Unique 1926 Mountain Cottage Perched Above Lake Arrowhead

Recharge and reconnect at our cozy mountain gem. Situated above Lake Arrowhead in the tiny hamlet of Cedar Glen, this quaint 1926 cottage is full of handcrafted details and creative touches. It is ideally central to all the mountain has to offer—within minutes of Lake Arrowhead Village, Skypark and just a short drive to Crestline, Snow Valley, and Big Bear. Enjoy a slice of authentic mountain life as you relax and explore the magnificent San Bernardino Mountains.

The cottage is two levels, with the majority of the living space on the first floor. After entering through the mudroom, the main level’s open layout stretches from the well-equipped kitchen, past the stone fireplace and main living area (outfitted with classic Stickley furniture, a Linn sound system and new 65” Roku TV) all the way to the large dining room table surrounded by windows with peekaboo views of the lake. This is a space to gather, cook, play games, watch films, listen to LPs, dine together, or simply stare at the roaring fire.

An artisan-crafted spiral staircase leads to the lower level which hosts the generous main bedroom with an exceptionally cozy queen bed, built-in desk, window nook, a mini projector, and access to the lower patio.

The upstairs "Treehouse Bedroom" is the most private in the cottage. Linen sheets, premium plush queen bed and vintage writing desk create a peaceful space to take in the alpine air.

The "Calluna Bedroom" is centered on the main level and has a four-poster double bed with Dreamcloud mattress, antique secretary desk and rich velvet blackout curtains.

The bathroom features a uniquely proportioned hand-built tile tub and shower, perfect for a nice soak after a long day of hiking or skiing.

Games, books, and musical instruments are scattered around the house for you to enjoy. Extra pillows, blankets and towels for everyone, and all basic bath and kitchen products are provided. Central heating works great and there is very fast wifi service throughout the house. A Weber propane grill is available for use in the front yard and propane chiminea is in the backyard for cozy nights under the stars.

All areas of the cottage are open to you, as well as the yard on the left and the upper and lower patios.

Cedar Glen is an area of Lake Arrowhead with many full-time residents and a small business district with shops, a little grocery store, restaurants, a gym and spa. The beloved Cedar Glen Malt Shop is just a short walk down the hill. Our neighbors are very friendly and you will truly feel part of the mountain community during your stay.

The roads in our little neighborhood are a bit narrow and on the steeper side, but very doable for any type of vehicle during good weather. If there is an active snowstorm, as with all mountain properties, it is important to check if chains are required before heading up (and 4-wheel drive is ideal). Easy parking is directly in front of the cottage, and along the gravel at the top of the yard.

Keep in mind that Lake Arrowhead is a private lake for use only by residents of the immediate surrounding properties. There are, however, ways to enjoy it! Take a boat ride on the Lake Arrowhead Queen, sign up for a water skiing lesson, or meander along the waterfront at Lake Arrowhead Village. There are a number of other lakes in the area as well—experience the waterslide at Lake Gregory, kayak on the pristine (and well-stocked) Green Valley Lake, or spend the afternoon in Big Bear on a Pontoon.
