HOME DESCRIPTION

This vintage 1950's home was beautiful to begin with, but over the last two years, it's had most every surface refinished and remodeled, with custom touches like hand-crafted stair rails, a cozy master reading nook, and a Three Bears wood-sawn mural.

The main living area welcomes you with faux-fur draped log couches, a brick hearth, and a cute little twin bed in the corner for kids to nap or play on in the company of lounging parents. The fully-remodeled adjacent kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

HOME AMENITIES

The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, oven, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, tea kettle, dishes, glassware and cookware.

Up the beautifully-crafted stairs and around the corner sits the large master bedroom alone on the third floor.  Inside, a log-framed 4-poster bed awaits to wisk you away to dreamland.  Before you drift off though, sit back with a book in the custom reading nook that we think is its own little dreamland.

Walk downstairs from the living room and you'll find three beds (one twin-over-twin bunk and one double bed), and a hand-made wood mural of the Three Bears coming back home to a sleeping Goldilocks.

The two bathrooms are fully tiled in unique patterns and feature stone counters and marble vessel sinks.

Outside the main room bay window is a spacious deck high above street level with views of the forest and ridgeline beyond.

We've been steadily working on this cabin, and all those hand-crafted wood touches you'll see are our way of paying homage to a long-lost art.  We hope we've created a memorable place for you and your loved ones to relax and enjoy.

Twin Peaks is 4 miles (about 10 minutes) away from Lake Arrowhead Village, and set about a 1,000 feet higher in the forest ridge above the lake.  It truly is an alpine setting. With giant White Firs (the Christmas Tree-looking ones) that only grow at this elevation, and that quaint small-town feel that surprisingly still exists, we fell in love with this place.

*And with our National Forest Vehicle Adventure Pass, you can park/visit any one of the many US Forest Service trails and recreation areas. There are a wide variety to choose from, ranging from easy, walking trails to more advanced hikes to rock formations & hot springs!
