About this property

Boulder Crest. Historic Lakeview Cabin



Boulder Crest is an historic 1930 cabin built on top of great boulders looking over Lake Arrowhead. The stunning, lake view deck was rebuilt in 2024. This is the mountain-cabin fantasy come true - except that it comes with new mattresses, dishwasher, washer
and dryer, chrome cookware, Wi-fi and all of the things that maintain the romance without sacrificing the comforts.

Boulder Crest occupies a triple lot, which allows for privacy,
outside recreation and parking. This beautifully
preserved cabin was featured on the Lake Arrowhead Home Tour.


The romantic interior is all wood with a large, rock fireplace. It
includes three bedrooms (two of which overlook the lake) and two bathrooms. Boulder Crest is ideal for sharing since
the “bunkroom”, which contains two double beds built into the pine walls, has its own entrance, bath and deck. There is a queen-size bed in the main bedroom; a double bed in the guest bedroom; two doubles in the bunkroom. New down comforters and pillows are included for each bed.

The kitchen is fully equipped, including an O’keefe and Merrit
stove. The refrigerator has a filtered, ice maker.
There is a barbecue on the very large deck overlooking the lake.
Wi-fi, Cable TV, VCR, CD player,coffee maker, microwave, washer and dryer are also included. There are two thermostat-controlled furnaces.


The cabin, which is within walking distance to Arrowhead Village,
also comes with a pass to access our dock for fishing and swimming and to the trails around the lake.

Check in time is 4pm and Check out time is 11am, unless otherwise agreed upon. The minimum stay during the week is 3 days. Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving rent only by the week.

Before you book a few things to consider. This cabin is not for everyone. It is very old, magical and charming but it is not a resort, does not come with hot tubs, concierge services, and a lot of the luxury touches that you will find some, particularly modern places in the mountains . Writers have gotten Emmy awards and an Oscar nomination for the work they have done here, but they still had to go down the outside stairs to the bunk room to take a shower because the upstairs bath has only a tub. They had to supply their own firewood, and live with a 50" TV.

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth Robins

Host profile image
I am a writer as well as the landlord of multifamily buildings in Los Angeles and Palm Desert. I'm particularly fond of this cabin. We have owned it for 20 years.. Our kids have some of the best memories of their childhood there. Because we still use it, I am particular about renting it. It's not for parties, large groups, or people looking for excitement. It's quiet and magical.
