This property is the ideal vacation rental. It’s situated right on the edge of the river Valley so all you see is trees and blue skies. The place itself has great amenities with comfortable beds and all the cooking utensils and materials you would need for a great stay. Gary is beyond hospitable, very responsive and very thoughtful. Highly recommend this place and we will be back again with a family of four. Place was great for my two kids and adults as well.

Thank you for the lovely review and the description of the amenities that this cabin offers. I'm glad you had a great time and I look forward to your next visit. I will make your next visit just as magical as this last one.
Kind regards,

Hi Katrina,
Thank you for the high compliment.
We thank you for being a returning guest. Thank you for making this home a family tradition.
All the best to you and your family,
Gary
This was a great place to stay for our Bear Valley ski trip. Its clean, well equipped, great views, cozy and comfortable. Gary is a great attentive and an overall great host. We enjoyed the shuffleboard, the woodstove, and Netflix on the nice TV during the evenings, star gazing before bed and beautiful views at sunrise and sunset.

Dear Sandra & Sam,
Thank you for the nice review. I am so glad you were able to catch all those fish in the Stanislaus river.
I came to the cabin the day that you left and I was astonished at how clean you made the cabin for the cleaning team. It was so special to find someone that really took great care of this home. I will post more fishing information in our welcome binder and I hope it will add to even greater success for your next fishing adventure.
You are welcome back here anytime because of how well you took care of the home.
All the best,
Gary.
Another great stay here! Gary is a great host and always makes sure you’re taken care of. This time we drove to bear valley adventure instead of Sno Park and the kids loved it! It was only a 5 min difference

Hi Katrina,
I'm so glad you and the family had another memorable stay. Thanks for being great guests and taking care of the home. You and the family are always welcome here.
Gary’s place was amazing from start to finish. He was always very helpful and responsive. The house was spotless, cozy, and incredibly comfortable. We spent Christmas there and had a wonderful time—everything felt clean, warm, and welcoming. We’d love to come back again!

Hi Erica,
You brought your dog even though you knew that pets were not allowed. You notified me that you were bringing your dog on day you arrived. That was highly deceptive. Then you told me you left the place in good condition but the cleaners who I work with had a much different opinion. Then, trying to pass your dog off as a service animal was a another form of deception.
It appears that your dog tore up one of our pillows and then someone hid it which my next guests found.
I have hosted over 100 families and this event ranks at the bottom.
Our stay was fantastic. Gary was absolutely wonderful and easy to communicate with. Would 100% stay again

It was a true pleasure hosting the four of you. I'm glad you enjoyed the local restaurants and sights. You stayed during a gorgeous time of the year.
Safe travels home.

What a great place to stay. The cabin is nestled in the trees and has spectacular views. You will appreciate how nice, clean and well-cared for this vacation rental is. You can't beat bbq'ing on the deck and the great kitchen. Very easy access to Bear Valley, Lake Alpine and more. We will come stay again.

Dear Brigitte and Mark,
It was a pleasure hosting your group. Thank you for taking care of the property and for submitting such a nice view. I hope you can return during the snow season and do some sledding in the backyard.
Regards, Gary
Very relaxing neighborhood, perfect location for what we were looking to do. We visited the Big Trees state park only a few miles away, Tahoe and Lake Alpine.. the small towns along Hwy 4 were fun to visit also. Highly recommend!

Dear Ryan,
Cathy and I are so happy that the cabin met your expectations for your family getaway. The small towns are fun to visit, especially downtown Murphys. They have unique restaurants ("Rob's Place" is my favorite) and between 7-10 wine tasting places all within walking distance.
Safe travels home!
Gary & Cathy
We appreciated the location close to the state park. The neighborhood is very quiet. Interior finishes a little worn and could be refreshed. The bed in the master was very comfortable. The recliner couch in the living room was wonderful too.

Hi John,
Thanks for reviewing your stay at the cabin. So glad you slept well in the king 🤴 room.
I'll refinish the coffee table finish and bring it back to its beautiful Lustre.
Safe travels home,
Gary
We had the best time at the cabin over the holidays. It was perfect for our two families with young kids. Gary was a super communicative, friendly host. We really appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was for cooking, the entire house was incredibly clean, and the kids loved the extensive game collection. It was a cozy, comfortable retreat with beautiful views, and we hope to visit again in the future!

Dear Leah,
We are so pleased to hear that your two families had an enjoyable time at the cabin. My wife makes sure the kitchen is well stocked.
Glad to hear that the sleds and saucers were put to good use at the SNO park.
Thanks for the kind review and we hope you can enjoy it again next year.
All the best,
Gary
We had a wonderful, relaxing time staying at this cabin. The back deck is absolutely wonderful and you could look at the view all day. The house is very clean, has everything you need and so comfortable! Also, Gary the host will communicate with you and make sure everything is perfect. We will come back again!

