About Cecilia
Blue Lake Springs has been a family tradition since the mid 1970's. My family has owned this cabin for 29 years, and have seen our children and now grandchildren enjoying fishing in the Lodge Lake, swimming in the pool, outdoor movie night, etc.
Cecilia purchased this House in 1989
Why Cecilia chose Arnold
We bought our cabin here after tiring of the long trek to Lake Tahoe, and looking for some place closer to home.
What makes this House unique
Our cabin has direct access to the Blue Lake Springs recreation facilities. This makes it the ideal location for families where easy access makes it fun for the whole family!

Nice house, with some issues
We have stayed 3 nights in the house - 2 families with kids. Chose it because of the easy access to the small nearby lake.
The location was perfect, and the house was a bit dated but OK.
The neighborhood is very quiet, and lovely to stroll around.
The little lake (more of a big pond really) was very nice, and perfect for the kids to enjoy playing in the sand and in the water.
The beds were comfortable.
The owner was helpful and quick to respond on communications before our stay.
Reducing one star for cleanliness - overall it was less clean than typical VRBO rentals, and there were some spots, such as under beds, where clearly no cleaning has happened for a long time. Lost items covered in dust and dirt were showing up in a few spots.
And one star for the lack of sheets and towels. The owner spells it out, so nobody should be surprised, but we were all surprised to realize that it's not only personal towels that we needed to bring, but there isn't even a single kitchen or bathroom hand towel, or floor mat. As a result the bathroom floors easily get wet and slippery. After the first kid took a shower, we already had another kid injured by slipping on the wet bathroom floor. Usually there are floor mats or towels, or you can use some extra towel on the floor, but this house had none provided.
This is highly unusual for a VRBO rental to have no sheets and towels. I hope the owner would change that. It would have been a 5 star stay without the issues mentioned above.
Thank you for candid review. I could see from your previous reviews that "dust bunnies" are a pet peeve of yours and I have instructed my cleaning service to make a much better effort to "trap" them! Your children managed to find crawl spaces I didn't even know existed, but I will have those cleaned out too...
Most cabins in Blue Lake Springs to not provide linen/towel service, unless you go through an rental company, and it is always an extra fee. As you say this is clearly spelled out in our House Information, and repeated in our many emails. We do offer unlimited paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc to make up for this:)
Hope you can enjoy Blue Lake Springs in the summer. The Lodge Lake is wonderful for children, and Blue Lake Springs Recreation has great activities for kids, swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball, bingo, campfires...your children would love it!
Cheers,
Cecilia
Great place to enjoy family or friends!
This cabin is exactly what you want for a getaway. My friends and I loved the A frame style with open concept. We spent most of our time on the beautiful deck or playing games on the large dining room table. We went up the road about 5 miles for a great hike at Big Trees State Park. The facilities for this cabin you can’t beat. We played tennis is the mornings and star gazed on the dock just a few yards from the cabin. Very peaceful place to unwind. It’s not a house, it’s a cabin which is exactly what we were looking for!
Wonderful family vacation
Wonderful end of summer family vacation. The location was perfect. We enjoyed the lake and the pool. The cabin was well maintained and clean. Most of activities were over for the summer, but we have already reserved for next year!
Great family getaway, perfect Blue Lake location
This is our third stay at this wonderful cabin. We love the location and not having to get back in the car once we arrive...we just walk out the door and down to the lake or pool. Our kids love the activities outdoor movie night, bingo, ping pong, shuffleboard etc. Cabin is well equipped and always spotless on our arrival. We look forward to returning this summer.
Best Location In Blue Lake Springs!
We have stayed at this cabin for many summers and always had a wonderful experience. The cabin is perfect for our family, nothing fancy but always clean and has everything you need for a family stay. It's comfortable, cozy, and it is the best location ever; just a stone's throw from the lake. Our kids never want to stay anywhere else!
Comfortable, clean and very relaxing!
We had an amazing weekend at this well-stocked cabin. Just footsteps from BLS lake, the kids could dig in the sand while we watched them from the deck. My husband utilized the dinner bell hanging from the back window and we could hear him from our lounge chairs while our feet were in the lake.
