Description:A vibrant, one-of-a-kind mountain cabin in Arnold, CA (Calaveras County), offering production crews a fully decorated, camera-ready interior on a private, tree-shrouded lot — surrounded by over 50 pines for a naturally quiet, sound-friendly set. Living areas & kitchen: A rainbow of eclectic meets 70s Scandinavian runs throughout the main living space, anchored by a bold pink kitchen — a striking, ready-made backdrop with no set dressing required. Retro touches include a record player, vintage-style VHS collection, and a retro video game console, giving crews an authentic nostalgic aesthetic rather than a manufactured one. Bedrooms & loft: Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed and distinct colorful styling, plus an open loft featuring a bunk (twin over double) and queen sleeper sofa — offering multiple distinct-looking rooms for coverage without repeating a set. Sleeps 9 total. Bathrooms: Two full bathrooms, styled to match the home's playful aesthetic.Lower has colorful flowers, upper is ABBA themed. Upper deck: A private upper-level deck off the loft/bedroom area, gated and enclosable — a clean, elevated shot option overlooking the pines. Lower deck: A large ground-level deck under the tree canopy, home to the property's brand-new cedar hot tub — a striking lifestyle/commercial shot ready to go with zero dressing. Backyard/grounds: Wooded grounds set up for exterior lifestyle shots, with horseshoe toss already in place, plus driveway parking for 2-4 vehicles and an on-site EV charger for production vehicles. Fast, reliable 800mbps Wi-Fi with multiple routers supports on-set monitors, streaming, and video village needs. Located minutes from White Pines Lake, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, and the wineries of downtown Murphys — offering additional exterior locations within a short drive. Ideal for lifestyle commercials, product shoots, and productions seeking a distinctive, fully-styled interior paired with a quiet, private setting
