waves - our Central A/C keeps you cool throughout the whole house. For our winter guests, a wood burning stove keeps the main room nice and toasty on cold nights (we provide fire starters and plenty of firewood) while you play games around the table, relax on the couches for movie night, or curl up in the reading nook. On chilly winter days the central heat & wood stove will keep you comfortable. For snowy mountain fun, you can drive 30-45 minutes up the highway to Bear Valley.

All the beds are made with clean duvet covers so you never have to worry about the cleanliness of any of the bedding. The master bedroom is outfitted with a luxury California king mattress and all of the beds have high quality linens and mattresses.

You'll have access to the two car garage where you can charge up your electric vehicle on the level two 220 volt charger, wash your clothes in the front-load Samsung washer and dryer, or open up the ping pong table to find out who's got the best forehand smash in the family. Summer and winter excursion gear will be waiting for you there as well with sleds, tubes, noodles, folding chairs a cooler, and ice packs. You’ll also find a size large collapsible dog kennel, a dog bed, and a dog dish if you decide to bring a goodboy or a goodgirl along ($60 per pup, max 2). Unlike many Arnold rentals, we provide garbage service for our guests, so no need to haul your trash out.

When you're ready to experience the outdoors, head out to the expansive deck to take in the views from 25 feet up under the shade of the incense cedar. Next take the kids and the dog down to the back of the property to explore the acre of nature and find endless opportunities for imaginative play and some truly epic sledding terrain.

    We had a fabulous stay. Everyone enjoyed it. The house was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The host was easy to contact and very responsive.

    My mom, friend, and I had a wonderful stay here. It was clean, had all necessary amenities provided, and is conveniently located near the local eating establishments and town grocer. Parking at the property was easy and spacious. Our host was awesome, generous, thoughtful and accommodating and communicated with us throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed watching the deer from the deck when evening started setting in. A relaxing experience and we’ll be sure to stay here again should the opportunity arise.

    Perfect Vacation Retreat We live in Arnold and we had friends visiting from the California Central Valley but we needed more space and privacy for our guests than our home would allow. This home turned out to be the perfect getaway for our friends who loved sitting on the back deck and watching the deer come and feed each evening on the gorgeous one acre property. This home is cozy and inviting, smells great, and is clean and not overly decorated, so it provided a serene environment for our friends and us to relax and recharge. This property is conveniently close to town at the same time provides privacy in a peaceful setting. The kitchen is well stocked, so we got takeout only two nights and cooked in the rest of the time. It’s obvious that thoughtful care went into preparing this home for guests, from having laundry soap available, dog bowls, beds and toys, extra towels, blankets and pillows to having high-speed Internet and better-than-cable television. Special appreciation to the hosts for allowing us to park in the garage, for the easy access driveway, and no stairwells to climb to get into the house (us old folks really appreciated that!) for a very long and beautiful, solid wood dining table that made meals and playing games comfortable and inviting, and for beautiful views from in the house and from the deck. The hosts were extremely accommodating and kept in touch with us throughout our stay in order to ensure our comfort and satisfaction-DeeDee is simply awesome.

    The house was perfect for our family and small dog. We wanted a quiet place to escape the Bay Area, and this place was perfect. We liked that the main floor was at street level, which made unloading our things and groceries easy. The downstairs area was spacious, with two bunks and couches, providing plenty of room for our teens. Both upstairs and downstairs had smart TVs, which came in handy, and an awesome sound system for listening to your music. The owner was helpful and even emailed us with suggestions for things to do and places to visit. There was also plenty of parking in the driveway. We really enjoyed the location of this home, the view from the deck, and the quiet neighborhood. We even saw a family of deer from the deck! We would definitely stay here again.

    This house has a fantastic layout - loved the garage with access to the house, the open floor plan, and the epic kids room downstairs. The kitchen could use some improvements both in the cleanliness and the stocked dishes and tools. If you are picky about pillows as I am, i would recommend bringing your own as the house’s were pretty old.

    The property was great. The only complaints were the toilet seat in the master bedroom was loose. My son found a half eaten apple under the second upstairs bedroom. It would have been nice to have a screen door in the master bedroom so we could have cooled off our bedroom better. There was a lot more traffic on the road than we expected on Saturday.
