Ideal Arnold cabin

Hardly a cabin, it’s a great second home, well furnished, well stocked, great views off the back deck and a very caring owner. This was our second stay and hope to return for a third soon.

Beautiful Cabin. Wonderful views

This property was wonderful! We went with our whole family for an annual trip. This house was comfortable and well stocked. The Cub Cave was great for the kiddos and gave them their own private place to relax. Beds were comfy and fans in all rooms was a plus! Would definitely recommend.

I have stayed in many Vrbo homes in many places, this was one of the BEST. It had everything one would need and so much more for our entire family. The owner was so easy to communicate with and check in was easy. There are so many things to do in the area. There was a great 4th of July parade near by. We really appreciated being able to stay in this home.

Arnold Cabin

Me and my friends and Family started a tradition of going to snow or cabin for a weekend. This was our second stay in Arnold and we all loved Sandra’s property. The location was awesome. You do loose a little reception but Sandra did give a heads up before we went so o was able to have others I drove with leave it on their navigation as well. The cabin is away from neighbors with big safe parking. The cabin had more than we expected. Bunch of things that were provided that didn’t need to be. Thank you! It was super clean and we all enjoyed our stay and felt cozy and relaxed in the living room with the fireplace lit. Would recommend this property!

Family fun

The place and location were great! The entrainment (table tennis/foosball) was a great addition to the home. Place was clean and modern. The rooms were great, the instructions were simple, and the view was amazing. We had a really great time and I highly recommend this location for a family getaway.

Lovely place to stay in Arnold.

This property was lovely. We stayed with the maximum allowed members (3 couples, 1 single, and 7 kids age 5 through 12) and everyone enjoyed themselves. It was perfect. Kids loved all the games as well as ping pong in the garage. Adults enjoyed a good puzzle after a day in the mountains. Beds were comfortable, honestly I think we could have still slept more comfortably due to how spacious it was. 10/10 would love to return and stay.

Perfect place for a family gathering

As a family that has visited the Arnold area for the past twenty some years, this cabin is by far the best experience we have had. The unit is incredibly well equipped and maintained. The views are breathtaking from the back deck and for hikers there is an entry to the Arnold Rim trail leading to the ‘top of the world’. Great hosts ! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Starr

Host profile image
We live in the nearby Lodi area and aren't able to get up to enjoy the cabin ourselves as often as we'd like. We love being able to share our happy place with others and hear about all the fun families have building lasting memories!

Why they chose this property

Arnold is an easy drive. Beautiful views, never traffic, not too far. We love the town, the hiking and outdoor fun opportunities, plus the intermittent snow! It's just at the right elevation to enjoy the beauty of a snow carpeted forest during the season, but not too much that a Sierra winter storm will hold you back from getting there.

What makes this property unique

The spectacular expansive forest views, close proximity to the Arnold Rim Trail, and comforts of a modern home. Also having a large garage, driveway parking space for up to 4 cars, and being able to pull right up to the front door to unload supplies (no steps on ground level).
