The Space

Inside, unwind by the fireplace, stream your favorites on the 55" smart TV, drop the needle on our vintage record player or soak the day away in the deep soak bathtub. With lightning-fast 1GB fiber internet and a dedicated workspace, you can stay connected—or disconnect completely and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting.

Upstairs, you'll find two cozy bedrooms with queen beds, fresh linen and closet space - we've also got a Pack'N'Play crib for a little one. There is also a beautifully updated half bathroom and a separate study nook with a mid-century desk to write your next masterpiece.

Outside, the fully fenced yard makes it a worry-free retreat for kids and dogs to roam, while the BBQ grill and outdoor fire pit invites relaxed outdoor meals under the stars. And yes, there’s also a universal EV level 2 charger, that will charge any type of EV, so you’re road-trip ready!

Just minutes from hiking trails, ski resorts, and the quaint town center, Christmas Tree Cottage is a serene basecamp for year-round adventures, romantic getaways — or quiet creative retreats.

About the host

Host profile image

I am from Sydney, Australia and moved to California in 2016. My wife Kate is born and raised in Chicago. We enjoy hanging with our pups, hiking, cooking, eating and exploring.

Why they chose this property

We hadn't heard of Running Springs before we bought our place here in 2025 and we absolutely love it. I am a keen snowboarder, so the fact that it's a 12 minute drive to Snow Valley was huge for us. However in Summer, it's just as nice with great hiking trails and lakes to swim in.

What makes this property unique

We love our place, it's very unique for the area. Originally built in 1948, it's been remodeled and updated to be contemporary while keeping it's original mountain cottage charm.
