Welcome to the Sugar Pine Chalet, a cozy, recently renovated A-frame cabin nestled in the alpine forest just outside the quaint mountain town of Arnold. Come and enjoy the fresh mountain air, the smell of pine trees, and stunning scenery just a few hours from the busy Bay Area.

The space
The first level boasts an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings. The living room features a comfy seating area, a wood-burning stove, and a TV with streaming access. Two bedrooms and one full bathroom are located on the main level, and the other bedroom and full bathroom is in the loft. The loft also offers a cozy seating area and workstation facing the pine trees seen through the large chalet windows.

The kitchen comes stocked with cooking essentials for your group. Outside, we have a propane grill and additional seating under an umbrella for shade.

Here a just a few of the amenities we offer during your stay to make traveling convenient and fun:

* Very speedy wifi
* A charming wood fireplace
* Modern air conditioning and heating
* Cabin games
* Cozy blankets and throws
* S’more roasting sticks
* Snowshoes
* Beach Towels
* 6 portable outdoor chairs for the lake
* Pack n Play (upon request)

A weekend in the woods is the place to be, regardless of the season.

* Come in the winter for skiing/snowboarding at Bear Valley Ski Resort or sledding and cross-country skiing straight from the cabin. There is nothing cozier than sipping hot chocolate and watching the snow fall through the large chalet windows.
* Summer fun include miles of hiking trails just steps from the cabin, golfing, wine-tasting in Murphys, kayaking and swimming in the nearby alpine lakes.
* Shoulder seasons are highly underrated, in our opinion. The weather is perfectly temperate, making it ideal for hiking, seeing the dogwood trees in bloom as well as experiencing the vibrant fall colors of the Sierra.

Guest access
You'll have access to everything, including .7 acres on our property to explore. You will be:

* 2 mins to the iconic Lube Room Saloon
* 5 mins to Calaveras Big Trees State Park to see larger-than-life Sequoias
* 5 mins to Camp Connell General Store for basic commodities and quirky oddities
* 15 mins to Big Trees market for all your grocery needs
* 15 mins to White Pines Lake to picnic and hike
* 15 mins to the Stanislaus River for fishing and beautiful picnic areas
* 25 Mins to Murphy's, the gold rush era town known for cute restaurants, boutiques, and wine tasting
* 30 Mins to Bear Valley Ski Resort for affordable skiing
* 30 mins to Lake Alpine for kayaking, swimming, and living that lake life

Other things to note
* We offer a garbage service, meaning you can leave your trash in our bear box instead of hauling it out with you.
* Power outages can occur without notice, most commonly in the Summer and Winter months, due to extreme weather. Luckily, we have a backup generator that turns on automatically if the power goes out.

    Sugar pine challet is in the perfect location for easy ski trips to Bear Valley, Big trees, and hiking. There is an enchanting fire circle area with bistro lights. The general store is super close for anything you may have forgotten. The fenced yard is perfect for allowing your fur baby some freedom to run out energy. The size is perfect for 6 people, and clean and comfortable!! We enjoyed our stay so much I'm already checking my calendar for when we can go back!

    Overall it’s a great place. Decorated well, nice furnishings. Bathrooms were very clean, as was the kitchen. Pet friendly, loved the fenced in yard and deck so we did not have to worry about our dog getting out. The beds were clean and comfortable but small. Would have liked a queen or bigger in the master lofted room because it was so spacious. Kitchen was well stocked, but an electric kettle for hot water would have been a huge plus. To make tea or French press coffee we had to use the small stove kettle and it wasn’t great. Loved the wood burning stove - really helped create the cozy atmosphere. The main heating in the house was a little confusing to use but we managed to get it working. I wish there had been more overhead lighting, especially in the kitchen. But the bedrooms as well weren’t well lit and even in the day time we needed to have lights on.The neighborhood is very quiet but easy to get to. It is a solid 15 minutes from Arnold and 30 from Murphy’s. It was nice to feel like you are in the woods but you can still see neighbors so it felt safe. The host was super responsive to messages which was great!

    The cabin is great, very comfortable and cozy. An added plus was being able to bring our pup and the fenced area for him to be safe in. A lot to do in the surrounding area. Only ping I would give is if you want to use the wood stove or fire pit bring your own wood as there was none at the house. We had a great weekend.

    The property was fairly new, well kept and maintained. A few minor things are that the upstairs bathroom had a clogged bathtub and the door to go out to the patio is very hard to slide. Other than those 2, everything else worked and maintained well

    Had an amazing 3 night stay here.The surroundings are beautiful and the cabin location is so peaceful and quiet. Loved sitting out on the deck with my dog and enjoying the tranquility. The cabin is outstanding, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back.

    What a great place to relax, visit and take quiet walks. The beds were comfortable, and we slept well. We used the kitchen to cook and used the barbeque. The surroundings are breathtaking. The lake at Snowshoe Springs is a real treat. It was a little chilly for swimming when we were there but would be so much fun in the summer. Just a real wonderful long weekend. Thank you for sharing your home!
