About this property

Hibernation Hideaway ~ Pet Friendly w/ A/C!

Welcome to Hibernation Family Hideaway! Secluded and nestled among the trees at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, Hibernation Family Hideaway is a charming dog-friendly chalet cabin in the heart of the Sierras. The living area boasts stunning pine ceilings & a grand rock fireplace (guest to provide firewood), creating a cozy ambiance.

This secluded 2 story mountain cabin is perfect for a quiet getaway. You'll discover 2 bedrooms downstairs plus a master loft with 2 more beds, and a full bathroom on each level. This spacious cabin sleeps 9 comfortably. You'll find level access to parking with exterior steps down to the entrance on a large private lot, yet close to Hwy 4 to get to Bear Valley ski area and more! From the living area walk right out onto the deck - BBQ or just relax and enjoy the trees.

Conveniently located just 30 minutes from Bear Valley Ski Resort and a short 20-minute drive from wine tasting in the quaint town of Murphys. Explore underground caves at Mercer Caverns in Murphys or at Moaning Caves in Vallecito. Don't forget to check out the giant redwood trees at Big Trees State Park, only a 5-minute drive from the cabin.

This cabin is not part of Blue Lake Springs HOA. There is a flight of stairs from the level parking area down to the cabin. There is only room for 2 cars at this cabin.

Cute cabin

My family and I stayed here to visit extended family. The cabin is very nice, the kids loved running around. We had a few minor issues with the cleanliness of the place but nothing that would keep us from booking again. Overall, would recommend.

Nice home on a hill

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice location and clean. Beds were not very comfortable and could have used more blankets. Beds were also very bouncy. Nice living room for gathering with family around the beautiful fireplace. There was a well-supplied kitchen with many utensils. Good neighborhood.

Hibernation cabin

Nice cabin, equiped well. Very private, saw deer pretty much everyday. The stairs are a bit of a challenge, twenty five steps from the parking area to the cabin deck.

Cozy spot to make good memories

Overall my family and I had a wonderful stay at the Hibernation Family Getaway and made some great memories. The location is perfect, as we went into town and the Bear Valley Ski Resort daily. The amenities were good, with the exception of not providing a hair dryer. I would recommend that one is provided in the house as its a given now when you stay anywhere, and its really hard to have wet hair in snowy weather! Also, no where in the entire town of Arnold did they sell one, so come prepared :) The only other thing I'll note is the stairway to the entry is a big steep and slippery when icy, so that made it a little tricky for us to get up and down, but as long as you are prepared then you'll be fine.

Great Stay!

This is a fantastic location, and SO secluded! On a court with two other large vacation homes, very private. Took our dog on walks around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, it was raining and we had lightning, but it was very cozy in the cabin!! The heater works great, AND the power went out, but immediately a backup generator turned on!! Will stay here again, just for that reason alone. The power goes out a lot here. The beds are comfy! The kitchen could use a clean-out of old stuff, but everything worked great! The family room was awesome and we even did a brand new puzzle that was up there. Thank you!

Weekend Getaway

We had a relaxing stay at the cabin. We did have a few ideas that would have made our stay even better. We would have liked to have large Tupperware or plastic drinking glasses for our iced tea and soda. Some dish towels would have been immensely helpful. When drying dishes, it was inconvenient to dry them with only paper towels. And we didn't want to use the dishwasher for just a few dishes after having a snack or a dessert. The most important thing was that, as we are all in our 70s, we found the stairs down to the house to be a bit steep for our comfort, especially carrying ice chests and luggage. It might be helpful to future guests if you would include a photo of the steps so people could decide if they wanted to tackle them. Thank you for offering your lovely home for us to use.

Relaxing and fun stay!

This property is nestled away and is quiet with wildlife to watch. Our kids enjoyed watching deer, skunks, birds, chipmunks and squirrels from the deck. The beds are comfy and had everything we needed. We rented a paddleboard and enjoyed Whitepine Lake. We checked out Murphys and the caverns. We will definitely be back! The games are missing some pieces so kids were bummed, but we had brought some, so it was fine!

Great Escape

A nice cabin that fit our family’s needs. It met our expectations, confirming the description in the listing. Located only 4 miles from the Big Tree State Park. The sequoias were awe inspiring. We recommend this as a base for those who want to strike out to appreciate nature and the area’s history.

Perfect hideaway for our weekend away

My son wanted to spend his birthday at the snow so we booked this cabin somewhat last minute. We were super pleased with the amenities, location and ease of check in/check out process. Hosts were communicative leading up to our stay and reached out the day of check in to let us know that a recent snowfall made the firewood inaccessible. I appreciated this very much as it allowed us to pick some up on the way. House is fully stocked and had everything we needed for my family and I including our dog! Thanks again for providing such a lovely place to relax and warm up after lots of snow play!

Solitude and light

I thoroughly enjoyed my four night stay. There was nothing missing in this lovely home that helps make for a comfortable "at home" feeling. The responsiveness and ease of working with the management company was comforting and much appreciated. I loved the windows and light! Plenty of room to have a larger family share the space -- but having it alone was heaven!
