Summer Paradise @ Knotty Pine Chalet in Arnold

Inspired by cabins in the Swiss Alps our chalet is made of knotty pine with cozy reddish undertones & natural decorative rings (knots). It has 24 ft ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and comfy furniture.

This is the 'most entertaining' chalet in Arnold. The game room has a full-sized pool table, foosball, basketball, darts, kids games & board games. A gorgeous collection of 'Spuds Mackenzie', BudLight's mascot awaits!

The decks overlook majestic sugar pine trees at an elevation of 4,400 ft. Wake up to mesmerizing views!

Great location
Great location in the Blue Lake Springs community. We loved the Access to two private lakes, and the huge pool. Minutes to Big Trees State Park, and White Pines Lake. Cabin had more than enough games to keep my 3 kids busy. Neighbors were very nice as well. Would stay here again!
