About this cabin rental

Come enjoy the simple joys of mountain life in this sweet, delightfully unique home in Arnold. Under the watchful eye of several mature cedar and fir trees, our cabin provides the perfect setting for groups of friends / family to unwind and reconnect with each other.

Whether you're enjoying a cup of coffee in the skylight lounge as the sun comes up or a glass of wine on the deck as the sun goes down, we are certain that you will grow to love our little home as much as we do.
The space
Our 3-story mountain home is nestled in a lush, private lot of the very desirable Blue Lake Springs neighborhood of Arnold.

With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, the home can comfortably accommodate a group of 10. The main entry of the home leads to its middle floor - this is where you will find the living room with a 65" Smart TV, Dining Area, Kitchen, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Full Bath and the spacious wraparound Deck with ample outdoor seating and dining.

The lower floor has the 3rd bedroom with an attached full bath and also the laundry facilities for the home. The top floor (loft) has the 4th bedroom with 2 queen beds, a convertible twin bed and another full bathroom AND our FAVORITE part of the home - the Skylight Lounge. We won't give away too much about the Skylight Lounge - other than the fact that there are skylights and about a 100 different ways for anyone and everyone to have a good time.

And if all of that isn't enough, we've got lots of yard space around the house with gorgeous tall trees and lots of wildlife. Lounging in the hammock or roasting marshmallows at the firepit are our favorite ways to spend lazy summer evenings.

We are less than a mile away from the Fly-in Acres lake, 10 minutes from Calaveras Big Tree State Park, 20 minutes from Murphy's wine-tasting, and 30 minutes from the Bear Valley Ski Resort.
Guest access
Our gently sloped driveway has ample parking for at least 4 cars. You will have access to the entire home with 3 decks and lots of yard space on all sides of the home. Please feel free to walk around and enjoy the gorgeous outdoors. There's a gas BBQ on the deck and we also provide lots of fun lake gear such as beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels (please don't take regular bath towels outside the home!!). For the especially adventurous bunch, there's a camping cot in 2nd bedroom closet on the middle floor if you dare to sleep under the stars :)

We are also part of the Blue Lake Springs (BLS) community in Arnold. For a small fee, guests have access to all of the amenities provided by BLS that include 2 private lakes, tennis courts, basketball courts, horseshoes, Olympic size swimming pool, snack shack, full service restaurant, shuffle board, ping pong, sand volleyball pit, BBQ and Picnic areas, sandy beaches, golf course and more. If interested, please reach out and we'd be able to share additional details. Please note that most of the BLS activities become available around Memorial Day and run through Labor Day.

Other things to note
~ We are pet-friendly and would be happy to welcome your well-behaved dog / cat to the home. We currently only allow 1 pet at a time and there is an additional per trip pet fee of $75.

~ Cell service can be a bit choppy around the town but internet is wonderfully fast most of the time!

~ The home has central heating with a thermostat on the main floor of the home but there is no air-conditioning (the house is well shaded and we haven't needed it yet). As the heat rises up, the lower floor can sometimes be a bit cooler during the winter - there is a personal heater in the laundry area for those especially chilly days.

~ Located in the middle of the Stanislaus National Forest means that you are fairly likely to spot deers, wild cats, coyotes, various birds and even bears. Please give them their space and keep a safe distance. Do not feed the bears or any other wildlife.

~ During the winter and early spring (Nov-Mar), we put away the barbecue and cover the outdoor furniture to protect it from rain and snow.

~ The house is on a septic tank so please DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING EXCEPT TOILET PAPER down the toilets. Trust us, you do not want your vacation ruined by a backed-up plumbing system.

~Forest fires are unfortunately becoming common in the summer and fall in Northern California. Please monitor air quality conditions in the area prior to arrival.

This cabin was perfect for our group of 10! With ages ranging from 5-67, we were all comfortable and had plenty of room to hang out and enjoy our weekend. We absolutely loved our time here - none of us were ready to leave! The lounge upstairs was perfect for the kids that came and gave them a space to hangout and stay entertained. We highly recommend this cabin and will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Meg and Shail's property in Arnold was the ideal location to spend a long weekend with my parents. Close to Calaveras Big Trees (fabulous hikes, great riverside spots to cool down and relax) and with access to the BLS lakes and pool. Meg and Shail were so kind to provide beach towels, which made our time at the lake even more enjoyable. The house itself was spotlessly clean, had more than enough space for all of us, and comes with a well equipped kitchen. The deck proved to be a great spot to hang out and relax in the mornings and evenings, providing ample shady spots, and our youngest son enjoyed the swing in the loft. Communication with Meg and Shail was easy, and the few questions we had were answered promptly and to the point. We also really appreciated the opportunity to check in early. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed at our time in Arnold at Meg and Shail's property. The kitchen is well stocked, and the three stories provided ample space for our group to spread out. The upstairs loft area has plenty of games, and we appreciated the two entrances to the house given the snow outside. Meg was also very responsive when we had any questions during the stay.

Wonderful Cabin Stay
Wonderful Cabin Stay
Our family had a great stay at Meg and Shail’s cabin. Everything was well stocked including extra towels and tea and coffee. The indoor swing was a hit with the kids. I also appreciate how responsive the owners were to my questions. They were very accommodating when we asked for early check-in so we can put our groceries away. Sandy
