Apache Pines w/ A/C, Decks & Rec Access

Welcome to Apache Pines—your peaceful getaway in the heart of the Sierra Nevada.

Whether you're sipping cocoa by the fire in winter or enjoying cool mountain breezes in summer, Apache Pines is a place to relax, recharge, and reconnect.

Inside, the main level features two comfortable bedrooms—one with a king bed and one with a queen—along with a full bathroom, cozy living room with a gas log stove, and a well-stocked kitchen with all the essentials to prepare home-cooked meals. The open dining area leads to a spacious upper deck, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening stargazing.

Head downstairs to find a large bonus room with a second gas stove, ideal for lounging, playing games, or curling up with a good book. This level also includes a third bedroom with a queen bed and twin bunk bed, another full bathroom, and a laundry area for your convenience. Two decks—one on each level—offer plenty of outdoor space to relax, dine, or grill using the gas BBQ.

During summer months, guests have access to Big Trees Village Recreation Center, which includes two swimming pools, a playground, tennis and bocce courts, and a snack bar.

Family Getaway

The cabin was super clean which we appreciated. It was easy to check in and out of. The location of the cabin was perfect, easy to get to the lake and go to Arnold or any of the other cute towns. It was really nice to have the air conditioning to cool off with the couple days it was hot.

Lovely Stay in the Woods

We stayed here with our three sons under the age of 11. The layout of the house was well thought out. The house was equipped with everything you would need and more. Plenty of space for a group to spread out. Comfy beds. The kids enjoyed exploring the outdoors around the home. The surrounding town had lots to do. We loved exploring Big Trees and all the river spots. Will definitely be back!

Great mountain escape

We had a wonderful stay over the weekend. It was very hot outside and we very thankful for the cabin having a new AC system. We spent most of our time outside on the big deck enjoying the views. The Wi-Fi was a very fast and we had excellent coverage for the TV’s and our devices.

Nice cabin, walkable to Dorrington Hotel

We stayed at this cabin to attend a wedding at the Dorrington Hotel. The cabin was comfortable and very well stocked. The listing does not share the coffee maker situation, and I wasn't able to connect with the property manager to determine what type of coffee to bring. The cabin has K-cups and a Keurig, as well as a traditional filter-style coffee maker with available paper filters. Our stay was great!

Luber Day Dorrington Get Away

Could not have lucked out more with a great house and host! We really enjoyed this cabin. Lots of space for a bigger group and family. Great amenities and close to nearby activities. AC was clutch for warm weather but we loved the deck. Downstairs has a good area to stay entertained with foosball. Plenty of board games too. Overall a great experience and hope to be back at the Apache Cabin next year for Labor Day at the Luber Day Soccer Tournament!

Peaceful

We enjoyed our stay! Nice not to have other cabins too close. Unbelievable how quiet it was! Our only issues was a power outage (not by fault of owner), directly after check in and it was dark. Only one real candle (couple of battery operated candles), more real candles would be helpful for power outages.

Nice place in central location

I've stayed in Arnold several times, but this was my first time staying with a smaller group. This house was great for our family plus 1 adult friend. I always appreciate having two family rooms and a room with bunk beds and this house had both. I also liked the big porch looking out into the woods. My only complaint is there were no coffee grinds, spices or oils to cook with. Typically houses provide those bare-minimums.

Cozy Little house

My wife and I stayed at Apache Pines in September for hiking and site seeing, and again in February to ski at Bear Valley. We like the house and its location and are likely to stay there in the future. Parking would be an issue in the winter if there are more than two cars. The lower level of the house has a bedroom, bath and family room which are great if traveling with kids. There is no master suite, the two upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom. This is a great place for a small group or family. It is nice to have laundry facilities for longer stays.

Loved it!

We loved our time at Apache Pines. We have rented many cabins & they can be hit or miss. This one was a definite HIT. Kitchen was great ( I like to cook). Loved not having to bring towels/sheets. The downstairs for the teens was great. My husband turned to me at one point and said, "These are people that care." We will be back, I hope! Thank you.

Otherwise the place was very clean. The only thing that I would recommend the owners to supply in the kitchen would be a potato peeler - we could not find one at all.
