Chalet vacation rentals in San Joaquin River

Beautiful home with a gorgeous location. Loved the openness, kitchen and decks.

The house is in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to the beach, a few restaurants and ice cream. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was great for us (we like to cook all our meals when we travel). The attached ADU didn’t impact our stay at all. The house is very private. Parking was off street, easy check in. We had everything we needed.

We had a great time during our 2 night stay at this cabin. My friends and I were pleased with the state of the house - the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The furniture may not have been the most comfy or modern, but it was homey. And it was nice to be not be stressed about pristine furniture with our 2 dogs hanging out. This was one of the best sized hot tubs I've seen at an airbnb, 4 sturdy sized adults fit in it with plenty of elbow room. We ended up getting a little snowed in so we didn't get to go out much beyond the surrounding yard, but there were a couple charming bars in the area, and some cute restaurants in the nearby town. Would absolutely come back to explore, wish we could have stayed longer!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay with the family. The space was very clean and spacious. There was plenty of room and my family and will definitely plan another trip.

So glad we came to stay here! Absolutely felt at home. I kept telling my wife if we could I’d buy this place right now because I loved it so much. And everything that came with the house was a HUGE plus. All the boat/water toys were a lifesaver! The host was very responsive and helpful. I asked if they had an EZ-Up and she said no but placed in order for one so I’d have one during our stay! Definitely will be returning. 10/10

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It was an unforgettable experience, especially for my mom, who saw wild deer for the first time. The house had everything we needed to enjoy a unique and special family time, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. I will definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We had a wonderful stay at Victoria’s house! The house is spacious, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It was easy to find, and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful—only about 30 minutes from Bear Valley, and just 10 minutes to the main grocery store. Communication with Victoria was seamless; everything was clearly outlined in her messages, so we didn’t need much interaction. We had a relaxing and enjoyable time, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our stay. Great home for families. Big common area and dining room that was good for 6 adults and 3 kids. The big room with bunk beds was especially nice for the kids. A bit of a trek to the snow this year, but still had a great time once we got there!

What a beautiful and charming cabin! We felt right at home. The cabin is really big and had plenty of beds for our group of 9. There were extra. It was nice the cabin was dog friendly. The kids had a great time in the game room & China Peak was only a five minute drive away. We enjoyed the snow and walking around the lake. Only con's was there was no dishwasher detergent and only a very limited supply of toilet paper. We almost ran out towards the end of our 3 night stay and the little market down the street didn't have any for purchase. Driving to Shaver for TP would have been a bummer!!

Craig's place was great for 3 families to meet up for the weekend. It was big enough to relegate the kids to the upstairs living room, while the grownups hung out downstairs. I loved cooking on the flat top of the fully commercial grade kitchen. Thanks so much for having us!

Gorgeous home with amazing view. Everything was perfect, beds were comfortable, house was clean, and very spacious home. The view of the snow covered mountain almost seemed unreal!

The cabin is lovely and we are grateful for our stay! Ashley was so easy to communicate with before, during, and after our trip. The cabin is so comfortable, immaculate, and cozy I could have stayed another week. Thank you, again.

Well worth every penny! Cloud’s Rest was a true home away from home and exactly what we were looking for to bring our family together in Yosemite for Thanksgiving (and my husband’s 60th). The location, just 15 minutes from Bridalveil trail and the valley floor, can’t be beat (without traffic-we did experience quite a bit of traffic on Black Friday, where it took closer to 30). But the real showstopper was the “cabin” itself - Grand Lodge would be a better description! Equal to the task of combining luxury, privacy and comfort with the beauty, grandeur and rugged wilderness of Yosemite. As a frequent Airbnb traveler, I was genuinely impressed by the high level of hospitality and amenities provided… I certainly didn’t expect such a well stocked kitchen that we could have prepared the full Thanksgiving feast without bringing a thing. My only hesitation in this glowing recommendation is that it’ll become so popular, we won’t be able to secure a reservation for our nest visit! 😅 👍🏻👍🏻?

This property was better than expected. Isaac is uh the man. Very responsive. We got Stuck in a snow storm and he was very responsive. Everything was as advertised. Family had a great time. Just a few things that don’t take away from a 5 star. Place is a little dated. TV needs to be updated. It worked but too dull. Could not watch television… not his fault. Snow storm messed with the satellite. Kitchen light has to be brighter. Snow plowing guy did not do a good job. Elderly parents had a rough time getting in. Basic things but what an experience. We will definitely be back! Thanks Isaac

We had a wonderful experience staying at this condo. Easy to find! Roomy enough for 7 people and all our gear. Spectacular views from the balcony. Excellent location!!!

We had such a great stay! Quiet neighborhood, clear instructions for everything, super clean, everything was labeled —-just an absolute breeze! This is a nice house for anyone looking for the quiet of the forest. Rita and Nathan give local recs for everything. We went to Murphys for meals and wine tasting and visited the local parks and state park to get some fresh air. Kitchen was so well equipped for all our meals. If you have little ones with you, this place is a godsend. They had toys, pack and play, a crib, childproof cabinets, child proof plugs, childproof furniture—it made our lives a little easier not having to chase after the kid constantly. The fireplace is non-operational and they currently don’t have a washer dryer. Both would have been nice but we were only there a short time. And Rita and Nathan said they’re in the process of renovating so that could change by the time you book. They were honestly the most helpful hosts and so responsive. Wonderful stay!

This is a spacious cabin in a beautiful spot. We loved being surrounded by snow. It did take 24 hours to warm up though the loft was always very warm. The beds were super comfy - they even had flannels sheets. Lots of room for everyone.

Absolutely unforgettable stay at Jen’s place in Arnold! From the moment we arrived at the W, we were blown away by how gorgeous and peaceful everything was. Jen was an incredible host—super responsive, thoughtful, and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. The space was cozy, clean, and had that perfect mountain vibe that made it feel like a dream getaway. We made so many amazing memories here—late-night laughs, morning coffee with stunning views, and moments we’ll never forget. You can really tell Jen puts her heart into making this a special experience for her guests. Highly, highly recommend staying here if you want a 5-star escape in the mountains. We’re already planning our next trip back!

we loved our stay at Dominique's place. It was very conveniently located. A few mins to restaurants , rec center and the lake. The place itself was so fun!! We enjoyed the game room quite a lot. Would recommend to anyone visiting Arnold!
