PLEASE NOTE:
Many other cabins in Arnold advertise a loft or game room as a bedroom. They lack heat/cool & don’t have smoke/CO alarms. They also lack privacy (no doors) making it difficult for multiple families on a vacation.
However, our cabin has 5 full bedrooms without any of the issues mentioned above. We have a separate game room too.

No stairs are needed to access the living room, family room, kitchen, 2 dining areas, the master bedroom suite with bathroom, the powder room (i.e. half bath), laundry area & our gorgeous decks. 

This 'main level living' is great if you have elderly people, kids, or members with disability or mobility challenges.

Our cabin has just 2 levels. That also makes our house extremely roomy & expansive - great for entertaining large groups and for family get-togethers.

▶︎ Other things to note
We team up with some awesome partners:
⦿ Airbnb.org: They help out during disasters by providing affordable and free housing.
⦿ National Forest Foundation: Together, we plant trees near Lake Tahoe to keep our forests thriving.
⦿ We also give back to the Carbon Fund and OneTreePlanted. They plant trees in the Sierra Nevada region's forests. It's our way of making a positive impact!

Our town is surrounded by the Stanislaus National Forest, which has a lot of wildlife. We do routine pest control, landscaping, and cleanings. However, bugs, critters, bats, and cobwebs are inevitable.

We have a BBQ grill but don't advertise it since we can't provide propane. You may use the grill if you bring your own propane. Some local stores like the Big Trees Market in Arnold have propane tanks. Please clean the grill if you use it.

Snow Removal
Arnold can receive a lot of snow within a few minutes. Please check the weather conditions before you arrive. Snow removal at check-in, checkout & during the stay is the guest's responsibility. Snow plowing service is an additional cost fulfilled by local snow plowers.
