About this house rental

(Please read all)

The chalet is located in beautiful Arnold, CA in the foothills of the Sierras. It is walking distance from Fly-In Lake (seasonal) and a short 4 mins from the Blue Lake Springs recreation center and pool (Memorial Day to Labor Day) and Big Trees State Park. Just 25 minutes from Bear Valley Ski Resort. We have a whole-house generator, stand up paddle boards, disc golf discs, sleds, pool, pinball, home theater and many other toys for you to enjoy.

Winter: we are just half an hour down the hill of Bear Valley Ski Resort, which has also great cross country ski, tubing, and various Sno-Park areas where you can go sledding. With enough snow you can sled in the back yard or from the sides of the swim lake that's walking distance and dry in winter.

Summer: from mid-June, the HOA rec center is expected to be open to guests but confirm by Googling Blue Lake Springs HOA or sent us a note (a fee applies, $15/day per person, $75/day for a group up to 6 or you can get a week-pass). Amenities include: Pool, Tennis/Pickle Ball, Bocce, Shuffleboard, Cornhole, Life Size Chess, Ping Pong, Foosball, Horseshoe, Beach Volley, Basketball, Snack Bar/Restaurant, Lake, Gym. We have some stand-up paddle boards which you can carry to lake. Nearby Sierra Nevada Adventure Company rents out kayaks.

We have a whole house generator that automatically kicks in when power goes out. The area is prone to power cuts both in winter (snow downing trees) and summer (PG&E power cuts to prevent fires). The house also has central air conditioning and central heat, which can also run off the generator. Note that Comcast Wifi may not work during a power cut.

The Chalet has high-Speed Comcast Wifi (the fastest you can get in the area) with mesh network extensions and various work spaces/tables.

The house is spacious. About 2700 sq.ft. with 3 floors, 4 bedrooms and three baths, plus a bonus basement with an extra day bed (that extends to a king) with a trundle. Each floor has it's own private full bath room with luxury full-body shower (top two floors) and a shower a bath (bottom floor). Note that the master bedroom upstairs is a large loft open to the living room and the second bedroom upstairs is only accessible from the master bedroom.

Amenities include a gourmet kitchen with monogram stove, home theater, Jurassic Park pinball machine, pool table, two gas fireplaces, games for young, old, an expansive deck with heat lamp, BBQ, and (soon) chiminea fire pit.

We have an extensive home manual which we can send you even before you rent and we constantly adding tips for things to do and sample itineraries in the home manual and (more slowly) on our website Arnold Lake Chalet.

There are 5 spaces where guests can sleep divided over three floors, but there are several things you should know:
1. 2 regular bedrooms, 1 bunk room and 1 queen bedroom on ground floor
2. Top floor is the "Master" but it's a large loft open to the living room and the 2nd bedroom on this floor has a door that closes but it's only accessible from the Master
3. Downstairs basement (with many windows) has it's own shower, bath, toilet, a pool table, movie theater, a separate wine room, etc.. It's a large space where we placed a trundle bed that becomes a 1 King bed + 1 Twin (but it's also not a traditional bedroom).
When we use the space ourselves, we consider these "5 bedrooms", but you could also say it's just 2 bedrooms + loft + bonus room + basement. Please review the photos to make sure the space works for your party.

Note check out is 11 am and check in is 4 pm.

My family had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Arnold, CA. The listing was very accurate (large deck, great game room and movie theater downstairs, close to Fly-in Lake) and was very clean and well stocked with essentials. Will definitely be looking for this home again next year! Thanks so much!

We just got back from our stay in Arnold, and our family couldn’t be happier about the home. I was blown away by the attentiveness of the owners. They texted me prior to the trip, researched fishing locations, and wrote various times regarding maps and their own research regarding fishing holes. They checked in on us via email after our first night. I enjoyed seeing pictures of the family throughout the house. It made us feel we were in a family home and not a company rental. The location was great, and the amenities were plentiful. I was very pleased!

We had a wonderful stay. There are plenty of great amenities for families. We enjoyed using the game room to watch movies, play pool, and compete for high scores on the pinball machine. The lake was nearby and we spent long hours soaking up the sunshine and fresh air. The cabin itself is beautiful. There was plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is a home cook’s dream. I wound book here again when I return to Arnold.

Loved the pinball machine. House is advertised accurately. Cleanliness good for an either a bunch of guys or for kids. House amenities are a bit dated (bathroom/plumping needs some work), but it was perfect for us.

The property was nice to get away for a weekend in the snow. The master bedroom upstairs is a loft and everything from the kitchen / dining room can be heard back and forth, just a heads up. Also the drive way is extremely steep. It snowed when we were there and there was no way I was going to try to go down it, we would have ended up sliding into the house. So it was a bit of an issue with my mother-in-law getting up and down the driveway as we had to park at the top of the hill. Overall we enjoyed the property and the stay.
