Mountain Retreat Resort

WHAT a hidden gem! Went here for the weekend with my family of 4 and stayed in Unit 1, right next to the club house. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. 2 bedrooms both with King size beds, 3 bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen and lovely living space with a fire place. The club house has a very nice heated pool and hot tub, along with a sauna and gym. The place had lots of snow in mid march and you can walk to the Sequoia Woods country club restaurant. (also amazing but make reservations). The staff was kind and very helpful. Check in was a breeze and all our questions were answered. They provide games, movies, puzzles and firewood up front. Looking forward to booking another stay in the summer so we can take advantage of all the hiking around the facility.

Location nestled around nature's Big Trees and soothing sounds of babbling brooks on the property.If you are looking for a peaceful, restful location to get away from any Big City you might live or work in, this is the place for you.Unit is simply kept, but has all that you would need. If there is something additional needed, the staff is very accessible and ready to aid.Don't expect the newest of technology presay, but there is enough to keep the modern day mindset still entertained.There was much to see within short and long distances that would satisfy most visitors.From local mini hikes in the Big Trees forest, to a plethora of vineyards/wineries, spa and shopping...to longer treks to Yosemite and stop at the Sacramento Zoo before flying back home.All in all the R&R that was called for when booking this vacation location was achieved.

This spot was perfect for big families! Lots of room and the views are awesome! Also close to snow parks and brewery.

Our cabin was really not too bad for the price. Granted it was a bit dated but fairly well maintained. It is also roomier than other newer ones I have stayed in. Kitchen have most of the equipment you would need to prepare a nice home cooked meal. Plenty of towels in the bathroom but some of the toiletries are missing (no shampoo or conditioner?) Linens are clean and the sofa sleeper was reasonably comfy despite being a little springy. No issues with check-in or check out. Wouldn't mind staying again in the future.

This is a wonderful resort for a relaxing and a quiet place to vacation. There are lots of sites to see and things to do in the area. Located at about 4000 feet elevation near evergreens and deciduous trees, the resort offers cool evenings, pine scented fresh air, a friendly and accommodating staff, evening activities Tuesday through Friday, comfortable beds and other amenities.Calaveras Big Trees State Park is only 3 miles from the resort and is very interesting and offers guided tours by docents with interesting information to share. There is a scenic byway further up Hwy 4, wine tasting and museums in the area. Several restaurants are available in the town of Arnold. This is a great place to spend some time.

Was looking for places to stay in Arnold for a weekend get away for my wife's birthday, wasn't many options in Arnold it's a small town. This was by far the best place you could stay besides an actual cabin you rent out. The staff was EXTREMELY WELCOMING AND KIND. The three ladies working the front desk were some of the most kind ladies and had some of the best customer service we have experienced since traveling. It's got a pool and a hot tub and it's right on the golf course. Not far and off in a quite area with a little river running through it. We will definitely be back this summer and many more to come. Thank you guys for making our stay amazing.

Wow! The service was incredible. Very friendly and happy place. They go out of their way to make sure all your needs are met. Ice cream social and fun events and fantastic location with tons of trees and fresh air. Fun pool and hot tub inside for the kids to use all year around. The restaurant across the street is not recommended if you don't know them or are a member of the club. I walked in and everyone stared at me. I asked with my two kids in tow if we were allowed to be there and they said yes and continued to stare. I started to wonder. Finally after 4 minutes of sitting in an empty restaurant for service, someone (another patron) said I needed to order drinks at the bar where all the people were staring at us. Then order from the table for food. It was all just awkward.

WOW , one of the best places I've stayed at , both in value ,accommodations and location . it was a last minute thing and i wasn't sure what type of establishment it was IE, hotel,motel,resort ? It had immaculate rooms and grounds , the front staff was so kind and professional and being in the business i would tell management to leave the front of the house to do just that ,keep them in the front not double duty doing laundry. As for the grounds keepers , a Huge BRAVO , what a job and so well done , they deserve a raise. Everyone was so helpful and nice with big smiles even when you see them doing hard work , just wow, this place is underrated.better service then some 5 stars I,ve stayed at and the location was just as surprising , the town Arnold ,everyone was so nice ,at the lake some kids offered to teach my son to fish , at the Calveras park the rangers and staff were so kind and informative , even the supermarket people were kind and nice . I cant say enough about how great the experience was and how everyone was so friendly . the retreat is a great place but the staff made it an excellent place. I truly hope that the Owners appreciate them the way they should be.

Just a P.S. note to fellow Californians that are looking for a GREAT place for BOTH skiers AND NON-SKIIERS to love, this Mountain Retreat (with a little village of about 30 BIG units in secluded woods next to a gorgeous golf course!), will make ALL AGES of your family members happy! While we have loved going there in the late Fall, we are planning to go back during the Spring and summer months, to do some hiking.LOVE the interiors and FEEL SO TOTALLY RELAXED there - cannot wait to visit the staff there (that have become our friends!)Manager Sheila makes sure that YOU are happy by also making sure that her staff is well-coached in WONDERFUL Customer Service.Looking forward to returning there shortly for more re-charging, down-time!Makes me HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!

The staff and surroundings are the best things about this facilityMost pleasant hospitality always and we've been coming there for yearsUnfortunately due to aging facility and lack of financial strength of the association, repairs have been deferred
