About this property

Burnt Mill Canyon Cottage, "Just for 2", Gorgeous - Romantic - Immaculate - A/C

Established in 1922, (just three quarters of a mile from the village) our cottage is nestled on a secluded half-acre lot on the lush side of Lake Arrowhead among the dogwoods, maples, old growth cedars and pines. When you arrive, park on our level circular driveway and then step back in time by crossing our seasonal creek over the wooden foot bridge. As you approach the cottage, notice the rock walls, live edge siding, and the massive front door. You will have arrived at one of the most picturesque cottages, in one of the quietest canyons, in Lake Arrowhead. If this cottage is booked, try our “Historic Hershey Cabin,” by searching for that name on the internet.

Our intent is to keep our cottage in top notch shape - Therefore it must be left in a neat and clean condition upon checkout. We charge extra for excessive cleanup.

During our major renovation, we installed porcelain tile floors, granite counter-tops, all new stainless appliances and a central heating system to keep you cozy. The cottage has been professionally decorated by my wife, an interior designer, who is experienced in incorporating comfort and elegance into home decor. It is furnished with both modern furnishings and antiques, providing the creature comforts of modern day while maintaining the old-fashioned warmth of a traditional Lake Arrowhead cottage. For your enjoyment, we decorate for each season.

The focal point of the cottage is the exquisite fireplace, faced with hand-hewn, split granite boulders. It is accented by a rustic, knotty pine mantel and artisan, hand-hammered, bronze fireplace doors. The beautiful gas log fireplace ignites with the push of a button. What a perfect place to snuggle up by a glowing fire and watch a movie!

Next to the fireplace is a state of the art, LG 4K, OLED TV with the super easy to use, voice activated Amazon, Fire TV Cube. We provide Netflix, Amazon Prime, MAX, PBS Masterpiece, Acorn, BritBox, Hallmark, crackle, freevee, tubi, etc. Listen to music on Pandora with our Danon receiver, with 4 Polk speakers throughout the cottage. We have very high speed (1 Gig up & down) Frontier fiber-optic internet, with an Amazon eero Wi-Fi router mesh system. The living room is a perfect place for you to snuggle up by the fire with each other, and either read or watch a movie.

The "Hobbit" bathroom, downstairs, has a beautiful slate back splash, custom lighting and a unique sink that has been carved out of a large granite rock. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities of home. A high-end washing machine and dryer are in the hallway upstairs.

The beautifully decorated bedroom suite (with mini split air conditioning) has peaceful views of the canyon forest, and cozy, upscale bedding on a top rated - medium firmness - queen memory foam mattress. This elegant room has a vaulted ceiling, separate sitting area, and full-size closet. Relax after a day of exploring, by unwinding under the rain shower head in the recently remodeled master bathroom. The bedroom also has access to an outside deck with two chase lounges. Recline in them while sipping a glass of wine and enjoying a peaceful view of the canyon.

The cottage has a charming front porch and a secluded side patio where you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner while enjoying the scenery and the sounds of birds. On a cool summer evening, relax while sipping hot cocoa and marveling at the stars!

We provide an easy-to-use binder at the cabin, with our twelve favorite walks/short hikes in Lake Arrowhead and the surrounding areas. The binder provides maps, descriptions, mileage, and estimated time, etc. For the more adventurous hikers, we provide books/maps describing hikes in the San Bernardino Forest. You can also fish and swim in nearby Lake Gregory or in Big Bear Lake.

You will have the use of (1,200 sq ft) which includes the entire downstairs and the primary bedroom suite upstairs. You will also have use of all outside patios and the balcony. There is a second, locked, private bedroom that my wife and I use. We will of course not be there during your stay!

The Lake Arrowhead area is a little hidden gem, with a quaint village, wonderful local restaurants, and various shopping opportunities. If you are looking for a romantic get-away, or just a place to relax and have fun, this is just the place. Lake Arrowhead celebrates all four seasons - warm summer days, fall colors, snow in the winter, and a beautiful spring.

Our security system will be turned off prior to your arrival.

My wife and I look forward to having you as guests at the Burnt Mill Canyon Cottage!

Cabin was perfect!
Had an amazing time here with my husband. We are newlyweds and were looking for a weekend getaway to celebrate NYE and this was the perfect place. Romantic, adorably decorated, and close to the village. Such attention to detail throughout the cabin. My only suggestion would be to add a Brita or some sort of water filter, as there was no water dispenser on the fridge itself. Think that would be convenient for visitors! Other than that, they really thought of everything you could need and were very kind hosts :)

Cozy Get Away
We loved the area and the cottage was perfect for the two of us. Loved how the cottage was decorated for the season and appreciated the thorough directions to the cottage. They have included binders in the cottage that included nearby walks and restaurants. We easily cooked one meal there, lots of kitchen ware.

