About this property
★The Hideout★A/C•Swim Pinecrest•Ski Dodge Ridge
The Hideout is centrally located in the Stanislaus National Forest tucked away under the shady cedars of Long Barn, Ca. The Bohemian-Inspired space is perfect for couples, or solo travelers looking for a comfortable place to relax and unwind after a day of adventure. Perfect home base to explore state parks, multiple lakes, rivers, and countless hiking trails in the area. Pinecrest Lake, Dodge Ridge Ski Resort, and Black Oak Casino, & the charming town of Twain Harte are all within 15 miles.
THE SPACE
Romantic couples getaway awaits! Completely renovated in 2021. New mini split Air Conditioning units installed just in time for summer. 600 ft.² accommodations include a one-bedroom with a queen-size bed and a loft with a full-size bed. Freshly washed towels and hand towels are provided in the bathroom upon each guest's arrival. The bathroom has a corner shower with a dispenser of shampoo, condition, and body soap for guests to utilize. Stainless steel appliances and a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals. A magic bullet for blending smoothies, or better yet… MARGARITAS, toaster, and waffle maker are available for guests. Large covered deck with outdoor seating. Propane BBQ for grilling and bistro lights on timer throughout the property for ambiance. The cabin is located across the street from the historical Long Barn Ice Skating Rink.
