Beautiful Cabin Nestled in Trees (Dogs welcome)

Our chalet is perched up in the canopies of the evergreens offering beautiful views all around and blissful solitude. This cabin offers strong wi-fi, central heating, full kitchen, 2-player indoor basketball, board games, books, smart speaker, and wood-burning fireplace -- ready to help you to make some beautiful memories with friends and family. Just minutes from Calaveras Big Trees SP, our place boasts easy access to hiking, swimming, and endless outdoor adventures! Up to 2 pets welcome. (A flat-fee of $100 for pet.)

The cabin has three levels.

The entrance level of the cabin has a unique wall and storage benches for ski gear and toys. This level has the master bedroom with full bath and the laundry room. The super fun basketball game for 2 players with digital scoreboard is on this level! The master bedroom room sleeps 4 -- 2 on the queen bed and 2 on the full-size futon.

The main level has a full kitchen, dining area, family area with a wood burning fireplace, a full bath, and two bedrooms.

Enjoy the many board games and books, play some tunes on the smart speaker, get some crackling fire going for s'mores in the wood-burning fireplace during winter or get grilling on the deck during summer, and enjoy some quality time with friends and family.

The outdoor space around the cabin is special -- endless snow fun during winter months -- snow sledding, snowball fights, and a little tree machan / pirate boat all year around.

Safety note: Children are welcome, but the cabin is NOT childproofed. Access to the loft in the cabin is using a stairway that is more like a ladder. The handrails start at the 5th rung of the ladder. Younger kids need to be closely supervised when getting up and down from the loft.

Winter/Spring Reservations:
Checking in November-April? There may be snow! At 5000 feet above sea level, we can get a lot (or no) snow. Visiting in the snow requires more planning, though we think it is well worth it.

When planning your visit with us during the winter, please consider the following:
1. You may need chains/4wd on Hwy 4 to get here. Check CalTrans to see road conditions.
2. We do keep our driveway plowed, but it has little bit of a grade and can be difficult to get up when slippery. You may need 4wd in slippery conditions .
3. Be sure to bring lots of wood for fires in the fireplace! The furnace works well for heating, but nothing beats a roaring fire for making the house cozy and for making s'mores.

Beautiful Cabin Nestled in Trees (Dogs welcome) offers its guests barbecue grills and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Arnold chalet is smoke free.
