Luxury mountain chalet walk to Fly-In Lake (we have SUPs) and 4 mins drive to Big Trees State Park or BLS rec center (requires fee): Pool, Tennis/Pickle Ball, Bocce, Shuffleboard, Cornhole, Life Size Chess, Ping Pong, Foosball, Horseshoe, Beach Volley, Basketball, Snack Bar/Restaurant, Lake, Gym. Whole house generator, air conditioning, central heat. Wifi, 3 work spaces, 3 floors, 4 br + bonus. Gourmet kitchen, home theater, pool table, fireplaces, large deck with fire pit & BBQ. Sleds.The home is about 2700 sq.ft. and has three floors for you to use.



Please read the description and review the photos of the spaces to make sure it works for your party.



There are 5 spaces where guests can sleep divided over three floors, each floor with it's own toilet and shower, but there are several things you should know:

1. 2 regular bedrooms, 1 bunk room and 1 queen bedroom on ground floor

2. Top floor is the "Master" but it's a large loft open to the living room and the 2nd bedroom on this floor has a door that closes but it's only accessible from the Master

3. Downstairs basement (with many windows) has it's own shower, bath, toilet, a pool table, movie theater, a separate wine room, etc.. It's a large space where we placed a trundle bed that becomes a 1 King bed + 1 Twin (but it's also not a traditional bedroom).

When we use the space ourselves, we consider these "5 bedrooms", but you could also say it's just 2 bedrooms + loft + bonus room + basement. Please review the photos to make sure the space works for your party.





Entrance level



Entranceway -- leave your shoes here, and hang up your coats.



Living / family room -- please don’t put your feet on the couches. The gas-burning fireplace is controlled by the remote, but currently not functioning well. If you have trouble just use the switch on the top right of the fireplace to turn on or off.



Kitchen

-- All the appliances and kitchenware are for your use.

-- The ovens aren’t intuitive as they have two controls each. Use the inner controls to set the ovens to “bake”, “broil”, etc. Then use the outer controls to set the temperature.

-- The garbage disposal switch is the small circular knob on the counter immediately to the left of the faucet.



Dining room

Our table has standard seating for six. There are additional chairs scattered throughout the house. There should be 1-2 downstairs, in bedroom 2 and upstairs in the master, in the basement, creating seating for 12. We are looking to add some more chairs.



Bathroom -- the shower sometimes leaks. Mop up any excess water with a towel, and put the towel in the washer in the entrance level hall closet. We are working to fix this.



Bedroom 3 -- has a queen-sized bed. This room also houses all of our extra bedding and towels. Please only use what you need.



Bedroom 4 -- has a bunk bed with a twin mattress on top and a full mattress on the bottom. The bunk bed also has a trundle with a twin mattress which you can pull out so this room sleeps 4 (children).





Upstairs



Bedroom 1 -- queen-sized bed. This is the largest of the bedrooms. Full disclosure: it is open to the stairwell and living/dining area, which gives it a very open/airy feel but could cause noise if there people are congregating in the family room (ask them to move to the basement instead).



Bedroom 2

-- This bedroom is a bonus / hidden room! You enter it through bedroom 3, via a door that looks like a closet door. This room is colder than others, but has a space heater. This room has a very private work station / desk next to a large window. The TV in this room is not yet connected. We are ordering a Roku stick.



Bathroom -- the shower sometimes leaks. Mop up any excess water with a towel, and put the towel in the washer in the entrance level hall closet. We are fixing this hopefully soon.





Downstairs



Kitchenette area

Unlikely you’ll need to use it, except to turn on the water and adjust the hot water heater. There is an exit from the building here that puts you under the deck on the bottom of the hill.



Downstairs bathroom

There is a full bath and shower in the downstairs bathroom.



Basement/entertainment room

There is brand new day bed that pulls out to form a full King with a third person sleeping on a trundle. Since there also is a bathroom downstairs, this makes for a great extra bedroom. There also is a pool table, a pinball machine, a TV and Xbox (not yet connected) and a movie theater controlled by an iPad (works!) -- see below. We stopped advertising the Jurassic Park pinball as it's vintage and fickle and thus breaks often. If you're lucky, it works great but don't count on it. The entertainment room also has another gas powered fireplace and a workstation / desk for work/study from home.

The bottom floor is dedicated to the movie theater, pinball machine and pool table. It's very large and has lots of windows and it's own private bathroom with bath, shower, and toilet. We put a pull out day bed in here with a trundle, so that gives you two twin beds side by side, and a twin sized trundle.

Perfect for a family trip
We truly enjoyed our stay in Arnold and this home was perfect for everyone of all ages. Plenty of space to spread out. Beautiful well equipped kitchen and of course the kids loved the basement amenities. Back deck was nice to enjoy morning coffee or tea and dinners in the evening with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.

A wonderful stay in Arnold
My family had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Arnold, CA. The listing was very accurate (large deck, great game room and movie theater downstairs, close to Fly-in Lake) and was very clean and well stocked with essentials. Will definitely be looking for this home again next year! Thanks so much!

Amazing vacation
We just got back from our stay in Arnold, and our family couldn’t be happier about the home. I was blown away by the attentiveness of the owners. They texted me prior to the trip, researched fishing locations, and wrote various times regarding maps and their own research regarding fishing holes. They checked in on us via email after our first night. I enjoyed seeing pictures of the family throughout the house. It made us feel we were in a family home and not a company rental. The location was great, and the amenities were plentiful. I was very pleased!

We had a great stay at Dominique’s place for the 4th of July holiday. It was perfect location to walk to the lake and we had a great time celebrating at the rec center pool with our little ones. It was clean and spacious. Would stay again!

Great for Families
We had a wonderful stay. There are plenty of great amenities for families. We enjoyed using the game room to watch movies, play pool, and compete for high scores on the pinball machine. The lake was nearby and we spent long hours soaking up the sunshine and fresh air. The cabin itself is beautiful. There was plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is a home cook’s dream. I wound book here again when I return to Arnold.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is in a great location, within a walking distance to the Fly-in Acres Lake. The house has a few small quirks and not a lot of natural light, but it is very specious with a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the pool table and movie theater in the basement. The basement stayed cool even during the hot days. Kids had fun using the paddle board graciously provided by the owners.

We did a big family vacation (with two little toddlers and two doggos) and it was perfect for what we needed. Clean, great amenities, etc. Dominique was super responsive and had great recommendations. Very close to a private beach which was quiet and peaceful!

Good place to start a mountain excursion
Loved the pinball machine. House is advertised accurately. Cleanliness good for an either a bunch of guys or for kids. House amenities are a bit dated (bathroom/plumping needs some work), but it was perfect for us.

Getting around

IMPORTANT: We have a short, steep driveway. It's not a problem to park as long as there's no snow. If there is snow in the forecast, don't park down the driveway. Instead park your car on the top of the driveway or along the road, but completely off the street. Additional cars beyond two can park off the road on Patricia Court cul-de-sac nearby.

Notes
We recently installed a whole house generator which is a big deal as the area experiences frequent power cuts as a preventative measure to avoid wild fires. Note that Comcast Wifi may not work during a power cut due to lack of generators on the Comcast side. A signed rental agreement and houfyProtect ($5/day) which covers property damage and replaces a security deposity are required for rental.
