WELCOME
Welcome to our beautiful, peaceful, open, and bright cabin nestled in the peaks of the Sierra Mountains. The unobstructed 50-mile views of the surrounding uninhabited forest and distant peaks beyond are sure to captivate you while you enjoy a complimentary glass of wine. Enjoy a meal on the deck, engage in a game of shuffleboard, cozy up around the wood burning stove or soak in the oversized jetted tub. Your stay at Pine View Lodge should be pleasantly quiet as we are located on a quiet road with no neighbors in the back. During the winter, have fun sliding down the backyard slope with provided snow saucers! There are many options for entertainment, relaxation and opportunity to take in the surrounding beauty without ever leaving the property. A generator assures there won't be interruption in the comfort and fun of your vacation.

However, if you desire, further adventures await as this property is only minutes from quaint towns, wineries, rivers, lakes and ski resorts. We are only a few minutes from the Stanislaus River, Arnold, CA and Calavaras Big Trees.

HANDICAP FRIENDLY
We are one of only a handful of properties having no stairs to navigate to the front door. The driveway pulls right up to the front door. There is a queen room on the entry-level floor making it easy to enjoy the house without climbing stairs. Access to the great views from the backyard deck also requires no stairs or steps. The house is handicap and wheelchair friendly. Elderly individuals will find the home easy to navigate and enjoyable to vacation in.

KITCHEN
The kitchen is larger than most cabin kitchens making it easy to cook large meals and serve large families. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, cooking ware, and a shelf of spices.

OUTDOOR BACK DECK
There is also an outdoor propane BBQ for those who want to BBQ while taking in the great views. Full set of BBQ utensils are provided.

KING ROOM
The King Room is situated upstairs with its own private balcony looking out over the forest tree tops giving an unobstructed 50-mile view down the Stanislaus Valley. The room is decorated in a fly fishing theme and features antique bamboo fly rods and a 4' x 6' stained glass window of the Stanislaus river valley. The indoor sitting area allows you sip your first cup of coffee while taking in the great views. Or, if the weather is agreeable, you can sit out on the balcony to also enjoy the great pine aroma. The upstairs bathroom has dual sinks, additional counter space, glass shower, and an oversized jetted-tub.

QUEEN ROOM
The Queen Room is downstairs with its own bathroom and can appeal to either older or handicapped individuals who want to avoid climbing stairs.

EVENING ACTIVITIES
During the evenings you can gather around the outside fire pit to listen to the crackling fire for memorable family memories. Or if the weather dictates, gather inside around the wood-burning stove and sip hot chocolate. There are also board games and toys for the kids to enjoy.

WI-FI and DIGITAL MEDIA
Our Wi-Fi runs at 450+ GB/sec. You can use the private desk area to catch-up on last minute work items or download your favorite movies or songs. We also have a new LG Smart TV & DVD player with a wide selection of movies for kids, families, or adults. Most movies are rated either G or PG. Recently, we added an Xbox system. Please be sure to bring your own Xbox discs.

SNOW SEASON
There is no need to pack up the car and travel somewhere to enjoy the snow. During the snow season, many families stay at the home and use the sloping backyard hillside to build their own sled runs. During the snow season of 2023, the sled run was more than 100 feet long. Kids, and parents alike, enjoyed it immensely. We have many sleds and saucers available for use for free. There is a mud-room where snow-covered kids can change into warmer clothes without trampling snow and debris throughout the cabin.

POOL - GAMES - ETC
We also belong to the Big Trees Village HOA (3 minutes away) where you have access to swimming pools, Foosball, pong pong, shuffleboard, billiards, air hockey etc. Check times and seasons for when they are open.
