About this property

My Father built the Sopinski Cabin over 40 years ago where my family spent summers, winters & weekends during my growing up years. This wonderful place provided for my sister and me a childhood filled with fun, activity, sports & memories that my family would like to now share with you.

Our cabin is located on a level lot at a 4000 ft elevation in Arnold, CA. We are within minutes from Big Trees State Park, Bear Valley Ski Resort, historic Murphys, Angel's Camp & Sonora. With a wrap-around deck surrounded by pines, our cabin provides an ideal spot to enjoy all the Sierra's have to offer without the hassle of too much snow, traffic or isolation. We are walking distance to many activities and only a minute's drive to many more. Our cabin is ideal for families, pets & adults who wish to go, go, go or just relax on the deck. Whatever your vacation's needs, you can find them here at the Sopinski-Waterman Cabin.

Thank you for your interest in our home and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Weekend getaway

Great location! My children were very pleased and excited to be here. It was great playing board games by the fireplace. The reception nor Wi-Fi was the greatest if your coming for a work from home weekend but it’s just what we needed to have a nice relaxing weekend. Very cozy and comfy!

Great short stay

The house was perfect and laid back for our low key family. Everything you needed was at the house and the neighborhood was nice to walk around. Our kids enjoyed the deck and the extra family room. The house has lots of charm and lives bigger than the actual size. We would stay there again.

Quaint and well-stocked in a great location

My husband and I were looking for a place we could stay with our dog but still be close to family, who were staying in a nearby cabin. The cabin has a quaint, older vibe and was immaculate! Super well-stocked for those looking for a longer stay, and I could see how a larger family would really make good use out of the space, especially those with kids! Communication with Steve was easy, and I really appreciated him giving us a heads up about the status of things re: fire season before we went up for our stay. Great for families, and a nice clean spot for those looking for a pet-friendly spot!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Sopinski

Hello, my name is Steve Sopinski. My father, Ted Sopinski, built our cabin in the '70s when my sister, Amy, and I were young. We have been spending time in Arnold since we were born and have made it a very important part of our lives. My wife, Nikki, and I live in Rocklin with our three sons & two dogs. My sister Amy and her husband, Jeff, live in Santa Rosa with their daughter, two dogs, five cats, parakeet & fish. We visit our cabin whenever possible and hope you find it to be a magical place for your family too!

Why they chose this property

In the late 60s, and well before I was born, a salesman asked my father to come to Arnold to look at properties in the new Blue Lake Springs development. He and his best friend from Lockheed drove up to Arnold with their wives and the salesman. After spending the weekend in Arnold, they knew this was a place they wanted to spend time. My father and his friend purchased a lot together & each bought their own lots. They built a large cabin together for our two families where we spent every minute in Arnold we possibly could. After many years, our friends bought a business and moved up. We sold our joint cabin and my father then built the one we have today nearly 40 years ago. We still love Arnold & the surrounding area as much as the day we found it.

What makes this property unique

The most wonderful aspect to Arnold is its peacefulness. It truly feels like a vacation. When at our cabin, we feel as though we are worlds away from the busy, every day life of home. We love the diversity of the area and all it has to offer. The activities are perfect for our family...some of our favorites are hanging out at the pool, lake and Stanislaus River in the summer time, visiting Columbia State Historic Park, shopping, dining and wine tasting in historic Murphys and skiing/snowboarding and sledding at Bear Valley in the winter. Our most favorite activity, however, is relaxing on the deck with a glass of wine working on a puzzle, playing cards, listening to music or exercising our brains doing cross word with the most perfect weather & serenity.
