About this house rental
Fantastic cabin with all the features everyone loves. Located in the woods of the Stanislaus National Forest, in the town of Arnold. It's a quick 100 mile drive from the Bay Area that brings you far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This mountain cabin does not have AC but we do have a ceiling fan in one of the downstairs bedrooms and a ceiling fan in the upstairs TV area. We also have a number of standing fans that can be moved around.
Comcast high speed internet throughout the home. The internet works fabulous, even with the whole family online! Verizon phones get full service. The cabin features vaulted wood ceilings, lots of windows, large loft, updated kitchen, big screen TV with DVD and streaming capacity upstairs, large deck to sit around or enjoy meals with your entire family.
4 bedrooms 2 baths offer actual beds for 10 people. Bedroom No 1 features a queen bed, bedroom No 2 features a queen bed, bedroom No 3 off loft area features a double bed under a twin bunk and bedroom No 4 a queen bed. There is an additional twin bed in the upstairs family room. The futons downstairs offer additional sleeping. The cabin features two full bathrooms one of which is on the main level and the second is upstairs off the loft area. We also have a washer/dryer for you to use.
Whether enjoying your meal inside or out, you'll find plenty of dishes, chairs, and towels for everyone there. Quiet and peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees. The large deck is perfect for enjoying family meals, or relaxing by the fire pit with a glass of wine. The long circular driveway can easily accommodate the cars of everyone that came to join in the fun. There's even room for your boat.
The location couldn't be better! It's less than 2 miles to White Pines Lake. There you can swim, kayak, hike, have a picnic, play on the playground without having to pay a fee. It's less than 15 minutes to the historic town of Murphys where wine tasting, good food, and history abound. On your way to Murphys you can stop at Mercer Caverns and explore the caves.
There's awesome skiing 20 minutes up the road at Bear Valley Ski Resort.
10 minutes up the hill you will find yourself in the beauty of Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Keep travelling uphill and you will soon find yourself at Alpine Lake and then Bear Valley.
In less than an hour you can be in the beauty and majesty of Yosemite National Park.
Excellent Italian, Mexican and Chinese restaurants within two miles (Do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Serafina's!) as well as several excellent cafes, a brewery, Big Trees Market and a coffee shop all within a mile of the cabin.

The property is great. The only issue i have is the washer and dryer does not work. I informed the host and sge said she new it was broken but forgot to inform VRBO and me.
If i have know i would have asked dor a refund and rented a different house.
I am on vacation and do not want to go to a laundry mate and wait 3 hours for my family to do laundry.
I am waiting on VRBO to get back for a resolution on this issue.
I asked for a refund of the host fee of ,$230 dollars and the host wanted to only gine me $dollars.

This cottage, cabin was exactly what we wanted for our group snow trip cozy and comfy. Everybody had their own bed and the kids big and small had their own gaming/ hangout area up stairs. We enjoyed everything about this place we even hosted dinner one night at our house and we all fit with plenty of room . We will definitely book this place for next years trip if it is available.

Came for weekend with family including our dog. Plenty of room for everyone. Near the grocery store which helps when we forgot things. Had a few questions, host responded quickly. Great cabin.

My family and I stayed here for our mom’s birthday weekend and it was an absolute joy. We also brought our dog who was warmly welcomed. The overall check in and out process was simple and accommodating. It was our first time experiencing snow and it was not a disappointment. There was plenty of room for our group. The host supplied nearly everything we needed. I highly recommend staying at this property and we will definitely be staying here again.

We loved our stay in Arnold! The cabin was just perfect for our party of seven. Our labrador was welcomed with open arms as well. We enjoyed White Pines Lake and Murphys down the road a bit. The cabin was orderly and cozy, a little dated, but that's what to expect in a cabin in the mountains. I would stay again in this cabin for sure. Thank you for a great stay!

unsafe conditions. The deck had a partial piece of a temporary fence leaned up against a back stairway that had no rail on the outside of the house and no bottom step. It was not secured in anyway and we had a toddler with us I attached photos to this message but they are not sending. The house was clean and nice. The porch was old with chipping paint and several of our family got splinters

We were looking forward to a much needed weekend retreat. The crispness of the air, the smell of the pine trees, and a cozy retreat. It was perfect and exactly what we needed.
5.0 / 5.0
This is a great getaway spot for those with a big group, a big family, or a small group who desire clean air and mountains.
We really enjoyed the layout with a separate hangout area upstairs, the fireplace downstairs, the large deck outside, and a dog run area out front....plenty of room.
We had some fun at a few local hangouts and some good food too!

Clean towels and bedding
The towels and bedding are nice, clean, and comfy.
The host requires guests to wait for the washer to be done and transfer towels to the dryer before leaving. This planning process was kind of stressful as we had to plan for waiting time before exiting.

