Family snow trip

The property is so nice, clean, and every detail was thought of. My two grandchildren who are 2 and 7 really enjoyed the playroom. It was a family trip my husband and I, our two children, their spouses, and our two grandchildren. There was room for everyone along with nice, fenced yard for our two dogs. Really enjoyed our short but sweet trip.

Retreat, at home.

We have stayed in some beautiful homes but this one is special. The minute you walk in it is peaceful. Not overdone but just done. Spotlessly clean, comfortable high end textiles, and not a single want or wish to be had in the generous and thoughtful kitchen. Communication is also outstanding and quick. A lot of information provided before arrival and throughout the stay as needed. I look for Premier Hosts and good ratings - this was a win and allowed for a true retreat from the city, but feels like home. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

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.

Perfect Cottage!

Our family had a wonderful time at the "Lily Pond" cottage! It was spacious, and yet so cozy. The cleanliness of the home, beautiful furnishings, fully stocked kitchen, perfect game room for our young grandchildren, was appreciated by everyone. Above all, Nancy is the best host! Incredibly kind, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed to have a special three-generation family gathering. Thank you, Nancy!

Wonderful!

We had a great stay. The home is beautiful and very welcoming. This was the most well stocked VRBO I have stayed in. Nancy even had tooth brushes and tooth paste for every bathroom! It was like staying in a 5 star hotel room. She has every cooking utensil and gadget in the kitchen which is a blast to cook in! This home had something for everyone. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Happy New Year!

Everything you are looking for this is it!

From start to finish this trip was amazing. The house and the host had a very big impact on my stay. The house was beautiful and came with everything we needed including toothbrushes! The kitchen was fully stocked so all I needed was food. My dog was super comfortable and she even had extra dog food, and doggie bags. She provided us with everything you can think of. The host even gave us our privacy; we had no complaints on extra guest that came to visit for a day or any noise complaints with music playing late. Honestly can’t wait to book this house again. One word: AMAZING !

Best house on the lake!!!

I cannot say enough good things. This house made our family trip stress free. Every detail and thoughtful touches made our stay at this location the best experience I have ever had at an ABNB. As adults, the house is laid out so nicely that we could actually relax and enjoy instead of taking care of anxious little ones. All ages will love this house. In fact I will be rethinking my own home appliances after having used the ones in this kitchen. Cooking in this kitchen was fantastic!! Again, can’t say enough. Absolutely perfect home with every need attended to. Thank you Nancy!!!

Amazing Stay

As a family we often take an opportunity when we can to leave the city and escape to the mountains. Our lives are often filled with running our teens to soccer practices, softball practices, basketball practices, school activities etc. not to mention working long hours. This little getaway was much needed and the house provided so much of the warmth that a regular home brings.We didn’t have to worry about forgotten amenities like toothbrushes or hair dryers. Everything was at our fingertips . We enjoyed all aspects of the house and we would definitely return. Thank you again for sharing your home. It was absolutely relaxing and amazing.

The pictures do not do this home justice!!

We had an amazing stay at this property! The only way to really understand how amazing is to actually stay here :) The kitchen was stocked, the beds were super comfortable, the hot tub was hot and ready upon arrival and the welcome basket was delicious! We had to do a little work while we were here and there was a great spot all set up for just that. Having access to the Lake Arrowhead trails was a big bonus for us, too! The only pro tip I'd offer is, if you are counting on playing shuffleboard, be sure to let the owner know so you can be sure there will be enough sand available. Other than that, you will find absolutely everything you need here! We enjoyed an evening at Tunes in the Trees...definitely recommend that if you're in the area on a Friday. We will certainly keep this property in mind for future getaways!

Wonderful Christmas stay

Our family stayed at the Lily Pond Cottage over Christmas this year. We had a wonderful time. The house is perfect! We loved the Christmas decorations, and the decor in each room was perfect. We loved the kitchen which has everything to cook family dinners with everything you need to make the meal, that was so great. Everything was so clean and perfect, beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were spotless and had accommodations for everyone. We all loved the deep tub for a relaxing soak. Our granddaughter had a wonderful time using the play area downstairs. Overall, it was a perfect and enjoyable stay! The stay was easy to set up and Nancy was so easy to work with, thanks Nancy!! When we travel for Christmas again to California, we would not hesitate to book this wonderful house again. Lake Arrowhead area is beautiful any time of the year. We enjoyed the village and went to see Santa’s Village. We had a great time. Would absolutely recommend the Lily Pond Cottage!

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.
