You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Come stay & play in our family-friendly cabin...your very own mountain getaway!

Welcome to Buck Meadows Chalet! Looking for a great home base to explore the Sierra Nevada and Calaveras County? We're it! We love our home away from home, and know you will, too! Centrally located in Arnold, our updated four bedroom, two bath, chalet-style cabin has all the comforts of home and more for you.

We have a fully-equipped kitchen, and a dining room table that seats up to eight, with three more seats at our peninsula. A super comfy and large living room sectional couch awaits you in the living room, along with tons and tons of board games and puzzles, a little reading nook and library with books for both kids and adults, a Smart TV so you can sign into your streaming services (Peacock Streaming Service included), and a Blu-ray/DVD player. Completing the downstairs floor plan, you'll find a bathroom/laundry room combo, along with two bedrooms, each with its own Smart TV.

Upstairs, you'll find two more large bedrooms and a bathroom. One bedroom includes a game room with two arcade games, a gaming console with over 1,200 games on it, a 20-in-1 foosball/ping pong/air hockey/etc. table, and super-sized connect four game. The game room also has a lovely little balcony that gives you a great viewpoint from which to watch the four-legged visitors that frequently visit us.

Buck Meadows Chalet has central heating and air, as well as a wood-burning fireplace. We provide high quality towels and bed linens for you, and also included multi-plugs with USB charging ports for your convenience. Each bedroom has its own chest of drawers for your use, and the downstairs bedrooms each has its own closet for your use, as well.

Our driveway has a mild slope to it, and fits four cars comfortably, making winter parking easier (there is no on street parking allowed in our subdivision). Arnold does get ice and snow in the winter, so be sure to carry chains with you if you are visiting us during those times.

Great cabin!
The arcades were a hit with the kids! Great location - close to market and a brewery - and sno parks were too far out. Family really enjoyed the stay.

It was great. The house was clean and well stocked. It was close to the grocery store and various attractions. There was plenty of driveway parking. We were able to see the deer outside. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.

Great House!
We got together with friends and family for a weekend of wine tasting and a concert. This house suited our needs perfectly! Bedrooms were nice, comfy beds, fluffy towels, nice bathrooms, well stocked kitchen and great porch for outdoor socializing. We made dinner one night and breakfast both mornings and had room to sit around the table together. We had a great time and definitely recommend!

Great cabin!
Very easy check in/check out process. Managers were easy to get ahold of, friendly and answered my questions. Excellent location of cabin. Super close to White Pines Lake, Calaveras State Park (Big Trees), Mercer Caverns, stores and restaurants. Cabin matched its online description. We loved the game room, big sectional couch and dining room. House was clean and well stocked with supplies. The only supplies I would have added were ice trays and garbage bags. We loved the cabin overall and would definitely stay there again!
