About this property
Mountain chalet - Sleeps 14 - 30 mins to Bear Valley - Renovated
Just 30 minutes from Bear Valley Ski Resort, this renovated 5-bed, 3-bath chalet offers a rare combo of mountain adventures, space to gather, and family-friendly design. With 2,100 sq ft on a 0.4 acre lot, it’s the perfect base for skiing, sledding, hiking, or wine tasting by day - and enjoying hot cocoa, board games, and starry skies by night. And with direct access to the Blue Lake Springs recreation center, you can enjoy peaceful walks around the lake, tennis, pickleball, playground fun, and dining without ever getting in your car.
LAYOUT & OCCUPANCY:
The main level features a spectacular great room, fully equipped kitchen, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Downstairs, you’ll find a spacious rec room, two more bedrooms, and a third full bathroom. The home sleeps 14 comfortably—ideal for multi-family vacations or friend group getaways.
STUNNING GREAT ROOM:
Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create a dramatic and cozy gathering space. The open-concept layout connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen—perfect for shared meals and game nights. Relax on the plush sectional, enjoy a board game from our curated collection, or curl up by the picture windows with a good book.
FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN:
Our kitchen is perfectly equipped to help you prepare everything from quick snacks to holiday feasts. You'll find a 4-burner stovetop, oven, dishwasher, InstantPot, blender, drip coffee maker, and all essential cookware. We've also stocked the kitchen with basic spices and baking essentials to support all your culinary adventures.
OUTDOOR LIVING:
Step onto the expansive deck to enjoy a cup of hot coffee, crisp mountain air, or stargazing after a day on the slopes. The backyard offers room for kids to play in the grass (or the snow!), and outdoor ping pong in a serene, tree-lined setting.
WORK & PLAY:
Two dedicated workstations and high-speed WiFi make it easy to sneak in remote work. A whole-house generator ensures you're never without power.
KID FRIENDLY EXTRAS:
We’ve stocked the house for families: Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair, crib, portable crib, booster seat, changing station, children’s books, games, and toys. Plus a cozy under-the-stairs nook for kids to discover, play, and imagine.
CLEANING & HOUSEKEEPING:
Our cleaning fee covers deep cleaning, fresh linens and towels, and trash removal. Note that guests are responsible for bringing their own pool/beach towels for use during their stay.

About the host
Hosted by Nathan Lasche
We love the Arnold area. It's a magical blend of mountains, lakes, vineyards, and amazing activities for all seasons. You'll find us swimming in mountain lakes in summer, wine tasting in Murphys in fall, skiing at Bear Valley in winter, and hiking Big Trees in spring.
We love contributing to the Airbnb community and hosted guests for years at our home in San Francisco as Superhosts. We're now excited to share our beloved home in Arnold!

Why they chose this property
Blue Lake Springs is a magical little community within Arnold, all centered around the Blue Lake Springs Lodge Lake rec area, which is steps from our property. There you can swim in the lake and pool in the summer, and enjoy many other sports and activities year round, such as pickleball, tennis, and basketball. We're also just 5 minutes from Big Trees State Park, and incredible state park with giant redwoods.
What makes this property unique
Our property is one of the only properties in Blue Lake Springs that is directly on the lake, making it a very short walk to Lodge Lake and all the Blue Lake Spring facilities, and offering beautiful lakeside views from our deck when relaxing at the property.
The entire property was renovated in 2024, including adding AC throughout the house.
