As you walk up stairs passing native boulders and trees, you see an A-frame cabin in the woods begin to peek out, inviting you. Once upon the front deck, the large pane windows draw you into this spacious, high-ceiling, open-concept cabin. Inside, these same windows that drew you in, will encourage the same gazing now, except outwardly. Tastefully designed and relaxing, you may not want to leave, though Big Bear, and Lake Arrowhead all beckon within 30 mins drive... Welcome to The Scandia 🦌
Located approximately 2 hours from Los Angeles.
This pet-friendly, open floorplan retreat, joins living room to dining bar, and dining bar to kitchen seamlessly, encouraging interaction, conversation and is ideal for hosting and entertaining.
The kitchen is fully-stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, an airfryer, a blender, and of course flatware and cutlery. There's a Keurig with K-cups for your morning coffees, including decaf options and an electric tea pot as well.
The WiFi is excellent and so therefore perfect for the WFH crowd and digital nomads alike.
The bedroom downstairs features a king-size bed with high-quality egyptian cotton linen and feather pillows (as well as hypoallergenic cotton).
The upstairs loft overlooks the common spaces below and has a queen-size bed. Behind its farmstyle closet doors is where the washer/dryer are located.
The backyard is rustically framed by draping bistro lights and equipped with a propane BBQ grill, propane firepit, small seating area, and tables for your convenience and perhaps even some al-fresco dining.
You will have full access to the entire property and all its amenities during your stay.
Beneath the spiral staircase, there's a variety of boardgames stowed away in the top drawer.
For outside activities we have cornhole as well as toboggans/snow sleds for your use should there be snow (please be careful with choice of toboggan runs/slopes and adjust for individual weight--always having someone at the bottom of the run initially to slow/stop your momentum).
We've also provided two camping cots for lazing or stargazing in the backyard (or for additional sleepers/sleeping areas inside). We just ask that you use close attention when opening and assembling them and be sure to repack it away after use.
If at any time you may have any questions or may need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out as our goal is that your stay is as pleasant as possible.

As mountain properties go, the driveway is extremely sloped and should be approached accordingly. The driveway, right out front of the property accommodates 2 cars. Additional vehicles may park on the street, but not overnight.
This cozy mountain cabin is heated by a wall heater adjacent to the front door (the thermostat is set behind the spiral staircase) and also does have the added option of a wood furnace. Portable space heaters are also available for use anywhere in the cabin and sleeping areas as well. Use caution and careful consideration for safe operation, ensuring persons and property are not in too close of a proximity.
