Relax with the whole family at Lilac Cabin located in peaceful woods just a short walk to downtown Arnold where you can find restaurants and shops. It is only 1.3 miles to White Pines Lake and Arnold Rim Trails. 6mins drive takes you to Big Tree State Park, 15mins to Murphy for wine tasting and fine meals, around 28 miles to Lake Alpine and Bear Valley Ski Resort. Adventure into Stanislaus National Forest conveniently or simply lounge in the deck couch breathing fresh air and enjoy your time.
The cozy Lilac Cabin has three levels with a deck surrounded by trees. The front entrance opens into the living room, with access to the kitchen and a full bathroom. There is a sofa couch with a queen-sized pullout bed and two expandable tables on the same level. Upstairs is a loft suite with a king bed, a desk, and a full bathroom. If you have a baby, there is a pack & play crib with crib bedding provided in the main level closet. Two additional bedrooms with trundle beds and queen beds respectively as well as another full bathroom are located on the lowest level separated from the living room by a door, hallway, and a stairwell, which provides great privacy if more than one family is sharing the cabin. There is a second workstation and an electronic keyboard in the hallway. The cabin has an in-house, full-sized washer and dryer for your use. We make sure all our beds are comfortable with high quality new memory foam mattresses, new cotton sheets with high thread counts, and new duvets & pillows. All bathrooms are fully stocked with new soft towels. There is high speed internet throughout the cabin, a Roku Smart TV with free Netflix, a smart speaker with Alexa, and smart controls for heaters and the propane fireplace.
Our cabin is on a hill with a ramp and stairs to access the deck and the entry door. It is not wheelchair accessible and is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties or serious health conditions. During the snow season, the public roads are plowed. Once entering the private property, plow service is only active when there is snow over 4 inches. If you come in the winter, please have the necessary accessories ready for snow and ice including chains, snow boots, and relevant clothing. Be very careful when walking on the ramps and stairs in the winter as they can be slippery.
We strongly recommend that you print or download the address and the access code of the smart lock before heading here, as AT&T has very little cell phone coverage in Arnold. Verizon has a decent signal in Arnold. In Bear Valley, it is the opposite. AT&T generally has signal near the main lodge in Bear Valley, but Verizon has little coverage. Our cabin has high-speed internet and Wi-Fi that covers the whole house and close surrounding area.
Pets allowed on request ONLY for an extra charge of USD 150 per pet, per stay.
Other things to note
The natural ecology is well maintained here. The environment is far away from dense populations, which means that wildlife is spotted in the area occasionally such as bears, cougars, raccoons, bobcats, coyotes, skunks, and deer. Please do not leave young kids outside unattended and avoid walking in woods without taking precautions. Please do not approach any wild animals if you see any. To avoid attracting wild animals to our property, we do not have a garbage bin outside.
