Lakemont Cottage: The perfect cabin to relax and warm-up after a long day of skiing or hiking. Only a 5 minute walk to the private Lakemont Pines Lake. The cabin is less than 200 feet to the base of the Stanislaus National Forest, and the newly established ART (Arnold Rim Trail), with over 20 miles of excellent hiking and exploring. The private Lakemont Pines Lake is OPEN, has a sandy beach area, lifeguard, kayaks, playground, pedal boats, horseshoes, and events in summer for children. You can bring your own kayaks or SUP's, borrow them from "The Stuff Shed" at the lake, during the summers, or rent them at the SNAC Store in Arnold, which is a short 1/2 mile away.
2 Bedroom, 1 Bath, 1000 sq. ft. - Charming, clean, light and peaceful. Cabin is newly furnished with a Zen-like feel. Located on a beautiful, wooded lot in the much desired Lakemont Pines area of Arnold. This is an excellent location for hiking, snowshoeing and relaxing in nature.

Cabin includes WIFI, cable TV in Living Room, DVD player, and all kitchen amenities. There are plenty of games and puzzles for fun and relaxation. We have continued to ask guests to bring their own bath towels (which we implemented during covid). We have not raised our rates for a decade, and it is one way we have kept our rates low. (There are plenty of blankets, comforters, kitchen towels!). The cabin is THOROUGHLY sanitized before each guest checks in.
Cabin has 2 decks overlooking our private wooded lot, complete with patio furniture and a gas BBQ. There is a parklike setting in the rear of the cabin, where there is a table, chairs and umbrella, as well as two adironadack chairs by the stream, when running. Cabin is equipped with a wall furnace, NEW electric heaters in bedrooms and bathroom, and a NEW gas fireplace in living room, surrounded by a river rock hearth.
