About this property
Chalet w/ Hot Tub + Bar + Bocce
Summary:
Nestled on the edge of Stanislaus National Forest, Chalet Bruin boasts lofted A-frame ceilings, dual stone fireplaces and a full kitchen. A wrap-around deck claims both sunrise and sunset views, plus a 7-person hot tub, an alpine bocce ball court, a library of board games, and a wet bar keeps boredom at bay. This A-frame Chalet defines "cabin comfort" and is only minutes from groceries, Snowshoe Brewery, Hinterhaus Distillery, and White Pines Lake, and a short drive from Bear Valley Ski Resort.
The Space:
This 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, two-level A-frame cabin - easily sleeps 8. On the main floor, you'll find two-bedrooms, one bathroom, laundry closet, kitchen, a dining room with pellet stove, and the wet-bar. Three-sliding doors open to the wrap around deck. On the top floor, you'll find a living-room with fireplace and smart-tv, master bedroom and dual sink bathroom.

Ever hear of alpine soccer? Well, Chalet Bruin has alpine bocce ball (not as sloped as alpine soccer though; that'd be crazy).
Winter-loving skiers will find Bear Valley Ski Resort (the closest ski resort to central and south bay time-wise) only a short drive from Chalet Bruin while warmer weather enthusiasts will find their days can be packed with mountain biking, golfing, frolfing, wine tours, paddle boarding, kayaking, white-water rafting, cave exploring, hiking, fishing and, panning for gold – and all are within a fifteen to thirty minute drive.

The Neighborhood:
Tucked within lush forest at 4,000 foot elevation, Arnold, CA is your gateway to hiking, fishing, mountain biking, white water rafting, skiiing, wine tasting and romantic weekend getaways. Just minutes from Calaveras Big Trees State Park, the town of Murphys, foothill Gold Country, and the Stanislaus National Forest, and 30 mintues from Bear Valley Ski Resort. The Meadowmont subdivision where this home is located has been a backbone of the Arnold area for many years as it has the only grocery store in Arnold, a shopping center, brewery, lodging and more. On the north side of Meadowmont, the neighborhood backs to roughly 8,500 acres of Stanislaus National Forest lands (called an interface), which provides plenty of hiking, biking, and hoof opportunities, as well as a connector to the new Arnold Rim Trail.
Getting Around:
To fully experience everything this area offers, you'll want a reliable car and possibly bikes. Street parking is abundant. For those looking to explore the wine country of Murphys, CA without driving - there are transit options like the Saturday Hopper Line, the Calaveras Connect bus routes, and Stagecoach Limo that will take you back and forth from Arnold and Murphys wine country.
Other Things to Note:
-Cell phone service can be spotty.
-We will consider up to two dogs per visit.
-The entrance to the main cabin is up multiple sets of steps.
- Please do not disrespect our neighbors property. The zipline is our neighbors, do not use this.
- Quiet hours start at 10pm. Again, don't disrespect the neighbors.
