♥ 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.

or take to go.)

The Mountain Cottage’s location is key, just 1/4 mile off Hwy 18 and into the woods with ease. And is on a dead-end street.

With easy proximity to the main highway, you can get up and down the hill quickly or head on up to Snow Valley for a day of skiing and snowboarding.

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.

If your idea of getting away is in a heavily forested mountain-top setting, you have already visualized our quiet and tree-engulfed Mountain Cottage in Skyforest, CA. We provide oatmeal, snacks upon arrival, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.

Be sure to see the short video on YouTube - search for Mountain Cottage Winter & Summer.

The amazing natural beauty and rich wildlife make this one of the most awesome locations in the San Bernardino Mountains -- and a favorite place for people who prefer the outdoors with a little more seclusion, comfort, and all the modern conveniences, plus the thick old-growth forests and stars galore.

You have a nature-surrounded, private patio area nestled among the many trees …with outdoor furniture. Relax outdoors with a cup of coffee in the morning, and read a book as you enjoy the tranquil, natural surroundings. A propane Bar-B-Q on the patio provides great cookout opportunities.

Comfortable accommodation in a delightful setting
This is well equipped open plan homely accommodation in a lovely woodland setting. We were on an extended road trip and it was ideal as a quiet cosy spot for a rest from travelling and a recharge before continuing our tour. Our late November stay coincided with milder than normal weather so we were able to enjoy a leisurely stroll around Lake Arrowhead. Many thanks to our hosts for making it such a pleasant and easy visit.

Enjoyed Our Stay!
My boyfriend, 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier and I stayed for the weekend! Our big adventure was skiing/snowboarding at Snow Valley which was less than 30 min away including traffic which was a perfect distance for us. Cottage is cozy and has every convenience you need for a fun getaway!

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!

If you want to get away from the daily grind, but are tired of long road trips, it’s the perfect place for Southern Californians to escape the heat as well as the hustle and bustle of the valleys below.

So you can head up even if you have just a day or two to make the most of everything the area has to offer:
