About this home

A knotty pine A-frame with 24 ft ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace and a game room with a full-size pool table.

A Swiss-style chalet built of knotty pine, with warm reddish tones and natural knots. Inside the front door, 24 ft ceilings and tall chalet windows fill the living room with light, around a wood-burning fireplace and comfortable couches.

Upstairs, the game room brings everyone together around a full-size heirloom pool table, with foosball, indoor basketball, darts and board games, under a collection of retro Spuds MacKenzie art. The redwood decks look out over sugar pines at 4,400 ft.

After five front steps, the living room, kitchen, dining area, two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry and the decks are all on one level. The chalet is in the Blue Lake Springs resort community, with two private lakes, a pool and courts open in summer.

This was one of the most beautiful cabins that I’ve ever stayed at. The location is beautiful and extremely peaceful, with a gorgeous lake nearby and plenty of other things to do.

Danielle, June 2026

The place is really awesome for a family retreat specially with many kids. They took a break from screen time when we’re all together in the cabin.

Romeo, July 2026

We only needed to drive about 5 minutes from the cabin to a lake where our family was able to swim and enjoy the weather for free!

The area

Arnold is a quiet mountain town in the mixed conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada. At 4,400 ft it gets real snow in winter, deer and squirrels visit often, and the skies are clear for stargazing.

  • White Pines Lake and the Arnold Rim Trail, about 5 minutes
  • Calaveras Big Trees State Park
  • Historic Murphys, with its wineries and restaurants, about 15 minutes
  • Bear Valley ski resort, about 25 minutes
  • Sonora, about 45 minutes
