About this property

Charming Mountain Cottage in Blue Lake Springs

Charming, small, pet-friendly cottage located in Blue Lake Springs. Enjoy relaxing on the deck w/outdoor speakers or the peaceful quiet of nature. Newly remodeled and impeccably decorated for a peaceful experience. In winter make snowmen or sled down the hills. Bear Valley Ski resort is just 30 minutes away. In warmer months enjoy access to local lakes. Murphy's and Big Trees are 10 minutes away. Also golf, fishing, hiking, wine tasting, nice restaurants and much more!

This newly-remodeled cabin is equipped with new stainless steel appliances and modern decor. The living room is open with a queen-size sofa bed and the windows bring in lots of light and fresh air. Our cozy cabin is only 452 square feet of indoor space and is ideal for 2 adults. The sofa bed in the main room can sleep one or maybe two small children, but there is not much room for additional luggage and the bathroom is accessible through the bedroom.

The private back patio is huge and is a perfect place to relax, bbq, sit under the trees and enjoy a glass of wine. There are even outdoor Bluetooth speakers to enjoy your favorite music! The bedroom has a queen bed and a closet to store your belongings. Nestled on a half acre, the rustic yard welcomes lots of deer and wildlife. In the fall and spring enjoy the outdoor fire pit. We hope you will enjoy your stay and get some much needed peace and quiet in this cozy mountain hideaway!

We are pet friendly & happy to host your favorite house-trained 4-legged friend, (just 1 please) for an addl $50 pet fee. You will need to let us know if you have a dog when you book. Dog food and food/water bowls provided.

Guests have access to the entire cabin.

Be sure to check the weather prior to your departure. 4WD/AWD and sometimes chains are often required during the winter months, due to heavy snows.

Please note there are two sets of stairs to get up to the cabin from the new driveway. We are not liable for refunds due to PG&E, internet, road closure and cell tower outages. Please note this is a cabin in the woods and that sometimes in the winter there is severe weather and snow making travel conditions challenging. Be sure to check the weather before you make the trip in the winter. 4wd or AllWD will be required in the winter months.

Be prepared for any kind of emergency as we are about 45 minutes from the nearest hospital.

One small pet allowed for an additional fee.
There is a video device facing the driveway and yard for weather and safety checks. This is live video only for owner use and is never recorded.

Guests need to take their garbage with them upon checkout, as trash service is not available. There is a transfer station in Avery where you can drop off trash. (Closed Weds & Thurs). Otherwise, we'll be happy to dispose of your garbage for you for a small fee.

This cute cabin is updated, quiet, and clean. The owner was very attentive to my questions, responding shortly after I sent a question. I was a solo traveler and found this charming cottage perfect for what I was looking for. I will be going back with my husband sometime later this year. I highly recommended this property.

The property and location were lovely, and we enjoyed the nearby Calaveras Big Trees park and White Pines lake. We did not use the deck as everything was covered and the table tarp was filled with water. Would guess this would be better in the warmer months ahead.

Totally great cabin for a couple or a family with a couple young kits. Nicely updated small home. Kitchen had everything we needed and then some. We enjoyed the barbecue, outdoor lights and Bluetooth speakers on the deck. Cute little cocktail out front we enjoyed by the fire. Comfy couch. We enjoyed the indoor dining area but they also have a nice patio set. We will plan on staying here again!

Great visit to Arnold

Our first time renting a cabin in Arnold. We enjoyed our stay and the cabin was very comfortable and clean. We will definitely rent again. We look forward to visiting again this summer when the weather is warmer and we can swim in the lake.

My family and I had a wonderful time in Arnold. Kami made us feel right at home in her cabin. It was beautifully decorated and very welcoming. Before arriving we began to feel worried that it might be cramped because my whole family would be staying (husband, 2 daughters and dog), but the cabin was spacious and very cozy. My girls and dog loved the deck and the fact that they were able to explore around the property. I felt safe as there were neighbors close by, but still felt secluded and private. My husband and I will come back as it is a very beautiful place for a quick escape from the kids and dog.

Quick drive to Calaveras Big Trees State Park.
Even the elves got to enjoy the trip.

Feel the Joy and the Warmth

There are many cute and cuddly places to stay, but this may be the top one. Easy to find. Not too far off the main road, but you feel secluded. Not too large but big enough. Loved all the thoughtful touches, like the candles, wine, extra toiletries, and the outdoor lights that add a touch of charm. We fell in love with this place and stayed two weekends in a row! The owners are very nice and easy to communicate with.

Why they chose this property

We love all that there is to do in and around Arnold including hiking, fishing, relaxing by the lake, wine tasting, exploring, skiing/snowboarding, sledding, enjoying fine and casual dining, and so much more!

What makes this property unique

Although our cabin is small it still feels spacious and we have all the amenities to make it an enjoyable stay! The best part is sitting outside under the trees and enjoying fresh air and nature!
