About this house rental
Lakemont Cottage: The perfect cabin to relax and warm-up after a long day of skiing or hiking. Only a 5 minute walk to the private Lakemont Pines Lake. The cabin is less than 200 feet to the base of the Stanislaus National Forest, and the newly established ART (Arnold Rim Trail), with over 20 miles of excellent hiking and exploring. The private Lakemont Pines Lake is OPEN, has a sandy beach area, lifeguard, kayaks, playground, pedal boats, horseshoes, and events in summer for children. You can bring your own kayaks or SUP's, borrow them from "The Stuff Shed" at the lake, during the summers, or rent them at the SNAC Store in Arnold, which is a short 1/2 mile away.
2 Bedroom, 1 Bath, 1000 sq. ft. - Charming, clean, light and peaceful. Cabin is newly furnished with a Zen-like feel. Located on a beautiful, wooded lot in the much desired Lakemont Pines area of Arnold. This is an excellent location for hiking, snowshoeing and relaxing in nature.
Cabin has 2 bedrooms with queen beds (one bedroom has a queen bed with a twin bed in the loft area), as well as a sofa an a double futon in living room. Cabin includes WIFI, cable TV in Living Room, DVD player, and all kitchen amenities. There are plenty of games and puzzles for fun and relaxation. We have continued to ask guests to bring their own bath towels (which we implemented during covid). We have not raised our rates for a decade, and it is one way we have kept our rates low. (There are plenty of blankets, comforters, kitchen towels!). The cabin is THOROUGHLY sanitized before each guest checks in.
Cabin has 2 decks overlooking our private wooded lot, complete with patio furniture and a gas BBQ. There is a parklike setting in the rear of the cabin, where there is a table, chairs and umbrella, as well as two adironadack chairs by the stream, when running. Cabin is equipped with a wall furnace, NEW electric heaters in bedrooms and bathroom, and a NEW gas fireplace in living room, surrounded by a river rock hearth.
Arnold is located in Calaveras County in the beautiful Sierra Foothills between historic Murphy's town and Bear Valley. It's an easy drive and only 2.5 hours from the Bay Area.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
The positives--the beds were comfortable-the home was clean-the kitchen was very well stocked-the location was perfect-hiking very close by and silent evenings-Beverley responded quickly to all of my questions/concerns both before & after my stayThe areas of growth (as we say in education)--the entire house has a musty, rustic smell to it, that unfortunately clung to my belongings when I returned home.-the screen door in living room was broken, which made it hard to air out the place after a hot day, without also letting in insects-there were strange black droppings in electric kettle (looked like mouse poop, but I am not even sure how that could be possible), so I had to use a pot to boil water-There was an off-putting/unusual smell in the coffee maker- even after running water through multiple times, then vinegar, then water again multiple times. I wasn’t sure what it was and the smell would have ruined the taste of coffee, so I couldn’t make coffee. -I found a child’s onesie/outfit found behind the couch cushion..which made me wonder how thoroughly the place had been cleanedI shared the areas of growth with Beverley, and I am sure they were addressed (except the smell of the place, that’s probably just what it smells like and most people might not even notice it- I am scent sensitive). None of the above ruined a lovely stay here.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was clean. The host was exceptional. It was easy to get in touch with her. We were close to our favorite town, and enjoyed tastings.

Great little house in our favorite neighborhood. I was a bit worried about not having AC, but it is so shaded that it was beautifully cool all day! The backyard is just a beautiful, peaceful treed space, and it is right next to the Arnold Rim Trail, which was perfect for morning hikes. I would note for those booking that there is no washer/dryer. They are not listed as amenities (so nothing was incorrect or wrong!), but I did not specifically check, as most places have them. Our stay was short enough that it was not an issue, but just a note to those staying a while (which I would love to do!)Beverly was great, and I hope to be back!
