Blue Lake Springs Luxury Home, 3000 Sq. Ft "Casa De Montana"
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Arnold
We love the area, the smell of the pines, proximity to all of the outdoor adventures that await you regardless of season. I love coming "home" to decompress and enjoy the quiet times with my family and friends.
The Unique Benefits at this House
When we bought our home, it was not intended as a vacation renatl, rather our second home, and as such, it is furnished that way. This will translate in a very comfortable stay for our guests. Please relax and enjoy your stay with us at "Casa de Montana"
Private members only lodge with restaurant, lake, tennis courts, ping pong, basketball, and outdoor movie theater. You will have access to all of this with our home
Bear Valley, a great family friendly mountain with skiing, snowboarding and snowmobile rentals

Truly a home away from home

There are cabins, and then there are homes! We've been going to Bear Valley every winter for the past 10 years, and have always rented a cabin in Blue Lake Springs (as we have friends you live there fulltime). This year we decided to step up to find more "comfortable" accomodations, and were we ever impressed. The owners here have thought of everything. Dare I say, this home is almost too nice to be a vacation rental. We have no need to look elsewhere when we return next ski season. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Owner response:Thank you so much for the kinds words. We're glad you enjoyed yourselves and look forward to you returning to our home.

What else can be said about this incredible home away from home. Every detail and need are addressed with this beautiful house. No hotel or B&B can ever match the comfort, furnishings and price. We are hooked and will make this a part of our yearly vacation spots from here on out. Jon B San Jose, California
