Your stay in the Crooked Branch cabin transcends the ordinary—it transports you to a realm where time stands still and nature's wonders are brought to life. Embrace the unique fusion of a natural history museum and a nature retreat, and create memories that will forever echo in your heart.
As you step inside, you'll be enchanted by the tasteful interiors. This cabin is more than just a place to stay; it's a gallery of fine art and ethically sourced taxidermy, each piece paying homage to the creatures that reside in these mountains. Learn about the natural San Bernardino mountains with your own natural history museum at the cabin! Immerse yourself in the harmonious blend of rustic charm and contemporary elegance—a true masterpiece awaiting your arrival.
With accommodation for up to six guests, this spacious retreat ensures ample room for everyone to unwind and relax. As the golden rays of sunlight peek through the windows, you'll feel a sense of tranquility settle upon you. The cabin boasts two decks, each offering panoramic views that will leave you breathless. Sip your morning coffee or savor a glass of wine as you witness the ever-changing colors of the surrounding wilderness—a front-row seat to nature's symphony.
For those who appreciate culinary delights, indulge your senses in the fully equipped kitchen. Prepare a mouthwatering feast or gather around the firepit for a delightful barbecue experience. Don't forget to bring your s'mores makings.
When it's time to retire for the night, the inviting bedrooms beckon with their cozy charm. Sink into plush beds adorned with crisp linens and let the soothing sounds of nature lull you into a restful sleep. Wake up refreshed and ready to explore the wonders that await you.
Beyond the cabin's confines, adventure awaits. Embark on our suggested hidden trails, or indulge in thrilling outdoor activities such as fishing, kayaking, or skiing, depending on the season. For the nature enthusiast, this destination is a dream come true.
Green Valley Lake, CA, is a picturesque retreat where time seems to stand still. We have amazing sledding in the winter. In the summer, the lake is open to the public where they sell fishing passes, rent out kayaks and pedal boats, and have a swim beach with lifeguards on the weekends. We can send you a digital guidebook that provides all our favorite trails, restaurants, and activities.
Your extraordinary mountain getaway is not just a place to stay—it's an experience that deserves to grace the pages of a magazine cover. Book your stay today and immerse yourself in the magic of this exquisite cabin, where art, nature, and luxury intertwine in perfect harmony.
