This new Home was featured as Log Home of the month in Log Home Livings Magazine's March 2008 issue! Check out the link below for the article and more pictures.
The "Log getaway" is a 1200 square foot log cabin made with 18" average diameter hand crafted logs, soaring cathedral ceilings, a huge master loft with log bed, stainless steel appliances, copper sinks, stone shower, and wide plank wood floors. We look at our cabin as an artist's retreat and as the owners we use it to create and display our art (we are a photographer and potter/painter from Santa Barbara).
We are just one hour north of the San Fernando Valley, one hour south of Bakersfield, and 15 miles west of Frazier Park. Pine Mountain Club is truly an undiscovered paradise that is so close to the big city!
Our cabin is perfect for one or two couples or a small family so we cannot accommodate more than four (4) occupants at any one time. Heat for the cabin is provided by a cozy gas fireplace/stove.
There is beautiful hiking to a magical waterfall just a short walk up the road and you can enjoy the snow in the winter as we are at 6500'feet elevation (which keeps it cool in the summer as well)! A 9-hole PGA executive golf course and a quaint village center with shopping and restaurants are just 5 minutes away.
Due to this elevation the CHP requires that you carry chains when there is a chance for snow. Check the PMC link below for weather and road condition information and links for more information. Due to the high fire danger no smoking is allowed on the property.
The loft has a king bed and there is a very comfy queen pull out in the first floor bedroom/TV room. High speed wireless and a Mac computer with high speed internet is provided. A speaker system with sub-woofer is also supplied for hook up to your laptop or IPOD (a dock is supplied). There is also a collection of games, poker chips, a large DVD collection and Satellite TV.
We have put our heart and soul into this place and now we hope others can enjoy it too!
See what our guests have to say (taken directly from our guest book):
"This place provided a well needed getaway for us. It felt like we were worlds away from the city and we were happy to see that our cell phones don’t work here. We enjoyed our slippery hike to the falls up the street and all the other trails in the area. Thank you so much for providing us such a beautiful place to stay and for allowing our puppy dog to enjoy it with us."
Rob, Cat & Bella, Marin County, CA
"Sunday morning in the cabin. This is the perfect mountain getaway with all the comforts necessary for my husband and our youngest daughter and their two adorable young girls. The rustic and artistic qualities of your cabin have inspired us to consider spending more weekends in the mountains as a family. The tranquility and scenic beauty, including patches of snow, encouraged us to slow down and listen to the magic of nature."
Sue, Los Angeles, CA
"Thank you for sharing your great place with us. Truly, these two days in this cabin were some of the best in all our lives. We’re taking nothing but great memories from this unforgettable log cabin. Your artworks are amazing and they made us feel at home.
Thank you again…"
Henry and Company, Los Angeles, CA
"This has been the most peaceful trip we have ever been on! We were hoping that we would get snowed in for a couple of weeks, but unfortunately there was not a cloud in the sky. The two days we were here were equal to months of normal relaxation. We really appreciate your talents and attention to detail in this place. It’s very inspiring! From the amazing design of the cabin to the set of binoculars sitting by the window, it seems like a huge amount of thought and love was put into everything here. We also loved your photography, art and pottery. Thank you for sharing all of these things with us and creating an unforgettable experience which we will always remember dearly. Hopefully we will be back and we will bring our cat next time!"
Your friends Jared and Tamra, Simi Valley, CA
We never imagined coming up here that we’d ever get to stay at a place like this….. It has to be the most beautiful house we’ve ever been in. we have 2 kids 4&7, and we brought them here to have a great vacation and your place just made it that much more special.
Now that we know your place is here we will be back a lot more……Also you should know it's such a great price and we just can’t wait to come back!
Thank you so much Alito and Luke, Pasedena, CA

If John Denver ever visited PMC he would of had a new #1 hit!!! Anyway... This place is my wife and I's favorite new vacation spot. We have been to this cabin twice now.. Once in July, January, and now have another few nights booked in Oct. Cant wait to see the fall up there!!! Being only an hour or so from L.A. makes it so convenient. They have a nice village center with a great General store.. I recommend using one of the member passes that are available at the door of the cabin and going over to the "Bistro on the greens" (golf course) for lunch and having one of there Pastrami sandwiches... mmmmm TOO GOOD !!!!

This weekend was the perfect time to just enjoy life, nature, peace and quiet... The small town community was fun to visit, and the people were friendly. The cabin itself was all we could have hoped for, and quickly became like a second home. This was a great way to just relax and indulge in the simple things. The beauty and conveniences were an awesome combination. As one local merchant shared, there is a blissful sigh as one passes over the threshold of our normal stresses and agendas and enters another way of life. Thank you, Gina and Russell for making this possible
Owner response:Thanks for sharing! I wondered if others felt the threshold We can feel it just driving up here knowing we will be in the peaceful beauty of pmc and the cabin. I'm here right now, packing to go home and feel like my battery pack is fully charged. Gina G (owner)

Excellent weekend get away

My husband and I got away for the weekend here and it was wonderful. A cozy cabin with beautiful, artistic touches that made it very warm and welcoming. I love using the handmade dishes and seeing photos and artwork by the owners. The way the cabin is built is really nice and keeps it very private though it is in a mountain community. It was easy to get to from Ventura. I think we found our new weekend get away spot!
Owner response:I so glad the pottery is appreciated. I had the opportunity to be a full time potter for 6 years and I have put my favorite pieces in the cabin. Thanks for the compliments. Gina G. :)

Best Memorial Day Weekend Ever!

