BLS Family Cabin: Pool & Lake access+Pets ok+Games

Come enjoy the simple joys of mountain life in this sweet, delightfully unique home in Arnold. Surrounded by several mature cedar and fir trees, our cabin provides the perfect setting for groups of friends / family to unwind and reconnect with each other.



Whether you're enjoying a cup of coffee in the skylight lounge as the sun comes up or a glass of wine on the deck as the sun goes down, we are certain that you will grow to love our mountain home as much as we do.



Welcome to LiveAway Mountain Home — your ultimate all-season cabin in Arnold, CA! Our 3-story mountain home is nestled in a lush, private lot of the very desirable Blue Lake Springs neighborhood of Arnold.



With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, the home can comfortably accommodate a group of 11 people and is perfect for multi-family getaways, reunions, or friends' retreats. The main entry of the home leads to its middle floor - this is where you will find the living room with a 65" Smart TV, Dining Area, Kitchen, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Full Bath and the spacious wraparound Deck with ample outdoor seating and dining.



The lower floor has the 3rd bedroom with an attached full bath and also the laundry facilities for the home. The top floor (loft) has the 4th bedroom with 2 queen beds, 1 twin bed (pull out), another full bathroom AND our FAVORITE part of the home - the Skylight Lounge. We won't give away too much about the Skylight Lounge - other than the fact that there are skylights and about a 100 different ways for anyone and everyone to have a good time- think board games, playstation, karaoke, music and more!



And if all of that isn't enough, we've got lots of yard space around the house with gorgeous tall trees and lots of wildlife. Lounging in the hammock or roasting marshmallows at the firepit are our favorite ways to spend cozy evenings.



We are less than a mile away from the Fly-in Acres lake, 10 minutes from Calaveras Big Tree State Park, 20 minutes from Murphy's wine-tasting, and 30 minutes from the Bear Valley Ski Resort.

~ We are pet-friendly and would be happy to welcome your well-behaved dog to the home. We currently only allow 1 pet at a time and there is an additional per trip pet fee of $75.



~ Cell service can be a bit choppy around the town but internet is wonderfully fast most of the time!



~ The home has central heating with a thermostat on the main floor of the home but there is no air-conditioning (the house is well shaded and we haven't needed it yet). We also provide a portable fans in each room- just in case! As the heat rises up, the lower floor can sometimes be a bit cooler during the winter - there is a personal heater in the laundry area for those especially chilly days. We also have spare blankets in all rooms



~ Located in the middle of the Stanislaus National Forest means that you are fairly likely to spot deers, wild cats, coyotes, various birds and even bears. Please give them their space and keep a safe distance. Do not feed the bears or any other wildlife.



~ During the fall through early spring (Sept-Mar), we cover the outdoor furniture to protect it from rain and snow and is not available for guest use.



~ The house is on a septic tank so please DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING EXCEPT TOILET PAPER down the toilets. Trust us, you do not want your vacation ruined by a backed-up plumbing system.
