Magical Mystery Cabin

Welcome to the Magical Mystery Cabin in Blue Lake Springs, Arnold, California! This enchanting private home is nestled on a quiet street, surrounded by the serene beauty of a forested setting. As you approach, you'll pass through charming stone walls and wind your way up the driveway, finally stepping onto the inviting deck.

The Magical Mystery Cabin is a truly unique retreat, spanning approximately 3,000 square feet across three levels. With its whimsical ambiance and captivating design, this cabin offers a magical experience like no other. This special property is not a vacation rental, but one family's cherished second home.

Inside, you'll discover four bedrooms, each with its own distinctive charm. The front bedroom on the main level features a comfortable queen bed, while the back bedroom on the same level also offers a queen bed. Upstairs, the "Princess & the Pea" bedroom awaits, boasting two queen beds for a touch of royalty. For those seeking a more adventurous atmosphere, the "Hogwarts" dormitory on the upper level features eight twin beds, perfect for a group of friends or children.

In addition to the bedrooms, the cabin offers two and a half bathrooms, including a convenient half bath and a laundry room on the lower level. The common areas of the cabin are equally delightful. You'll find three sitting rooms, each located on a different level and furnished with comfortable sofas and televisions. These rooms are affectionately named the Queen's Parlour, Family Room, and Knight's Den, providing cozy spaces for relaxation and entertainment.

The open kitchen with its island seating provides a wonderful space for gathering and preparing meals. The adjacent Great Hall Dining Room features a magnificent 10-foot-long table, where you can enjoy memorable meals with your loved ones.

But the magical surprises don't end there! Downstairs, you can cozy up by the fire in the Dungeon, a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a good book. Kids (and kids at heart) will delight in the Spare Oom, a room dedicated to play and imagination. And be sure to discover a few secret hideouts, such as the Rabbit Hole interior slide (which can also be transformed into the Beanstalk), the House Elves' Hideout hidden behind a bookcase door, Alice's Garden perched above the Rabbit Hole, the War Drobe located in the Spare Oom, and even Harry's Cupboard Under the Stairs.

Entertainment options abound with three Roku TVs equipped with streaming channels and DVD players. There are also two gas fireplaces and a furnace to ensure comfort in the four bedrooms. For added enjoyment, an audio speaker system is installed throughout the cabin, allowing you to create the perfect ambiance during your stay.

The Magical Mystery Cabin invites you to step into a world of enchantment, where every corner holds surprises and every moment is filled with wonder. Whether you're seeking a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this captivating home promises a truly magical vacation experience in Blue Lake Springs, Arnold, California.

A wonderful experience, Magical for Adults but especially children

Fascinating home in the woods, wonderful location, amazing & relaxing stay!! Hostess was wonderful and made our stay memorable. Magical !! We loved our stay in the woods ! The home is comfortably decorated, but the Hogwarts theme leaves nothing out of the experience. - It was reminiscent of night at the museum. The owners were quite welcoming and prompt with all the details we needed for a great stay. The layout of the house is ideal for a comfortable family get together, especially if there are children. The kitchen and rest of the home was furnished with all anyone would need for a great vacation. The location was ideal , friendly small town atmosphere with great markets. We love to cook, and cooked all but one meal in this fully furnished home. The informal dining in the kitchen supplemented by a formal dining room fit our taste to a tee. I’d give it many more stars if I could! Loved our stay and hope to return!!” Claudio Vigil November 2023”
