Groovy Days Chalet

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A peaceful retreat awaits you and yours at the Groovy Days Chalet! Surrounded by trees and mountain views, the chalet sits within quick driving distance of Sequoia Woods Country Club, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, the Sierra Nevada Logging Museum, the Ironstone Amphitheatre, and Mercer Caverns. You'll also be just about 30 miles from Bear Valley Ski Resort. During your stay, you will have access to the Blue Lake Springs HOA pool, tennis courts, and lakes, which are only a short drive away. After taking an invigorating dip, fire up the gas grill and host a delicious cookout.

Inside, you'll feel at home under the vaulted ceilings and unique wood finishes. Warm up and enjoy each other's company around the circular fire table or prepare a warm cup of coffee or tea in the well-equipped kitchen. After indulging in a delicious meal, gather for a family game night in the living room.

Enjoy lovely sunset views from the deck as evening falls over the wilderness beyond, and throw your adventure garb in the private washer/dryer to be refreshed for the coming days. Additional amenities you'll appreciate about Groovy Days Chalet include smart TVs, a Pack-N-Play, and internet access.

Great Find and Great Location
Our stay here was fantastic. The cabin was VERY CLEAN. Which we appreciate immensely. All dishes and appliances including stove, oven, bbq, coffee maker worked well and were clean. Shower was good. Good location we visted Murphys, moaning caverns, ebbetts pass, etc and this location was great to see it all. We enjoyed the access to teh HOA Private lake. What a great place to spend the day - highly reccomend. Loved this cabin and couldn't reccomend it enough! Would stay here again

Great spot for skiing weekend!
We had a great weekend at this lovely home. We loved the alternative to the “carved bear” Sierra experience. It’s close to restaurants and a great outdoor rec center. Highly recommended! We’ll likely be back.
