Peaceful Cozy Cabin Amongst the Trees with View of Lake Arrowhead

Secluded cozy cabin on private road has a view of Lake Arrowhead through the trees. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat from city life, this restful spot is waiting for you. Rustic log cabin exterior and knotty hickory floors belie the fully modern kitchen where you can compose a fine meal if you don't feel like grilling on the deck or going to one of the many area restaurants. Enjoy hiking through the woods, curl up by the fire with a book, or enjoy a board game with family and friends.

The ~950sf two-story cabin features a modern kitchen and living room with a fireplace on the upper (entry) level. The 24’’ smart TV in the living room is connected to Spectrum Cable TV, Netflix, and a DVD player. Wifi is available throughout the cabin. AC units and gas heating allow you to enjoy the mountains in comfort.

Two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a washer/dryer are located on the lower level. The deck, which is accessed through the lower level, includes a Weber Spirit II 2-burner gas BBQ grill, a large table with six outdoor chairs, and a nice view of Lake Arrowhead and Lake Arrowhead Village. The small dog run is accessed through the deck.

There is a queen-sized bed in the master, a day bed in the second bedroom, and comfortable fold-out sofa bed in the living room. The mattress from the second bedroom trundle can be used in the living room on the portable fold-out single bed frame.

The recently renovated kitchen features a gas stove, large oven, microwave/convection oven, and dishwasher.

Parking for 2 vehicles in front of steps leading down to front door. In wintery conditions the street can be difficult to pass at times. Alternate parking is available, but access might be difficult for people who are mobility challenged. For electric vehicles, we have a 40 Amp, 10KW, Level 2 EV Charger with J1772 connector. There is no charge as long as you only use from 10p-6a.

Neighborhood description
The cabin is situated at an altitude of 5500 ft on the south side of the lake, the moister and more heavily wooded side of the forest. There are only a handful of homes on this private road, which is paved to just past the cabin. Yet, the cabin is well located near yearlong fun at Sky Park at Santa's Village (only 1.3 miles away), plus shopping and summer concerts at Lake Arrowhead Village (also only 1.3 miles away). The cabin is surrounded by pine, cedar, and dogwood trees, in the area described as the "Alps of Southern California". The dogwoods are particularly beautiful in the spring (typically late April through May) when they bloom and in fall when their leaves change colors (typically in October). The forest is home to all sorts of wildlife. Native mountain critters include coyotes, bobcats, black bears, grey squirrels, chipmunks, ground squirrels, raccoons, foxes, and mountain lions. Birds in our mountains include the Steller’s, Quail, Ducks, Western Tanager, Northern Tanager, Wood Peckers, Chickadees, Barn Owls, Bald Eagles, and hawks.

Other things to note:

Absolutely no smoking inside or anywhere outdoors in the area due to severe fire danger. (Vaping OK). You are responsible for yourself and your guests. A minimum additional fee of $50 will be charged if evidence of smoking is found.

We are taking a number of cleaning measures during the Covid situation: 1) we are doing all of the cleaning ourselves to avoid additional unknown vectors and are ourselves fully vaccinated; 2) we are spraying all non-porous surfaces (including the lockbox, door knobs, kitchen drawer knobs, light switches, etc) with a solution consisting of >70% ethanol (shown to kill Covid within 30 sec); 3) we are washing all bedding, including the duvet covers, between guests; 4) we are fully airing out the cabin between guests. We are also keeping up with research literature and local and CDC guidelines.

The turn-off onto the street is sharp and somewhat steep.

We are happy to welcome your furry family. Any pets need to be disclosed and approved. The pet fee is $50+VRBO fees for up to 2 dogs for the length of your stay. Dogs should not be left unsupervised in the small dog run as wild animals can easily jump the fence. Dogs must be house-trained and may not be left alone at the property. If you go out, you must take your pets with you (if they are crate trained and you bring your own crate(s), that is ok). Cats or additional dogs can be approved on a case-by-case basis and additional fees may be required.

The cabin is permitted by San Bernardino County for short-term stays. The permit number is CESTRP-2021-00304. The permit allows for a maximum of 6 overnight guests, two additional day-time guests, and two vehicles, which must be parked in the parking area immediately in front of the cabin. Parking on the street is not allowed as per the San Bernardino County rental ordinance. Additional guests and vehicles are not permitted. Any fines levied by San Bernardino County for violations of the rental ordinance will be your responsibility. An additional charge of $50/day/person above 6 will also be charged.

Notify us of any changes to your guest list at least 48 hours prior to arrival.

Snow and Ice - come prepared. Chains are sometimes required on the mountain roads and needed to make it to our cabin. Weather can be unpredictable in the mountains and chains should be carried in the winter months. The road in front of our cabin is private and may take some time for it to be plowed. On occasion, you may need to park on the next street down and walk up to our cabin. However, access might then be difficult for people who are mobility challenged. Be prepared to remove snow and ice from your vehicle. Also, some snow shoveling may be necessary.

Damages - you are responsible and will be charged for any damages.

You are expected to leave the property in a similar shape as when you arrived. Normal cleaning (bedding, floor, bathroom, etc) takes under two hours. If excessive cleaning is required (well beyond 2 hours), you will be charged $50/ additional hour. For those with approved pets who have paid the pet fee, an additional hour of cleaning is already included.

Attend to any stains (e.g. red wine, blood, etc) immediately. Applying a little hydrogen peroxide (stored under the bathroom sink) on the affected areas does wonders. After the stain has set, it can be time-consuming or impossible to clean. Also, wipe up any standing water on the wood floors immediately.

The checkout time is 11a. Unless late check-out has been approved, an additional fee of $50 for each additional 30 min will be charged and the sheriff may be called.

Security Cameras - located overlooking parking area, deck, and stairs on the side.
