Spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath cabin with the updated comforts of a modern home, tucked away in a quiet setting with spectacular views of the Stanislaus National Forest and close access to the Arnold Rim Trail (3 minute walk to trailhead for hiking, biking, and snowshoeing). Park, stay, relax and play!
Feel at home with a well-stocked kitchen including coffee makers (Kuerig mini, drip & French press), electric tea kettle, toaster, double oven, and ample tools for baking and cooking. Enjoy some family fun with table tennis, foosball, cornhole, puzzles and games galore. Perfect choice for a three to four family relaxing mountain getaway adventure!
General Description:
Cabin-themed bedrooms with comfy mattresses (linens provided). Four bedrooms, two and a half baths. One bedroom, the ‘Cub Cave’, is a double room perfect for a family or a place to gather all the kids. It has sleeping for up to six little cubs (twin over twin bunk, twin or full bunk, & twin trundle) with adjacent TV play area (w/twin futon). Enjoy expansive forest views, sunrise and sunset reflections from the living room, kitchen, Forest Vista bedroom and back deck!
The kitchen is fully stocked with gadgets to match all your cooking needs, including a toaster, blender, coffee maker & Keurig Mini, electric griddle, 7 qt Dutch oven, gas stove top, double oven, and microwave. In good weather, experience outdoor dining on the back deck, grilling with a Weber propane grill. Walk-in pantry for food storage and extra gear helps keep kitchen clutter-free during your stay.
Additional comforts and amenities include a high capacity washer/dryer in a separate laundry room, ample parking space, garage, and 220 Volt plug in garage (bring your own EV charging cables). Enjoy all season comfort with central air conditioning/heat, a whole house fan, and tankless hot water heaters (no running out of hot water!).
For indoor entertainment, the cabin has high speed X-Finity WiFi and basic cable service, 3 flat screen TV's, 2 with DVD players, high speed WIFI, and lots of card decks and board games. Outdoor fun includes a corn hole game set, 2 mountain bikes & helmets. The game area and garage houses foosball and ping pong table as well as various snow sleds and discs. *Note: Cell service may be spotty up to the cabin (true for all of the Arnold area; depends on your cell service carrier), but WiFi is strong once logged in at the house.

Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish

There are 4 thermostats that control A/C and central heat (Upstairs; main floor; downstairs - primary bedroom room & Cub Cave). Please turn them all to 'off' when you leave.
Upon leaving, make sure fire coals have burned down and the door is closed. DO NOT add water into the wood stove. DO NOT remove hot ashes - they are safest in stove with a closed door.

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).
