First time in Arnold, and it did not disappoint! The cabin was in the perfect location and had everything we needed, with more than enough room for our three families. Our preteens and teens loved how convenient it was to the Natural Bridges Trail and cave, White Pines Lake, and the hiking trails at Calaveras Big Trees. After a full day of fun and exploring, coming back to relax in the jacuzzi while the kids played in the game room was the perfect way to end the day. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Mina Elbouihich

Host profile image
We live in the Bay Area and have enjoyed owning our second home in Arnold since 2012. What started as our family's mountain getaway has become a place where we can share the beauty and tranquility of the Sierra with others.

One of the most rewarding parts of hosting is knowing that families and friends are creating their own special memories here—whether it's gathering around the fireplace, exploring nearby trails, enjoying summer days at the lake, or simply relaxing together. We take pride in maintaining a comfortable, welcoming home where guests can unwind and reconnect.

We hope you'll enjoy our mountain retreat as much as we have, and that your stay becomes the start of many wonderful memories.

Why they chose this property

One of our favorite things about Velvet Lounge is its unbeatable location directly across the street from the Blue Lake Springs Recreation Area. Forget packing up the car for a day at the pool—we simply load up the wagon with towels, snacks, and pool toys and stroll across the street in just a minute. It's especially convenient for families with kids, making it easy to head back to the house for lunch, naps, or anything you forgot.

With access to the swimming pool, private lake, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, BBQ areas, and playground, you'll enjoy all the recreation Blue Lake Springs has to offer without ever needing to drive.

What makes this property unique

The fun doesn't stop when you get back to the house! Unwind after a day of mountain adventures in the oversized 7-person hot tub, perfect for relaxing under the stars. Then challenge your family and friends in the game room, featuring ping-pong, shuffleboard, and Pop-A-Shot basketball. Whether you're celebrating, reconnecting, or just enjoying a weekend away, there's plenty of entertainment for guests of all ages.
