Welcome to A-Frame Retreat, where modern luxury meets rustic charm in the heart of Lake Arrowhead. This impeccably renovated escape promises an unforgettable stay, blending contemporary comforts with breathtaking natural beauty, especially magical during the winter season.
Nestled just a short stroll from the iconic LouEddies Pizza and Little Bear Bottle Shop, A-Frame Retreat offers unparalleled convenience and a touch of local flavor. This 1056 sqft haven boasts two inviting bedrooms, two pristine bathrooms, and a charming loft accessed by a spiral staircase.
Step inside to discover an airy, sunlit interior where large A-frame windows highlight the surrounding winter landscape. The living room, adorned with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and plush leather sofa, invites you to unwind after ice skating at Lake Arrowhead Village, exploring snowy forest trails, or making a quick trip to nearby Snow Valley for skiing and snowboarding. The adjacent dining area and fully equipped kitchen, featuring quartz countertops and state-of-the-art appliances, ensure every meal is a delight.
Step into outdoor bliss with two inviting decks. In winter, the expansive front deck becomes a peaceful snowy perch with an al fresco BBQ dining area under a charming umbrella, complemented by a private gate leading to forest trails perfect for crisp seasonal walks. Unwind in the hammock nestled among the trees on milder days for a serene afternoon break. Adjacent to the living room, a sliding door opens to the second deck where you can relax in a swing chair, savor meals at outdoor bistro seating around a firepit, and catch glimpses of the lake through the winter foliage.
Every detail of A-Frame Retreat has been thoughtfully curated, from the newly engineered hardwood floors to the efficient mini-split AC system, ensuring a seamless blend of elegance and comfort. Three comfortable bedrooms, each with a queen bed and TV ensure a restful night of sleep.
Embrace the serenity of the surrounding landscape from your private oasis, complete with a resealed driveway and convenient parking. With its prime location just ten minutes from Lake Arrowhead Village, A-Frame Retreat is a home and an experience. This luxurious retreat captivates and enchants at every turn.

Known as “The Alps of Southern California,” the beautiful Lake Arrowhead is a well-kept secret, even from California natives. The quaint, European-style Lake Arrowhead Village makes a good place to pass your days, but visitors most often spend their time delighting in the area’s outdoor activities. Water skiing on the lake, fishing, and ATV riding are all popular pastimes in summer, while in winter, snow sports fanatics can get their fill of skiing on the local slopes. Whatever time of the year you visit, the temperate climate and numerous opportunities for adventure ensure a fun time for all.
