Knotty by Nature | Luxury Cabin Stay

Indulge in a luxury stay at our 3-bed, 4-bath cabin in Wrightwood, CA, where comfort meets adventure. Nestled against the breathtaking Angeles National Forest, the cabin provides a serene escape for unforgettable getaways. Cozy bedrooms, a fireplace, and mountain views create a welcoming ambiance. After exploring the forest trails, unwind in the private hot tub. With modern amenities and a scenic backdrop, our cabin promises a luxurious and memorable Wrightwood retreat.

Knotty By Nature is a labor of love for the Davis family. It was once owned by grandpa and bought by his daughter, Kathie, to keep in the family. During 2023, it was completely remodeled. Everything grandpa was `going to do` got done. Kathie kept his dream alive. She even repurposed the old loft banister into planks and built new open-shelving for the kitchen. Imagine the charm of 1960s A-frame windows meeting a farmhouse style with urban/industrial flare. It`s all new - everything - a must visit!

Our goal is to make this space as inviting and relaxing as possible. We use high quality linens and bathroom amenities for you to enjoy during your stay here. Just a short drive or stroll to the village and a 4.5 mile drive to Mountain High Resort.

PARKING: There are two driveways on the property. One is a long gradual uphill driveway to the garage (15-30% grade). Note: garage is NOT accessible to guests. The second is a semi-circle around the huge front oak tree (5-10% grade). If over 4` of snow, the driveways and berm will be plowed for your stay. We will leave a snow plow shovel if you want to partake in some winter exercise. Otherwise, the eaves cover enough walkway to access the front door. Guests are welcome to park in the driveway during their stay. Please note that the garage will not be available for use.

ACCESSIBILITY:
There are stairs up to the deck in front of the house but you can access the interior by just 2 steps from the back door. Host can set up ramp if requested prior to stay. The driveway will take you most of the way there (all cement). The first-floor bathroom shower is tiled and has level sliding glass doors. Flooring is luxury vinyl planks with exception to rugs that can be rolled out of the way.


Pet Policy

Knotty by Nature is pet friendly for 2 pets maximum. We ask guests to pay a $75 pet cleaning fee at reservation. Any additional pets will be considered for an additional $25/pet. Dogs must be crate trained for when the owner is away from the property. Guests MUST notify us prior to their arrival if they are bringing a pet & the breed/size.

A portion of the pet fee is donated to a local animal rescue: Beazy Farms Animal Sanctuary.


The Location

The home is located 0.6 miles from downtown Wrightwood and 4.5 miles from Mountain High Resort. The downtown area provides great eateries and entertainment including local shops, a brewery, live music on select days, and a local farmer`s market every Friday.

There is an abundance of gorgeous hiking trails perfect for either a quick stroll and a picnic, or more strenuous hikes to epic vistas overlooking the surrounding Angeles National Forest. We also have mountain biking and disc golf as local activities. For travelers looking to explore local Southern California the property is located only an hour and a half from well known beaches. Where else can you ski and surf in the same day?

During the winter months, weather can be unpredictable and we strongly advise you to purchase travel insurance. You can do this when booking on your platform. If there are last minute road closures (accidents, weather, fire, etc.), car trouble/chains, family emergencies or other, you will not be reimbursed.

When visiting a mountain town, it`s important to be aware that you may encounter various types of insects and bugs due to the natural environment. No refunds will be issued, though we make every effort to manage pest control.
