4 families with young kids had a great time. The house was nice, they had plenty of games for the kids. It's close to Big Tree Market so it was convenient to quickly get some groceries.
The pictures don’t do justice to how beautiful this cabin is. It does not go unnoticed how much effort the host has made to ensure guests' needs are met. The balcony view was beautiful for enjoying family meals. The entire house is clean and well-maintained. So many good things to say about this cabin. We are already planning the next trip to re-book this exact cabin.
Forest View cabin has a great floor plan for our multigenerational family group. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent especially after Arnold experienced a strong snowstorm and wind event. When we arrived, the driveway was plowed and the house ready. The young children had endless fun playing in the snow in the yard.
Thoughtful hosts and a comfortable, well decorated house made for a wonderful stay. My family was so happy with our experience here. And the view is incredible!
House was clean & spacious. Fully stocked with everything you need, towels, blankets, toiletries, and everything you need to cook. We really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely stay here again.
This was the nicest cabin we have stayed in Arnold. The cabin situated in the quiet place, very clean and had all the amenities we need. Anyone in our group was very impressed with the cabin. We definitely will come back to this cabin!
Hardly a cabin, it’s a great second home, well furnished, well stocked, great views off the back deck and a very caring owner. This was our second stay and hope to return for a third soon.
My family and I had a great time. We wish we could’ve stayed a few more days. The house is very nice with great views. It was very convenient to have hiking trails, White Pines Lake, and Calaveras State Park so close to the house. We hope to stay there again.
This property was wonderful! We went with our whole family for an annual trip. This house was comfortable and well stocked. The Cub Cave was great for the kiddos and gave them their own private place to relax. Beds were comfy and fans in all rooms was a plus! Would definitely recommend.
Large, quiet property with enough space to spread out. Great for groups of friends and families. Beautiful back deck with great views of the woods. We had a great time and will definitely consider this place the next time we are in Arnold.
The place and location were great! The entrainment (table tennis/foosball) was a great addition to the home. Place was clean and modern. The rooms were great, the instructions were simple, and the view was amazing. We had a really great time and I highly recommend this location for a family getaway.
Rented for a long weekend with friends. Had a great time. House is comfortable and fully stocked with whatever you might need. Beautiful view on the back porch. Restful and relaxing
Beautiful Cabin/Home!! We had a great stay. Pictures don’t do justice, the house is very clean and it’s very welcoming. My children loved it. Perfect house for our family and friends snow trip. We drove about 40 minutes up to the snow in bear valley. Host was amazing and got back to me very quickly if I had questions. House had everything including washer and dryer with detergent. Kitchen has everything you will need including spices. Downstairs lower level is amazing, with master bedroom and kids room with their own little hangout room attached with a tv. The view from the balcony is beautiful, while drinking a coffee in the morning taking in the fresh air!! We will definitely be back soon!! Highly recommend this home.
My family and I had a wonderful stay here, it was everything and more! Plenty of space and items that were very useful! It was clean and updated! Easy check in
Owners were very responsive and helpful! Location was close to stores and lake! We would definitely stay here again!
I have stayed in many Vrbo homes in many places, this was one of the BEST. It had everything one would need and so much more for our entire family. The owner was so easy to communicate with and check in was easy. There are so many things to do in the area. There was a great 4th of July parade near by. We really appreciated being able to stay in this home.
This property was great because of its versatile function. The lower floor was perfect for all the kiddos to hang out, play video games and watch movies while the adults hanged out on the main level floor. The home was also very clean and host was amazing in providing a lot of information on activities and equipment to use that they provided. The home is also very close to downtown which made it really easy to explore and relax. We 100% recommend this home for a group big or small, there’s enough space for everyone.
Great property! Well stocked, organized, clean, and decorated very well. The beds were comfortable. Great amenities! Five star all the way! The owners responded to my questions very promptly!
As a family that has visited the Arnold area for the past twenty some years, this cabin is by far the best experience we have had. The unit is incredibly well equipped and maintained. The views are breathtaking from the back deck and for hikers there is an entry to the Arnold Rim trail leading to the ‘top of the world’. Great hosts ! We will be back!

About the host
Hosted by Lynn Starr
We live in the nearby Lodi area and aren't able to get up to enjoy the cabin ourselves as often as we'd like. We love being able to share our happy place with others and hear about all the fun families have building lasting memories!
Why they chose this property
Arnold is an easy drive. Beautiful views, never traffic, not too far. We love the town, the hiking and outdoor fun opportunities, plus the intermittent snow! It's just at the right elevation to enjoy the beauty of a snow carpeted forest during the season, but not too much that a Sierra winter storm will hold you back from getting there.
What makes this property unique
The spectacular expansive forest views, close proximity to the Arnold Rim Trail, and comforts of a modern home. Also having a large garage, driveway parking space for up to 4 cars, and being able to pull right up to the front door to unload supplies (no steps on ground level).