This was a very relaxing weekend at the cabin.
We canoed at Alpine Lake on Saturday & enjoyed it so much we went back on Sunday.
This cabin is very well equipped in all areas.
Don’t miss out on this beautiful place! :)

Dear Keith and Laura,
Thank you for the sweet review. The canoeing on Lake Alpine is a special event. And so is getting a soft cone ice cream at the Lake Alpine Lodge. 🍦🍦
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Having visited the Arnold area many times, I know that cabins vary in quality, cleanliness, serenity, and overall experience. This is definitely one of the best properties in the area. Gary is a very attentive host, and I can tell he cares about his guest’s experience. His instructions for check-in were timely and clear. We arrived to a the lightly curated welcome basket with selected treats and drinks. The cabin stocks many thoughtful touches - an array of games, videos, and other entertainment options; a “free to share” shelf with a few food staples such as salt, pepper, and oil, comfortable beds and bedding.What stood out most, however was the endless forest view with no back yard neighbors and the absolute quiet of the property. We could hear distant bird songs echo through the hills for many seconds. I can recommend this property without hesitation.

Dear Michael,
Thank you for the detailed and positive review of your stay. I'm so glad that you enjoyed all of the amenities that are there as I work diligently to continually improve how the guests enjoy their stay.
I loved how you noted how quiet that property is. Sometimes, the only thing I can hear is the lite breeze coming through the trees.
I'm also glad that you enjoyed the special bottle of wine that I provided.
I look forward to your eventual return, as most of my guests are now repeat visitors.
Take care, Gary
We had a great couple of days in this house. So quiet and peacefull. Everything you need in a home is there. We mostly enjoyed the deck for a cup of tea in the morning and playing games in the evening.

Hi Marjon,
It was a pleasure hosting your family. I also enjoy coffee on the deck looking out on the views.
Over these last two weeks I had some tree service done which opened up the views even more.
Then I removed a few tree stumps to make the hillside for snow sledding even better.
I hope you can come for the winter wonderland views and snow sledding.
All the best!
Gary
Beautiful comfortable relaxing experience So many things are right about this place:1. Easy parking: no steep or long driveways, no need to back up2. A bedroom without any stairs: there are no stares from parking to the door, and there is a bedroom and a bathroom on the first floor, easy for elderly3. Unobstructed forest view: there are no neighbors at the back of the house, enjoy trees up close, mountains in the distance, and the sky4. Convenient layout: second bedroom is on the second floor, in the opposite corner from the first floor bedroom, so two adult couples truly have privacy5. Lots of windows: makes the house light and bright 6. Plenty of sitting: couches, chairs, deck furniture, fire pit chairs - space for everyone7. Entertainment options: tv, dvd, board games, children books, shuffle board8. Small items that make your stay convenient: hooks, bars to hang towels, coasters, dishes, pans. No shortage of towels either9. Minimum noise: less neighbors means less noise, so if you want to run away from daily talk-scream-yells-newborns playing piano and so on - you can do it here10. Clean: they do a good job so you can just relaxWe really enjoyed our experience and recommend it to others

Dear Irina,
Thank you so much for the kind and detailed 5-star review. I'm so glad that this home met the needs of your elderly parents of not having to climb stairs. Thank you for appreciating the effort my wife and I have put into this home to make it an enjoyable family environment for families to create lasting memories. I hope you all can come back again and enjoy the beauty of the snow covered trees during the winter time. I recommend mid-February as the best time to enjoy the snow-covered trees and mountains. All the best, Gary
This house is beautiful, well - maintained, and very clean. It has a layout that really lends itself to a group (around five people). The kitchen is well equipped and spacious. There is a nice size dining table, comfortable and inviting living room. The bedrooms are really nice and comfortable. The bathrooms are great and The view is lovely. The hosts are friendly and full of helpful advice. I would highly recommend this place and I hope to come back sometime.

We also like the layout, the bathrooms, and especially the views.
I'm glad you had a great experience and we hope to see you again for another memorable vacation.

this spot was fabulous. The architecture, the amenities, the special touches all made it a place that I told my husband, "I want to live here!" Gary was attentive and the place was stocked with things far beyond "needs" and well into luxuries. Even a Radio Flyer sled for winter folks. And so close to Big Trees and Murphy's. Loved it!

Dear Gail,
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful review.
I'm so glad you found the locally blossoming lilacs we put in the cabin a pleasure to see and smell.
You had great weather during your stay, allowing for visits to Big Trees State Park and the town of Murphys for some wine tasting.
I hope to someday make it to your rental on Maui.
All the best,
Gary
We loved every minute of our stay. Easy check in. Well Equipped. Great views! Felt like home. We visited the Calaveras State Park. Definitely check that out when you are there. The dining area is a great place to hang out and play games after dinner. The living room is also super cosy and comfortable. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Gary!

Dear Rachna,
Thank you for the kind review. Yes, Big Trees State Park is a "must visit" location when you come up here, whether Summer or Winter.
I also like looking out on the forest while eating dinners.
I hope you can make it back for another visit, whether it be in the snowy winter time or in the comfortable summer time.
Take care, Gary
This is the kind of place you search for on VRBO. An amazing setup, encumbered views of the mountains, and really a great cabin feel for me and 2 children(6-12 years old). Perks include access to a pool and rec area at the neighborhood center, but lots of great games, movies and chill out space. Gary was a delight and wealth of info on fishing the Stanislaus, as well an amazing welcome for my kids and myself. 10 stars! Very clean , easy checkin and great amenities.
