About this property

Newer Luxury Cabin In Blue Lake Springs

Thank you for your interest in our family cabin. Built in 2007, our spacious 4 bedroom cabin can accommodate large groups and has modern amenities such as HD televisions, satellite TV, smart TV for Netflix login, and WiFi. Each bedroom is equipped with a mobile AC unit.

Arnold is located close to attractions such as Bear Valley Ski Resort, Big Trees State Park, the Stanislaus National Forest, Murphy's historic downtown with many restaurants and winery tasting rooms, caves and caverns from gold country era and all that Calaveras County has to offer.

From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend guests have access to the Blue Lake Springs pool, lakes, and rec center. Guests use the BLS HOA guest card located at the cabin and pay the guest fees at the rec center.

Main Level:

Great Room: A true cabin style great room with arched wooden ceiling, large windows with forest views and a gas stove. There is ample couch space to enjoy the high definition TV with DirecTV, bluray player, and built-in WiFi apps including streaming Netflix.

Kitchen: Modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. Kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, cooking utensils, and dishes, bowls, and silverware for those large family get-togethers. The dining area adjacent to the kitchen contains a large table with seating for 8. Half bathroom is located off the kitchen and the laundry room is located through the back door entrance.

Master Bedroom: Located on the main level just off the kitchen, the master bedroom has a king bed and an attached bathroom.

Deck: Large deck is located off the great room through the sliding glass door. Enjoy beautiful views of the Sierra woods as the adjacent lot has not been developed. Great for gatherings, a gas grill is available to enjoy an evening BBQ with family and friends.

Upstairs:

Loft: Open loft area overlooking the great room, contains queen futon that opens to sleep 2. Kids can enjoy smart HD television with DirecTV, streaming Netflix, bluray player, and Nintendo Game Cube video games. Full bathroom and 2 bedrooms located adjacent to the loft.

Bedroom 2: Queen bed plus enough space to set up pack-n-play crib for infants (included and located in closet).

Bedroom 3: 2 twin beds

Lower Level:

Bunk Room: Kids bunk room with dual bunk beds (4 beds). Also contains a futon chair with ottoman that unfolds to sleep an adult or child. Half bathroom attached. TV, smart blu-ray with apps, Xbox-360.

Game Room: Contains pool table.

Warning: The cabin is built on the side of a hill. The driveway is very steep and cannot be used if there is snow on the ground. Without snow, any SUV and cars that are not too low to the ground can navigate it to park in the garage. There is extra parking at the bottom of the driveway there are stairs that run parallel to the driveway. There are also additional stairs from the top of the drive way to the main entrance. This many stairs can be a challenge for older people or people with leg/knee problems. Steep driveways are very common in Arnold and most groups do not have an issue but I want to disclose this so guests are not surprised when they arrive.

Overall bad experience

I have rented countless properties all over the country through this site and others, and I think I have complained maybe 1 out of the 50. But I’ve never written a bad review... until now. I’m also filing a complaint with VRBO which I have never done. This cabin is nice in that it is modern with updated finishings. The downside is that it is not kept up well at all and was dirty. We ended up having to deep clean it ourselves because especially with Covid and a six-month-old, we did not feel comfortable staying there. We could not even trust that the bedding or towels were clean. The cabin is tidy upon arrival. But tidy does not equal clean. The hardwood floor from our first 10 minutes left our socks black... I took pictures.clearly no one had mopped in a long time. My mom found hair on her pillow in her room. There was dust everywhere, especially along the baseboards. I took pictures of that as well. The dust was so thick I’m not sure anyone has dusted in years. Finally, the carpet upstairs was clearly not vacuumed as there were bits on the carpet. Again took pictures of that too. We also bought sheets to lay over the sofas because they’re in an awful condition. I messaged to let the property owner know of the cleanliness issue (and a dryer issue) so they could address it with their “cleaning” company for the next guests and the response I received was basically calling me a liar because no one had said that prior to me. This is an extremely ridiculous response since my comments were not that the cleaning company has ALWAYS failed to clean, but rather THIS time it wasn’t clean. A simple “I apologize you had a bad experience but if you could please send me the photos so I can make it right” would have sufficed! I asked for the name of the cleaning company so I could contact them directly and he did not provide it. That leads me to believe that there is no cleaning company. If you’re looking for a tidy cabin, this is a great option. If you’re looking for a clean cabin, this is not the cabin for you.

Family fun!

What a beautiful home! My family and I got the upstairs, Nana main level master and sister and her family downstairs. Playing pool with the family was a blast! The stairs are no joke! Luckily we were all able to manage pretty good. The driveway is as steep as they say, my Honda Accord scraped going up and down. We went Aug 20,2020. It was in the 80's cool at night with the window fans. The portable AC provided helped keep the main level cool during the day. We visited big trees park and can't wait to return! Thank you!

