About the host

Hosted by Lynn Starr

Host profile image
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).
