  • Summary:

    2BR A-Frame Cabin w/ Loft, Free WiFi, Private W/D, & Large Forest-View Deck



    The Space:

    Welcome to Stiles Mountain Hideaway!



    Step into the serenity of the Blue Lake Springs neighborhood in Arnold, CA. Nestled just above the snow-line at 4,000 feet in elevation, this is the perfect location for a mountain getaway, or your home base for an adventure in the Sierras! This charming A-frame brings the cabin vibes in strong! The Great Room features a wall of windows facing the forest and a cozy wood-stove fireplace to keep warm on cold days, making this room the perfect hub for all of your party. Close by is the full kitchen, complete with all of the appliances one needs for an easy cooking experience, along with a large breakfast bar open to the Great Room. Around the corner you'll find a full-size washer and dryer and a full bathroom, equipped with a fully tiled shower. Two bedrooms round out the main level, one with a queen-size bed and the other with two twins. Upstairs, a cozy sleeping loft awaits — it is set up as a Master Bedroom, boasting a king bed, TV, a reading nook open to the Great Room, and a private bathroom with a large skylight. Outside, there is a large, newly constructed deck with a grill and patio furniture, perfect for stargazing and enjoying the big trees, right in your backyard!



    This quaint cabin features easy access from the main roads while still giving the feeling of being secluded in the woods. If you choose to stay close to home, enjoy the many amenities the HOA has to offer at Snowflake Lodge, including a shared swimming pool, two lakes, children's playgrounds, and tennis and basketball courts. If you have the desire to explore, you are in luck--this cabin is conveniently located in proximity to Calaveras Big Trees State Park and the historic towns of Murphys, Columbia, and Sonora. Only a short journey up Highway 4 will land you at Bear Valley Ski Resort and Ebbott's Pass, where there are many outdoor adventures to be had! The supermarket is less than a mile and a half away from this cabin, along wide variety of shopping and dining to explore in the area, including the Sequoia Woods Country Club.

Lovely Cabin!

We loved our stay at this cabin! Used to visit Blue Lake Springs as a kid and was wonderful to share with my kiddos! The Stiles cabin was so cozy and charming! Loved seeing the pics on the walls of the building process! Overall we loved our stay and can’t wait to return in winter to visit Bear Valley to ski!

Great cabin

This was our second time staying at this cabin. Very cozy and the perfect size for our family. The kids loved the rope swing and hiking down to the creek. Has everything you need for a quiet getaway surrounded by forest. Close enough to town, quick drive to Calavaras and the beautiful scenic ride to Bear Valley.

This cabin was nice and comfortable, except it was a little too warm. Loved the loft and especially the king sized bed. We enjoyed the outside deck in the evening.

Nice, quiet and great view.

We stayed there for a few nights and had a great time. The cabin was clean, and spacious. The view from the deck was awesome and he grill made the experience even better. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows very soft. The only thing to complaint about is the downstairs shower and sink don't drain properly and it needs fixing. Other than that our experience was very good and will be staying there again.

Nice cozy cabin in beautiful area

I loved this cabin. It’s got a very warm wooden feel to it. I loved the fireplace. The kitchen was easy to use. The driveway is quite steep and I can’t imagine how anyone could drive up it when there’s snow or ice on it. Thankfully, the snow had mostly melted at that elevation when I arrived. But a short drive up the mountains towards Bear Valley provided lots of snow to enjoy.

Nice little cabin next to Calaveras Big Trees

I visited for a quick retreat, and picked this cabin because of its proximity to Calaveras Big Trees State Park. The cabin is as-described: good kitchen, comfortable beds, nice views. If you stay here, check out the South Grove trail, it's the best in the park (and it you're here for multiple days, save that trail for last). I am very glad I read the reviews. I saw another reviewer's warning about the driveway. If you rent here, arrive before dark, seriously. I got in fine because I came in the afternoon, but navigating this Z-shaped driveway after dark would have been dicey. A photo of it in the ad would be nice. All in all, a quiet, clean, well-appointed space in one of the prettiest spots in California! Had a nice time.

Arnold Cottage

Great location near Arnold and Calavaras Big Trees. The cabin was set up well, the beds were very comfortable and showers worked great. Both the kitchen, bathrooms were clean upon arrival. However, I felt overall the cabin needs a very deep cleaning. I didn’t notice any smells, but there were so many items in the cabin that needed dusting. There was a thick layer of dust on top of the microwave under various items. I dropped an egg on the kitchen floor, the paper towel I used to clean came up filthy. The upstairs floor boards are really squeaky as well as the outside deck. As many have noted, the driveway is very scary. You can enter the driveway at the previous house number and this will take you parallel to the road straight into the driveway, still narrow but easier.
