Arnold - Cozy Cabin

Great basecamp for your summer or winter adventures along Highway 4. Right across from a grocery store and a Tesla supercharger, a duck pond, and Arnold Rim trail. Cozy fireplace, some books and games, and a hammock to let you unwind after busy days. All new appliances in December 2024.

There are two small rooms with queen beds and two simple cots you can put in the living room (please bring pillows for the cots; queen beds have pillows).

Cell coverage only exists for Verizon customers in Arnold. The cabin has wifi.

Please bring your bed sheets, towels, and toiletries. There is no laundry machine.
No outdoor fires are allowed.
Please keep the screen over the fireplace when using it. Only you can prevent wildfires and housefires.

Cozy and convenient spot to explore from

This was our 2nd stay at this cabin and it was as cozy and convenient as our first visit almost exactly 5yrs ago. We found a hike nearby and took kids to Mercer Caverns. Great location for all things in the Arnold/Murphys area. Everything worked great at the cabin, and we look forward to returning!

Cozy cabin for a weekend getaway

Great little cabin in a good location in Arnold with easy access to the market and other locations in town. Had everything we needed and stayed cool even with temps in the 90's. Appreciated the firm mattress!

Nice two day stay

We are a family of three with a kid at 4. And we spent a good family time at this lovely cabin during the President's day long weekend. The location is close to the grocery market and restaurants which are ideal for family and there is a supercharge station right across the road.This cabin is their vacation or ski home, I'd assume. They store nearly everything a family would need for kitchen and living space. It is secure and lovely to stay. Enjoy the woods while being in a community.

nice cozy cabin...

The cabin was as advertised. We appreciated the low cleaning fee and did not mind at all bringing our own sheets and towels. Wifi and TV worked well. Location worked for us. The only improvement would be a better stocked kitchen.

The most comfortable cabin ever

Booked a weekend for a Stanislaus trip and was not disappointed! I was very glad to find this little cozy cabin, which was everything I was hoping it would be; comfortable, safe and private. Natalie is an incredible welcome host and keeps a wonderful property, as well as provides practically everything we could have needed on the trip. Seriously, if you're on the fence about this lovely little cabin, just book it and come see for yourself. I will definitely be coming back in the future for some ski trips.

Cozy, comfortable and clean.

Feels like home cabin. Great location (in a woods but very close to the road and grocery store), affordable price because of no humongous cleaning fee added to it. I would rather bring my own sheets then pay additional couple of hundred dollars for cleaning. The property owner Natalia is very sweet lady with great sense of humor. Cabin is clean and has everything and anything possible to have a worry free stay.

Cabin family get away

Easy to reserve. Has everything we needed to have an excellent get away with the kids. Came during a hot spell. Cabin was extra warm because of skylights. We cooled off at white pine lake which was less than 10 mins from house. Beautiful swim spot. Walking distance to grocery store. We will come again. Thank you!

Great little cabin within walking distance of the grocery store

It's my second time staying here and I love it. Two bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed. Dining room table big enough for us to have a puzzle going during our getaway and eat dinner at the table. Great patio/deck that gets sunshine - which is lovely in the spring/winter time. It really is a cozy little cabin for the right group. No dishwasher, but plenty of cookware and dishes. I will definitely be back.

Wonderful year after year

This is our second stay at this lovely Arnold cabin, and the title of “cozy” is quite accurate. The weather fared nice so it was not too hot (wouldn’t be anyways due to the shaded neighborhood). The proximity to hiking trail, lakes and the nearby store was extremely convenient. Hardware provided for cooking and cleaning (if ever needed) and the host in incredibly friendly and responsive. If this is your first cabin or first Vrbo renting, this is the best place to start with, in location, property and host. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay in the Arnold area. Whatever doubts you have, cast them aside because this is the only cabin you could ever need for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful Cabin

Check-in instructions were sent promptly. Remember to take a screenshot before you arive due to lack of cell service in area. Cabin was clean and well decorated, cool library collection. Kitchen had some things in the cabinets but the Freeze was clean. Grocery and amazing pizza just across the street. We drove up the road and found awrsome sledding in Bear Valley. Also it snowed at the cabin the first night. Good owner communication also.