Our stay at the cabin was an enjoyable. It was clean, generally in good condition with a few small and easy fixes needing attention (microwave door handle was falling off, upstairs bathroom door didn’t lock), and in a good area.
We would recommend and happily return.

had a great stay
The place checked off everything on our list - kid-friendly, dog-friendly, close to kid-friendly snow areas, fast internet, etc.
But we were pleasantly surprised with close proximity to a very good local grocery market and full stock of kitchen wares and utensils. It made the stay much easier than we had anticipated with small kids. The little backyard was also a hit with kids - with snow and slight slope made for a great play area for hours.

Nice Cabin
We had seven people and felt like we had enough room. They mentioned a game table and that was not there. There was still two pool cues but no table. Otherwise it was as advertised. Beds were comfy. Kitchen well stocked.

Getaway cabin
The place was great. I came with my wife and adult kids also were able to bring our dogs. They even have a nice enclosed area out front for your dogs. The cabin was nice and cozy inside. There is lots to do close by. We will go back again when it snows!

Lovely home base!
We had a great time here! Close proximity to Stanislaus National Forest, local brewery, logging museum, etc. Short drive to Murphy’s. Lovely home, true to the listing (except no pool that we could see…) Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, super easy check in process. Will definitely be returning, both for more hiking and maybe for skiing in the winter. Just lovely!

Fun relaxing house!!
This is a great house! We had so much fun playing games and doing the cute cat puzzle🤣 Plenty of room for 4 people to have their own room and one dog. House was stocked with toilet paper and paper towels. Oh and thanks for having all the ice trays in freezer, that is a huge plus!😊 Thank you so much! We will be back!

Disappointed
The online listing depicted a spacious home in the woods. This house was cramped for the 7 of us. We were under the impression that this would be a secluded woodsy getaway with lots of land to explore. It turns out this is a neighborhood much like ours with streetlights and neighbor's houses outside of every window. There are even instructions on the refrigerator telling us to keep the noise level down because of the retirees in the community. The yard was small with unknown boundaries of what belonged to the neighbors, and it had litter in it. There were also 2 unmarked holes (5-6 feet deep) dug that could be a hazard if any of us fell into them.
We were grateful for a place that would let us bring our dog. The fenced-in dog area mentioned in the listing was nothing more than metal gates blocking the porch entrance.
The pool table/air hockey/ping-pong is a single miniature table that can be converted into 3 different games. This was the highlight of the trip for our children; however it was difficult to play properly in the cramped loft space with low ceiling beams in the way.
We spent a day at White Pines Lake. The water was cold, murky, and filled with sea plants. When we tried to have a picnic there, our food was immediately attacked by wasps.
The listing wasn't clear that this home has no air conditioning. It mentioned lots of places to visit nearby, then said that "Raccoon's Ridge" is not air conditioned. When booking, I didn't realize that this home IS Raccoon's Ridge. We did not sleep well because temperatures were too high and fans were loud.
We have AT&T phone service, which did not work at all in this house. As a result, our communication with the owner was delayed by several days.
I did appreciate that there were plenty of towels, dishes, seating and bedding. The kitchen and bathrooms were updated and well-stocked. It was good to have a washer/dryer available as well.

Great cabin for the family
We enjoyed staying here! Great location to visit White Pines Lake, Big Trees State Park, Murphys, Mercer Caverns. Lovely property and we loved eating o. The deck as well as enjoying the fire at nighttime. Kids loved all the activities available in the cabin. Rooms upstairs and downstairs made it convenient to have the kids sleep up while adults slept downstairs. Highly recommend!

Tall Tree Getaway
7 family members enjoyed the space and comfort of this cabin in the woods. We took easy day trips to White Pines Lake, Calaveras Big Tree State Park, and local shops. There is a market very near by, and the cabin is well stocked with cooking and eating kitchenware. Showers and beds were relaxing, and it was great to have a washer and dryer available. The cabin does not have a cooling system, so it got warm during the day. Luckily we were out adventuring during the day, and we relied on the cooler evenings to bring down the house temp. Great value for the price!

Needs TLC... caution for small pups and children
The house has fresh paint on the walls, pretty ceilings, very nice and clean beds, sheets and towels. I appreciate that the kitchen and baths were stocked with all the necessary items.
If you are mold sensitive or dealing with mold illness, the windows are very old and we noticed some mold growth the insides of some of the frames as well as some water damage at the sills of some of the LR windows.
The deck is in serious need of new wood and a paint job. I believe the owner intends to redo the deck but there is paint and wood chipping off, some loose planks sticking up, and the back steps are falling apart. There was a section of rotted out wood covered with sheet metal under the patio table that a person could slice a toe on. I was nervous for my kids and my pup out there.
There is also a loose vertical support in the stairway banister, the one towards the top of the stairs.
The towel bar under the window in the downstairs bathroom is broken and the heavy metal piece almost fell on my husband's foot when it fell off the wall.
The outdoor fenced area has rotting wood and broken chairs.
When we were there, the air hockey wasn’t working… the air coming out is too weak to push the puck anywhere. But we enjoyed the pool table and ping pong and other games.
Once these safety concerns are addressed, it could be a very charming place to stay but seems like a lot to pay for a house with so much TLC needed.
