♥ 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.

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.

Great Place to Stay in Sky Village
I had a wonderful time visiting Lake Arrowhead. The cabin has one room but has all the facilities a single person or a couple may need. It has a very quant deck with some privacy. The cabin was clean and well decorated. The owner communicated promptly and was wonderful to work with! If I come back to Lake Arrowhead this would be on my list of places to stay!!!

Cozy and comfy
My husband and I stayed here for a weekend to attend a wedding in Skyforest. The mountain cottage was cozy and cute! There were plenty of amenities such as shampoo and body wash, lotion, iron, hair dryer, wifi, coffee and TV. Donna and Ken were the best hosts leaving helpful notes around the cottage and even provided apple cider for us upon check-in. The bed was comfy and there were many blankets in case you get cold. Hopefully we can stay here again in the future!

Wonderful property. Perfect for 1 or 2 people. So very clean and cozy. Everything you could possibly need is provided. The patio is amazing and tranquil. Thats where I spent most of my time. Best sleep I've had in months with the comfortable bed and windows letting in a cool breeze. Booking and stay info was very simple and easy. Close to trails, lakes, mountain beauty. Go - you won't be sorry.
