About this property

Views!! Jetted-Tub, Backyard Snow Sledding, King Bed, Shuffleboard, Generator

WELCOME
Welcome to the cabin with best views in all of Arnold. This bright and open-feeling luxury home is nestled near the peaks of the Sierra Mountains. We have an unobstructed 80-mile views of the North Fork Stanislaus River valley. We have no cabins behind us. Instead, we have miles of open forest to hike and enjoy. We also have a great hillside for sledding where we provide 4-6 sleds and saucers for our guests to enjoy. You can watch the kids build snowmen or sled down the hill while you enjoy a glass of wine by the wood burning stove. During the summer time, enjoy a BBQ meal on the deck, or engage in a game of shuffleboard, or cozy up around the wood burning stove, or soak in the oversized jetted tub. Your stay at Pine View Lodge will be pleasantly quiet as we are located on a quiet road with virtually no neighbors in view. There are many nearby places of interest to visit for family entertainment and exploration such as Big Trees State Park (5 min), Stanislaus River (11 min), Moaning Caverns (25), Bear Valley (25 min), and Lake Alpine (30 min).. Or, you can simply enjoy the views and surrounding beauty without ever leaving the property.
The home is equipped with an all-house generator, ensuring there won't be any interruption of your family vacation from power outages due to wind storms, downed power lines, or snow storms.

Further adventures await as this property is only minutes from quaint towns, wineries, rivers, lakes, and ski resorts.

HANDICAP FRIENDLY
We are one of only a handful of properties having no stairs to navigate to the front door. The driveway pulls right up to the front door. There is a queen room on the entry-level floor making it easy to enjoy the house without climbing stairs. Access to the great views from the backyard deck also requires no stairs or steps. The house is handicap and wheelchair friendly. Elderly individuals will find the home easy to navigate and enjoyable to vacation in.

KITCHEN
The kitchen is larger than most cabin kitchens making it easy to cook large meals and serve large families. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, cookware, baking pans, and spices. We have the following kitchen items: rice cooker, crock pot, waffle maker, electric griddle, cast iron pans, frying pans, roasting pans, medium and large pots, strainers, drip coffee maker, coffee grinder, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, oven, and stove,

OUTDOOR BACK DECK
There is also an outdoor propane BBQ for those who want to BBQ while taking in the great views. Full set of BBQ utensils are provided.

KING ROOM
The King Room is situated upstairs with its own private balcony looking out over the forest tree tops giving an unobstructed 50-mile view down the Stanislaus Valley. The room is decorated in a fly fishing theme and features antique bamboo fly rods and a 4' x 6' stained glass window of the Stanislaus river valley. The indoor sitting area allows you sip your first cup of coffee while taking in the great views. Or, if the weather is agreeable, you can sit out on the balcony to also enjoy the great pine aroma. The upstairs bathroom has dual sinks, additional counter space, large glass shower, and an oversized jetted-tub.

QUEEN ROOM
The Queen Room is downstairs with its own bathroom and may appeal to either older or handicapped individuals who want to avoid climbing stairs. The bathroom is next to the Queen room.

EVENING ACTIVITIES
During the evenings you can gather around the outside fire pit to listen to the crackling fire for making family memories. Or, if the weather dictates, gather inside around the wood-burning stove and sip hot chocolate. There are also board games and toys for the kids to enjoy.

WI-FI and DIGITAL MEDIA
Our Wi-Fi runs at 450+ GB/sec. You can use the private desk area to catch-up on last minute work items or download your favorite movies or songs. We also have a new LG Smart TV & DVD player with a wide selection of movies for kids, families, or adults. Most movies are rated either G or PG. Recently, we added an Xbox system. Please be sure to bring your own Xbox discs.

SNOW SEASON
There is no need to pack up the car and travel somewhere to enjoy the snow. During the snow season, many families stay at the home and use the sloping backyard hillside to build their own sled runs. During the snow season of 2023, the sled run was more than 100 feet long. Kids and parents enjoyed it immensely. We have many sleds and saucers available for use for free. There is a mud-room where snow-covered kids can change into warmer clothes without trampling snow and debris throughout the cabin.

POOL - GAMES - ETC
We also belong to the Big Trees Village HOA (3 minutes away) where you have access to swimming pools, Foosball, pong pong, shuffleboard, billiards, air hockey etc. Check times and seasons for when they are open. (The HOA is open from Memorial Day till Labor Day)

WHEN IT'S TIME
When its time to book a get-a-way, we hope you choose The Pine View Lodge.
I always have a complimentary bottle of wine on the counter awaiting your arrival just to say "Welcome".

Warm Regards,
Gary and Cathy

About the host

Hosted by Gary

Host profile image
My wife and I live in South San Jose and absolutely love to get out of the bay area to the trees and rivers that adorn the Arnold and Dorrington area. We love hosting other families to enjoy the excellent mountain views and towering tree lines surrounding the cabin. I am an avid fisherman so I took this opportunity to decorate the master bedroom in a fly-fishing theme. My wife decorated the lower bedroom to appeal to a softer demeanor. Both rooms are pleasant and comfortable.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is situated at the top of the mountain providing 50-mile views of the Stanislaus national forest and neighboring snow-covered mountains. This special property is a perimeter lot where it borders the national forest, creating unobstructed views with few neighbors. The other cabins are far enough away to give you a feeling of privacy and solitude.

What makes this property unique

Most driveways in the area are steep and typically one-way, making it difficult and sometimes dangerous navigating it in the snow or rain. Our pull-thru driveway is flat and pulls straight up to the front door. This means you pull in from one direction and drive forward out to the main road. You'll be thankful that there is no need to back-up down a steep driveway. You'll also be glad that there are no stairs to climb as you unload your car and carry your luggage into the home. The street has little to no traffic. This makes it safe for children and adults, alike.
Special care was take designing this home, ensuring a great number of windows to let in natural light and the beautiful surroundings. A most noteworthy design element is the 6' x 4' stained-glass window in the master bedroom, designed by a local artist depicting the Stanislaus River and forest. It is a one-of-a-kind work of art.

The sloped backyard is perfect for sledding. Every snow season, families staying at the cabin have commented that they prefer to build a sled run going down the backyard slope rather than pile in the car and head up Hwy-4 where the crowds gather to play in the snow. From the cabin, you can sit by the fire and drink coffee while watching the kids play in the snow from the living room window. There is a master bedroom balcony that provides even better views.

The loft has the very popular shuffleboard table, a game table for playing board games or coloring or putting together puzzles, and a plethora of board games.

Downstairs:
We added a new 50" LG Smart TVand DVD player for gathering the family together to view movies and eat popcorn. There are over 60 movies to choose from (Disney movies, Action & Adventue, Kid's Animation movies, Romance & Chick flicks, and Comedy movies).

In 2024, we added an outdoor fire pit for roasting marshmallows with the kids and grandparents.

Or, relax in the jetted-tub located in the master bathroom.
