Guest access
All areas of the cottage are open to you, as well as the yard on the left and the upper and lower patios.

Other things to note
Note that the cottage is in a rustic mountain community. Many of our neighbors are full-time residents and we always want to be kind and respectful.

The property is located in an area with rural country roads (aka narrow and bumpy!), so just be aware.

This is an old cottage with delicate appointments, please treat it with care!

Keep in mind that Lake Arrowhead is a private lake for use only by residents of the immediate surrounding properties. There are, however, ways to enjoy it! Take a boat ride on the Lake Arrowhead Queen, sign up for a water skiing lesson, or meander along the waterfront at Lake Arrowhead Village. There are a number of other lakes in the area as well—experience the waterslide at Lake Gregory, kayak on the pristine (and well-stocked) Green Valley Lake, or spend the afternoon in Big Bear on a Pontoon.
