Hibernation Hideaway ~ Pet Friendly w/ Heat!

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.

Don't forget to check out the giant redwood trees at Big Trees State Park, only a 5-minute drive from the 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Check-in was great. However, the kitchen had some issues with cleanliness especially when you pull out the trash can. Very dirty floor. Plus, there were no trash bags, except for the one that was in the container for our 5 day stay. The kitchen was very well equipped with every utensil and dishwater needed.

This is our second time staying at this property and we absolutely love it. The house has air-conditioning throughout, I do not remember having that during our first visit and it is a game changer. The area is very quiet, lots of beautiful walks if you bring a dog. Upstairs has a huge loft, beds are a bit small throughout but we find that everywhere we go, so we may be spoiled with our own bed. The loft is very light in the morning, great for an early riser, not so great for those who like to sleep in. Put your early risers upstairs! Kitchen is a nice size and there is a grill on the patio. The patio has a gate you can close to keep pets and kids safe. This home is one of the very few who cannot use Blue Lake Springs but White Pines Lake is a few minutes away and gorgeous too.
