The property sits on almost 1/3 flat acre parcel with some of the best mountain views on the ridge. This area has local wildlife and has an excellent location with easy access year round, less than 1 mile from the state highway and about 2 miles to the center of town. Drive time is only 75 minutes from Irvine and 85 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles.
THINGS TO DO on the mountain are both recreation and vacation oriented. Shopping and restaurants are close by, Antique stores are great, horseback riding stables are within 2 miles, Lake Gregory is 2 miles (water slides, swimming, kayaking and fishing). National Forest has hiking trails less than .5 miles from the house.
Lake Arrowhead is 10 minutes away with ice skating, movie theaters, great shopping and art galleries. We have a large binder full of activities and amenities on the mountain for you to explore. Games include: bumper pool table, air hockey, and more...
SNOW SEASON runs from about Thanksgiving until March depending on the year.. the house is at 5500' elevation and typically gets about 5 feet of snow per season. The lot has an excellent slope for sledding with little kids and older kids may walk up the road to a great sledding location at the hangglider launch point. Snow Valley is the closest ski resort accessed by major mountain roads and is 17 miles distance.
Very good cross country skiing is found on old service roads at the end of the street about 1 mile from the house - there are few sets of cross country skis boots, poles etc available at the house to use. We also have some sleds and disks at the house for the kids. These are only available upon request.
SUMMER is terrific in the Crestline area. Lake Gregory is 2 miles from the house and has waterslides, a public beach, paddle boards, fishing and kayaking. The average summer daytime temperature is between 80 - 90 degrees from June through September with clear skies and gentle breezes. 4x4 roads for ATV's and backwoods exploring are abundant.
There is great hiking trails, the swimming hole at Heart Rock and Deep Creek hot springs for more ambitious hikers is near by. Summer is great fun on the mountain and the area has over 300 days of sunshine!

About the owner: Welcome! This mountain is one of my favorite places in California. There is great hiking trails (the ridge route, Heart Rock and Deep Creek hotsprings are some of the ones i hike regularly. The town of Crestline has some great cafes, fun bowling alley and the lake is great in summer for swimming and waterslides with the kids. I recommend planning a trip and exploring the National forest and charming Antique shops on Lake Drive.
Why the Owner Chose Crestline:
The Playground House is close to the charming historic California mountain town of Crestline. Shirley Temple’s had a vacation home up the street. Oliver Stone filmed his first movie in the old part of town. Many more movies including “The Parent Trap”, both old and new, were filmed in the area. An excellent location for Southern California with views to Catalina Island in the springtime and easy road access year round.
