This cabin is exactly what you think of when you close your eyes to imagine a mountain getaway. It's 20's charm is mixed with everything you need today to be comfortable and cozy. It's truly magical.
Great place, felt like Teddy Roosevelt would have stayed there back in the day. Great location, amenities, etc. Was a joy to hang at the cabin all day.
Great little cabin with plenty of space and perfect location to explore the surrounding areas. Cabin was just as described and the hot tub was perfect. Kitchen was perfect for family dinners and breakfast. The location was an easy and beautiful drive to big bear with lots of cute shops and places to eat.
A nice step back in time when you enter the cabin. Loved the kitchen and red appliances. Owner is very cooperative and communicative. Spa tub was Awesome!
We had lots and lots of fun.The place is amazing, the house is old and gives you a glimpse of how our grandparents lived in the past, with today's technology.Steve was above and beyond, he let us check in from the early morning and gave us all the time we needed after checking out.When I go to lake Arrowhead again I know where to stay, @ Steve's.
Absolutely fantastic stay at this cabin! From the moment we arrived. The cabin itself is beautiful & cozy, the location was ideal—close enough to town for convenience, but far enough to offer complete tranquility. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area, our host Steve is the best. He provided great recommendations for local activities and restaurants. Overall, this cabin was the perfect getaway, and we cannot wait to return. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to relax and recharge in a beautiful, peaceful setting!
We lucked out that Steve's cabin was available for our quick weekend trip. Our party of 2 families (with 4 young kids in tow) enjoyed the space, the decor and location! Adults enjoyed some time in the hot tub. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay! Thanks so much Steve!
The cabin was very comfortable and plenty of space. Owner was super kind and great at communicating with me! Had a very nice, relaxing weekend! Thank you so much!
The perfect mountain getaway exceeded all of my expectations. The cabin was cozy and well-stocked with everything you may need. The peaceful atmosphere allowed us to relax and unwind, and the nearby hiking trails gave us the perfect opportunity to explore the natural beauty of Lake Arrowhead. Steve was awesome and went up and above to make our stay the best possible. I highly recommend this mountain retreat to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating escape. Very pup friendly as well!!
We enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfy, kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. The hot tub was nice to relax in. The owner was communicative and quick to reply when anything came up. My kids loved the game/toy closet. That is always a nice bonus in a vacation rental. Also, I loved that coffee maker, made a great cup of coffee!
House was great and Steve was extremely helpful. Weather didn't end up being great, but kids had fun with the games that were available and we were able to do some walks when the weather did clear.
Enjoyed a relaxing few days at this beautiful cabin. Easy access, private parking within premises. Quiet, residential and serene neighborhood. Amenities were spot on with everything being stocked. Comfortable beds and plenty of blankets to keep us warm. The kids loved the TV lounge with access to all their kids programs.
Thanks for the swift communication when we had some network issues. Resolved quick and easy.
Highly recommended!
We planned a last-minute visit to Lake Arrowhead to celebrate the end of the school year. Steve was easy to communicate with and fast to respond. Due to painting on the back deck, we could only access the spa for one day, but Steve made accommodations to make up for the lack of access. The cabin has been thoughtfully decorated in a retro style that perfectly captures the mountain vibes. I highly recommend this cabin for some quiet relaxation in a beautiful setting.
Beautifully appointed house with a full kitchen including dishes and forks/spoons for toddlers. Even toys for them. Hot tub was delicious! Towels are abundant. Everything worked perfectly. Heat was very warm. Fireplace toastie. Blankets everywhere and all clean and cozy. Beds were comfy. A great family trip with grandma (me) and my kids. Loved the Montana feel and the cowboy vibe.
This beautiful cabin is all it claims to be. Perfect location for summer or winter. I would love to see it in the snow. Large wooded lot highlights this wonderful lodge. The factthatIcouldbringmy dogsmadeit forme. In fact, the entireareais completelydog friendly. You can bringthemalmostanywhere. The host was the best. The place was Stocked! Anythingyou can thinkof. Spa on the deckwas my favorite😍. !!! .
Let just say from the minute we booked Steve the owner was amazing!! So friendly and accommodating and stayed in touch the entire time we were there. We love his cabin! Plenty of space for my kids, husband, my dogs and myself. We enjoyed the jucuzzi a few times during our stay. So relaxing! The whole set up of the cabin is
just so much fun and you can tell Steve pays attention to details. We had robes for our leisure which was amazing after the jucuzzi. Games for the kids, tvs everywhere, massage chair so nice! I could go on and on. My point is book it! You won’t be disappointed ☺️thank you Steve for everything
We had a wonderful time. The cabin is exactly as pictured and described. It was very hot so the air conditioning and ceiling fans were a big bonus. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet, with easy access to the trail around the lake, grocery store 5 minute walk away, and cute shops. Our plan was to,walk down the street to watch the 4th of July fireworks over the lake but we were having such a nice time eating on the patio table that time flew by and fireworks started. To our surprise we could see them from the back yard. Everything was perfect. We should have stayed longer. It went too fast. Thank you Steve! You were a great host.
We were a family of four including two teenagers and also had our lovely dog with us. I would say the house was perfect for us. We could have two more people with us but my parents couldn’t make it.
This house was much better than it looked in the pictures. It was a great place to get away from daily routines and get completely refreshed!
It was like you get to experience Steve’s life. The house was full of amazing motivational books which you would enjoy reading while sitting beside a very beautiful burning fire!
All rooms had separate TVs and there was one separate TV with Netflix on it. There was also albums of pictures which made you curious to see who Steve really was.
The jacuzzi with hot water under raining weather was another great experience.
There was a work room which was perfect as my husband had to work for a few hours and that was the best place for him.
The house was located in an amazing location which you could walk and enjoy the scenery for a long time.
Steve was super helpful from the beginning. He had prepared detailed instructions about everything and had even a file containing his favorites.
The kitchen was fully equipped with all we needed.
Access to different places we needed was very easy as well.
As a whole we had a great time in his lovely cabin which he had put so much thought planning it.
Thank you Steve for such a great opportunity.
We lived your house!

VERY Rustic Cabin - Very OLD & Creaky
No Smoke detector battery. Spider in sink.Shower arms too low.
Two showers( 2.5x2.5 and 3x2.5).Toilet directly in front of sink to where knees are under the sink.No firewood to speak of. Directions say to bring your own but later says do not bring your own. Wi-Fi incorrect had to call.
Lock box difficult to find based on info.Everything covered in leaves in back.All floors creak esp upstairs.No insulation inside. Walls are just one plank thick as well as doors. Price based on condition should have been less than half we paid. A Used bath towel hanging behind master door upon arrival. No TV in living room/bar area with fireplace. Very dark in rooms, not well lit like pics.No lake nearby to Jump into. Quite a walk and the access is limited to cards not aware of and usually only docks with boats.Hot water handle in shower just spun and would not turn on. Used a pocket knife to tighten temporarily.Floors so creaky it’s obnoxious and embarrassing.First floor okay. Second floor is the main issue. Sharing a closet toilet with 3 bedrooms does not work. One small toilet downstairs with access down a steep flight of stairs that are creaky as well. The hot tub is not private but open to full view of neighbors. It was so rustic the price paid should have been much lower to match the accommodations. Very disappointing to my family. The only host contact when I called him to verify the wi-fi. No Nespresso found. Coffeemaker made a huge mess.Microwave dirty. All trash cans full outside.
