For winter months we have saucers for the snow and for the summer at the lake we have a hard plastic kayak for guest use. We also have a ping pong table you can roll out to the driveway and cornhole.

Plenty of parking in driveway, carport and right side of the house as well as street parking if need be.

Other things to note:

We have a generator with instructions should power go out. Please note the generator is NOT automatic - so you will have to manually move it from garage to under car port and start it. Or you can just use flashlights should power go out... which makes for a fun adventure. :)

We have snowplow service as well as a small snowplow. Manually shoveling snow is sometimes a thing when we get a lot of snow. We have shovels available in the garage.

You will have access to the entire house, and we ask that you treat it as if it were your own!

THINGS TO DO:

1 mile away is our FAVORITE place... The Lube Room. Family friendly... late night more of a bar. Live music all summer long.

1.25 miles away is Camp Connell General Store. During summer months they have live music and food in the beer garden out back.

5 miles down the hill is Blue Lake Springs and Sequia Country Club. The club is open for guest to dine. The golf course is private.

7 miles down the hill is Arnold where you will find shopping and dining. A fav stop for us is Hinterhaus Distilling. ( Adults only ) Fabulous drinks - but a note, you can only be served one due to laws and zoning. If you are a Moose Lodge Member be sure and visit Arnold Moose Lodge on White Pine Lakes.

8 miles down the hill is White Pine Lakes - great for fishing, paddle boarding, or relaxing on the beach. Volleyball courts and basketball courts around the lake.

10 miles down the hill is Big Trees Market. Say hi to Bob behind the meat counter.

Murphys is 25 minutes down the hill where you will find:
Mini golf
Restaurants
Wine Tasting
Shopping
Caverns

Ski resort is 25 minutes up the hill.

Other things close by: Sonora, Yosemite... so much toooo do!

    Our second stay in this beautiful home. Great floor plan our large group of five adults and six children. Even our little dog enjoyed the stay. The kitchen is very well appointed. Best of all it snowed during our visit to the kids delight.

    Mountain retreat was a lovely place for 5 women friends (and two doggies) to spend a birthday weekend. All the comforts of home and then some. We had great weather and spent mornings on the deck having coffee while sitting on the comfy outdoor furniture. I’m going to miss waking up to the beautiful trees surrounding the house. It was a great get-away and very relaxing. Samantha is a wonderful host… very responsive and helpful.

    This home was our best vacation stay to date!! It more than met our expectations. Exceptionally comfortable for the 5 adults and 6 children. There was plenty of room to spread out, with additional sleep mats for the young ones. The kitchen was my dream kitchen for cooking, very well stocked. We all slept so well on the comfortable beds. Location was excellent for our few days of snow play. Thank you for a great get away experience.

    Our stay went really smooth. We went right before a snow storm and stayed two nights. We loved the layout of the house and property. It fit 11 us perfectly. The kitchen was the adults favorite spot and we enjoyed that it was fully equipped. The kids loved sledding down the backyard. We didnt have to go anywhere and enjoyed every minute of the cabin making memories with our loved ones.

    We absolutely loved this home! Incredibly clean, very well-stocked with cooking/entertaining supplies, nicely furnished, and wonderfully spacious yet cozy at the same time. The owner paid so much attention to guest comfort with extra toiletries in case you forget, extra food in case you're snowed in, amazing basic supplies (like kleenex, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc.), and warm touches like a welcome basket and sign. Booking, check in and check out were a breeze and we received great instructions for the house and tips for staying in Arnold (great location close to everything you need). The photos and listing are accurate - except even better once you get there!
