What you will love about this home
The joys of having a 1970’s cabin in the woods is nearly indescribable! This is where lasting memories are made. We have a large deck overlooking redwood, pine and oak trees and the serenity of squirrels jumping from tree to tree. Our kitchen is appointed with an older model electric stove, fridge, convection oven/air fryer, microwave, dishwasher, crock pot/instapot, and coffee maker. There are a lot of beds, as this is the place to relax with family and friends. On the first floor is a medium sized primary bedroom with a queen sized bed. On this same floor there is also a small guest room with a double sized bed. Upstairs, there is one more bedroom with a full size bed and a pull out couch. There is also a very large open loft room with 4 more twin size beds, a futon couch and a very fun ping pong table. In total there is queen size bed, one double bed, one full sized bed, four twin size beds, a couch that pulls out into a bed and a futon that pulls out a into a bed. The living room is open to the kitchen and dining area. There is a wood burning stove (our primary heat source for the entire cabin), a couch, two leather reclining reading chairs and the dining table can seat 6 people, perhaps more.

Our cabin is in a Sierra Mountain town called Arnold. Arnold is known to be different than Lake Tahoe, as we are a quiet, casual town without any commercial influences. You will notice that Arnold still maintains its cowboy feel, as our one Main Street caters to the locals and has not changed much since the Gold Rush years. This is what we love so much about Arnold—it remind us to be grateful for simple things and spending time with family. In this small community there is a Homeowner’s Association called Blue Lake Springs; this is the community where our cabin is located. Blue Lake Springs allows guests staying in this community to have access to, for a nominal guest fee, access to its family friendly lakes, swimming pool (with lifeguards!), tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, basketball, volleyball, ping pong, children’s playground as well as the fun snack bar and the periodic outdoor movies and bingo nights. It is so magical to spend time at the cabin in the summertime!
In the winter, the cabin experience is an entirely different kind of magical experience. We are located at 4,000 feet elevation. During really big snow storms, the cabin gets covered in snow, turning the area into a winter wonderland. Even if there isn’t any snow that our cabin elevation, you can drive 35-40 minutes up the road to a higher elevation where there is guaranteed snow! We have a family friendly ski resort called Bear Valley, where we have SO much fun skiing, sledding and snow boarding!

Additional information
We typically do not allow multiple families to stay in our little cabin at the same time. We have found that when more than one family comes to the cabin, there is a tendency for the play to be more raucous, the music louder, and overall the energy and noise levels are more vibrant than what we, and the rest of the peaceful cabin owners up here, prefer. We are a quiet, restorative community where the sounds and activities that are most vibrant here are the squirrels jumping from tree to tree, the crackling fire and the fishing lines being cast into the lake.
The tranquility in these woods is magical, so we work hard to ensure that those who are invited to enjoy our little cabin are also seeking this type of peaceful nature.
