One of a kind escape bungalow in secluded Blue Lake Springs, just on the outskirts of Arnold, Ca.
Located on a secluded drive with a view of Fly In lake, you’ll feel like you are miles away from anyone or anything. Our cabin includes some great modern amenities, while still giving you the feeling that you’re far away from the day to day hustle and bustle of the city.
Decorated in the classic style of the rustic American cabin, our getaway is decorated with knotty pine throughout. The spacious wraparound deck overlooking the lake, outdoor spa and outdoor breakfast nook (available during the spring & summer) are perfect for enjoying the solitude of the mountains.
Fly In Lake is directly across the street. The gently sloped beach makes for a perfect swimming hole for the kids. During the evenings enjoy a view of the stars while unwinding in the heated spa. Take in the romantic summer sunsets on the deck and enjoy an outdoor meal on the beautiful teakwood dinner table.
Small and cozy, the two bedroom/1 bathroom cabin can still sleep a family of four comfortably. The kids room has a bunk bed and TV with an assortment of kids movies. The master bedroom has a California king size bed with a window overlooking the forest and lake. The futon in the living room can also be easily converted to a bed.
The kitchen is small but functional, and includes a small stove and fridge. There is no kitchen table for dining, although the coffee table in the living room converts into a small dining table. There is also a very small table for the children. (Kids table is best suited for kids 8 or under, and can seat two).
For those who absolutely must maintain some sense of what’s going on in the real world, the cabin is equipped with wireless internet access, and an IPod compatible stereo system. An outdoor wireless speaker system allows you to enjoy the music indoors and out. There is also a small TV with basic cable access and a selection of 30 or so movies.

We had a great time at your cabin this past weekend. Very nice work on the knotty pine siding -makes for a cozy feel to your place. Such a perfect place for the three of us. We really enjoyed the spa.

While this is a cute cabin, it is not one that I will rent again in the winter. Due to heavy snow fall and a steep driveway, the snow plows couldn't/wouldn't plow anything. So, we ended up shoveling a spot for our car and a path to the cabin...a 2-3 hour job with the amount of snow they had. Since you never know when it's going to snow that hard and it's not an experience I want to repeat, we will not be returning in the winter. I do want to say that the owner was very nice and it states in the contract that if the snow plow can't come you are responsible for shoveling. So, it wasn't his fault. But, since the driveway is so steep the local plow companies can't plow it if there's appreciable snow fall. So, if you're going up during ski season, be prepared.
