Listing highlights

Mountain view

Soak up the view during your stay.
Just 2 hours from LA, our unique location at 6500 feet is 100% off grid. We are up in the pines above the mucky muck. Grab some friends, and come let loose for a weekend. Whether it's romance for two or a larger group we will accommodate your needs and make sure you have the most enjoyable stay possible.

The space
Ours is a mountain house. Built with rustic in mind. The 1300 square foot house is 2 levels, a large bedroom is below with its own bathroom including a bathtub. The bedroom has 2 or 3 beds, depending in the configuration. There is a king and a fold out futon. We have opened up what used to be a storage room to be another bedroom. It is very enclosed but it has a futon and a tw twin bed in it. Other configurations for bedding can be setup depending on your needs. If you have a group, we can try to accomodate you. The kitchen, common area and spacious deck are upstairs. There is also a full bathroom and shower upstairs. With an open floor plan so you never feel crowded. We call this the library as it has the classic floor to ceiling, wall to wall bookcase. (it even has the super cool ladder on wheels) Be sure to look for the "hidden library door" to a secret room straight out of the movies. The "library" also hosts the wood burning stove as well as a queen sized bed and futon making for a perfect cozy night next to the fire.
The kitchen is large enough to store and prepare food suitable for making meals for yourself or your entire group. The deck provides beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and offers a private, relaxing environment. Watch the deer graze and breathe the fresh mountain air. It is especially enjoyable stargazing at night without any city lights.

Guest access
The property is just over 10 acres in the mountains. Hiking is a favorite pastime for visitors with so much to explore. Lots of wildlife, Birds, families of deer every day, Wild Turkey, maybe a Bobcat or two but that is not as common. Make sure to check with us as we do sometimes have bear and mountain lions that roam around and everyone needs to be on their toes during those times. We are onsite and can always give you some direction on where to go and answer any questions you may have. But we do try to offer you as much privacy as you need. Don't forget to ask about the ongoing work with very unique mountain trampoline playground, king size swinging hammock and other fun projects always in the works.

Other things to note
Covid-19 update...
Well with so much going on we aren't going to make "vaccine statement" or requirement. We are fine with whatever you have done and are doing to keep healthy. We have seen the renewed spirit in people when they leave and how much they have enjoyed being away from all the things that are so normal down there and we do not have up here. With that said, we have maintained our cleaning process to accommodate the attention to detail and standard of cleanliness needed today. We've added a full disinfectant pass through the manor by spraying everything with a CDC approved antibacterial cleaner after we have stripped beds, but before anything else. We completely shower the place with it. Then we mop and clean the surfaces with it again. Making sure to get the little things like door handles and light switches etc. We added at least day in between stays for your your safety. All of our linens are washed in hot water every time, including the comforters. We want you to be confident that we've done all we can to put your minds at ease when you arrive.

There is really only parking up on the driveway for 1 car; however, there is additional space for a second car down below at the entrance to the property. We we are pretty strict about only having two cars per stay. Contact us if this is a problem and we will see what can be done to accommodate.

Neighborhood highlights

We are 20 minutes from the closest store, we suggest making sure you bring any supplies you may need as to avoid a lengthy trip for mayo. Most of the road is paved but the last 2 miles is dirt. You do not need 4 wheel drive, but best to plan to come in the daytime so as not to get lost or make work for yourself in getting here. There are no street lights up here and you are driving on a dirt road among the tall pines. It can be a little intimidating when in unfamiliar areas. Nevertheless we are also happy to assist you getting up here if you have a difficult time.

We are removed and a bit isolated but we do have neighbors that can hear when things get loud. So if you think you are going to come and party and be loud, be prepared, because up here in the mountains we all have a rule: If you can hear it, you are invited. (so bring enough for everyone)

My work: Commercial Fisherman
Lives in Tehachapi, California
I'm a Midwestern boy that's spent my 30+ plus adult years as a commercial fisherman here in California. Im not a California native but I'm well asimilated. I've worked hard and found my shangrila. Kristen IS a native and for anything I may fall short on she is right there to put it together. I can do a lot but as a team we can do it all. You'll hear from her, but probably see me. I get all the reviews while she does the work. We both know California incredibly well and can help in many ways as you travel in and out of the area. Together with the best find in California, we try to provide you with a relaxing and memorable experience while here in Tehachapi. She likes to garden, rocking to metallica, she also loves to bake so.....you may be surprised with something incredible. We love to ride dirt bikes but I like it best while listening to Vivaldi. Having been a commercial fisherman for most of my life you'll find signs of that all over the property. The swing being the largest one. That's about it.
