☆ Recent Guest Review- “The home is beautiful and comfortable. The stay was lovely. The kitchen had everything we needed-there are plenty of blankets and pillows. You just need to bring yourself, food and clothing. We missed there is a French press as well at a keurig. We prefer coffee from a French press so that was a great surprise. Go support Black Dogg cafe! Green lake is a lovely walk around. Even if you don’t swim, we found the beach passes we’re worth just laying around.” Shari

Nestled in the scenic San Bernardino Mountains, our home is a picturesque destination perfect for guests looking to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy a range of seasonal activities. The lake area is known for its serene environment, providing a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

In winter, the area transforms into a snowy retreat, with the lake often freezing over, ideal for those interested in experiencing a white winter landscape. The surrounding mountains offer opportunities for snowshoeing and enjoying the crisp mountain air. The climate is cooler throughout the year, making it a refreshing getaway during the hot summer months.

Personal Vehicle: The most common way to access Green Valley Lake is by car. The roads leading up to and around the area, including Highway 18 and Highway 330, are well-maintained but can be winding and steep. In winter, these roads may require chains or a 4WD vehicle due to snow and ice.

Public Transportation: Public transport options are limited. There might be some regional bus services by Mountain Transit which provides routes connecting the mountain communities, including Green Valley Lake, to the San Bernardino Valley. However, services are less frequent than in urban areas.

Walking and Biking: Within Green Valley Lake itself, walking and biking can be pleasant ways to get around during the warmer months. The area offers a variety of trails and scenic routes. However, due to the terrain and the spread-out nature of the community, walking and biking might not always be practical for longer distances or during snowy months.

For visitors, having a personal vehicle is highly recommended to fully enjoy the range of activities the area offers and for convenient access to local amenities and attractions.

Please Note: This is NOT a party house. We value our neighbors and ask that all guests do the same. Our neighbor is especially vigilant and has previously reported guests for parties, loud noise in the hot tub after 10 PM, and trespassing on her property. These incidents have resulted in fines issued by local authorities. If you're looking for a party-friendly space, this home is not the right fit. We kindly ask that only respectful, rule-abiding guests book this property.

☆ Pet-Friendly Accommodations: We welcome pets for a fee of $75 per pet, per stay. Please note that a pet fee will be applied to cover the cleaning of pet hair. If any waste beyond hair (such as urine or feces) is found, an additional cleaning fee of $200 will be charged. Cleaning up after your pet is your responsibility, and pets should not be left unattended in the home, as barking may lead to neighbor complaints.
*Additional pet fees (plus tax) will be processed through our guest portal after your reservation is confirmed. Kindly let us know if you’ll be traveling with a pet. Thank you for your cooperation!

☆ Backyard: While we do have a large backyard it is not fully fenced.

☆ Power outages are common within the Mountain Areas and are generally prompted by the power company directly. We strive to notify our guests in advance, but this is dependent on the power company notifying us in advance, which doesn't always happen. If an outage occurs during your stay, reach out to us and we'll be happy to send over flashlights if needed. Please note, we are not liable for outages during your stay.
