Relax in your own way
Finding the perfect spot for a weekend getaway as a family of 4 usually requires a good bit of compromise. Not so with this charming and modern mountain retreat.The home is SPACIOUS, immaculately CLEAN, and well stocked. What I appreciated most was how the layout allowed each of us to unwind in our own way. I could kick back on the gorgeous deck with my coffee, listening to the sounds of nature while the kids alternated between board games and exploring. There is a small creek babbling behind the property and they spent hours cracking acorns for the squirrels, floating leaf boats down the rapids, and having the kind of simple outdoor fun that's becoming rare these days.When we wanted family time, the movie room was perfect for our evening film marathons (good luck staying awake in one of the electric reclining theater seats). We also tackled the nearby (<5 min away) hiking trails; easy enough for the kids but still scenic enough to feel like a real adventure. The owners also supplied a trove of board games to scratch that competitive itch we've all got to prove who's king of the castle (well, queen as it turns out...). If you'd like to cook during your stay, the home comes with all the resources you'd need. The standard pots, pans, kitchen utensils, but also an electric griddle, rice cooker, blender and even a bread maker are available to use...AND I can't forget to mention the tea kettle and espresso machine! If not, the charming village of Blue Jay has restaurants and coffee shops just down the hill, and if you venture just 5 minutes more you can peruse the main hub of Lake Arrowhead. The owners also crafted a great cabin manual that lists out their favorite spots they highly recommend you try, and we haven't been disappointed by any of their selections! Sky Park and the Mountain Skies Astronomical Society Astronomy Village are a quick drive from this cabin.For families looking to escape the city together while also having space to relax individually, I couldn't recommend this place more highly. Our kids are constantly asking when we can return, so we're already planning our return visit!
