♥ 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.

Yes - high-speed internet, wi-fi, cable - on-demand TV

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.

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!

Everything about this cabin was amazing, even Donna and Ken were fantastic to deal with. Everything about this stay was just like being home but better. This cabin made me not want to go back home because Donna and Ken go so far out to make you feel like you are home. I would love to own a cabin like this. This stay was a surprise birthday present to my girlfriend for the weekend and she loved it. We will be back again and again and I highly recommend anyone else to stay here. Everything and everywhere necessary was less than 10 minutes to get to no matter which direction I drove. This area was very peaceful and quiet no matter the time. The heater worked great for the chilly nights we were there, very comfortable bed and couch. A fantastic dvd and book collection, and fun games for stay in entertainment. Everything was very clean and organized and had all the amenities we needed. Once again, thank you Donna and Ken for this amazing experience.

We stay at Ken and Donnas cabin at least once a year, and enjoy the quiet woodsy area and quick access to hiking and Arrowhead village. It is a great escape for a couple looking to change their scenery for a few days.

Cute cottage with a great patio nestled into the trees. Great location. Nice kitchen, although I didn't use it much lol. Quiet, bubbly fountain ⛲ and a nice shower/bath. WiFi worked well, it was a busy weekend for me in the area, great to come back to the cabin and relax. A+++, thanks to the hosts for their nice place. 🤗

Very quiet neighborhood. Big comfy bed. Good shower--gets hot fast! We hiked the North Shore Recreation trail, Lake Gregory, Heap's Arboretum, and Heart Rock. Don't miss the antique shop at the corner of Kuffel Canyon and Sycamore--lots of treasures! We recommend the sweet and sour tofu at the Mandarin Garden in Blue Jay.

Great location and checks all the boxes.
Spent a two night weekend in this very nicely appointed studio cottage. Private and perfectly located just a 10 minute drive from Lake Arrowhead Village. We were looking forward to spending some of our time relaxing on the deck, but the weather did not cooperate. Unexpectedly cool for Labor Day, foggy and damp both days there. But what can you do about that. We enjoyed both nearby restaurants, could have walked the distance. But too cool and damp on this trip. Studio had excellent WiFi, a good TV with ample channels, a kitchenette with most items necessary to microwave or grill outside a meal, though we chose to eat out. This is a holiday after all. We do recommend this very clean studio and it’s very nice owners.
