About this property

3 Bedroom, 2 Bath 1600 sq feet tri-level home sitting on one acre in Blue Lake Springs, Arnold. Sleeps 6 very comfortably.
Master bedroom is a loft on top, with California King bed and master bath with roomy shower/tub that looks into the trees. Main floor has spacious full-equipped kitchen with cozy living room and wood-fired stove. Features a new deck that spans across the home. Deck has gas-fired grill, patio table and great seating chairs for gazing at the trees and stars at night. Bottom floor has two bedrooms. One bedroom has full sized bed with bunk beds.

Downstairs bath with stall shower. All beds (except for the bunks) have memory foam toppers and are very comfortable.
Linens/towels/dishes/games - everything you need to enjoy some time away! Plus wi-fi, Apple TV/Chromecast for streaming. (no cable tv) Note: Do not misplace the Apple TV remote. Lost remotes - $75 charge.
20 minutes away from Murphy's - which has numerous wineries and restaurants. While in Murphy's check out the Ironstone Vineyard Concert series!
35 minutes away from Bear Valley for skiing/snowboarding plus cross country skiing and snow fun.
Blue Lake, 1.2 miles away from the house, in the summer offers awesome family recreation - complete with pool, lake, bbqs, snack shack, tennis, basketball and bocce courts. (there is a daily fee - $15 per person or $75 for a group up to six)
White Pines Lake a quick 10 minute drive is great for fishing for blue gills and small bass. And has a great disc golf course that goes around the lake.
Big Trees Calaveras Park is minutes away and offers awesome hiking.
If coming during the winter: highly recommend all wheel/4-wheel drive vehicles if it is snowing. Even after the snow and the roads are clear, it can be icy. While my driveway isn't a super-steep downward slope, it is still a slope and vehicles do have an issue getting out in snow or icy conditions.
Please note, Robin's Nest is my home, I do stay here during the year so this is not strictly a vacation rental. I ask that you be respectful of my home, my personal belongings and items.
A note about taxes. In November 2018, Calaveras County approved Measure G, increasing the Transient Occupancy Tax from 6% to 12% in order to bring in much needed to enhance emergency response programs and services. You will see this charge once you make your reservation with HomeAway.

About the host
Hosted by Robin Latta
I rent in the Bay Area, since I can't afford to purchase a home there, I decided to purchase a vacation home in the mountains. We love to hike, fish, ski and just hang out in Arnold. It's a super-family friendly area and everyone I meet here are incredibly nice.
Why they chose this property
Arnold is a great town. There are quite a few lakes (public and private) that are fun to swim and fish in. It has excellent hiking and smack in between Murphys where you can wine taste and Bear Valley where you can ski. Only a 2 1/2 hour or so drive from the Bay Area, it's a great place to unwind without the hassle of driving all the way to Tahoe. I looked for almost a year when I decided I wanted to buy in Arnold. I thought I wanted the classic chalet, but when I saw this house, I was immediately drawn to it because of the views and the ability to see trees in virtually every room in the house. It's really not a cabin, it's a cozy home in the woods. I will continue to improve on things as I go.
What makes this property unique
This house is in a unique location. Many Blue Lake Spring homes are close to each other - this one is super private. Sitting on the deck you can watch the pines sway and listen to the tranquility of the woods. The kitchen is perfect for cooking and gathering with friends and family.
