Guest Testimonial:
"The perfect relaxing nature getaway!
We had a wonderful time! The house is exactly as photographed - so cute, so cozy. I'll be honest - it was the deck and the lake view that sold me, and they did not disappoint! You can see the lake from almost every room of the house. The deck is so tranquil. Every day, I enjoyed the deck in some capacity - drinking my morning coffee, lounging with a book, or unwinding with a glass of wine. We brought our dog with us, and the owner left the cutest little basket for her with a blanket, dog treats, a ball and a lint roller. The attention to detail is just spectacular. Would stay here again!"

Beautiful view !!! Small cozy house surrounded by trees - Kitchen is well supplied. Beds are very comfortable. Outside patio/balcony is very nice. Only one complaint - Noise! Every morning just after 7:00 a.m. we’d hear machinery or music going. Our tranquil mornings on the balcony interrupted by noise. Other than that, our stay was perfect !!!

We had a great time. The house was cozy with a beautiful deck overlooking the lake. It has enough modern amenities to provide convenience, but the older decorations made it feel cozy and welcoming. Located in a quiet neighborhood, it includes easy access to the hiking trails and the lake. Also, The market is just a 15 mins drive away. This is now one of our favorites on Vrbo. Marilyn, our host was really great too. She made sure we had a great stay and was easy to reach when we had questions.

Incredible views from a delightfully cozy cabin

We had an incredible stay at this cabin in Lake Arrowhead! The fireplace was absolutely wonderful and made our evenings cozy and relaxing. The views were astounding—waking up to the serene lake and mountain scenery was an experience we’ll never forget. The accommodations were fantastic—everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up to make our stay enjoyable. The owner was very helpful and responsive, making the whole process seamless. We can’t wait to return for another peaceful getaway. Highly recommend.

A magical family birthday getaway

Both my sons turned 1 and 4 years old, and this was the perfect getaway to spend quality time with their out-of-town grandparents. There was no snow in the forecast and we woke up Tuesday morning with a couple inches of snow on the ground and big flakes falling from the sky. First time both of my boys got to see snow. The gas fireplace was perfect, no need to worry about wood logs, hot embers or ash. Before the snow arrived I was able to take my son down to the lake shore to teach him to cast a fishing pole. We also did some tubing at the nearby snow valley. Snowdrift tubing park was not open yet. We would be delighted to return again.

Gets better every time

My husband and I have stayed at this cabin with our dogs multiple times starting more than 10 years ago. The place gets better every time! We had no complaints to start with but the interior has been freshened with hard flooring throughout, new living room furniture, new appliances and butcher block counters in a great little kitchen. We never turned on a TV during our 3-night stay this time because the giant deck overlooking the lake is paradise. We didn’t use the grill this time but we have in the past and it’s another great perk. The little loop the street makes is a perfect short early morning and bedtime walk with the dogs. It’s a lovely, safe and quiet neighborhood and all the houses, including this one, are beautifully lit at night. The host is super responsive and obviously works hard to earn such a stellar rating. Every time we go, we wonder why we haven’t been back sooner. I know this review is full of compliments but trust me, they are well deserved!

Outstanding stay in an ideal Lake Arrowhead retreat

We booked Marilyn’s lovely cabin for a long weekend getaway to celebrate my milestone birthday and a daughter’s birthday as well. We had a group of four plus two pups, while another daughter and her husband stayed at another cabin nearby. The cabin was as pictured with a stunning view of the lake from the large livingroom picture window. The deck was spacious, bug-free and quiet, well-appointed with a bbq grill, fire pit for s’mores and plenty of seating. The bedrooms were comfortable and nicely decorated, while the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The cabin is an easy 10-15 min drive to supermarkets, shops and restaurants (thumbs up to Spade and Spatula and Jetty’s) and to good hiking trails. We hiked Will Abell Memorial Trail twice with pups during a heatwave and were happy that much of the trail is covered overhead by a canopy of trees. We took Marilyn’s advice and brought four bedsheets to cover her sofas and chairs to save them from dog fur. We cleaned as best we could because I appreciate any owner willing to rent out to families with pets. (Dogs deserve vacations too!) The wifi was robust, the AC powerful and water pressure better than home! A wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Marilyn Lawenda

Host profile image
I am very active and love hiking the trails, dirt biking and quading (4 wheelers) with my son. I go to Lake Arrowhead every chance I get, to unwind, relieve stress and center myself. I am a warm and caring women and the cabin is a reflection of that. I spend my free time volunteering in third world countries, building schools, working with orphans and disaster relief.

Why they chose this property

About 40 years ago I rented this cabin for winter break with some friends and family. We all fell in love with the peace and tranquility of the Mountains, the magnificent location and coziness of the cabin. I became a frequent renter and eventually purchased it from the owners. For me, it has always been a magical place, and I love it as much as the first time I rented.

What makes this property unique

As I travel up the mountain from L.A., only a 90 minute drive, I can physically feel the layers of stress peel off. By the time I get there I am already in a renewed and relaxed state. Most noticeable is the lack of traffic and noise, just the quiet sounds of nature.
I love the four seasons, each for their own unique character. I originally thought this was a winter resort, but actually it is popular all seasons, and especially summer. I am located on a private lane, away from the highways, surrounded by trees and the most spectacular lake views. You can usually find me on the deck staring aimlessly at the lake and listening to the birds and the wind blowing in the trees. I am a dog lover, and my dogs love Lake Arrowhead, where they can run on the trails and explore. The close proximity to Los Angeles is a plus, because whenever I need to escape I just get in the car and make the short drive.
