What you get

Small membership, real savings

One flat annual fee. The savings start on your first direct booking.

10% off the nightly rate

Applied to the nightly rate on every direct booking at Chalet Bruin and Koda Loft. It never applies to cleaning fees, pet fees or county occupancy tax. Holiday blackouts apply: Member and referral discounts don't apply to major holiday periods (Christmas and New Year, Thanksgiving week, and Presidents' Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day weekends).

A bottle of local wine

One complimentary bottle from a Calaveras County winery waiting for you on each stay you book with us directly.

Late checkout until 1 PM

Two extra hours on your last morning when no one arrives the same day. Ask at least 24 hours ahead; it is subject to availability.

Refer a friend

When someone books through your personal link and completes their stay, you earn a one-time extra 10% off your next stay's nightly rate — up to 30% off on a single booking when stacked with your member rate. Holiday blackouts apply, and a holiday booking doesn't use up a reward.

Stay credit on tours you book with us

Coming soon — pending partner approval

Book a tour or activity through one of our partner links while signed in, and once our partner settles the commission we pass a third of it back to you as stay credit toward the nightly rate on a future direct booking. On a 6% commission that is 2% back to you. Credit is posted only after the partner confirms the sale, expires 365 days after it is posted, has no cash value and never comes off cleaning fees, pet fees or county occupancy tax. Stay credit can't be used on a stay that includes a major holiday night either — the same blackout periods apply, and we may update the blacked-out dates for future stays with notice.

2% back on Nomatic gear

Buy Nomatic gear through our links while signed in and, once Nomatic settles the commission, we pass 2% of the product subtotal back to you as stay credit toward the nightly rate on a future direct booking. Sales tax and shipping never count. Credit is posted only after the sale is confirmed, expires 365 days after it is posted, has no cash value and never comes off cleaning fees, pet fees or county occupancy tax. Stay credit can't be used on a stay that includes a major holiday night either — the same blackout periods apply, and we may update the blacked-out dates for future stays with notice.

1% back on OARS rafting trips

Book a OARS rafting trip through our links while signed in and, once OARS settles the commission after your trip, we pass up to 1% of the trip price back to you as stay credit toward the nightly rate on a future direct booking. Lodging and meal packages they add never count. Credit is posted only after the trip is completed and confirmed, expires 365 days after it is posted, has no cash value, and is voided if the trip is cancelled or refunded. Stay credit can't be used on a stay that includes a major holiday night either — the same blackout periods apply, and we may update the blacked-out dates for future stays with notice.

5% back on a Harvest Hosts membership

Join Harvest Hosts through our links while signed in and, once Harvest Hosts settles the commission, we pass 5% of the membership price back to you as stay credit toward the nightly rate on a future direct booking. Harvest Hosts is a yearly RV membership rather than a per-night booking, and taxes never count. Credit is posted only after the membership is confirmed, expires 365 days after it is posted, has no cash value, and is voided if the membership is refunded or the commission is reversed. Stay credit can't be used on a stay that includes a major holiday night either — the same blackout periods apply, and we may update the blacked-out dates for future stays with notice.

Booked direct, always

You deal with us, not a listing platform. Same house, same welcome, and a rate the platforms can't match.

Good to know

The details, plainly

The full rules live in our terms, but here are the questions we get asked most.

What does the 10% actually come off?
The nightly rate on direct bookings made through this site. It does not apply to cleaning fees, pet fees or county occupancy tax, and it cannot be applied to bookings made through a listing platform. Member and referral discounts don't apply to major holiday periods (Christmas and New Year, Thanksgiving week, and Presidents' Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day weekends).
Do member benefits work over the holidays?
The wine and late checkout do. The discounts don't: Member and referral discounts don't apply to major holiday periods (Christmas and New Year, Thanksgiving week, and Presidents' Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day weekends). Stay credit can't be used on a stay that includes a major holiday night either — the same blackout periods apply, and we may update the blacked-out dates for future stays with notice. A holiday stay also doesn't use up a referral reward, so it stays in your account for a later trip. Holiday periods require a 3-night minimum stay; the rest of the year the minimum is 2 nights.
Do longer-stay discounts stack with my member rate?
Yes. The longer-stay discount is part of our rates, not a member reward, so it's separate from your 10% and isn't blacked out over the holidays. Longer stays save automatically: 5% off the nightly rate from 5 nights, 10% from 7 nights and 20% from 25 nights. The discount applies to nightly rent only, not the cleaning fee or tax, and applies all year including holidays.
How does the renewal work?
$95 a year, renews automatically, cancel any time online in two clicks. The discount applies to the nightly rate on bookings made through arnoldhaven.com and can't be combined with other offers.
How does late checkout work?
Members may request checkout as late as 1 PM instead of 11 AM. It is granted when no one arrives the same day and must be requested at least 24 hours before checkout. It is subject to availability and is not guaranteed.
What happens when I refer a friend?
When someone books directly using your member link and completes their stay, you earn a one-time 10% reward that stacks on top of your member discount. Rewards apply to the nightly rate only, are capped in practice at 30% per stay and never exceed 50%, and they expire 365 days after they are posted.

Yes. Cancel any time from your account and you keep your benefits until the end of the paid year. Rewards and credits do not survive a lapsed membership.
