A mountain haven in the tall trees

Arnold Haven's cabins are the perfect place to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family — groups big or small.

Welcome

"THE MOUNTAINS ARE CALLING and I must GO"

– John Muir

Arnold Haven's cabins are the perfect place to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family - groups big or small.

Arnold, California sits right at the snow line in the Sierra Nevada — plenty of white stuff in winter, but not so much that it's hard to get around. Big Trees State Park is five minutes away, White Pines Lake is down the road, and Bear Valley Resort is a short drive up Highway 4.

“Chalet Bruin was a great place. It had everything we we’re looking for. A lot to do only a short drive away!”

“This was a great house and a fantastic weekend getaway! The location is very close to town and the other activities we wanted to do in Arnold. The house is really attractive with tons of windows and screen doors, and seating on multiple sides of the exterior. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms big, kitchen had everything we needed! Hot tub was great and easy to use. We would recommend this place and would easily stay again.”
