About this house rental
3 Bedroom, 2 Bath 1600 sq feet tri-level home sitting on one acre in Blue Lake Springs, Arnold. Sleeps 6 very comfortably.
Master bedroom is a loft on top, with California King bed and master bath with roomy shower/tub that looks into the trees. Main floor has spacious full-equipped kitchen with cozy living room and wood-fired stove. Features a new deck that spans across the home. Deck has gas-fired grill, patio table and great seating chairs for gazing at the trees and stars at night. Bottom floor has two bedrooms. One bedroom has full sized bed with bunk beds. Also opens up to a small deck with stair access to the property below. Great level area for bocce ball or horseshoes. Other downstairs bedroom has a full-sized bed as well. Downstairs bath with stall shower. All beds (except for the bunks) have memory foam toppers and are very comfortable.
Linens/towels/dishes/games - everything you need to enjoy some time away! Plus wi-fi, Apple TV/Chromecast for streaming. (no cable tv) Note: Do not misplace the Apple TV remote. Lost remotes - $75 charge.
20 minutes away from Murphy's - which has numerous wineries and restaurants. While in Murphy's check out the Ironstone Vineyard Concert series!
35 minutes away from Bear Valley for skiing/snowboarding plus cross country skiing and snow fun.
Blue Lake, 1.2 miles away from the house, in the summer offers awesome family recreation - complete with pool, lake, bbqs, snack shack, tennis, basketball and bocce courts. (there is a daily fee - $15 per person or $75 for a group up to six)
White Pines Lake a quick 10 minute drive is great for fishing for blue gills and small bass. And has a great disc golf course that goes around the lake.
Big Trees Calaveras Park is minutes away and offers awesome hiking.
If coming during the winter: highly recommend all wheel/4-wheel drive vehicles if it is snowing. Even after the snow and the roads are clear, it can be icy. While my driveway isn't a super-steep downward slope, it is still a slope and vehicles do have an issue getting out in snow or icy conditions.
Please note, Robin's Nest is my home, I do stay here during the year so this is not strictly a vacation rental. I ask that you be respectful of my home, my personal belongings and items.
A note about taxes. In November 2018, Calaveras County approved Measure G, increasing the Transient Occupancy Tax from 6% to 12% in order to bring in much needed to enhance emergency response programs and services. You will see this charge once you make your reservation with HomeAway.

We’ve stayed here twice now and couldn’t be happier. Everything you need for a fun weekend with the family is provided and the house is close to many outdoor adventures. We plan to return!

Robin’s cabin at the edge of Blue Lake Springs is truly private. The master bedroom with its many windows in the upstairs loft is great, especially when it’s not too hot.

This worked great for our family of 7. It was very clean and spacious, and in a nice location for our planned activities. Robin's communication was very helpful. We visited numerous local lakes/rivers/trails and the restaurants/shops in Arnold were very convenient.

Despite a brief stay due to an unforeseen event, our time at Blue Lake Springs House in the Trees was enchanting. Nestled among tall pines, the spacious, well-appointed interior offered tranquility. The expansive deck, perfect for family gatherings, overlooked the forest canopy. The amenities exceeded expectations, and nearby attractions like ski areas added to the charm. Though our stay was cut short, the experience was truly magical. We eagerly anticipate returning for another visit.

We were so happy to come back to Robin’s nest! The cabin was below the snow line but it was an easy drive up to the Sno Park. We relaxed and enjoyed the trees, and we had plenty of comfy places to lounge and sleep. Great amenities throughout. Look forward to coming back again!

Had a wonderful stay at Robin's Nest! The kitchen was well stocked. Comfortable beds and beautiful views. The cabin is near Bear Valley ski resort, and quaint Arnold. Would definitely stay here again.

Property and house lay out were great. Amenities such as tv/streaming, games, etc were great.
It is a little off the beaten path. We liked the setting, but can be tricky finding the house in the dark. We had no problem with parking but with ice or snow the narrow, steep driveway would be interesting.
Overall, 5 stars definitely.

Nice property in nice area of blue lake springs. Everything about this house was great. The only thing that could have been better is if the deck area was cleaned more.... pollen everywhere and the grill needs to be cleaned.

