Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Arnold

Excellent stay in a clean, well-equipped home We thoroughly enjoyed our stay—the place was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed. One minor quibble: the coffee maker was tiny and could only brew two cups at a time, which was a bit inconvenient for our group. The location is fantastic—just about an hour’s drive to Yosemite National Park, making it an ideal base for exploring. The community was undergoing construction, and some roads were closed during our visit. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes to enter and pay the $50 entrance fee, which was frustrating. It’s worth asking the host for an update on access or checking ahead before booking.

Fantastic house in a beautiful rural setting! The house is spotless and spacious. Well-appointed kitchen and pantry. First Airbnb we’ve stayed in that actually has storage containers for leftover food! Plenty of paper products, bath supplies and towels. Comfortable sun room and covered porch for relaxing. Hosts are very responsive! The setting is beautiful - very rural. It was fun to cook at home and relax at the house. Strong WiFi. The towns of Murphys (shops, pubs, eateries) and Arnold (Big Trees State Park is beautiful!) are each a 40 minute drive. Would definitely return to this beautiful home!

We had a great stay at this cabin! The space was cozy and clean, and the location was great—just a short distance from the lake and some really beautiful hikes. It was a peaceful and convenient spot to relax and enjoy nature.

Had a wonderful stay at Luis’ house over Father’s Day weekend! Perfect getaway in nature for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Beds were comfy, big open kitchen, nice BBQ, outdoor seating w/fireplace for s’mores, corn hole, spa under the stars and Adirondack chairs overlooking the vista perfect for morning coffee. Only 30 mins to pinecrest lake or dodge ridge for outdoor fun during the day! Helpful hosts who welcomed us with wine and stuff for s’mores, so thoughtful!!

This place wasn’t over stated or understated, it had a very welcoming feel. It had very timely decor and very comfortable for us , as a family of four to stay in. (My young son wasn’t afraid to sleep in the spare bedroom by himself) 😃The cabin had board games, books and the hot tub was a big plus for us. The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen to date for any airbnb I had to stay in. Set up was just like my kitchen at home so it made this home cook very happy because I didn’t have go, “Shoot, I wish I had brought this!” Short drive to Bear Valley for some snow fun. Overall very happy to have picked this cabin for our little family vacation.

We had an amazing stay at Yvette's place! The house was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Yvette was also a fantastic host, always quick to respond and accommodating. We would definitely recommend their place and stay again.

Spent the weekend here with my SO and had an incredible time. Jessica’s property is cozy and nestled in the forest with amazing views in every direction. The house was super clean and with great amenities (including the use of a vehicle pass to see Big Trees State Park which is only 10 min away!). Jessica was super responsive and proactive, being sure to ask how our stay was going and ready to answer any questions we may have had. She also gave us some great local recommendations for seasonal activities around town. Would highly recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful time! What a gorgeous and comfortable house. Thank you so much Jessica!!

Very comfortable and quiet property. We booked this property giving Kevin and Teresa only an hour’s notice. They were very pleasant and made sure everything was set for us. Kevin met us and showed us around. The apartment was very warm and cozy. We would highly recommend!!

Very affordable place to stay compared to other bnbs nearby. Not a “cabin” but still had the homey cabin feel. Kitchen and fridge were stocked a little bit. Grocery store nearby. Very easy and flexible check in. Laurie who takes care of the rental for Robert was very nice and friendly and helpful. If you have kids there is a little selection of toys and also a little selection of dvds. Walking distance to the golf course across the street. Overall a very good experience. Would 100% stay there again.

This is a lovely space, very roomy, clean and convenient. The view from the kitchen is beautiful and it is a peaceful and relaxing place to unwind after a day of outdoor adventures. I booked it to explore Yosemite, which is about an hour and 15min or so to the entrance. It’s a beautiful drive, and there is also so much to explore in Sonora, Columbia, and Jamestown. The Gold Rush history of this area is fascinating to me, and this is a perfect basecamp for nature hikes and historical sightseeing. Michele is super helpful, responsive, and gave me excellent suggestions of things to do and even an ideal itinerary for my four days there. Highly recommend.

Raman responded very quickly. The place was exactly as described. It was clean. And after a tiring day of travel was the right place to rest. The beds were very comfortable and cozy. Had a great sleep. My boys loved it too.

This little house was perfect! I stayed here for the weekend because my Daughter was getting married close by. It was the perfect place to get some much needed rest after spending a couple of long days getting everything ready. Melissa was great at communicating and gave clear info on checking in and out. Definitely would stay here again!

5 stars! Had such a great weekend with friends at Little Bear! The place is beautifully designed and super cozy, exactly as described. We appreciated the nice towels and the comfy beds. It’s great that the loft has two queens, great if you are traveling with all adults. The setting was peaceful and private — perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved the hot tub in the morning and star gazing around the fire pit at night. We also enjoyed dinner out on the deck. The location is perfect, so close to Big Trees SP and not far from Murphys, we enjoyed the Sunday Farmer’s Market and Pablito’s Taco Truck! Liset was responsive and helpful, with clear instructions for check-in, check out and local tips. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in nature. .

This place was amazing. The only complaint would be the shower. It runs fine however it is oddly built and the beam that extends into it offers discomfort to anyone above 5’4. My wife smacked her head on it unfortunately. Now besides that the place is perfect.

The location is amazing. We loved sitting on the deck sipping tea in the afternoon, smelling the pines, and feeling like we were in the forest. It’s a very calm and relaxing place. We enjoyed visiting Brice Station for wine tasting (with a pottery studio next to it), walking around Murphys, hiking the Arnold Rim Trail, and stopping at the Red Apple farm stand for fresh fruit and pastries. I found the kitchen easy to cook in. The living room is cozy. The stairs have already been mentioned; we found we were OK as long as we went up and down them very slowly. Also the quirkiness of the stairs is offset by the affordable price. The immediate neighborhood was a great place to walk our dog.

This June I stayed at this amazing place. The pictures don’t do it justice. It has great decks and a very open floor plan. It is literally foot steps from one of the beaches and swim areas at Pine mountain lake. Another plus was the changing station for electric vehicles. We would definitely stay again. Brian is an excellent host.

beautiful Modern Home Had a Wonderful Dinner and enjoyed the fire pit With grandchildren .host was very acomidating on early Check in.Also We were also able to have a good breakfast and pack up because we did not have to rush .because he said also we can have a late check out

Great stay, we had no back and forth with the host since everything was so well laid out. The house was well stocked with all the essentials. They had plenty of extra towels, pillows and comforters. It was kid friendly too. Nicely decorated and organized space. I cant think of anything negative, our family enjoyed the stay.

This cabin was amazing. My family and I had so much fun there. Unfortunately, there was no snow as we expected, but a 30-minute drive to Bear Valley was not bad to have fun. It ended up being a good thing since we didn't always have to deal with snow. I will come back!

The cabin was perfect for our reading retreat. It was so quiet and the fire pit was great for night time reading. Everything was really clean including the bedding and pillowcases which was a huge relief. I would definitely stay again.
