Located in Arnold, this welcoming cottage lets you experience it all. Sequoia Woods Country Club and Golf Course is an easy 14-minute walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 5-minute drive to Calaveras Big Trees State Park.

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the patio; you may also like the BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and video-game console.

As you settle into this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental, you'll find a fireplace, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.

Families will appreciate the free crib at this property. There is also a game room to enjoy.
