Welcome to “The Sanctuary.” Tucked among the towering pines of Arnold’s desirable Lilac Park, this fully furnished mountain cabin captures the nostalgic charm of a true Sierra getaway while offering the updates and conveniences today’s buyer will appreciate. If you love cabins with character, warm wood, cozy spaces, and a feeling that invites you to slow down and stay awhile, this one is worth a look. Inside, soaring wood-beam ceilings, warm wood accents, and a raised-hearth brick fireplace create the quintessential mountain atmosphere. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, generous prep space, and a charming dining nook—perfect for lingering over breakfast before heading out for a day of adventure. A main-level bedroom and full bath provide added convenience, while upstairs you'll find additional bedrooms and a spacious bonus room that easily accommodates a fourth sleeping area for family and guests. Step outside onto the expansive deck and you’ll find what mountain living is all about. Surrounded by towering pines, it’s the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, family dinners, or evenings gathered beneath the stars. Watch for deer passing through and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the forest. And while the cabin delivers plenty of nostalgic mountain charm, some of the important work has already been done. A newer roof and newer septic leach lines provide valuable peace of mind. The usable off-street parking is another standout feature—especially in Arnold, where many mountain cabins have steep or challenging driveways. The uphill driveway also helps direct moisture away from the home. Lilac Park owners enjoy access to the seasonal community pool, while nearby White Pines Lake and Calaveras Big Trees State Park provide endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, exploring, and enjoying the beauty of the Sierra. Local restaurants, wineries, shopping, skiing, and year-round recreation are all just minutes away. Whether you’re looking for a weekend cabin filled with family traditions, a full-time mountain escape, or a vacation rental with genuine Sierra character, The Sanctuary is ready for its next chapter—and plenty of new mountain memories.
