The upstairs has a full bath and two bedrooms with lovely log furniture and a vaulted ceiling (one room has a queen bed and the other room sleeps 6).

We offer access to a beautiful private lake in the Lakemont Pines neighborhood for swimming, fishing or lounging on a kayak or raft, or even a paddle-boat. Full guest access for 5 guests is included with your rental and includes lake use, snack shack and lodge activities (Snack Shack and lodge are typically open from mid-June thru Labor Day). Day-use wristbands for additional guests are $5 each. We are also less than 2 miles from the beautiful, and public, White Pines Lake…so many choices!

We want to ensure that you have a great time so please call us or email us with any questions or concerns during your stay.

NOTE: We love kids, have 3 of our own, but due to the numerous stairs/staircases and lack of child safety gates we feel our chalet is best suited for children 5 yrs and older.

LOCATION: We are ideally located and are a convenient 5 minute drive to the local market, brewery, cafés, ski rentals and rustic shops. We love how centrally located our chalet is!

PARKING: There is an abundance of parking, with two different driveways. We strongly RECOMMEND that lower cars/sedans use the more level parking/driveway to the left of the main driveway. The main driveway has a steep incline at the street line and lower vehicles could have a problem entering/exiting (you’ll understand when you see it. :) 4-wheel drive and lifted vehicles will be fine.

SNOW CLEARING: Although Arnold does not get as much snowfall as Calaveras Big Trees and Bear Valley up Hwy 4, there can be plenty of snow at times, so be prepared with the proper vehicle (four-wheel drive, chains, etc.). We have a snowblower and shovels for your use in the garage if needed. Professional snow clearing of the driveway for an additional cost can be provided if desired, so please inquire if interested ($90-$150 depending on the amount of snow).

Despite the recent snowfall, we are still in the midst of a drought - please conserve water and be careful with fire in the campfire ring.

Located in Arnold, this chalet is in a rural area and on a lake. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Calaveras Big Trees State Park and Calaveras South Grove Nature Preserve, while Ironstone Amphitheatre and Sierra Nevada Logging Museum are cultural highlights. Enjoy the area's slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, and don't miss out on the sledding and snowmobiling.
