Look no further: you’ve found the private mountain hideaway of your dreams, tucked into the pines. Inside the home, you’ll find a homey mountain aesthetic, complete with a wood stove. Solid acacia hand-scraped wood floors throughout the main living space. If the weather is nice, step onto the wraparound deck for your morning coffee before beginning breakfast prep. The quiet, rural setting will put you into vacation mode immediately.
This home is also dog-friendly, so if you’ve brought the family pup, take her for a walk in the neighborhood before your day begins. Back inside, the kitchen features granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and a Jen-Air downdraft stove, as well as all the gadgets and counter space you need to whip up something delicious. Eat together at the dining table for six, or keep it casual at one of the four barstools at the breakfast bar.
After you eat, head out to explore. There’s hiking, biking, snowmobiling, skiing, cross country skiing and more. If you prefer to stay home, a private ping pong table and dart board await in the garage.
After a full day out, return to your cozy nest and get that wood stove crackling. You’ve got free cable, a DVD player with a DVD library, six TVs, and streaming capabilities to keep you entertained. The lower level features an oversized sectional and tall table, perfect for a board game or cards if you’re looking for more together time, and the loft features a TV with a Playstation 2. However you choose to spend your evening in this spacious home, you can drift off to sleep knowing that today’s perfect vacation day will only be matched by tomorrow’s.

Great value for spacious cabin
-We loved this place! Very spacious, clean, comfortable and ideally located between Murphys wine trail and ski slopes at Bear Valley! Can use new furnishings, but overall great value!
Great property with plenty of space and nice bathrooms as well. My husband and I went for our 1 year wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. We'll be staying there again! Loved the wood burning stove, worked like a charm.

Beautiful surroundings
The layout of this house is very convenient for larger groups. It is in a gorgeous area. Be aware there is a steep driveway up to the house.
The cabin was great. Nice areas for kids to play in the snow. It was nice to cook in the kitchen. Lots of beds for a lot of peoples! I would stay here again!

Big Trees Base Camp!
The house provided us a very peaceful and relaxing base for our visit to the Big Trees and surrounding areas. The neighborhood is quiet and if you're quiet and observant you can spot a fox foraging in the brush or fallen trees.
Super cozy mountain house with all the amenities. Comfortable beds, plenty of living space for two families, ultra clean. Close to Bear Valley. Loved bringing our furry friend along! Would definitely visit again.
Home was very well kept and clean. However, because it is pet friendly, the downstairs especially smelt like dog pee. I think they may need to replace the rug in the very downstairs living room. We didnt spend anytime in that room due to the overwhelming smell of urine. Other than that, the home was great!!!
The Home was beautiful and spacious for 6 adults! The refrigerator was spotless and clean! The kitchen was great and stocked with cooking equipment.... In the pictures you will see a foosball table ( it is destroyed and has been for quite awhile 😢) The ping pong table in the garage is on it's last leg 😢. The AC hardly works 😭😭😭.... Definitely worth going for a fall vacation or winter time... Definitely Not Summer
I would like to start with saying that my family and I did have a wonderful time despite the issues we encountered with the cabin. The place was in a great location and we were lucky enough to see some snow fall. With that being said, the cleanliness was sub par along with the amenities. We were without power for 24 hours during our trip and there were no candles and only one flashlight. Thankfully there was a fireplace but there wasn’t a lighter on sight . No water glasses to drink out of and no soap to wash the other dishes with. A very friendly lady named Jolene came with glasses and dish soap once it was addressed. The owners may want to address the cleanliness issue with the cleaning company. Other than those things, my family did enjoy the atmosphere and spending the weekend together.
Very comfortable house with excellent amenities. The three level helped with separate space for kids and adults. Kitchen was adequately stocked and beds were conformable. The place was clean when we checked-in.

Three of us stayed for three nights. We grew up going to Arnold, our parents had a cabin! We were very happy, didn’t use the downstairs, but we all had our own bathroom! Place was very clean and very quiet! Would definitely rent again!!

Good place to stay.
The bedrooms were a good size and the master was very nice. The main room was large and the kitchen was well equipped.
