The neighborhood is quiet & peaceful, yet walking distance to the village for shopping, restaurants, and activities. Nearby trails are great for hiking or taking a quiet stroll and the area has plenty of wildlife.

Stroll a few minutes down the street to explore Lake Arrowhead Village which offers shopping, dining and year-round entertainment. Browse the stores and shops, eat and drink at waterside restaurants, then jump aboard the Lake Arrowhead Queen to learn the history of the lake and explore the region from the water; where you’ll enjoy a unique perspective of the lake and magnificent lakeside homes.

Bringing the family? The kids will love games and rides at Lollipop Park.

Mountain Transit (MARTA buses) serves the San Bernardino Mountain communities of Crestline, Lake Arrowhead, Running Springs, and Big Bear Lake. You can catch a MARTA bus at the Village.

Owl’s Nest is great for families, but please keep an extra eye on infants and small children. We want to make sure the little darlings are safe and sound. There are steep stairs everywhere (it’s the mountains) and the house is not “baby proofed”.

Very nice cabin.
We stayed over President’s weekend. Cabin was nice and roomy with four bedrooms, one having bunk beds. House was clean and kitchen well stocked. Was amazed how close it was to the village. We walked to it on one of the days. Looking forward to coming back to see a concert at the village and would stay here again. Great communications with owner.

Looooove the Owl’s Nest!!
We had an amazing long weekend at the Owl’s Nest! It was my daughter’s fourth birthday and she wanted to see the snow so we made it happen! The house was exactly as described. Three stories with all well accommodated. Amazing location with a view of the lake. Parking for two cars. The basement was the spot to hang out as we watched playoff football, utilized the foosball table, and played board games. We’re definitely coming back!

Perfect location, close to Arrowhead Village
This was the perfect house for our family as our niece was getting married at Skypark. It's within walking distance of Arrowhead Village and the resort. Russ was available by phone to answer questions when we had them. The only issue we had was with the upstairs shower...it could go from ice cold to extremely hot. Since we had 7 adults, it didn't impact us much. Would definitely stay at the Owl's Nest again!

About the host

Hosted by Russ McGregor

Host profile image
Our family began coming up to the lake in 2006 to look for vacation property. Once we found and purchased this property, we spent many weekends at the lake, by ourselves and with friends. We enjoy the lake as a family, but as the kids are getting older, we've decided to share our home away from home with other families to create their own memories at the lake.

Why they chose this property

Lake Arrowhead is very close to our home, yet we always feel that we're far away on vacation when we're at the lake. We enjoyed coming to the lake with friends and extended family and have done so for years. The house has 3 levels, so there is room for small groups to have separate activities. The kids can enjoy watching movies or playing games downstairs, while the adults can enjoy ourselves on the deck or out on the patio.

What makes this property unique

When we bought the cabin 11 years ago, it was a true mountain cabin that had been partially converted as a live-above office by a previous owner. While we loved the location and roomy feel of the 3 story 'cabin', we felt it required a refresh to make it our home.

While we have updated some elements of the house with newer fixtures and appliances, we have tried to keep much of the original Mid-Century character of the home. The main floor bathroom still has the original 'Ming Green' fixtures from 1963, and most of the original tongue and groove woodwork has been intact. We furnished the rooms with teak items appropriate for the era, and some furniture that we built ourselves. Like all labors of love, our lake home in a work in progress. We still have more to do, and we invite and welcome ideas for future projects.

We truly hope our guests enjoy our 'restofied' mountain getaway as much as we do.
