"It's magical up here - truly magical!" "WOW! This place takes my breath away!" " Thank you so very much for the love & joy with which you filled this place, priceless intangibles that await every guest." "I do believe we have been spoiled for life now with our experience with your place!"
Located at 6000 foot level, our mountain home is located high in the Valley in Pine Mountain Club - a close destination with a faraway 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 quick getaway! (Check link for more photos of our home; additional photos are always available upon request!)
Located on a nice, QUIET street (off the beaten path of main streets, like Woodland Drive), 3 minutes from the Village and clubhouse, our home is two-story, has a nice, open floor plan with knotty pine ceiling in the great room, sleeps up to four (4) (2 new and very comfortable queen beds), and is ideal for one or two couples, or a small family. (Sorry, we cannot accommodate more than four (4) occupants at any time.) With a great southern exposure, our home is modern (built December 2002), beautifully decorated with mountain comforts (no "hand-me-down" furniture here!) and upscale amenities (we have an incredible 500+ movie collection and Wi-Fi, we offer popcorn, hot chocolate and herbal teas, plus so much more), our home is VERY clean and comfortable (1100 square ft) with wonderful, unobstructed mountain views. Our deck, which faces south, is great for stargazing - the sunsets and night-sky are spectacular from our deck and will put on quite a show! We back to the Los Padres National Forest - wildlife (deer, bobcat, fox, bunnies, squirrels, quail, dove, stellar and scrub jays) abounds. And the hillside behind our home is great for sledding when there's snow! 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!
NEW: BOSE Stereo System (which offers EXCEPTIONAL sound) - bring your CD's! We have cable TV in the great room and each bedroom. We have a nice glass-top patio table w/four chairs on the deck, along with a relaxing hammock, two large market umbrella's, and binoculars for your use and enjoyment. There's a great Weber grill and grill utensils; bring charcoal and lighter fluid.
NOTE: Due to our elevation (6000 ft) on the Mountain, snow (up to three to four feet) may be present during cooler months. While our roads are well-maintained, area CHP require that you carry chains (or have a 4x4 vehicle) when snow is possible. Please check the "Total Escape" link below, then the "Property Association" link for detailed PMC weather information. (This is a great site for PMC information, including historical weather information and area web cams! A great area resource, so do check it out if you plan to stay in Pine Mountain Club!)
If you are looking for a close, relaxing, year-round getaway, and appreciate a clean and upscale home, we welcome you.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
As a general contractor with an eye for design, and a human resources director who enjoys cooking, interior decorating, photography and crocheting, we reside in Ventura. We escape to our beautiful mountain home often and find the location ideal (just an hour and a half away). Attention to detail is number one with us, and we pride ourselves in offering a very clean, upscale, peaceful, Zen-like option for your mountain getaway.
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 is 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, 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 of this Vacation Home / 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, breath, and reflect. And our very favorite ... watching the sunsets. They truly are amazing!! You won't believe a place like this exists so close!

(Email received from guests) Thank you for making your beautiful home available to us over the Labor Day holiday. We found it after seeing another cabin listed on Craigslist; so glad that we did our homework! The two bedrooms and baths offered the privacy we (two couples) needed, and we loved the openness of the main room. The attached deck was perfect for our morning coffee and evening wine. Amazing views – stars, wildlife, mountain vistas – convinced us that we must return to your special mountain retreat again soon. We highly recommend your place to couples! It was simply perfect for us. With our thanks,

(Follow-up email from guests) ....I do believe we have been spoiled for life now with our experience with your place!

We have really enjoyed our time together-Thanks so much Sharon and Peter Kelly Waldport, OR A beautiful tranquil home-We needed some down time before our big adventure!! Bill and Karen Tampa, FL

(Email received from guests) We enjoyed our third stay in your mountain home very much! The mornings were absolutely beautiful as we had breakfast on the deck each day. Squirrels, bunnies, quail, and jays entertained us. An unusual heat-wave gave us an opportunity to enjoy the community pool and clubhouse ammenities. How wonderful that they are available. The evenings cooled down nicely, and gave us another round of entertainment ... the sunsets and night-sky from your deck are a favorite for us. Many, many thanks for sharing your lovely mountain home with us once again. We'll be back.

(Email received from guests) We enjoyed ourselves immensely way up here. The altitude and wildlife in this area and the surroundings are absolutely incredible! The stars at night are superb as well. For us, this is definitely one for the books.
Positive Rating
(From our cabin guestbook) WOW! I hate for this guestbook to sound like a broken record, but your attention to detail and sense of anticipation are wonderful! This really was a "home away from home". We got to taste the community and the deliciously fresh mountain air. We were able to smell the aroma of baked redwood on the balcony. We got to hear the various tones of "Joeys" as they discussed the optimum strategy for relieving us of peanuts. And what we saw, oh my! From the tiny ladybug inching across my putting line to the infinite expanse above in the crystal-clear sky, God's spectacular creation was always before us here. But what we felt... Tranquility made manifest through your hospitality! So, with such sensory overload, why do I feel so relaxed?!? Thank you so very much for the love & joy with which you filled this place, priceless intangibles that await every guest.
