Majestic Mountain

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Look no further: you’ve found the private mountain hideaway of your dreams, tucked into the pines. Inside the home, you’ll find a homey mountain aesthetic, complete with a wood stove. Solid acacia hand-scraped wood floors throughout the main living space. If the weather is nice, step onto the wraparound deck for your morning coffee before beginning breakfast prep. The quiet, rural setting will put you into vacation mode immediately.

This home is also dog-friendly, so if you’ve brought the family pup, take her for a walk in the neighborhood before your day begins. Back inside, the kitchen features granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and a Jen-Air downdraft stove, as well as all the gadgets and counter space you need to whip up something delicious. Eat together at the dining table for six, or keep it casual at one of the four barstools at the breakfast bar.

After you eat, head out to explore. There’s hiking, biking, snowmobiling, skiing, cross country skiing and more. If you prefer to stay home, a private ping pong table and dart board await in the garage.

After a full day out, return to your cozy nest and get that wood stove crackling. You’ve got free cable, a DVD player with a DVD library, six TVs, and streaming capabilities to keep you entertained. The lower level features an oversized sectional and tall table, perfect for a board game or cards if you’re looking for more together time, and the loft features a TV with a Playstation 2. However you choose to spend your evening in this spacious home, you can drift off to sleep knowing that today’s perfect vacation day will only be matched by tomorrow’s.

Perfect house, perfect setting!

Plenty of room for all of us and the third bathroom meant there was no waiting! The neighborhood and neighbors are all lovely. The state park with the big trees is just around the corner. I highly recommend!

Hot Cabin

Beautiful cabin, spacious, conveniently located. Would have been perfect if not visiting during the summer months. No portable cooling system or window coverings to keep the heat out. Too hot to enjoy. Definitely would visit again in another season.

Beautiful home

It was a beautiful home,check in was hard because it said to unlock the door on floor level, that key didn't work for that door, luckily my boyfriend figured let's try a different door, and it finally worked upstairs. Lower level floor was freezing, heating vent had pink insulation coming through it and the heat never came through so we didn't spend much time downstairs. Overall it was a nice stay.

Snow weekend

We had a nice weekend at the cabin. Went for a walk on a nearby forest road one day, and drove up to bear valley the second day for sledding. My only complaint would be that the house was 42 degrees when we arrived on Friday. It took 4+ hours to warm it up, with heater and wood stove. I was glad we got there earlier in the evening so we had time to warm the house, otherwise it would have made for a VERY cold first night!

Did not meet expectations

I would like to start with saying that my family and I did have a wonderful time despite the issues we encountered with the cabin. The place was in a great location and we were lucky enough to see some snow fall. With that being said, the cleanliness was sub par along with the amenities. We were without power for 24 hours during our trip and there were no candles and only one flashlight. Thankfully there was a fireplace but there wasn’t a lighter on sight . No water glasses to drink out of and no soap to wash the other dishes with. A very friendly lady named Jolene came with glasses and dish soap once it was addressed. The owners may want to address the cleanliness issue with the cleaning company. Other than those things, my family did enjoy the atmosphere and spending the weekend together.

Gone fishing!

Three of us stayed for three nights. We grew up going to Arnold, our parents had a cabin! We were very happy, didn’t use the downstairs, but we all had our own bathroom! Place was very clean and very quiet! Would definitely rent again!!

This house is not managed by an owner

Just wanting to warn potential travelers that "vacation rental by owner" (how Vrbo gets its initials) does not apply to this home. It is managed remotely by a HUGE property management company with 10s of thousands of properties for rent in many countries. There is zero cell service in Arnold other than Verizon, and the big management company only will communicate by text, so this means wifi cannot help you. When we arrived at this property--nice house, up a long STEEP driveway, covered in more than one foot of fresh snow--there was no way to get our all-wheel-drive vehicle up to the house. When I attempted to get someone through the Vrbo app to respond, there was an AI bot talking to me through the chat, giving nonsensical advice and answers to questions I did not have. By the time I found a working phone to call them, the person I spoke with was adamant that it's not their responsibility to clear snow to make the rental accessible. This is a rant because it really ruined the entire experience to be blown off like that. I have never rented through Vrbo and had to deal with a corporation instead of a homeowner. If it matters to you whether there is local, personal support, do not rent this property.

Big Trees Base Camp!

The house provided us a very peaceful and relaxing base for our visit to the Big Trees and surrounding areas. The neighborhood is quiet and if you're quiet and observant you can spot a fox foraging in the brush or fallen trees.