This is a terrific 3 bedroom, 2 bath house for a short stay or a longer family vacation. It is surrounded by forest, with an ample deck for outdoor entertaining. The house is of a modern, unique architectural design providing a welcoming and cozy interior. There is a wood-burning stove in the living area, and the kitchen has top notch appliances and is well equipped. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed Robin's beautiful home peacefully nestled in the big trees. While the weather was raging outside, we were warm, comfortable and safely tucked away in this cozy home, enjoying the warmth of the fire. Our first night we experienced a hard winter rainstorm that blew through the area, followed by a foot of fresh snow the next. We had a great stay with spectacular views of the forest and nature at its best.
We highly recommend this home in the woods for a mountain retreat or ski weekend.

Robin was an amazing host, very informative and super easy to communicate with. The cabin was spacious but the fireplace and decor made it feel cozy. The views out of the main room into the giant trees was definitely a highlight!!! We will definitely be back.

We absolutely loved staying here! Very well-appointed house with something for everyone - puzzles, books, toys, lots of cozy spots to just chill. The views were phenomenal - really did feel like we were in a tree-house. We hope to be back again!

Great central location to the local areas we typically visit - Bear Valley, Calaveras Big Trees, Downtown Murphy, Moaning Caverns. Robin's Nest is located in a quieter more secluded area which was nice and it was close to the entrance to the National Park. The property was very clean and spacious for our family of 4 to enjoy. We would definitely would return! Thanks Robin!!!

We used the property as a base for an extended work project. A great place of support us after long 12-hour days. Every amenity was available in working order to allow us to quickly rest and prepare for the next days work. Would recommend for any purpose.

Robin’s Nest!
Robin is a wonderful host and we enjoyed our time at Her lovely home. The accommodations were comfortable, deck, bbq, living space are all great! The house is stocked with all of the essentials. Being able to use the recreation areas is a huge plus. We can’t wait to return to BLS and Robin’s Nest.

Great Cabin Family Trip
We had lots of fun inside and surrounding the neighborhood was full of lovely helpful people. Everything was easy to get to. Although it rained my kids and I had an indoor pizza party. I was notified about service but there was no landline access my entire stay.

Treehouse experience
This home has stunning views of the trees all around you with large windows surrounding the living area. Normally with so many windows you may feel a lack of privacy, but not here- you are surrounded by trees, almost as if you’re in a treehouse. It is so peaceful and beautiful, we did not want to leave. I’m usually an early riser, but sleeping in the upstairs loft with views of the treetops, I wanted to stay in bed all day.
The home is very comfortable with everything you may need. Next time I will bring the grandkids.
The owner is easy to communicate with. There was a power outage while we were out, and Robin sent texts with estimated restoration.

Peaceful,. light and airy!
I really liked the location of the rental located in a bright and sunny part of the community.. Sometimes some of these cabins can seem dark and cold especially in winter but this cabin is wonderfully located with adequate sunshine and shade. It is roomy and clean and with a nice open layout. It is fully loaded with everything you need and then some. I would highly recommend it for any family. The host was also very responsive and helpful in her instructions ect.

Lovely cabin in the trees and snow
My kids and I had a great stay at Robin's! The kitchen was well stocked (great for hot chocolate after coming in from the snow), and the location was great (in a quiet part of a forested neighborhood). We had fresh snow on the day we arrived and had lots of fun throwing snowballs and making snow angels. TVs and Wifi meant we could stream movies, and there was plenty of space and comfy beds for us to crash at the end of the day. We'd love to stay again!

Quiet Spot in a Beautiful Setting
What can I say, fall is always my favorite in Arnold! Being from Arnold and having had parents recently move away, my sister’s family and I were dying to get back to visit. Robin’s Nest was comfortable, clean and relaxing with beautiful views (including dramatic sunsets) off the back patio. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfy. Plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy as well as enjoy some game or movie time together. The property is on three levels with beds and baths upstairs and downstairs and the main living area in the middle. The home was very close to Sequoia Woods Country Club where we enjoyed lunch and drinks in the lounge. I will definitely be back to stay again!

Perfect!
My husband and I, with our young adult children, loved our stay! Beautiful home and property. Everything was easy with clear communication and directions. We grocery shopped in town at Big Tree Market and mostly cooked at home in a very nice and well appointed kitchen. Grill and the deck were great. Coffee in the morning on the deck and a glass of wine in the evening. It was quiet and private. The layout of the home is great and just as depicted. Fresh and welcoming. We hiked at Calaveras (Big tree) State Park (south grove loop was great and worth it to see the biggest sequoias). Just down the road! Also went to Lake Alpine about 40 mins away and hiked up to Inspiration Point. Also worth the short trip. Beautiful! We hated to leave but were off to Yosemite next. Thank you so much, Robin. Your place is lovely and we appreciate our opportunity to stay. It was perfect!
