Romantic Winter Cabin:Wood Stove, Scenic Views, Wood Stove

Get away from it all and find yourself tucked away amongst towering pine trees in this adorable lofted A-frame cabin! Even the most design-oriented guests will be spoiled in this getaway, as the wood stove creates a classic centerpiece for the main room and is backed by floor-to ceiling windows that allow an abundance of natural light to flood into the space. Fresh air won't be hard to come by, as a spacious deck awaits with a table set for four to enjoy morning cups of coffee or evening cocktails as the sun goes down. When you work up an appetite after a day of hiking nearby, the full kitchen with well stocked pantry is more than ready to assist in preparing tasty recipes with a full-size fridge, an electric stove/oven, and a microwave oven. Or if you'd like there is a gas grill available. Plus, the free WiFi and flatscreen TV will be perfect for entertaining. Though this home is perfectly secluded to give you some much needed privacy, you will have easy access to Highway 4, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, North Fork of Stanislaus River, Bear Valley Ski Resort, and several snow parks. It is walkable to The Lube Room Pub, and Camp Connell General Store.

WINTER Preparedness:
The cabin has a steep driveway, and can be slippery during the winter. We provide partial snow removal services for the driveway and make every attempt to have the driveway plowed prior to your stay. However, the main highway and roads are maintained by CalTrans and the county. It can result in some delays for private snow removal companies to access the house. 4X4 vehicle and/or tire chains will be required during winter. It is highly recommended to have access to offline maps for directions in the event of power outages causing loss of internet connection. Snow shovels are provided and available by the entrance to the cabin for guests to access the front door and the deck safely. During snow season, street parking is not permitted. Doing so may put your vehicles at risk of being damaged by the snow plow or risks being towed. For up to date road/traffic conditions, pls refer to Cal Trans Website.
