The “most fun” chalet in Arnold!
Inspired by chalets in the Swiss Alps, our cabin is made of “Knotty Pinewood” with cozy reddish undertones & natural decorative rings (knots). It has 24 ft ceilings, fireplace, comfy furniture & surrounded by SugarPine trees with lots of wildlife around.
Our Game Room has a full-sized pool table, foosball, dart, kids games, board games & gorgeous collection of “Spuds Mackenzie”, BudLight’s mascot! Great for families & large groups spending time together!
Our gorgeous chalet is in a fabulous Resort Community with many lakes, golf courses, tennis courts, etc. Enter our property through a flat private driveway with room for 4 cars. It’s easily accessed in snow since the driveway is flat, compared to most homes with steep driveways in Arnold.
As you enter the main door, you’ll experience the charm of our home.
