Very nice updated cabin. Quiet area, short distance to Lake Alpine or Arnold. The cabin has heat and air conditioning and comes fully stocked. Plenty of room and a fenced area for dogs.

A comfy cabin in a woodsy quiet neighborhood, close to Lake Alpine and trails and close enough to Arnold. And having the enclosed yard was great for our dog.

Such a magical little cabin! My husband and 5-yr old daughter loved staying at the Sugar Pine Chalet. Appreciate the cleanliness of the space and creativity/care put into the decor. Kind and responsive hosts. We are so grateful for the fond memories made. The morning light through the quiet snowy trees was everything.

Great Cabin

We had a great time at the cabin with family. It was comfy and tucked away into the trees. Close to Calaveras Big Trees park which was magnificent to see.

The cabin is great, very comfortable and cozy. An added plus was being able to bring our pup and the fenced area for him to be safe in. A lot to do in the surrounding area. Only ping I would give is if you want to use the wood stove or fire pit bring your own wood as there was none at the house. We had a great weekend.

We had a fantastic stay at the Sugar Pine Chalet! This cabin is wonderful - cozy yet modern, tastefully decorated, and well equipped with everything you need. We loved making s'mores by the fire pit, cooking in the well-organized kitchen, dining on the deck under the bistro lights, and enjoying the comfy living room. Dog owners will love this place, as it has a fenced in area attached to the home's deck that is great if you bring a dog. Hosts were easy to communicate with and gave us great suggestions of what to do with kids when our plans to ski were crushed due to a heat wave. We can't wait to visit again next year when there is snow, or to come back in summer to enjoy the rivers and lakes nearby!

Sugar pine challet is in the perfect location for easy ski trips to Bear Valley, Big trees, and hiking. There is an enchanting fire circle area with bistro lights. The general store is super close for anything you may have forgotten. The fenced yard is perfect for allowing your fur baby some freedom to run out energy. The size is perfect for 6 people, and clean and comfortable!! We enjoyed our stay so much I'm already checking my calendar for when we can go back!

Cozy cabin for a great time!

Daniel was responsive and check in and out were easy. We appreciated the driveway plowed as we arrived right after a storm. The cabin is cozy and beautiful views from the living room. We loved being near Arnold and Bear Valley for skiing.

Perfect peaceful Getaway!

This place was ideal for me, my wife, and our dog! We came here for our five-year anniversary and had such a great time. There is great hiking, food, and fun in the area but my favorite thing was to read my book on the deck and bask in the sounds of the trees and birds. We are 100% coming back.

Peaceful and comfortable

What a great place to relax, visit and take quiet walks. The beds were comfortable, and we slept well. We used the kitchen to cook and used the barbeque. The surroundings are breathtaking. The lake at Snowshoe Springs is a real treat. It was a little chilly for swimming when we were there but would be so much fun in the summer. Just a real wonderful long weekend. Thank you for sharing your home!

The property was fairly new, well kept and maintained. A few minor things are that the upstairs bathroom had a clogged bathtub and the door to go out to the patio is very hard to slide. Other than those 2, everything else worked and maintained well

A relaxing week in the woods

We were 2 couples and stayed for a week. The cabin had everything we needed. No AC but we could cool it down at night with all the windows open and the 3 fans that were provided. Its a few degrees cooler than Arnold as it's about 1000 feet higher. Very quiet on the weekdays with few neighbors at home.

PERFECT SNOWY GETAWAY!

Daniel's place was perfect for our family of four (spouse, young adult daughter and teen son) plus our maltipoo pooch. It's located on a cul de sac street so there was no traffic at all driving by. We immediately felt right at home! The house was well decorated, clean, great natural lighting from all the windows, and comfortable. Every room has wall heaters so in the winter it's able to get nice and toasty warm. The driveway is not steep, so easy to drive up. Having a LARGE fenced in area for our dog is a big plus, though for this trip with all the snow, we played well beyond the boundaries of the fence. The house is perfectly located in the middle of everywhere you'd want to go, whether it's further up the mountain to to Lake Alpine/Bear Valley Ski Resort and sledding parks, or down to Big Trees park or Arnold for groceries. We had a few questions here and there, and Daniel responded promptly to all of them. We'll definitely be returning!

Overall it’s a great place. Decorated well, nice furnishings. Bathrooms were very clean, as was the kitchen. Pet friendly, loved the fenced in yard and deck so we did not have to worry about our dog getting out. The beds were clean and comfortable but small. Would have liked a queen or bigger in the master lofted room because it was so spacious. Kitchen was well stocked, but an electric kettle for hot water would have been a huge plus. To make tea or French press coffee we had to use the small stove kettle and it wasn’t great. Loved the wood burning stove - really helped create the cozy atmosphere. The main heating in the house was a little confusing to use but we managed to get it working. I wish there had been more overhead lighting, especially in the kitchen. But the bedrooms as well weren’t well lit and even in the day time we needed to have lights on.The neighborhood is very quiet but easy to get to. It is a solid 15 minutes from Arnold and 30 from Murphy’s. It was nice to feel like you are in the woods but you can still see neighbors so it felt safe. The host was super responsive to messages which was great!

Needs Maintenance

Light bulbs were burnt out at the kitchen and dining room table. We ended up replacing 3 bulbs. The dining room fixture is in need of repair. One of the lamps did not work in the lower bedroom. The barbeque did not get hot enough, and we could not cook on it. 3 cooking utensils were dirty in the drawer. The cooktop was greasy and needed to be cleaned. The cover for the garbage disposal was missing. Lighting throughout the cabin was poor and made reading difficult. Light switches in the bedrooms did not turn on lights. There was only one pillowcase when we arrived.
