About this property

Newly renovated luxury cabin


The inn is a fully upgraded 3500+ sf 5 bedroom 5.5 bath near Blue Lake Springs but in the town of Arnold.
This former Bed and Breakfast has been redone adding a brand new kitchen with stainless appliances, handcarved tables and concrete counters. The new family room has heated floors and a large custom fireplace. New for 2020, we put in a new flagstone backyard with a 4 foot fire pit and a new charcoal grill, gas grill and cooler!

There are three bedroom suites with new king beds and full bathrooms. A fourth bedroom has two new twins with an adjoining loft that has two new bunks and another new twin that sleeps 5.

Located conveniently in town, where amenities close by including several restaurants, convenience store and bank. Arnold Rim Trail access is 2 blocks away for hikers and mountain bikers. Snowshoe brewery is also walking distance through an old golf course. In the summer there are concerts held every weekend at a small stage amphitheater nearby. The Arnold 4th of July Parade ends practically at the Yellow Dog.
In the winter, Bear Valley Ski Resort is 35 minutes away with sledding even closer.

Fantastic for groups
Our group of six adults and five young children had a wonderful ski weekend at the Yellow Dog Inn. Everything works in the house and the kitchen has anything you could need. We're already talking about when we can go back!

Wonderful Weekend Rental
We have stayed at this property multiple times. We love that all the bedrooms have their own bathroom. We also love the huge kitchen and cozy living room with fire. It is right down the road from the grocery store which is great. We traveled up the road 10 minutes and went for a hike at Big Trees which was lovely. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Perfect for multiple families and friends
The house and rooms are large and nicely spread out. Kitchen was well stocked with pot, pans, plates, glasses, etc. Stayed here with four teens and five adults and it was perfect. The teens want to make it an annual vacation to this house!

About the host

Hosted by YD Rental Agency

Host profile image
We are Bay Area and Alaska natives who love the more laid back pace of the Gold country from Lake Tahoe.

Why they chose this property

The Inn was originally built in the early 90's and has a country charm to it. We added modern conveniences and made it large enough where families and friends can come to reconnect and relax. It has modern conveniences if you need them but if you want to disconnect its easily done with all the nature around you.

What makes this property unique

King Beds for parents! - who likes sleeping in a small twin or queen bed as parents? If traveling with other families some couple always gets stuck on the queen or sofabed. Not so here. 3 new king beds ensure you will have plenty of space to spread out and get a good nights rest.
We have separate kid areas that ensure they can hang out together and have their own space.
No dusty dingy old cobbled together interiors to deal with. New beds, new appliances, new furniture, even new dishes and flatware are in our place.
NOTE: Linens are NOT INCLUDED but can be requested as an option.
Additionally, a caretaker is on site and can help with additional questions you may have about the area and the property!