Simply A Dream
This cottage truly is a magical place. From the moment we set foot on the bridge/walkway leading to the property at night, and a series of warm and inviting lights sprang to life to welcome us, I knew we were in for the treat. The cottage interior itself is cozy as can be, with numerous antique and wooden fixtures and finishes that epitomize the word "cottage." The gorgeous stone fireplace and numerous holiday-themed decorations were a highlight, as was the antler chandelier in the dining area. The hosts have provided everything you could possibly need for a weekend getaway, such as coffee, tea, kitchenware, boardgames, a smart tv with all the apps, and more! Most importantly and impressively, they have painstakingly labeled every inch of the place with information and instructions, so you're never left wondering how best to be considerate of the property during your stay and can focus on the atmosphere of your surroundings. On our final night there, we opted to stay in and relax in the warmth and comfort of the cottage, as we found it so splendid we didn't want to be anywhere else. When you're in an area as pretty as Lake Arrowhead, that's saying something. 10/10, we will absolutely be back for another stay!

Perfect Cottage Getaway
Our stay at this beautiful cabin was perfect in every way. Everything you need or could think of is there. The cabin itself, the patios and deck all lend themselves to tranquil relaxation and reflection. Sitting in front of the fireplace in comfy chairs with heavy blankets watching a plethora of streaming options and a sound system is sublime. The town is very close if you feel inclined. The kitchen is fully loaded. This cabin is a treasure.

Cozy Mountain Cottage
The cottage is located in a forested section of Lake Arrowhead that is about 4min away from the local market/shopping center. It is nestled amongst the trees and just over a wood bridge that crosses a stream. The cottage is extremely well appointed- everything you could want is available. We appreciated that everything was labeled, so we didn't have to search for cooking items, spend time trying to figure out how to work the TV, heater, or how to get hot water in the shower. The decor of the cottage is just what one would want for a cabin in the forest- rustic and warm wood tones. But this decor was very high end and beautifully styled. The bed and linens were very comfortable, with extra available. towels. The living room was cozy with a gas fireplace and a large TV. There were lots of games to play if TV wasn't what you wanted. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. If you are looking for a relaxing get away, this definitely is that place for you. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Charming hidden gem
The cabin and it's location was from a fairy tale. Beautifully nestled in the woods with a trickling creek in front and a bridge to go across. The cabin was meticulously renovated, clean and well stocked. So much information about the surrounding area, activities and dining were provided. The owners notified me when the room was ready early and they were quick to respond to any questions. It is less than a mile from Lake Arrowhead Village and the lake. The price for the cabin is a BARGIN for what you get. We will not be staying anywhere else when we go back. I highly recommend this cabin for your stay.

Beautiful property with communicative owners. The property is very well-maintained, with modern appliances and amenities. I never felt like I needed something that they didn't have available to me as a guest. The price was good, location was great (just under a mile from Lake Arrowhead Village, and in turn, the local grocery store -- Stater Brothers). I chose this as a place for me to get away, relax, and enjoy the outdoors on my solo vacation. As a solo traveler, it was the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I would definitely consider staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Janice

Host profile image
My wife and I love going on vacations, especially to the mountains. My wife's fields of expertise are education/teaching and interior design. I am an accountant and property manager. We love the outdoors - hiking, kayaking, biking etc.

Why they chose this property

Several years ago we purchased, and still own, use and manage, the historic “Hershey Cabin” which you will also find on VRBO under #514845. We liked Lake Arrowhead so much that we decided to buy and fix up another cabin up here. We looked at almost every cabin that came on the market in our price range for over 9 months, until we found the Burnt Mill Canyon Cottage. It is in a fabulous location – in Burnt Mill Canyon, Lake Arrowhead. The canyon is filled with old growth cedars and pines, in addition to the gorgeous dogwood trees with their flowers and autumn colors. When it rains or snows, it creates a seasonal creek that goes underneath our 35 ft. foot bridge. The cottage itself is like a postcard picture – just what you think a cottage should look like. The road outside the cottage is lightly traveled.

What makes this property unique

At less than the price of a 400 square foot room with a parking lot view at Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa, you get your own, gorgeous, immaculate, quiet, private 1200 square foot cottage in one of the prettiest parts of Lake Arrowhead. The kitchen is equipped with immaculate stainless-steel appliances, dishes, glasses, pots, pans etc.
Upon arrival, you will find a welcome basket including chocolates, coffee, tea etc. We have a great housekeeper who keeps the cottage immaculate. Compare the Burnt Mill Canyon Cottage to any Lake Arrowhead hotels and you will see that we beat them across the board in price, privacy, size, quality, and features.
