"The Hershey Cabin was perfectly cozy, immaculate, decorated to match the mountain living, and sits in a perfect location.. we enjoyed the coziness of the cabin, enjoyed playing cards in the crisp outdoors on the patio.

Cozy Shabby Chic, Romantic, close to lake and FIDO friendly cabin.

"This was the perfect place to regroup after a busy day exploring Arrowhead! The cottage is cute and clean. Easy access to the cabin and a super quick drive into town.

Historic Lakeview Cabin, Restored, Walk to Village

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (158)

Problem was no power due to the CA wildfires. Freezing upon arrival and everything was closed in the area except the Stater Bros so we contacted the owner. Quick response. We opted to leave. Disappointed, but not the owner's fault. Owner was very gracious and communicative. "

"Everything that was advertised was spot on. The location was great and the house is nice! This is a perfect place to stay for families and to be close to the slopes and the Village. There are not shower amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body wash), but that's ok we travel with our own stuff. Other than that they had all the amenities needed. Suzannah was a great host, thank you!"
