Luxury Chalet near Bear Valley Ski Resort

The chalet is located in beautiful Arnold, CA in the foothills of the Sierras. It is walking distance from Fly-In Lake (seasonal) and a short 4 mins from the Blue Lake Springs recreation center and pool (Memorial Day to Labor Day) and Big Trees State Park. We have a whole-house generator. Summer: from mid-June, the HOA rec center is expected to be open to guests but confirm by Googling Blue Lake Springs HOA or sent us a note (a fee applies, $15/day per person, $75/day for a group up to 6 or you can get a week-pass). Amenities include: Pool, Tennis/Pickle Ball, Bocce, Shuffleboard, Cornhole, Life Size Chess, Ping Pong, Foosball, Horseshoe, Beach Volley, Basketball, Snack Bar/Restaurant, Lake, Gym. We have some stand-up paddle boards which you can carry to lake. Nearby Sierra Nevada Adventure Company rents out kayaks. Winter: we are just half an hour down the hill of Bear Valley Ski Resort, which has also great cross country ski, tubing, and various Sno-Park areas where you can go sledding. With enough snow you can sled in the back yard or from the sides of the swim lake that's walking distance and dry in winter. We have a whole house Generac generator that should automatically kick in when power goes out. This is kind of a big deal since during fire season there are increasingly power cuts to prevent wildfires and winter storms may knock power lines down. The house has central air conditioning and central heat, which can also run off the generator. Note that Comcast Wifi may not work during a power cut. The Chalet has high-Speed Comcast Wifi (the fastest you can get in the area) with mesh network extensions and various work spaces/tables. The house is spacious. About 2700 sq.ft. with 3 floors, 4 bedrooms and three baths, plus a bonus basement with an extra day bed (that extends to a king) with a trundle. Each floor has it's own private full bath room with luxury full-body shower (top two floors) and a shower a bath (bottom floor). Amenities include a gourmet kitchen with monogram stove, home theater, Jurassic Park pinball machine, pool table, two gas fireplaces, games for young, old, an expansive deck with heat lamp, BBQ, and (soon) chiminea fire pit.
