Beverly's Lakemont Pines cabin was perfect for our family of four's winter getaway. We all loved the wood burning stove and location by the lake. The communication and support Beverly provided was fantastic. We will definitely look to go back.

I was so pleased with how clean and tidy the cabin was upon entering! The property offered everything we were looking for: just yards away from miles and miles of hiking trails, to lake activities steps away, to restaurants and adventures within 15 minutes (or less) driving. You can “check out” kayaks, floaties and other things at the lake to use while there. Was exactly what we were hoping. The bed was very soft. (I’d much prefer that than too hard!) The kitchen has everything you could need for cooking, baking, grilling or cleaning. The host Beverly was swift to reply to any messages, extremely accommodating and very friendly. If you’re looking for a great home base for making your meals between adventures and hanging out at the lake or mountain trails, and not just sitting around a cabin watching TV, , then this is your spot!

Beautiful cabin in the woods

My husband and I loved this propery and hope to return since we love visiting Calavaras Big Trees State Park, and it's just up the road. We also enjoyed exploring the Arnold RIM Trail and other trails that are walking distance from the cabin. We found the cabin very comfortable and relaxing! Thanks for your hospitality!!

perfect little cabin

We booked the cabin for a quick getaway weekend for our family of 3 plus dog (lab). The house was immaculate, well stocked, and had updated appliances. Bonus for gas stove…woo woo. Just the right size for our crew and great location for easy out the door things (swimming,paddling and hiking the Rim Trail.) Close by car to lots of wonderful things. Communication with the host Beverley was excellent! We appreciated the flexible checkin and out. Really nice. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy Cabin, very down home feel

My family and I stayed at the cabin for 4 days during my daughter's winter break. It had everything we needed to manage the little ones, cook, relax, and have fun. There are many forest roads about 100 yards away for a morning hike. The local grocery was very close and convenient. The space is nice for a family with little ones. There was a creek running behind the cabin that the kids enjoyed walking down and there was a private lake with a playground that we got to explore.

Perfect

Lovely cabin in the woods. Extremely clean, has everything you need. Close to restaurants and a couple of grocery stores. Hiking trails walking distance from the cabin, a private lake for owners and guests. Best part of Arnold for me is the Calaveras Big Trees State Park. I go all the time, but it was so nice being so close. I'd absolutely stay here again and bring my family next time. Hostess, Beverley, is a wonderful and compassionate person. Very kind hearted. Ill never forget my week long trip. guests

Peace & Quiet

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cabin in the woods. It was nice to be somewhere where we could unplug and relax and enjoy each other's company and get away from the noise of city life. Having a full kitchen that was stocked with all the tools we needed to prepare meals was so nice. It allowed us the freedom to stay in since we were traveling with a dog. I will say if you are an AT&T customer you will lose cell service but the cabin wifi is fantastic and you can always connect up for updates. Verizon service works fine in the area. We know this because our personal phones are AT&T and my husband's work phone is Verizon. We enjoyed hiking the Arnold Rim Trail and at Calaveras Big Trees State Park and walking to the lake. The wood stove made the cabin cozy in the evening. Fantastic stay, five stars all around. :)

Lovely house, great location, so much to do!

My husband, my 12 year old son, and I had a great weekend. The house was spacious, clean, perfect for the 3 of us and our dog. The kitchen was well stocked and we ate breakfast and lunch at the house. It was amazing to walk out the door and enter the Arnold Rim Trail in less than 5 minutes. We hiked to Top of the World and Manual Peak. We visited the Sierra Nevada Logging Museum, Mercer Caverns, White Pines Lake, mini golf in Murphys…all within 15-20 mins of the house. We tried several great restaurants (Alchemy, Waterhole) in Murphys. We grabbed pie from Red Apple (fruit and dessert stand on highway 4 about 5 mins from house) but we did have to wait in line for 30 minutes…worth it! Lastly, Arnold and the surrounding areas were the most dog friendly places we’ve ever visited. Our dog was welcomed to every restaurant and even the logging museum. The only place he couldn’t come was Mercer Caverns. We made some great memories and we will be back!
