About this cabin rental
The Dean Way Chalet is a large and inviting cabin with three spacious levels in which you can spread out and enjoy. The chalet is set smack in the middle of the Sierras, and is surrounded by beautiful big trees all year round! The cabin is located in Blue Lake Springs in Arnold, California, and is waiting for you and your friends and family!
The chalet has 4 bedrooms, PLUS a loft, PLUS a full lower level with rec room and ping pong room! You can comfortably sleep 14-15 bodies in beds!
Bear Valley ski resort is only 25 minutes away from the cabin! In both winter and summer, it's a fabulous, family-friendly alternative to busy Tahoe resorts, and a MUCH easier drive! Outside this special cabin, in summer you are steps away from two lakes with beaches, as well as access to all the fabulous recreation that Blue Lake Springs has to offer. Tennis, basketball, swimming pools, shuffleboard, organized kids' activities, bingo nights, outdoor movies, playground, volleyball, Snowflake Lodge Restaurant, and more! Not to mention nearby Calaveras Big Trees State Park and numerous golf courses. In winter there is snow all around the cabin and numerous sno-parks, cross country skiing trails, and of course, Bear Valley!
Of course, you don't have to leave the chalet at all to have a wonderful vacation in the mountains. The possibilities are endless -- you can enjoy a barbeque on the spacious deck and admire the tall trees surrounding the cabin, you can play in the snow all around the cabin during winter, you can make a fire and play games inside (puzzles and games are provided too), or you can swing on the authentic chair lift swing hanging from the deck. Our guests tell us that simply hanging out at the cabin is always a highlight of their vacations! And if you must work, we now have two separate workstations (desks and desk chairs) available to make it comfortable for you.

Excellent cabin and responsive host. Only issue is know you must bring your own sheets, towels, etc. I’ve stayed all over the world in VRBOs, so didn’t realize it until right before the trip, so read carefully so you aren’t caught off guard:). Also in the winter during storms there are frequent power outages. Our last 12 hours of our stay we were without power….

Sandy’s house was perfect for our extended family trip—four families with five kids fit comfortably. The game rooms were great for the kids (and adults!), and the house had everything we needed for a fun stay. The heat warmed the house easily, the beds were comfortable, and all the entertainment and appliances worked great. The drive up to skiing and sledding was straightforward, and staying below the mountain meant we didn’t have to bother with snow and ice at the house—just on the ski slopes where we wanted it. Sandy was very responsive and helpful, the directions were easy, and the wifi worked great. I’d highly recommend this house.

Yes the host was great! No bed sheets no towels! It was clean to look at! Found poopy under ware in the upper bed room. The cabin was beautiful and fun.
