About this cabin rental

Ready for a beautiful evergreen getaway? Just an easy 2.5 hour drive from the Bay Area, you can relax, renew, and play at this peaceful mountain retreat and avoid the Tahoe crowds! Bordering the Stanislaus National Forest, the cabin offers plenty of natural beauty while still being less than five minutes from stores and restaurants. Great for couples, a single family, or a small group of friends, it's the perfect place to unwind & explore.

This is our family cabin, and has been loved for four generations. We are ideally seeking folks who want to make this their home away from home for an extended time (with a significant discount for a week or more), but we'll welcome you weekends warriors too. (: We have excellent fast wifi, so you can work remotely and stream to your heart's content.

ABOUT THE SPACE:
*We are a NON-SMOKING cabin.*

The cabin is about 1200 square feet, with comfy chalet-style charm. Downstairs, you'll find the main living area with a kitchen, large dining area, and living room with wood-burning stove and electric heat. There is also a full bath and two downstairs bedrooms, each with a queen bed. Upstairs in the expansive, open loft there are several more beds, a full bath, and an additional sink/mirror outside the bathroom. **You will need to bring your own linens (sheets and bath and hand towels ).**

Outside, you can enjoy the wrap-around deck that looks out onto the forest, tables and chairs, a gas BBQ, and a dirt volleyball/badminton court.

Being on the edge of the national forest, there is plenty to do and see, such as hiking, birding, or just enjoying the quiet. Access to the Arnold Rim hiking trail (including waterfalls, rock climbing locations, and gorgeous expansive views of the whole valley) is literally steps away from the cabin. And from the deck, watch for the family of deer that passes by frequently. We've seen as many as 12 at once!

There is also a lovely little lake with a sand beach, clubhouse with snack bar and beach toys/games/boats during the summer, and kids' play structure available within walking distance down the road.

The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, sugar, salt, etc., as well as a 12-cup coffee pot, microwave, oven, stovetop, toaster oven, waffle iron, and hand mixer (NOTE: There is no dishwasher, but everything needed for romantic, old-school hand-washing. Really, it's a great opportunity for conversation with family and friends!) (:

We run a family-style operation – feel free to use whatever is in the cupboards but please replace (or at least notify us) of items that are depleted (such as soap, napkins, etc.)

There is a radio/CD player and speakers with Bluetooth connection, but we don't have a TV or cable. Books and kids' toys and games, as well as various outdoor sports equipment, are available. Beach chairs, sand toys, and snow sleds for the winter are also kept in the garage for your use. We have a volleyball/badminton court with rackets and a net you can set up if desired.

There is a wood-burning stove as well as electric heating. We have a washer and dryer in the garage downstairs.

We had a great time enjoying the lake. It was unseasonably hot so the lake access helped. We were able to relax in the comfortable home.

This place was great for the 5 of us, but there was plenty of room to sleep others. We had a good time even when we weren't on the slopes. We played lots of games and sat by the fire, we especially appreciated all of the wood there. One thing to keep in mind is there is no TV, so be prepared and bring board games or a deck of cards!

Cabin is older but that adds to the charm. Access to the lake was a big plus. Also right next to the Arnold rim trail if you like to hike. Either a plus or minus depending on what you like--no TV.

Wonderful, quiet, and great for littles! The kids loved the lake and activities, I loved the hiking trail, and we all love taco Tuesday, big trees, and the beautiful nature.

We had a wonderful stay in this sweet cabin. Convenient to the lake (the kids wanted to walk all the time but we had too much beach stuff!) and right at the base of the Arnold Rim Trail for excellent hiking and vistas. Cabin had everything we needed and so much more. We had a blast playing badminton and volleyball, and dinners on the deck were our favorite. Our host was easy to communicate with and gave us all the important details we needed to enjoy our stay. We will definitely be back.
