Just a block away from the National Forest, and perched among the pines and cedars is this lovingly restored tri-story cabin in the Lake Arrowhead neighborhood of Twin Peaks. Our 3 rules: -no smoking (thank you) -no pets (sorry, no exceptions.) -no grilling or bonfires (we're surrounded by trees!) Check-in: 5pm, Check-out: 12 noon Like Goldilocks in her children's story, give our quaint cabin a try and after some cozy time by the fire you too, will find the "3 Bears" cabin to be JUST RIGHT! The space THE THREE BEARS CABIN HOME DESCRIPTION This vintage 1950s home was beautiful to begin with, but over the last few years, it's had most every surface refinished and remodeled, with custom touches like hand-crafted stair rails, a cozy master reading nook, and a Three Bears wood-sawn mural. Please note: *37 steps to the front door. Twin Peaks is 4 miles (about 10 minutes) away from Lake Arrowhead Village, and perched about a 1,000 feet higher in the forest ridge above the lake. It truly is an alpine setting. With giant White Firs (the Christmas Tree-looking ones) that only grow at this elevation, and that quaint small-town feel that surprisingly still exists, we fell in love with this place. Guests can enjoy the many other comfortable amenities that our house provides. Our home is heated by a mounted wall heater and wood-burning fireplace original to the home. HOME AMENITIES The main living area welcomes you with faux-fur draped log couches, a brick hearth, and a cute little twin bed in the corner for kids to nap or play on in the company of lounging parents. The fully-remodeled adjacent kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. LIVINGROOM: The main living area is adjacent to the kitchen and has cozy & comfortable seating for guests. Our home is heated by a mounted wall heater and wood-burning fireplace original to the home. KITCHEN: The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, oven, toaster, microwave, tea kettle, dishes, glassware and cookware & coffee maker. *For the coffee-lovers, we have a 12-cup coffee maker with glass carafe that brews regular ground coffee with basket filters. BEDROOMS: Up the beautifully-crafted stairs and around the corner sits the large master bedroom alone on the third floor. Inside, a log-framed 4-poster bed awaits to wisk you away to dreamland. Before you drift off though, sit back with a book in the custom reading nook that we think is its own little dreamland. Walk downstairs from the living room and you'll find three beds (one twin-over-twin bunk and one double bed), and a hand-made wood mural of the Three Bears coming back home to a sleeping Goldilocks (please note: we have a space heater to keep the downstairs bedroom cozy, too!). BATHROOMS: The two bathrooms are fully tiled in unique patterns and feature stone counters and marble vessel sinks. DECK: Outside the main room bay window is a spacious deck high above street level with views of the forest and ridgeline beyond. We've been steadily working on this cabin, and all those hand-crafted wood touches you'll see are our way of paying homage to a long-lost art. We hope we've created a memorable place for you and your loved ones to relax and enjoy. ** OUR NEIGHBORHOOD Located in Lake Arrowhead’s Twin Peaks Neighborhood: This serene area is an ideal getaway for the whole family and makes a great home base for all of the summer and winter activities Lake Arrowhead and San Bernardino Mountain Resorts have to offer.

Q: WHAT TYPE OF WEATHER SHOULD I EXPECT ON MY TRIP? A: PLEASE COME ADEQUATELY PREPARED!!! Be sure to check the local forecast for weather conditions. In the fall & winter months expect fog, rain, sleet and snow. Roads can be very icy, and the owners cannot be responsible for weather or driving conditions. Q: DO I NEED TIRE CHAINS ON MY VEHICLE? A: During the SNOWY season it is wise to carry snow chains. CHP requires possession of chains/cables when traveling mountain roads in icy conditions. Chains can be purchased at the base of the mountain near Highland Avenue & Hwy 330 at the Super Walmart. *Be sure to get the right size for your tires. Q: WILL I HAVE TO SHOVEL SNOW? A: YES! Our neighborhood road is plowed by the county - but our driveway, steps, entry and deck are not.
