No Parking
There is an abundance of parking, with two different driveways. We STRONGLY recommend that lower cars/sedans use the more level driveway to the left of the main driveway. The main driveway has a steep incline at the street line and lower vehicles could have a problem entering/exiting (you’ll understand when you see it). 4-wheel drive and lifted vehicles will be fine.

Meet The Host

My husband and I live in the Bay Area with our 3 teenagers and like many, we love to get away from the hustle and bustle whenever we can. We enjoy all that the outdoors has to offer...mountains, lakes, beaches, hiking, biking, fishing, swimming...you name it!

Getting around

You can walk to the Snowshoe Brewery or Big Trees Market and its surrounding shops, but a car really is necessary to experience everything this area has to offer. Calaveras Big Trees State Park, the Stanislaus River and Bear Valley are just up Hwy 4 to the north and Ironstone Winery for concerts or Murphys for wine tasting are 20 minutes to the south.

NO PETS (severe allergies of family member)

NO SMOKING or burning incense inside

NOT SAFE OR SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN 0-4 years (safety, mainly due to the width of stair balusters)

Must be 25 years or older to rent

Deer Run Chalet is on a septic system so no products other than toilet paper should go in the toilets and only water should go down the sink drains (no food or feminine products).

Please put all things back as you found them

No shoes or food upstairs, please. We think you will appreciate how clean everything is too!

Guest is responsible to pay a $20 replacement fee for each misplaced or lost private lake access tag or parking pass (what the HOA charges us for their replacement)

Deer Run Chalet is privately owned; the Homeowners assume no liability for any accidents, injuries or illness that occur while on the premises or its facilities nor are the Homeowners liable for the loss or damage of personal belongings or valuables of the Guest, including vehicles. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises or others whom they invite to use the premises.

Power outages do occasionally occur that are beyond the Homeowner's control and the Homeowner is not to be held liable. Likewise, at PG&E’s discretion for public safety, electricity may be cut off when heightened risk conditions are forecasted.

No refunds or compensation will be given for any power outages.

Payment Policy
We accept payments made through Paypal or Venmo.
Refundable Damage Deposit
Security deposit returned 3-7 days after checkout.
Notes
NOTE: We love kids, have 3 of our own, but due to the numerous stairs/staircases and lack of child safety gates we feel our chalet is best suited for children 5 yrs and older.

LOCATION: We are ideally located and are a convenient 5 minute drive to the local market, brewery, cafés, ski rentals and rustic shops. We love how centrally located our chalet is!

PARKING: There is an abundance of parking, with two different driveways. We STRONGLY recommend that lower cars/sedans use the more level RV parking/driveway to the left of the main driveway. The main driveway has a steep incline at the street line and lower vehicles could have a problem entering/exiting (you’ll understand when you see it. :) 4-wheel drive and lifted vehicles will be fine.

SNOW CLEARING: Although Arnold does not get as much snowfall as Calaveras Big Trees and Bear Valley up Hwy 4, there can be plenty of snow at times, so be prepared with the proper vehicle (four-wheel drive, chains, etc.). We have a snow blower and shovels for your use in the garage if needed. Professional snow clearing of the driveway for an additional cost can be provided if desired, so please inquire if interested (typically $100-150 depending on the amount of snow).

The exterior is monitored by a securtiy camera to view the driveway/entrance to the porch

Please conserve water and be careful with fire in the campfire ring.
