Nestled between Murphy's and Bear Valley in the serene and quiet Camp Connell neighborhood, approximately 8 minutes from Arnold at 5000 feet elevation. Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and outdoor adventures. This tranquil setting is ideal for nature lovers and families seeking relaxation and recreation alike., the Cozy Chic Chalet (formerly Elskanhús) is a stunningly remodeled retreat that comfortably sleeps up to 11 guests. This inviting cabin is designed for both winter coziness and summer adventure, featuring a warm fireplace and a rejuvenating hot tub to unwind after a day of exploration.

Guests can relax in beautifully appointed living spaces, enjoy the warmth of the fireplace, and create lasting memories amidst nature's beauty. The fully equipped kitchen invites culinary creations, whether it's a casual breakfast or a grand dinner party. Our kitchen is a chef’s delight! We've given our treasured guests full access to the spice cabinet, along with all our gourmet kitchen tools and appliances. Want to whip up some fresh pasta? - molto bene! We have a pasta maker old school crank style, just for you. Our cabin is your cabin. With that spirit in mind, please remember that this is our family cabin and we are inviting you into our home. Be mindful of this and treat our things with kindness and respect. SEASONAL RECREATIONAL AREA AMENITIES (Memorial Day - Labor Day) As our guest you will not only have access to the entire cabin but access to the TWO most favorited recreation centers and ALL of their amenities combined. We have kayaks & stand up paddle boards for guest use if they can transport them. Big Trees Village community recreation center is .5 miles from the cabin (10 minute walk or 2 minute drive). Our guests enjoy amenities like 13 acres of beautiful green space. Facility Amenities include: \- Tennis & pickle ball (both have new courts!) \- Bocce ball \- Basketball \- Two swimming pools \- Frisbee golf \- BBQ/picnic areas \- Children’s play area \- Bingo Nights \- Tournaments \- Movie in the park nights Blue Lake Springs: (10 minute drive) Our guests will need to bring the Renters Card (provided at the cabin) and pay a fee to enter.

Parking is flat and easy, accommodating 3-4 vehicles without the hassle of navigating steep driveways in the snow & ice. Additional services such as driveway snow removal, regular trash pickup, and thorough cleaning ensure a relaxed stay without additional labor. \--- Many cabins in this area require you to shovel yourself in/out and take your trash with you when you check out! That doesn’t sound relaxing to us so we have it included. --- OTHER IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE PROPERTY DIRECTIONS You'll lose cell service along Hwy 4 most of the way from Murphy's to the cabin. \*\*Be sure to download your check in instructions before you lose service\*\* WEATHER ALERT We get a lot of snow at the cabin! We have a snow plow contract for the driveway, but in instances of extreme snowfall, you may be required to shovel the front stairs in order to access the front door (shovels right inside lower deck). If you want to use the spa during snow season (check out the last photo to see how much snow we get on the deck), you may also have to clear a path to the spa. Please be mindful of booking the cabin during the winter if you are not in the physical condition to be lifting and shoveling heavy snow. The power also goes out in the winter, and in some cases does not come back on for days. In these cases we can partially refund your stay less than the night(s) you have stayed, or you can see it as an adventure like we do! There are many many LED lanterns (top shelf of laundry room) and we also have a wood-burning fireplace so it will be warm and cozy while you’re waiting for the power to come back on! You can still cook a solid meal with a gas stove/oven although you will have to light it manually with a match or lighter (sparker will not work without power). Or you can get creative with cooking during power outages over the fire or on the outdoor grill. SNOW CLOTHES On the upside, we have so many snow clothes available for guest use ranging from 2T to 16 youth, to adult XXL. Also snow boots of many sizes (10 toddler through adult 12). Please do not put wet snow clothes away in the bins or we will have a serious mold issue! Just leave anything that’s still damp hanging by the stairway on the hooks. FIREPLACE BEWARE of the hot iron fireplace. Be very careful that kids do not touch the metal or roughhouse near it if you choose to light a fire (firewood and kindling provided). Also NEVER leave snow gloves or boots on or near the wood stove. The plastic and/or rubber will melt. Please do not remove hot ashes from the fireplace. This is a fire hazard. Keep ashes in the fireplace and our cleaning service can take care of it. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Next to a golf course - On a lake ### Things to do - Gym - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 1,640 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70440000/70436300/70436250/8cb55260.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Forest View! 4 Bedroom, Family & Pet-Friendly, AC, & Forest Hiking Access Arnold - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 34 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=70436250&PinnedHotelID=70436250&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101850000/101846900/101846816/9b134d63.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dome Sweet Dome- Unique Mountain Getaway!
