Whimsical Forest Retreat; Cozy, Pet-Friendly Cabin Near Private Lake

Welcome to Snow Bunny Cottage – Your Mountain Home Away from Home

Snow Bunny Cottage is more than a cabin—it’s an experience. Nestled at 7,000 feet in the peaceful mountain town of Green Valley Lake, our cozy, pet-friendly retreat is perfect for couples, small families, and outdoor adventurers. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by tall pines, this charming cottage invites you to breathe deeply, unwind completely, and reconnect with what matters.

Whether you're watching snow fall through the windows or listening to the breeze whisper through the trees in summer, Snow Bunny Cottage offers the kind of tranquility you can feel.

Inside the Cabin

This thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin offers warm mountain charm with all the modern comforts:

The main bedroom includes a queen-size bed with cozy linens and calming forest views

The second bedroom has a twin bunk bed, best suited for children, and is accessed through the main bedroom

The living room features two comfortable rocking chairs and a love seat that converts to a bed for two adults

The full bathroom includes a walk-in shower and complimentary toiletries

A fully equipped kitchen includes a cooktop, oven, microwave, toaster, and Ninja blender, along with cookware and dishware. A four-person glass-top dining table sits conveniently near the complimentary coffee and tea bar.

For your comfort and entertainment, the cabin offers a mini split unit for heating and cooling, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a 55-inch Smart TV with access to Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, and more.

Step Outside

Unwind on the large deck wrapped in string lights—perfect for grilling, stargazing, bird watching, or sipping coffee in the fresh morning air. The driveway offers parking for up to two vehicles and is paved but slightly sloped (4WD or snow chains are recommended in winter).

Pet Friendly and Personalized

We welcome small dogs under 20 pounds with prior approval and a pet stay fee. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, please let us know in advance—we're happy to go the extra mile when we can to make your stay memorable.

Cell service is limited in the area, but the Wi-Fi in the cabin is reliable for calls, streaming, and remote work.

What Guests Will Love About the Area

Green Valley Lake offers the best of all four seasons. Guests can walk just a few minutes to the private alpine lake for seasonal fishing, kayaking, or picnicking. The nearby San Bernardino National Forest provides endless hiking, biking, and off-road trails, including Green Valley Lake Trail Loop and Crafts Peak.

Snow Valley Mountain Resort is just minutes away and features skiing, snowboarding, tubing, lessons, and terrain parks for all skill levels. The nearby Squirrel Drive hill is perfect for sledding and snowshoeing in winter.

Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead are both about 15 to 20 minutes away by car and offer a wide variety of dining, shopping, and outdoor activities—from lakefront dining and ziplining to boating, fishing, and seasonal festivals.

Adventure seekers can explore numerous off-road trails such as Cement Creek, Bear Valley Road, and Walker Ridge—ideal for Jeeps and high-clearance vehicles.

Green Valley Lake also offers a small downtown area with a general store, restaurant, and wine and craft beer shop. For additional dining and amenities, the town of Arrowbear is nearby and includes a gas station and more options.

My Story:

I’m Daniel, a longtime California resident and nature enthusiast who fell in love with Green Valley Lake for its peace, charm, and beauty in every season. I’ve worked in public service for over 25 years and take pride in creating comfortable, inviting spaces that allow guests to recharge, reconnect, and make lasting memories.

Hosting this cabin is personal—Snow Bunny Cottage is also my own family’s retreat during the off-season. I care deeply about your experience and want you to feel welcomed and well taken care of. Whether you're celebrating a special moment or just escaping the city, I’m here to help make your stay exceptional.

How I host:

I’m a private host who treats Snow Bunny Cottage not just as a rental, but as a meaningful extension of my own home. I love creating a space where guests can slow down, breathe in the mountain air, and feel truly cared for. While I won’t be there in person, I’m just a message or call away—and always happy to help with anything you need, from local tips to special requests. I take pride in the little touches, and I genuinely want your stay to feel personal, peaceful, and memorable.
