Whispering Pines-w/ Heat, AC & Pool Access!

Welcome to Whispering Pines! Nestled among the trees at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, Whispering Pines is a charming dog-friendly retreat in the heart of the Sierras. The living area boasts stunning pine ceilings, creating a cozy ambiance. With a wood stove and central heat and airconditioning, the cabin comfortably accommodates 6-7 guests.

You'll find 2 bedrooms and 1 and a half bathrooms on the main floor and a large sleeping loft upstairs which serves as a 3rd bedroom, sleeping 3 people with plenty of room for games, foosball and TV. The kitchen is cozy, yet provides everything you need for a relaxing visit.

Enjoy the forest view from the deck, while sipping coffee in the morning or a lovely drink in the evening under the stars! The cabin is located in Big Trees Village, with access to the HOA amenities in the summer, including 2 pools, park area, tennis and bocce courts.

Great New Years getaway.
Besides the town power going out shortening our trip, we had a great time when we were up there. House was clean and the hosts were great to communicate with. Would book with them again!

Great stay
Overall had a great time. Nice quiet neighborhood, very peaceful. Easily accessible to lakes, rivers, and town. Only downside was the amount of dog hair on carpets and on bed, beside that, it was a great stay.

Nice Stay at Whispering Pines
The house was clean and fairly well appointed. The kitchen was tiny. The plates and bowls were not ideal. The kitchen table chairs were in poor condition and the leather was literally disinegrating. The access to the pool was awesome - location is great. Nice to have AC as it was hot. Overall a nice place to stay.

Great Dog Friendly Cabin
We had a great time staying at this cabin for a mom and sun end of summer trip. We enjoyed our time visiting Alpine and White Pines Lakes and at the community swimming pool. Great are and wonderful comfy cabin! My one suggestion is cushions for the deck chairs.

Cozy Cabin
The cabin was clean and cozy but in need of some updates. The dining room chairs were very worn to the point of falling apart. Only one dishtowel was provided for a stay of 4 days. We did have a pleasant time but with a little more attention it would have even better.

Thanksgiving 2023 trip
We loved the house and property it was perfect. The house could have been a little cleaner, there were alot of spider webs and spiders must have found 8 within the first couple hours. Also could use measuremening cups in the kitchen. Other than that the house was perfect, we would happily stay there again.

Perfect spring escape
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our trip to the snow had to be rescheduled because of winter storms, and Sheila w/ Sierra Vacation Rentals facilitated the changes. She was super helpful. This cabin was great for our family. The kids enjoyed the upstairs with the foosball table, Bear Valley is nearby, and its the perfect place to work from when everybody is busy playing outside! We will come back!

Cozy, relaxing getaway
Such a cute property. I love the location and it was close to lake Alpine. The place was cozy, comfortable and relaxing. Enough space for a family with the upstairs loft. Kitchen well stocked, enough bath linens and visitor guide book was helpful! Having access to the pool was the best feature!!! Thinking about coming back in winter for some snow fun. Just a couple suggestion opportunities - need more fans because it was hot and there is no AC. Also the DVD selection for the downstairs TV was great but the DVD player upstairs wasn't blue ray.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cabin was comfortable and clean. Needs some updating but we had a lovely time. The only drawback is the rails on the deck are dangerous and spacing is not current code or even code from ten years ago! Very dangerous for a small child. We were uncomfortable even using the deck and had to gate off the loft. Would not recommend this cabin to anyone with a small child or small dog for that matter.

AC is extremely nice in these hot times!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This ended up perfect for us... a couple very minor quibbles: a) kitchen chairs are pretty tore up, b) we wished there was some regular seating for little ones at meal time c) we wished there was a king bed somewhere... but the pros far outweighed the cons: a) Air conditioning! [it was over 100 outside when we stayed] b) comfortable furniture, c) both my boys loved the foosball in the loft, d) rec center passes were a nice addition, e) your choice of firmer or softer mattresses. Overall, we'd definitely stay here again, unless we needed something for a larger group.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We have been to the Arnold area multiple times and this was by far the best. The cabin was clean and we didn't have to do anything special as far as cleaning instructions! Just clean the dishes, bag the trash and go!The cabin itself was the perfect size, we had plenty of room to spread out but cozy enough that we could easily have family time playing board games, watching a movie, and of course the family foosball tournament. The deck was perfect to have morning coffee and relax reading the news listening to the sound of the forest. This has been our favorite cabin of which I am sure we will rent again.

Nice place in the woods
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kickapoo is a lovely, basic house in a pretty, quiet neighborhood just east of Arnold. The house in fairly private, surrounded by trees, in the Dorrington subdivision. The beds were comfortable, as was the furniture in the living room. The house was clean. We were there on a very hot weekend, and there was no air conditioning. But, the trees kept the property shaded, and it was quite pleasant sitting on the deck. The house got a bit hot during the day, but cooled off at night with the fans.The kitchen could use a few more basic items, like spices, bowls, etc. But, overall, had most things you'd need.We had a lot of fun in the area. The people we encountered were all very friendly, and helpful. The highlights were Lake Alpine, White Pine Lake, and Hinterhaus Distillery.
