There is rarely traffic heading up to Arnold. Just 2.25 hours from Walnut Creek, 2.75 hours from SF, and 3 hours from Marin.* Once on Highway 4, the drive is beautiful. Our cabin is located in the Lake Mont Pines subdivision of Arnold, tucked in between Tahoe and Yosemite. This is truly the best spot in Arnold (and the Sierras in general) for a home base. The property is a gentle downslope lot, which makes the entire lot very usable. Bring a football to throw in the yard, relax in the hammock, or enjoy s'mores or grilling on the deck. Many cabins in the area don't have usable yards, so ours is special! There are only 2 steps to entry, making our cabin more accessible to those with limited mobility or little ones. Once inside, there are no barriers to access the open-concept common areas, two bedrooms and a full bathroom if stairs are limiting for you or a loved one. Access the loft (3rd bedroom) by 12 steeper stairs with a handrail. Little ones should be monitored when going up/down the stairs (bring a baby gate if you need to). Once upstairs, it's a wonderland for kids & teens with foosball, games, books, TV lounge, and enough beds to sleep four. Guests are welcome to enjoy the private Tanner Lake, only available to Lake Mont Pines residents. 8 lake tags and 2 parking passes are included with your stay. *Note- there is a $50 fee for each lost lake tag and $100 fee for each lost parking pass Lake amenities such as snack bar, free equipment rentals, and daily activities are only available from Father's Day weekend until Labor day weekend.
