About

Nestled in a beautiful pine forest, The Lodge at 2785 Sioux Trail near Arnold, CA, is a magnificent mountain retreat that has been stunningly expanded and remodeled to create a playful multi-family and friends haven with unparalleled access to High Sierra hiking, skiing, fishing, wine tasting, and more.

The Lodge wows with soaring vaulted ceilings of knotty pine, six large en suite bedrooms, 3 additional bathrooms, a kitchen designed to feed crowds, an expansive deck with a hot tub, a dry sauna, fireplaces, a circular staircase, loft and game room, office and library, bunk room, and a separate studio with floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights.

This peaceful property comes with 4 undeveloped lots for a park-like setting. It’s where you’ll host summer BBQs and epic cornhole tournaments, where kids will build snowmen in the winter, and everyone will hot tub under the stars year-round. The lots are available for development if you prefer.

Lucky you! While Bay Area crowds flock to Tahoe, your Lodge is located an easy 2 to 3 hours from San Francisco or San Jose off scenic Hwy 4 at 4,000-foot elevation near Arnold – the best-kept secret in the Sierras! It’s a four-season destination just minutes from the gigantic sequoias of Big Trees State Park, White Pines and Alpine lakes, world-class skiing at Bear Valley, cool cavern tours, and the eclectic town of Murphys for wine tasting, dining, and fun festivals.

The Lodge has been an exceptionally successful year-round vacation rental. As the current owner says, “It rents like mad!” Cozy furnishings are included. Read on for the details…

Location

A 3-hour drive from the Bay Area, 2785 Sioux Trail is located between Tahoe and Yosemite in a gorgeous area of the Sierras just above Arnold, only minutes from the magnificent Calavaras Big Trees State Park, and 1 mile from the Stanislaus River. What sets this lovely area apart from Tahoe is its lack of traffic and large crowds. You and your visitors will welcome the relaxed and friendly vibe. Some Sierra essentials:

Play outside

The slopes at Bear Valley Resort offer excellent alpine skiing without the long lift lines.
Lake Alpine Recreation Area in the Stanislaus National Forest is a scenic reservoir with a granite basin surrounded by fir and pine forest. In the summer, swim, boat, hike, camp, fish, and bike. In the winter, the lake becomes a snow park with snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.
Big Trees State Park is magnificent! Take a fascinating guided tour or long hike through preserves of giant sequoias – the world’s largest trees.
Golfers get lots of choices: Forrest Meadows, Sequoia Woods, Greenhorn Creek
White Pines Lake is a nearby, small upcountry lake with beaches, disc golf course, playground, and warmer water than Alpine Lake, according to locals.
2785 Sioux Trail residents get summer access to Big Trees Village rec center: 2 pools, picnic areas, basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball diamond, shuffleboard, snack bar, and organized activities.