Weekend in Arnold

Overall we had a good time at the cabin. Lots of pots and pans (old) plates, glasses, etc. We found some spider webs in one of the rooms. Most of the furniture is old and the owners should invest in new bathroom towels, pot holders and kitchen towels. The driveway to the house is very steep but luckily we brought our 4x4.

Wonderful stay!

Great location! The house had most of everything we needed. We were concerned about no AC but it wasn’t an issue for us. The portable AC unit did it’s job and it was cool enough at night to cool the house down with some windows open. Owner was very responsive. We enjoyed dinner on the patio every night. Lots of stairs but on a positive note it was some calorie burning we needed. We were able to pull our vans up the steep driveway. House is well equipped with entertainment for the kids.

Great house for family vacation!

Love the cabin all the space that they had. Really liked having games in the pool table to keep us busy when we were at the cabin. I would say the only downfall is that there is no AC. It wasn’t bad for us but it was a little bit warm in the upper bedrooms,It wasn’t bad for us but it was a little bit warm in the upper bedrooms, even with following the great detailed instructions that the owner left. I would highly recommend this place for a large family or couple of families to get together it’s a beautiful location!

Amazing cabin

We enjoyed staying in this cabin so much. It is very spacious with great layout and everything you need. The rooms are spacious and quiet with very comfortable beds. Kitchen is fully stocked and has lots of extras that we didn’t find in other rentals. It is located on very quiet street so you definitely will have a good night sleep here. We would love to come back!

Great Thanksgiving Getaway

The house accommodated our family of ten nicely and Rob was extremely accommodating to our needs. He refunded the pet fee when we decided bring the dog was not a good idea (thank goodness we didn’t bring him as he couldn’t have managed in all that snow). Parking places had been cleared of snow when we arrived and the steps. We had lots of fun playing in the snow. Thanks Rob😊

Modern, spacious and very warm and inviting

We came to this cabin for a Christmas destination! It was warm for winter and we really loved the room. We had 11 people and there was plenty of space! Top of the line appliances and everything you could need for your trip. The owners are very responsive and take pride in their home. We loved the smart tv's with Netflix and the internet was perfect for everyone to utilize there social media with slowing down. the Nintendo game cube was a hit with the kids! All in All we had a wonderful family vacation!! As previously mentioned in other reviews there are ALOT of stairs but if you are in decent shape its no worries! We had great leg workout :-) Thanks to Rob for a being a great host!

This was the perfect house for our family!

We stayed in this lovely house for a long weekend with extended family for celebrate a milestone birthday. The house is very clean and has everything you could possibly need. The teenagers especially loved the pool table. There is no central A/C, and it was quite hot the weekend we were there, but they brought in a large portable A/C unit that worked amazingly well so the house was just fine temperature wise. We visited Moaning Cavern and highly recommend it. We also hiked to some swimming holes in the area - so much fun. The owner Rob was very helpful before and during our stay, and Tracy the caretaker went over and above to help us too! (As others have mentioned, there are a lot of stairs up to the front door so not the right fit for less mobile people.)

2018 Memorial Day weekend

Good - Pet friendly. Great room layout. Lots of room. All amenities provided. Bad - Access. Very steep driveway. My daughters electric vehicle couldn't make it up. Plenty of parking near the street but she has a 17 month baby and had to climb a lot of stairs . I don't believe in 5 stars so I guess 3 out of 4 is good. Great house... just be prepared to climb a lot of stairs.

Perfect Autumn retreat

Where to start? Rob is an awesome host, very flexible and generous. The house is spacious and well designed for privacy with bedrooms on 3 floors. It was very clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. Access to Netflix and all kinds of great movies/TV shows on demand. Great pool table on bottom floor. Yes, the driveway is very steep. We managed it in our AWD just fine. Others in our party used the three parking spaces below and climbed up the stairs that parallel the driveway. We'd love to book again!

Perfect cabin for a family vacation - it has everything you need in a beautiful setting.

We had three kids, two adult couples and a single adult, and the bedroom arrangement was perfect. The kitchen is stocked with every kind of pot, pan and dish you would need, and the appliances are top of the line. The deck on the main floor is great for meals and is very secluded. We'll be back!

Lovely cabin in the woods

Our combined family group of 9 stayed at the cabin in July. The cabin is beautiful and completely updated with high end touches such as a Bosch dishwasher. Rob the owner was very responsive to all of our questions or concerns. The steep driveway worried me at first, but we quickly adapted and this would not prevent us from coming back in the future.
