We stayed here for my son’s wedding with 4 generations! It was a perfect cottage in every way! The game room for my grandchildren and the first floor with no stairs for my 94 year old “young” mom.The home was fully stocked with everything possible to make us comfortable. The jacuzzi, BBQ, outdoor lights, s’mores to make, snacks, and a very very clean home. Best VRBO EVER!

Our family had THE BEST time at Lily Pond Cottage. Tons of amenities from games to hot tub; from the living room fireplace to the outdoor fire pit; terry cloth robes for everyone, monster-sized towels for the hot tub and a drier to get them warm and toasty. The kitchen had everything you'd ever need including drawers full of kitchen utensils, a crock pot, sliced bread toaster, double oven, coffee makers, microwave, dishwasher, and on and on. Nancy thought of everything!!!Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We can't wait to return.

Isabel and her husband were a joy to interact with and host...The extreme winter snow storms delayed their arrival by several weeks, but they were understanding and open to alternatives. Once they arrived with teenaged snow boarders and skiers in tow they were quite "happy campers". They left my home immaculate and were very considerate guests. I welcome their return and I hope they will return soon.

We arrived to lovely twinkling Christmas lights and Christmas music playing. The hot tub was also ready to go. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and bake. The dining table was great for eating, puzzling and playing games. Every room was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, BBQing in the back yard, and making smores with the firepit. My grandkids LOVED the basement playroom and spent a lot of time in there. They also loved the swing in the front yard. Nancy was very easy to communicate with and thought of everything to make our trip special! We would definitely return for another visit.

Amazing for families

The property was a dream. Recently renovated and very well appointed (frankly better than my own kitchen at home!), it made for a perfect stay for our two families. We had two toddlers and they absolutely loved all the toys available to them in the playroom. Nancy thought of everything and there were utensils and plates for the kids, baby gates, high chair etc. The rooms were great as well with two of them having en suite baths. We will absolutely stay here again in the future!

Express Mountain Vacation

With the beginning of a new school year just around the corner, we planned a spontaneous 4 day getaway up in Lake Arrowhead. The Lily Pond Cottage was the perfect location to the Village and Lake with secure yard for our dog to safely roam around. The cottage interiors were exceptionally clean, comfortable and stylish. Nancy our host was excellent to communicate with, she has thought of everything to ensure your stay is wonderful and relaxing. Our only disappointment was that we did not book a longer stay at The Lily Pond Cottage.

Clarissa stayed at the Lily Pond Cottage for her daughter's wedding. A big storm came in during her stay and knocked out the electricity and power lines for days. Thank goodness I have a large generator on property - big enough to power the entire house. My home was among only a few in the neighbor that had lights, electricity and heat. Clarissa's communication skills were excellent! She kept me informed every step of the way. She was helpful with interacting with the repair men and was very understanding under the circumstances. She and her family took good care of my home and left it clean and tidy, I am grateful to have such wonderful guests! Clarissa, congratulations on your daughter's recent nuptials!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Wood

Host profile image
I purchased this beautiful property in December of 2020 and immediately began a complete renovation...The entire home has been renovated from top to bottom. New furnace, dual central air conditioners, insulated the attic, generator, new appliances, new flooring, door casings and hardware, toilets, sinks, mirror, paint, dining room booth, kitchen cabinets - everything.

Why they chose this property

This is the most beautiful spot! We just fell in love with it!

We love coming up and getting away from the summer heat.

What makes this property unique

We have a son who is quadriplegic from M.S., so we have equipped the home with a ceiling lift, ramps, barn doors, a roll-in shower and an accessible bathroom on the first floor. Situated on a level lot, he can enjoy the entire property with us.
