About this house rental

Nestled in Arnold, this lovely house for $395 per night is a great option for your next break. (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.

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.

This cabin was in a great loaction. Very close to everything we were planning on doing for the trip. The cabin is very big with a lot of room for our entire group. The only down fall was the cleanliness of the cabin. The showers and the bathroooms needs to have a deep cleaning. The carpets leading to the downstairs game room were very soiled. The hand rail leading up to the kitchen area was broken and very dangerous as the steps are steep. My husband had to put tape on it so that nobody was injured. The owners did note the showers leaked all over the floor but it was more like a flood. Overall great location and they had a lot of toys to take to the lake it was just the cleanliness of the cabin.

The home is lovely but we did have a few issues! The downstairs was so perfect. The time we were there was extremely HOT and downstairs was very cool. Media room, pinball machine and pool table were way fun! Kitchen and family room were very nice. The home was not ready at check in. Carpets are very dirty. The upstairs is very warm. The very small “room” off the bedroom (loft) was so hot no air vent. Not usable during our stay. The deck was not cleaned and we didn’t use it. Two of the showers (very nice and fancy) leaked quite a bit!

To be clear, this is a 3 bedroom house - not 5. The owners count a futon in the basement game room as one bedroom and a finished closet/storage area off the master as another. The bed in this room is sloped and broken. Another surprise was that one of the actual bedrooms is a loft over the kitchen. My 9 month old crawled around on the tile in the kitchen/living area and his clothes had collected dirt from the floor. I had contacted the owner the week before my stay asking for an early check in. She said she’d get back to me but did not. I messaged again two days before the stay and she responded with an option to pay an extra $100 for early check in and gave me 4 hours to confirm. I didn’t see the message until after the window so there was no flexibility with check-in time. The kitchen was well stocked and the deck area is nice. There is a nearby lake with a playground that’s great for kids. The driveway is extremely steep (there are stairs along side it) so I’d imagine this could be problematic in icy/snowy conditions.

The chalet was very nice to stay in. We loved it was multiple levels to the cabin and pretty cool large room downstairs to hang out and have fun family time. The deck was goregous and views were great. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was amazing. It was very close to the lake which is an added bonus. It was everything we wanted in a weekend trip.

Great location, great owners, great amenities! We had to be out of our home for a week during a floor remodel & were lucky to find this gem. My husband was able to work the entire week on zoom meetings with no WiFi issues, the AC was awesome (95° this week!), we spent so much time in “the basement” playing pool, watching movies, & pinball! We walked to fly in acres to SUP after work daily. We cooked every meal & enjoyed every minute!
