Location: Arnold, Gold Country & High Sierra, California, USA (Near Bear Valley Ski Resort and Big Trees State Park)
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Loft + Den, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-10)
A stone's throw away from Snowflake Lake and Lodge, beach volleyball, tennis, and all the other resort facilities of Blue Lake Springs.
It's that cute remodeled A-frame cabin you see peeking out of the forest across from Snowflake Lake. And the inside is every bit as quaint -- from the double decker loft to the lodge pole pine furniture.
In summertime, you are just steps from the Blue Lake Springs resort facilities (and the 12th and 13th holes of Sequoia Woods Country Club). It is also the perfect ski cabin in winter with new forced air gas heat and a wood stove for that crackling fire.
The recreation center offers a swimming pool, 2 sandy beach lakes, tennis courts, basketball, bocce courts, volley ball, ping pong, movies, and other activities all for just a small additional fee.
In the winter months, Bear Valley ski resort, 20 miles to the east, is known as a family-friendly, affordable resort, which offers excellent downhill and cross country skiing for all skill levels, as well as other popular winter activities such as are sledding, snowshoeing, snowboarding and snowmobiling.
Arnold is surrounded by the Stanislaus National Forest, Big Trees State Park, the Gold Rush towns of Sonora county, numerous lakes and rivers, more than a dozen wineries (including award winning wineries, such as Stevenot Vineyards, Chatom Winery, Black Sheep Vitners, Indian Rock Vineyards, Kautz Ironstone Vineyards, and Milliaire Winery), 3 golf courses, three breathtaking caverns to explore: California, Mercer and Moaning Caverns and much more. At 3,000 to 5,000 feet elevation range, Bearadise experiences nature at its very best with four gorgeous seasons.
Fishing and water sports opportunities abound in one of the many lakes, streams and rivers including the Stanislaus River, Mokelumne River, Bear Creek, Rattlesnake Creek, New Melones Lake, Alpine Lake, Mosquito Lake, Union & Utica Reservoirs, New Spicer Reservoir and many others.
If you just hang around the cabin, there is still much to do: foosball, horseshoes, tether ball, tree house, zip line, playset structure, seesaw, swings, hundreds of DVDs, VCR, movie collection, games, puzzles, books and "unfortunately" wireless internet access.
Or let the monkeys run wild on the one-of-a-kind playground in your level backyard. The cabin kitchen has all you need and there's a gas barbeque right on the deck.
Newly remodeled and furnished, there are queen beds in both bedrooms, a queen futon in the loft, a double futon in the upper double-decker loft and a queen sleeper sofa in the living area.
This is a true mountain cabin experience with all the comforts of home (but none of the chores). No pooches or other four-legged, no smoking. Maximum 10 guests.
WINTER AND SPRING SPECIAL: Rent for two nights and get the THIRD NIGHT FREE! Holidays excluded. Just mention VRBO when you call.
Thank You and make yourself at home.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
Welcome to Bearadise,
Thank you for taking the time to review our cabin Bearadise. It has been lovingly restored to its original flavor with cedar planks and knotty pines throughout the cabin. We love Bearadise, its surroundings and the wild life that share our neck of the woods from the wild rabbits and friendly squirrels to the naughty bears that visit us and think that we don't see them.....So, thank you for your interest in Bearadise and make yourself at home.
Why the Owner Chose Arnold
We choose Arnold and Calaveras county because it is only a couple of hours away from the Bay Area and also the Sacramento Area and yet it is a world away with its abundant wildlife, proximity to great skiing, snowboarding and sleighding at Bear Valley, great food and wines at Murphy's and Angels Camp and phenomenal state parks especially Big Trees State Park. We also liked the amenities that we have in Blue Lake Springs including two lakes, pool, great restaurant, volleyball,basketball and tennis courts.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
We built Bearadise to be a family paradise. The cabin is loaded with games to be played inside and outside. Kids will have a treehouse to play in, a seesaw made from a fallen tree, swings and parents have everything from sitting arrangements on both decks to a hammack where they can relax and listen to the birds sing. And if you need to use the amenities at Blue Lake Springs, you are only 2 blocks away....