It was the best Memorial Day weekend we’ve ever had. The peaceful energy of this cabin was just what we needed. So soothing. The weather was perfect. On Saturday, it was 72 degrees and we enjoyed walking most of the waterfall trail with our dogs. And then the next morning, we were surprised and ecstatic to wake up to snow! We couldn’t believe our luck! A magical experience. I wouldn’t change a thing.
Owner response:Thank you for these beautiful words! It gave me the chills to read it. I open up my cabin to guests like you for the pure pleasure of hearing your stories. Thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience where i was at the cabin before winter. I was sunbathing out front and there was snow on the ground. :)! Pine Mountain has the most amazing weather! Thankful to be able to share it with you, Gina G (owner)

PEACEFUL PARADISE IN THE PINES

HELLO GINA AND RUSS ~ WE JUST GOT BACK FROM YOUR CABIN YESTERDAY AND WANT TO RETURN TODAY! OUR FAVORITE THING TO DO THERE WAS TO JUST "LISTEN TO THE QUIET", SOMETHING WE NEVER GET TO DO IN OUR BUSY LIVES. THE LISTING DESCRIPTION IS ACCURATE AND THE PHOTOS ARE GOOD BUT IN PERSON IS EVEN BETTER. THE CABIN IS CLEAN AND WELL MAINTAINED. AND YOU ARE VERY HELPFUL OWNERS. THANK YOU FOR NEVER TIRING OF MY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE EVEN LEFT HOME! I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL TO A PLACE WITH MANY PERSONAL TOUCHES AND JUST BREATHE FRESH AIR IN THE PINES. THE ONLY DRAWBACK ABOUT OUR TRIP WAS THE TOWN. IT WAS TOO SMALL AND EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED!? BUT IT WASN'T A DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE WE GOT TO GO RIGHT BACK TO THE CABIN! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HAVEN WITH US, DEBBIE, ELAINE AND HAPPY =)
Owner response:What I love about this review is the word quiet! Yes it is. It was my pleasure to answer all you questions that is what we are all about. Coustomer service. Thanks for appreciating it! Gina G

Peacefull Weekend Away

We just spent a weekend at the cabin and it was wonderful! A very short drive to a place where you feel so far away. The cabin itself is gorgeous! The kitchen is a joy to cook in. We could have gone out, but we stayed in and cooked every meal. It was such a peaceful relaxing weekend. We will definitely be back!
Owner response:Its great to hear my guest enjoy the kitchen as much as i do. I never go out to eat when i'm at the cabin. There is something magical about the kitchen and how it opens up to the large front windows inviting the pine trees in. It makes you want to spend your time there. Its a proud moment to realize the theme of my reviews is the cabin and not the town. This is because the town is adorable. Very happy to be able to share our special cabin with so many appreciative guests. Gina G

The cabin and surrounding area is so quiet and peaceful. It is a very short drive from Santa Barbara, but we felt so far from home. We went up for the weekend and left the cabin only once to see the town. The cabin has absolutely everything you would need to have a quiet, relaxing vacation. You won't want to leave this place, I can't wait for the next visit!!!

Beatiful Cabin! An Oasis!

I absolutely love your cabin! It was stunning to see it as we drove up the mountain. The logs are beautiful and enormous. We felt so welcomed! As soon as we entered the cabin, we felt comfortable and at peace. The pot-belly stove is a lovely touch and a perfect and easy way to act as heater for the cabin. My friend and I were able to cook delicious meals in the beautiful kitchen space and use all of your hand made ceramic dishes. When I wanted to practice my yoga I went upto the loft for a while and felt so at peace looking out the windows facing the pine forest. The best part was when we woke up in the morning and were suprised with a light dusting of snow. I looked up at the skylight and couldn't believe my eyes. The snow was sprinkled and window panes and we were able to go for a nice walk before it melted in the afternoon. Thank you for taking such care to make your cabin the perfect oasis. It was an amazing getaway and we will definitely be back! :)
Owner response:beautiful comments! i especially resonated with yoga in the loft and waking up to the snow falling. two of my favorite things about time at the cabin. thanks for taking time to post your comment for my future guest. we look forward to having you back. gina g (owner)

TRANQUIL KID- & PET-FRIENDLY MOUNTAIN RETREAT!
Guest: SoCal Mommy
(Simi Valley, CA)
Date of Stay: 02/18/11
Review Submitted: 02/22/11
Drawn to this cabin retreat by the gorgeous photos & colorful descriptions, we booked a 3-night stay for our family of four & our border collie... it did NOT disappoint!! With modern amenities such as Wi-fi, iPod dock with surround sound, board game collection, extensive DVD library (with stereo surround sound hooked up in the downstairs den/bedroom), beautiful kitchen stocked with amenities & cozy propane-run furnace, we had everything we needed for a peaceful stay with a few high-tech treats. Also, while booking the cabin, the owners were very responsive & helpful!! The photos shown do not lie - the cabin is just as lovely & beautiful in person. Also there are several homey touches - from the hand-crafted pottery to beautiful artwork adorning the walls, we felt more like we were staying in a luxury retreat than a mountain cabin. Because there was fresh snowfall, we spent most of our time taking short strolls in the neighborhood (too hard to hike the nearby trails with our young children) & sledding down the gentle slopes surrounding the cabin. We parked our car on Friday & didn't start it up again until we HAD to leave on Monday - it was a big luxury for our busy lives to stay put for so long & we soaked up every delicious moment! We look forward to a future stay at this cabin & plan to spread the word to family & friends!!
Owner response:One of my favorite things about our cabin is that I too park the car and don't use it till i go home. Someone just mentioned a pastrami sand. at the bistro in the greens. I may have to try that. :)
