Dardanelle Vista

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! 😊

PLEASE NOTE:

Many other cabins in Arnold advertise a loft or game room as a bedroom. They lack heating & 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.

▶︎ Larger Group (over 16 people)?

We’re happy to welcome larger groups from time to time — groups over 16 people need pre-approval from our homeowners, HOA, and management. We have hosted groups as large as 22 people (including kids) in the past. If you have more than 16 guests, just send us a quick message before booking. Booking larger groups without approval may lead to cancellation without refund.

For larger groups, there’s a $25/night fee per additional person (plus taxes & Airbnb fees). We've kept this fee as affordable as possible. It only helps cover the extra supplies, utilities, insurance, and natural wear that come with hosting bigger groups. Since this is a large and beautiful home, upkeep is significantly high.

The extra guest fee is our way of making it easier for big families and groups to gather, while also helping us recover basic costs and keep the stay budget-friendly for everyone. So, we kindly ask you to be honest about your group size — misrepresenting it could lead to penalties or cancellation without refund, and we truly want your stay to be nothing but wonderful!
