♥ Welcome to “The Mountain Cottage,” a forested charmer. This pristine cabin includes long walks in one of the last old forests. You can take in the views of the valley and Catalina on a clear day during a beautiful short walk to the edge of the mountains. AND enjoy the local shops and some of the best places to eat on the Mountain while there. The location of the Mountain Cottage is perfect. 2 miles from Lake Arrowhead Village.
It sits on a beautiful, heavily forested lot, so you are in the forest yet just minutes to all that the area offers. At about 5900 feet, the Mountain Cottage enjoys all four seasons. The climate is mild in the summer that turns into Fall colors, and blooming wildflowers in the spring, and enjoys the snow in the winter for romantic getaways, skiing, and snowboarding. Offering a large private patio with forest views and visiting deer, quail, chipmunks, and squirrels, oh my!
You will enjoy the birds singing, the quiet, and no street lamps - so peaceful, you won’t want to leave the outdoors grandeur and beauty from every window.
For those who are interested in outside activities, the area offers a variety of hiking, biking, star gazing, and fishing, as found in the Lake Arrowhead Communities.

It is a separate private Cottage with a private deck - a feeling of seclusion and a mountain gem, treat yourself and come for a stay. 'The newer, luxurious, details make it the perfect place for 2 people - couples, honeymoons, mom and daughter, sister, best friends, bird watchers, artists, and writers' escapes. It is one of the more rural areas in the mountains.

We hope you will come back and stay in our cabin again and again, as many others have.

Enjoyed Our Stay!
My boyfriend, 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier and I stayed for the weekend! Our big adventure was skiing/snowboarding at Snow Valley which was less than 30 min away including traffic which was a perfect distance for us. Cottage is cozy and has every convenience you need for a fun getaway!

Weekend Getaway
It's a very cozy granny suite. Perfect for the two of us and our dogs. We wanted to be close to the grocery store and enjoy some snow before it was gone. Donna greeted us and was very knowledgeable of the area and it's history. We met some of the neighbors as well and they all were very friendly. If we get the chance to go again we will!

Amazing Experience
Everything was clean and it looked so nice and cozy inside! We had no problem communicating with the hosts. Even though our check out time was at 11 AM, they gave us permission to stay a little longer if we wanted to rest some more or get our things ready without any hurry. Donna’s very kind! Thank you! We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful cabin in the mountains
The mountain cottage was the perfect base camp for exploring the San Bernardino National Forest before Christmas. The cottage was convenient, cozy, and well stocked. Would definitely stay again!
