Mountain Retreat

  • August 21, 2003
  • Rated 5 of 5 by racesns05 from Wilson
Best Things Nearby:
Lots of state parks. Plenty of places for hiking. Not a lot of restaurants or shopping areas nearby. This resort is definitely "off the beaten path." There are golf courses and skiing nearby.

Best Things About the Resort:
This was a beautiful timeshare that sleeps eight. It had a fireplace and wood was available for purchase at the front desk. We went in the off season so it was a very reaxing resort.

Resort Experience:
This was the largest room we've had. Since we went in the off-season we were able to exchange our one-bedroom for this room. We would definitely recommend this resort. The people were very nice.

  • Unit Type: 2 Bedroom
  • Activities: Fair

  • Unit Satisfaction: Excellent

Mountain Retreat

Best Things Nearby:
Minutes from Calaveras Big Trees State Park, historical "California Gold Rush" country, snow,2 hours from Lake Tahoe, (3 1/2 hrs in winter) 3 hours from Yosemite and 3 hours from most San Francisco Bay Area locations.

Best Things About the Resort:
The comfortable at home feeling one had upon entering this unit/complex. A nice touch was a plate of cookies waiting for us on the kitchen counter of our unit upon our arrival! VHS rental movies were available for rent ($1.00 per day/night)at the check-in desk or PG/PG13 movies were being played throughout the day on a closed circuit which was available on one of the TV channels in each of the units at no charge.

Resort Experience:
This facility was developed between 1981 and 1983. Most of the condominiums are duplex style for optimum privacy with one triplex.

If you'd like to do a lot of sight-seeing or you just wish to relax, this place is great for both. From golfing to wine tasting to many different adventure sports, opportunity abounds. In winter, skiing at Bear Valley Mountain Resort is the primary recreation of choice, but definitely not the only one.

Arnold is a small town located in the Stanislaus National Forest. The full time population is somewhere around 7000. The elevation is 4200' above sea level. Originally a place for logging and summertime cattle ranching, it has become a resort & retirement community.

Our 2 bedroom unit could sleep up to eight and was fully equiped and ready for any contingency. It had a fireplace, 2 cable TV's, washer/dryer, fully equiped kitchen, iron and ironing board among it's many features. The recreation center had an indoor pool, small library/reading room, suana, basketball court, pool table and game room.
