The Dancing Bear Cabin is set at a 4,300 foot elevation in the Blue Lake Springs neighborhood in the town of Arnold, about a 2.5 to 3 hour drive from San Francisco or San Jose. Dancing Bear is across from the pool & lake at Snow Flake Lodge! And ~30 minutes to Bear Valley Ski Resort. Additionally, just minutes from Calaveras Big Trees State Park where kids enjoy playing on the hillside looking for treasures (the perfect pinecone!), hiking and playing year-round. This comfortable, clean and spacious house is family-friendly with many games, movies & books for all ages! For the little ones, owner's have provided the following (but not guaranteed) a baby gate (for the stairs), playpen, a highchair, booster seat, step stool. In addition, you will find free wifi, television, DVD/CD player & VCR. On the main level there are 2 bedrooms with queen beds, 1 full bathroom, and a great room - with foosball - open to the remodeled kitchen. The upstairs loft has 2 double beds, a twin bed and a 2nd bathroom with a shower. The laundry room is downstairs where you will also find the tire swing to clip on the big tree out front. In the winter we have at times enjoyed building snowmen, snowball fights and, just simply watching the snow drift down to blanket the deck and trees in pure white. There are snow-parks nearby for sledding, and Bear Valley is a family-friendly resort for downhill and cross-country skiing. Outdoor recreation includes hiking at Calaveras Big Trees State Park, golf at Sequoia Woods Golf Course or Forest Meadow, swimming, fishing, kayaking or boating at Lake Alpine, Spicer, Utica and New Melones reservoirs. With an entrance fee, the private Snowflake Lodge (across the street) offers fantastic recreation, including a lake, pool, snack bar, play yard, basketball courts, horse shoes and tennis courts. Proximity to the lodge is very convenient for carrying pool toys for the kids or going up to the house to get snacks to enjoy by the lake. The Lodge also offers various children’s entertainment, such as arts, crafts, and stories, bingo, swimming lessons and tennis lessons. In the summer months, Blue Lake Springs typically offers movies at the outdoor amphitheater to enjoy with the whole family. There are numerous wineries nearby, including Ironstone Vineyards, which also offers a series of summer concerts in their beautiful outdoor amphitheater. Columbia State Historic Park which is a restored old West town right out of the 1800s with gold panning and a unique blend of museums, town tours, live theater plays, shops, restaurants and attractions is also nearby.
