The downstairs queen bed acts as the 3rd bedroom with views of the fireplace and pond next to bathroom Luxuriously decorated upstairs bedrooms offer heavenly down bedding and Tempur-Pedic beds.

The copper kitchen will transport to a more simple quite time. New appliances including gas stove and refrigerator. Kitchen well supplied with everything you need to enjoy great food and beverages.

As wonderful as the interior is the outside may be the best part. Entry gate will delight you as you enter the garden. Wisteria, honey suckle and Cecil Brunner roses climb the the entire fenced yard. Throughout the garden camillas, roses, peones, hydragaes and ferns bloom in many colors each season.

All will enjoy the comfy garden seating in the front and dining table/ lovely patio furniture in the rear. Gas grill for those who enjoy cooking outside.

Romance is in the air

The cottage is a perfect place to get back to romance and enjoy each others company. Great location for chilling out and getting back to nature. Also a fun bar/eatery up the road and only 15-20 minutes from Claremont or Upland. We have stayed here numerous times and each time is better than the last. Debbie is an amazing host.

Amazing experience

The house is so comfortable & beautiful. Hearing The water rushing as you wake up in the morning is a bonus. The special towels for taking off makeup, so so smart ( I have ruined many a hotel towel) we had a great time and this stay really set off the Christmas season for me (the fireplace alone!)

The elegant and cozy cottage in the woods...

The property is historic and well preserved. We felt like we could have been in Scandinavia or Switzerland. The craftmanship, comfort of the beds, meticulous attention to detail in every room, gave us a cozy stay, as if in our own mountain retreat. Debbie is fabulous...everything sparkled and was so clean and well managed. The gardens are lovely, and the courtyard behind the house is soothing to the soul with the sounds of running water from the stream nearby. Truly a restful and elegant retreat. We hope to return and enjoy this lovely cottage for all its amenities and history. A rare jewel, indeed!

Wedding getaway to Mt Baldy

After a bit of a trek for us to get to the home (unforeseen circumstances) the host was still so lovely and welcoming. The home was ideal for our needs. We needed to stay at My Baldy for a wedding at the lodge but the rooms at the lodge were too small for our party of six. The cabin was ideal. The space is clean and relaxing. Listening to the river while having coffee on the morning was my favorite. The only thing I hadn’t realized is the 3rd bedroom is attached to the living room so would be good for kids or people who don’t mind staying up late or getting up early with people in the living room or kitchen area. Still ideal amenities and a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the lodge. Would absolutely stay again!

One of a kind home in bucolic setting

We were in Mt. Baldy for a wedding. We were lucky enough to find the cottage for our four-night stay. Everything about the cottage is designed for a memorable stay. In terms of the mundane, the beds were comfortable; seating in the living room was perfect. We were there in June, so didn't require using the fireplace. Modern kitchen, air conditioned. The AC had a hard time reaching the second floor (probably our only minor complaint; since we were 4000 feet up. we opened the windows at night for a great breeze). We sat in the gorgeous garden for breakfast each morning and, truly, did not want to leave. I'm not sure I'll ever find myself in Mt. Baldy again, but if so, I'd absolutely want to stat in the Cottage on Bear Creek.

Weekend at a cozy cottage

Our stay was very nice. Overall we really enjoyed the cottage, but I wish we had known that we wouldn’t have cell service(TMobile) because we weren’t able to make phone calls while we were there. I also wish we would have been warned that coffee and ice would not be provided and that we would need to bring our own. I hope you are an early riser because both bedrooms have large skylights. Even with these minor issues, we really enjoyed our stay and had a great weekend!

Beautiful house

Beautifully updated. Has a few quirks due to its being 100 years old, but they were no problem for us. The gardens are incredible. It does say in the listing and reviews(but is not obvious from the pics) that the downstairs bed is in an alcove off the main living room - meaning it is an L shaped room and the bed is essentially part of that living space. We missed or forgot about that, and my 87 year old MIL who needed to be on the main floor was not pleased. It didn't end up to be a problem, but it would be nice to have one of those tall folding screens to at least provide a visual barrier.

Magical Mountain Cottage

WOW is all I can say! The Cottage was truly a dream. Pictures don't do it justice at all. The house was so cozy and beautifully designed/decorated. Well stocked, clean, wonderful linens, full of personality and history. The property was spectacular...nestled in the trees, next to a creek (that you can hear from all rooms in the house). We spent most of our time bouncing back and forth between the front patio and the back patio - eating, playing games. reading, chatting, relaxing. The location is fabulous. Walkable neighborhood and walkable creek access. A short drive to incredible hiking and the Mt Baldy chairlift (highly recommend!). No stores in Mt Baldy, so come with what you need. I think the Lodge restaurant is doing takeout, but we didn't stop in. Communication with the owner was fabulous - personal, helpful, quick, accommodating. She's wonderful and her love for her cabin shows! We hope and plan to be back to experience the cottage and the area in another season. (One bit of advice...if forecast is for hot weather you may want to bring your own fans...we hit a heatwave and it was warm for sleeping. Upstairs bedrooms do have ceiling fans.) HIGHLY recommend this sweet cottage!
