We require picture government ID before disclosing keys access. after you book the property, please send Driver L. for all adults and you will promptly receive an updated rental agreement with owner and renter information.

We are continuously improving and maintaining the property, our deck has just been replaced for a brand new one.
Winter: Please keep in mind that winter conditions may require chains/cables and or AWD/4X4. Our street is a County maintained road. Make sure you have a well serviced car and pack a winter emergency bag. When you are prepared, winter weather is a wonderful adventure, so plan accordingly.
With unpredictable weather we highly recommend trip insurance.
Summer: Blue Lake Springs facilities are available for renters for a fee as usual but we do not guarantee that they will be open since we are depending in county health guidelines. We don’t accept cancellations due to change in availability of the BLS facilities. If there are not available you will just travel to lakes and rivers outside the community. Our Calaveras Big Trees State park is open and gives you access to trails, creeks Stanislaus River and the Sequoyas.
Access to the Blue Lake Spring facilities ( lakes, pool, tennis, etc) is granted with a fee ($20 individual, $100 for group up to 6 people per day, discounts for week) payable to them. Snowflake (pool and lake) and FlyIn (bigger lake) are charging separate so you will have to choose one or pay twice. Please confirm I guest services or let me know if you need help figuring out. https://blsha.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Vacation-Guest-Information-.pdf
We have added a mini split in the kitchen/living room area. Summers are getting warmer, so make sure you book our cooler cabin! In Winter, our cabin is cozy and warm. We are working on installing another unit in the main bedroom for summer 2024.
We stayed here in January and had a great time skiing in Bear Valley and playing at the snow parks. The house was in great condition and looks just like the photos. Most importantly, the heat worked, and was straightforward. We've seen other houses, and even stayed in another house in Arnold where the heat was either wood burning, or didn't heat up all the rooms well. The easy-to-use central heating here was efficient, comfortable, and responsive to the thermostat. The beds were comfortable. Checkin was simple and matched the clear instructions. Eloisa was such a great host. We had some questions before we got there, and she was so helpful and patient in answers our questions. After we checked out, I realized that I had forgotten an AirPod at the house. I figured it was lost. Eloisa actually wrote me back later that day that the cleaner had found it in the linens. She went to the trouble of mailing it back to me. We loved the stay and would love to stay here again next time we come, whether it's in the summer or winter.
We had a wonderful time! The cabin was beautiful. Communication from the owner was amazing. We got quick responses to all questions. The location was perfect! Already planning to come back!
We love Arnold and due to unforeseen circumstances we were looking for a place for July 4th weekend at the very last minute. Boy did we luck out! The house is simple in style, but it had everything we could possibly want. It was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. The deck was the real jewel of the house and where we spent most of our time. Nice grill, outdoor dining table, and plenty of chairs to lounge around on. The beds were comfortable and while it was blazing hot up there, the house had plenty of fans to help keep you cool. Eloisa was east to communicate with and also gave some amazing recommendations. It was a lovely last minute find and we would certainly rent it again! Thanks for a lovely stay!
Great place for family of 4 (two small kids), nice host.
Cozy, warm, clean, just about the right size for a family of 4 (with two young kids) for a few days close to Bear Valley. Host was very responsive and easy to communicate. Overall we liked our stay a lot and would love to come back next time we plan a trip to Bear Valley.
We have stayed at a number of vacation rentals in Arnold over the years, and this one was the best for our family of four! The owners have tastefully renovated this cozy home, the kitchen is well equipped, there was plenty of internet bandwidth, there is a huge new deck, and the view is lovely. The owner was very responsive, kind, helpful, and attentive to detail. We hope to visit again!
Great, clean cabin with a beautiflful outdoor deck. EloÃsa was very accomodating and helpful with our stay and with things to do around the area. The cabin is very close to Calaveras Big Trees State Park, Logging Museum and White Pines Lake. There are a lots of nice places to explore. We initially were planning to go to Tahoe, but we were very happy that we chose EloÃsa’s place in Arnold, CA. We hope to be back one day!
Clean kept cabin with a secret loft that sleeps 2. The new deck and view from it was very enjoyable. We ate out on the deck every night. The king bed was very firm but after the second night we got used to it and slept great. Having fans in every room helped cool the cabin down after sunset and the roomy kitchen was nice to cook in. Over all we completely enjoyed the cabin. It was clean, neat and comfortable. And being at the end of a cul de sac there was no traffic.
Great time at the cabin. Eloisa was very attentive. Everything about the cabin is as described. We had plenty of snow we even had deer stroll through. Overall great experience.
Loved our stay, had everything we needed to enjoy the space as a hike base for exploring the area. Would return for return sure!
