About this property

Dardanelle Retreat - 4,200 sqft summer paradise with gorgeous views!

This is the grandest getaway in Arnold. 

A sprawling 4,200 sqft luxury cabin in a premium resort community. There is an additional 3,800 sqft of rich redwood decks. That's 8,000 sqft of usable space! 

The decks overlook majestic sugar pine trees at an elevation of 5,200 ft. Every room (including all 5 bedrooms) has its private deck access. 

Wake up to mesmerizing panoramic mountain & valley views of the gorgeous Stanislaus National Forest. We think we have the best views in all of Arnold! 😊

▶︎ About the Property

Get ready to be wowed by our massive 4,200 sqft cabin with 5 full bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. We have a separate game room too. This is the largest cabin in our community and it's all on just 2 levels. So, it’s super expansive. 

There’s an additional 3,800 sqft of decks which can be accessed from every room (except bathrooms). 

More Info:

• 5 bedrooms & 3.5 bathrooms.

PLEASE NOTE:
Many other cabins in Arnold advertise a loft or game room as a bedroom. They lack heat/cool & don’t have smoke/CO alarms. They also lack privacy (no doors) making it difficult for multiple families on a vacation.
However, our cabin has 5 full bedrooms without any of the issues mentioned above. We have a separate game room too.

▶︎ Main-level Living

No stairs are needed to access the living room, family room, kitchen, 2 dining areas, the master bedroom suite with bathroom, the powder room (i.e. half bath), laundry area & our gorgeous decks. 

This 'main level living' is great if you have elderly people, kids, or members with disability or mobility challenges.

Our cabin has just 2 levels. That also makes our house extremely roomy & expansive - great for entertaining large groups and for family get-togethers.

Our town is surrounded by the Stanislaus National Forest, which has a lot of wildlife. We do routine pest control, landscaping, and cleanings. However, bugs, critters, bats, and cobwebs are inevitable.

We have a BBQ grill but don't advertise it since we can't provide propane. You may use the grill if you bring your own propane. Some local stores like the Big Trees Market in Arnold have propane tanks. Please clean the grill if you use it.

Snow Removal
Arnold can receive a lot of snow within a few minutes. Please check the weather conditions before you arrive. Snow removal at check-in, checkout & during the stay is the guest's responsibility. Snow plowing service is an additional cost fulfilled by local snow plowers.

Very nice house but it DOES NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING.
This is a very nice house with nice appliances and furnishings surrounded by huge trees. I need to warn you about is that the house doesn't have air conditioning which isn't obvious from the listing. This should be a 3 season house, but not for summer. We booked 3 nights, but after trying to sleep through 2 nights with 2 nights at 90+ degrees inside with fans, we didn't stay for the last night. Also, the cleaning wasn't great, I hope they improve on that in the future.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024
