About this property

Viva Bavaria, Adorable A-Frame!

Our classic A-Frame cabin is located less than 25mi from the Bear Valley Ski Resort and Lake Alpine. You’re close to the town of Arnold, yet tucked away among beautiful tall trees and 5,000ft altitude for excellent winter and nature experiences. Listen to the sounds of the forest - and nothing else - during mild summer evenings on the redwood deck, enjoy the Sierra skies with thousands of stars while sipping on a glass of wine and sitting in one of the provided Adirondack lounging chairs. You have the entire cabin to yourself and access to the onsite shed for extra storage space to store your skis and bikes. The home has just above 1,200 square feet of tastefully upgraded living space. You’ll appreciate the carefully designed blend of mid-century modern furniture, boho style elements and alpine touches in our original 1970’s A-Frame vacation home.

The cabin has three sleeping areas (two bedrooms and one loft), one full bathroom on the main living floor, an open kitchen, dining and living space and one half bathroom on the loft level. The upstairs beds can be arranged as a king-sized configuration or as two separate twin beds. Most mattresses have new memory foam toppers and European bedding for excellent sleeping comfort. A perfect retreat for one or two couples, single travelers, digital nomads (200MB internet speed), and families.

A wood burning fireplace and central heating will keep the cabin warm and comfortable during the cold winter nights. 2 TVs with Netflix, Youtube and Amazon Prime, an Xbox game console and a good selection of board games, puzzles and children’s books will keep you entertained.

The outside area of the house has a large, wrap-around outdoor deck with a gas BBQ, dining set and deck chairs. There is also a tree swing for kids (use at own risk). During the summer months, you'll have full access to Big Trees Village Recreational Center, which boasts bocce, pickleball, tennis & basketball courts, volleyball, ball field, frisbee golf, playground, picnic & bbq area, snack bar and 2 pools!

The main level of the house has two the bedrooms (1BR with a queen size bed, 1BR with a double bed), a full bathroom with a shower tub, and a combined living/dining area with a fully equipped kitchen (full-size fridge and stove/oven, coffee machine, crockpot, waffle iron, coffee grinder and blender). Upstairs is the lofted sleeping area with two twin beds (can also be moved together for a large king-size sleeping area) and a half bathroom.

Perfect Mountain Cabin!

Loved it! This cabin was perfect for our family vacation. Nicely stocked kitchen and plenty of linens. We spent every night out on the deck grilling and enjoying the woods. We would love to rent again in the winter!

Perfect forest getaway

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A beautiful cabin in the forest, everything you need for a relaxing vacation, clean and comfortable, quiet and relaxing. But only 15 mins drive to grocery stores, hiking trails and lakes for swimming- what more could you ask for! Just wonderful!

A wonderful cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A very cozy and stylish spot perfect for a small family. Kids loved all the toys provided. We stayed for a few nights in Feb, and were lucky to get snow in the backyard for snow play. Bear Valley Cross Country is 25mins away up a beautiful and well plowed road (AWD or chains though). The downhill skiing resort is another 5mins after that. There is a large supermarket Big Trees Market about 10mins away. We’d love to come back to this wonderful little cabin.
