Located at 6000 foot level, our mountain home is located high in the Valley in Pine Mountain Club - a close destination with a far-away feel. And because there are no stop lights or street lights, no smog or traffic, you'll feel miles away from city life here. Pine Mountain Club has a true four-season mountain climate and is a perfect year-round destination for a getaway! (Check link for more photos of our home; additional photos are always available upon request!)
Located on a beautiful & very QUIET street (off the beaten path of main streets like Woodland Dr), yet just 3 minutes from the Village / clubhouse, our home is two-story, has an lovely open floor plan with knotty pine high-vaulted ceilings in the great room, sleeps UP TO four (4) w/ two bedrooms (2 new queen beds), two baths (one w/ a large walk-in shower), and is designed for one or two couples, but will also accommodate a small family. (Sorry, we cannot accommodate more than four (4) occupants at any time.) With a great southern exposure, our home is considered "semi-solar". Modern (built 12/2002), our home is beautifully decorated with mountain comforts (no "hand-me-down" furniture here!), upscale amenities (we have an incredible 550+ movie collection & Wi-Fi, we offer popcorn, hot chocolate & herbal teas, plus much, much more), our home is exceptionally clean & comfortable (1150 square ft) with wonderful, unobstructed mountain views. Our deck, which faces south, is great for stargazing; the sunsets / night-sky are spectacular from our deck and will put on quite a show! We back to the Los Padres National Forest - wildlife (deer, raccoon, bobcat, fox, bunnies, squirrels, quail, dove, stellar & scrub jays) abounds. And when there's SNOW, the hillside behind our home is perfect for sledding! Mt. Pino's (8300'-8800') is just 15-20 minutes away, and as the locals know, is a GREAT cross-country skiing and snow-play destination!
We have a BOSE Stereo System (which offers EXCEPTIONAL sound) - so, bring your CD's! We also have cable TV in the great room & each bedroom. There's a nice glass-top patio table w/four chairs on the deck, along with a relaxing hammock, two large market umbrella's & binoculars for your use and enjoyment. There's also a Weber grill & grill utensils; please bring charcoal & lighter fluid.

Our roads are well-maintained, but area CHP require that you carry chains or have a 4x4 vehicle when snow is possible.

Map & Owner's Profile
Beautiful Mountain Getaway! Upscale,Wi-Fi & Great Views! 6000'
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Pine Mountain Club
We truly love the Mountains! After considering Mammoth Lakes, Big Bear, along with other mountain areas, we found our home in Pine Mountain Club. It's so close -- we absolutely love it! Built in December 2002, our home faces south and is considered "semi-solar" - a hidden jewel with its' unobstructed mountain views -- the sunsets from our deck are truly amazing; the night sky will put on quite a show! We offer upscale amenities, including Wi-Fi, phones and cable/TV in each room, along with lots of extras! Leave your cares at the door and enjoy the upscale comforts our mountain home provides.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Our home is located on a VERY quiet street, and we love its location on the Mountain. The quaint Village offers dining and shopping, and has a "long-ago" feel. Safe, friendly and peaceful! The golf course is beautiful, and the community pool - refreshing! And, as avid hikers and mountain bikers, we enjoy the many local trails. Back at our mountain home, we enjoy hand-feeding the jays (peanuts provided!); the night sky is always welcoming, giving us time to relax, breathe, and reflect. And our very favorite ... watching the sunsets. They truly are amazing!! You won't believe a place like this exists so close!
A great hike; can be a bit difficult with snow, but well worth the climb over rocks if the waterfall is flowing!
Separate your trash and take it here before you head for home.
Several restaurants, a pub, gift / clothing shops, general / grocery store, and laundromat.
Nice Bistro and Lounge, as well as a 9-hole PGA rated golf course, tennis courts, basketball, etc. Lovely mountain views and hiking trails close by.
A perfect, relatively easy hike regardless of the season. Always beautiful!
Great place for the kids ... bring bread to feed the ducks. Nice stroll around the lake, as well.

(From our cabin guestbook) Thank you for opening your lovely home. We enjoyed a much needed getaway and a wonderful Christmas here. Had a lovely hike to the waterfalls at the top of Woodland, and we enjoyed feeding the peanuts (you graciousy supplied) to the blue jays. We enjoyed them, as well. Happy New Year!

I want to thank you for sharing your beautiful mountain house. My family felt so at home with all the movies for the kids, all the kitchen extras and the spectacular views. It snowed all day Sunday!! We were very comfy, cozy and slept well. We needed this rest and relaxation. I hope we can return to your mountain home soon. Thanks again!

My husband and I were looking for a place to reconnect and recharge and we considered several cabins and homes in the area before finally deciding on this one. This cabin is immaculately clean and organized. The owners very thoughtfully provided every dish, cooking utensil and tool; there were condiments such as catsup, mustard, mayo, salt and pepper, teas, foil and plastic wrap, coffee filters... and for a few more dollars, they made the beds up with linens, supplied bath, hand and face towels in the master bath, and even put some flavored coffee creamers in the fridge, and peanuts in the freezer so that we could feed the Bluejays. They had a virtual library of movies to watch. The furniture in the main living area was fairly new and very comfortable. The black rug you see on the floor is genuine lamb skin. The pictures really don't fully capture the atmosphere, which was peaceful and immediately welcoming and warm. We were there on a weekend and you could hear a pin drop - there was a private party going on right next door on Saturday, but the neighbors were very courteous about the noise. There is a golf course less than five minutes away (a little 3 par, a little challenging, very pretty and pleasant). My husband is addicted to golf, I enjoy it but can't hit balls for hours like he can. What's nice is the covered patio at the course with tables just steps away from the putting green and driving range. We enjoyed each other's company even while he was hitting balls and I was enjoying a glass of wine a few feet away. The staff and the club is extremely accomodating and friendly. The food is mostly good and fairly reasonable in price. Our only complaint is that the beds in the cabin, while new, are EXTREMELY (we think overly) firm. After two days in that bed, we were both so sore we could not lay in the bed any longer. Our last day there, we chose not to sleep in, and left early so that we could go home and get into our own comfy bed. It's so important to have a comfortable bed to sleep in when you are on vacation. If you like a bed with a little "give" in it, be advised. Sleeping on your side may result in sore shoulders, neck and upper back, which was the case with both of us... Nonetheless, we had a great time! If the owners ever get more comfortable matresses, we will be back!

(From our cabin guestbook) June something, 2011.... Day 2 and I already forgot what today's date is and really don't care -- so relaxed -- great warm and loving vibes in your beautiful home! Love the magazine selection and the movies -- birds are a little aggressive with the peanuts -- too funny. Thank you :)
