Lilac Cabin Family-Friendly with Highspeed Wi-Fi Close to Downtown Arnold

Relax with the whole family at Lilac Cabin located in peaceful woods just a short walk to downtown Arnold where you can find restaurants and shops. It is only 1.3 miles to White Pines Lake and Arnold Rim Trails. 6mins drive takes you to Big Tree State Park, 15mins to Murphy for wine tasting and fine meals, around 28 miles to Lake Alpine and Bear Valley Ski Resort. Adventure into Stanislaus National Forest conveniently or simply lounge in the deck couch breathing fresh air and enjoy your time.

The space
The cozy Lilac Cabin has three levels with a deck surrounded by trees. The front entrance opens into the living room, with access to the kitchen and a full bathroom. There is a sofa couch with a queen-sized pullout bed and two expandable tables on the same level. Upstairs is a loft suite with a king bed, a desk, and a full bathroom. If you have a baby, there is a pack & play crib with crib bedding provided in the main level closet. Two additional bedrooms with trundle beds and queen beds respectively as well as another full bathroom are located on the lowest level separated from the living room by a door, hallway, and a stairwell, which provides great privacy if more than one family is sharing the cabin. There is a second workstation and an electronic keyboard in the hallway. The cabin has an in-house, full-sized washer and dryer for your use. We make sure all our beds are comfortable with high quality new memory foam mattresses, new cotton sheets with high thread counts, and new duvets & pillows. All bathrooms are fully stocked with new soft towels. There is high speed internet throughout the cabin, a Roku Smart TV with free Netflix, a smart speaker with Alexa, and smart controls for heaters and the propane fireplace.

Guest access
Our cabin is on a hill with a ramp and stairs to access the deck and the entry door. It is not wheelchair accessible and is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties or serious health conditions. During the snow season, the public roads are plowed. Once entering the private property, plow service is only active when there is snow over 4 inches. If you come in the winter, please have the necessary accessories ready for snow and ice including chains, snow boots, and relevant clothing. Be very careful when walking on the ramps and stairs in the winter as they can be slippery.

We strongly recommend that you print or download the address and the access code of the smart lock before heading here, as AT&T has very little cell phone coverage in Arnold. Verizon has a decent signal in Arnold. In Bear Valley, it is the opposite. AT&T generally has signal near the main lodge in Bear Valley, but Verizon has little coverage. Our cabin has high-speed internet and Wi-Fi that covers the whole house and close surrounding area.

Other things to note
The natural ecology is well maintained here. The environment is far away from dense populations, which means that wildlife is spotted in the area occasionally such as bears, cougars, raccoons, bobcats, coyotes, skunks, and deer. Please do not leave young kids outside unattended and avoid walking in woods without taking precautions. Please do not approach any wild animals if you see any. To avoid attracting wild animals to our property, we do not have a garbage bin outside. To minimize bear damage, please do not litter anywhere outside and ensure that you don't leave food or fragrant items in your car. Always keep your car windows and doors closed.

Nice quiet neighborhood. Disappointed that the pool was closed on Labor Day. We had to dispose of our own garbage. We were limited to one bag each of garbage and recycling for 8 people. The area was full of fun things to do.

Mid week stay in Arnold

This is a rather older cabin; but has been well maintained with upgraded features. The kitchen and all bathrooms were spotless and much newer than the property itself. The main feature to be aware of is the steepness of the driveway, the walk up to the front door and the inside stairs to the upper floor. This is not a complaint - we handled it well and it is disclosed in the description. The reality was a bit more severe than anticipated, however. Again, not a complaint, just a heads-up for any with difficulty with stairs or navigating a steep driveway. The owner was an excellent communicator, very courteous in messaging and ready to please. With only the steepness warning to add, I would recommend this as a good choice for convenience to Highway 4 and a pleasant stay

The house was spacious, the kitchen well equipped and the outdoor dining area amongst the beautiful trees very appealing. Two bedrooms were in the basement and were cool and dark (it was late July and very hot during the day) and comfortable for sleeping. Our kids immediately claimed the basement rooms and it made sense that the loft bedroom with King bed and attached bathroom would be for the parents. But as heat rises and there is no door, even the supplemental A/C unit set at 61 in that space seemed to struggle to cool the loft bedroom. Plus the A/C was somewhat loud, which some may like for the white noise. I tried using different settings on the A/C unit and one night just opened the windows since it cools off nicely outside at night. Anyways, the upstairs temperature could have been better but otherwise we really liked the place.

This cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen and bathrooms were very clean and well stocked and have been updated. The deck had covers on the furniture and these plus the table needed cleaning off before use, which is not a complaint as it’s outdoor space, just an FYI. The deck is a lovely place to sit and read, eat, or play a game at the table. It was warm upstairs and cool downstairs, and the downstairs bedroom had a wall heater and the upstairs had a portable a/c and fan unit, so everyone was comfortable.
