About this property

Old School Fun At Lake Mont Pines Creekside Cabin

Our Creekside cabin is the perfect escape for those looking to relax with some old-school fun. Great for one large family or multiple families. The cabin sits on a beautiful tree-filled lot with Cowell Creek winding through it. Cross the creek and you are standing in the Stanislaus National Forest with miles and miles of beautiful hiking and mountain biking trails. Follow the creek back a quarter mile and you are at Lake Mont Pines.

Relax by the fireplace in the living room and watch the snow fall through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Cook up a big pot of soup and pop some popcorn on the wood stove. Chill out in the bar and browse the 300+ vinyl collection (includes rock, jazz, classical, funk, blues).

Fun for the kids includes a large collection of games, puzzles, toys, a piano, and costumes. Relax on one of the decks among the 200 ft tall trees while the kids play in the creek, explore the back yard, or put on a play - the backyard includes a stage complete with stage lights for evening performances.

The two-story house has 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a family room, rec room, bar, large kitchen, and two fire places. Appliances include a washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, double oven, and grill. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and entertaining. The rental includes linens and towels, and free Wi-Fi.

A canoe is stored at the lake during summer months. Plus you have full access to the Lake Mont Pines rec center, a private beach with free activities including kayaks, paddle boats, shuffle board, sand toys, beach volleyball, and ping pong tables. Free Lake Mont Pines summer activities include outdoor movie nights, sand castle contests, and arts and crafts.

For winter fun we have sleds and snow shoes. The hill out the side door makes for great sledding, as do the fire roads across the creek.

Maximum 14 guests, pets ok (with restrictions), no smoking.

Awesome stay in the mountains
We loved this property! There was more than enough room for our large group with plenty to do. The kids loved playing in the creek while the adults enjoyed the extensive record collection. Proximity to the lake as well as hiking trails made for pleasant afternoon adventures. For those that needed internet, that was speedy as well and assisted nearly everyone that didn’t have cell coverage. Would stay here again!

This is the second time my family and friends have stayed at this property. The house itself is very spacious and accommodating for the amount of people in our group. All the amenities are there; including access to Lakemont Pines. We already plan to come back next summer.

Great house, lots of space for multiple families
Three families, all with kids 7-10 yrs old, stayed for the long presidents day weekend. House was easy to get to, driveway is not as steep as others in the area. Plenty of space for 3-4 cars when there isnt snow. 5 bedrooms with one being a kids room was perfect for our group (one of the bunk beds doesnt have a ladder so is a little hard for the kids to get up/down). 3 full bathroom made it easy to get ready. Kitchen was well stocked, has everything you need. The house itself is on the older side, as seen in the pictures. No TV, but does have a projector that the kids enjoyed watching a movie on. No garbage service though, need to carry everything out. Hosts are very responsive.

Beautiful, spacious, rockin’ cabin!
This is our second stay at this cabin and the whole family loved it! Clean, comfortable, furnished well, and plenty of space for all the adults/kids. The kids loved the outdoor area (zip line, tire swing, and so much nature to explore!). We all especially love all the instruments and music they have, lots of family jams were had! Can’t recommend this spot enough and look forward to our next visit :)

Pleasant Stay In Arnold
The setting is beautiful. The house has a great layout with separate areas for people to spread out. It’s stocked with everything you need for outdoor fun. Our grandchildren loved the zip line and playing some of the many games that were available. Cell phone service is sketchy.

This is our third time renting this cabin, we always get lucky that the cabin is available on the days that we need it. My family absolutely loves this cabin. Plenty of space for the kids to just relax, and enjoy the amenities. Kirsten & her husband are wonderful hosts, nothing to complain about them. We look forward to staying at their cabin in the near future.

Fun and cozy
When we first arrived we were blown away because of how beautiful it was! We had an amazing time because of all the activities we did in the house such as playing board games and listening to vynils . We had trouble setting up the electronic part however the owners were very amazing because of the help they provided with the projector. Overall, the stay was fun and cozy because we felt at home and we were in love with the view.

Wonderful cozy large house
My 30 plus family members held a pre Christmas reunion at a cabin our parents built for us at Lake Mont Pines. As one of seven children and our children we needed a large home to sleep 10 plus members and we found it here. Beautiful warm clean and well equipped place Thank you

Birthday celebration
My daughter likes to celebrate her birthday with family in a cabin every year. It's very hard to find a cabin thats wheelchair accessible. This house has some small steps to get in the cabin but I take my own ramps to help me get in and out. The host communication very fast and very helpful hope to be back soon .

Charming place to stay
We had an amazing stay in this cabin. Host allowed us early check in and departure. Kitchen has all supplies and spices you need and has a big table to sit a large group. We hiked Cougar Rock and Top of The World trails, and visited Mercer Caverns. Lake is just a few minutes away, and kids enjoyed kayaking. Next time we will stay longer than 4 days.
