About this house rental
Enjoy a lovely, custom-built home nestled in the woods located on one plus acre in Arnold. The Chaffalu Home is only a 2.5 hour drive from the Bay Area. The home (3000’ elevation) is perfectly situated near Bear Valley Resort (27 miles) and Downtown Murphys Village (10 miles), known for their charming Main Street inclusive of high quality cuisine, boutique shopping, historic architecture and boasting over two dozen wine tasting rooms. Outdoor activities include hiking, mountain biking, swimming in our private pool, local public-access lakes, skiing/snowboarding/sledding at Bear Valley Resort, 5 miles to Calaveras Big Trees State Park, approximately 2.5 hours to Yosemite and 3.25 hours to Tahoe.
The home has something for everyone: the peace and quiet of a small town, with charming restaurants nearby and wine tasting just a short drive away; plenty of outdoor activity options to choose from or just cozy up inside by the fireplace with a mug of hot cocoa. Kids will love the double bunk beds downstairs and huge playroom as well as large backyard with basketball court, sports equipment and toys.
