Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
The crisp mountain air, lush greenery, and lake vibes of Lake Arrowhead await at this beautiful retreat. Babbling Brook is a perfect example of a traditional cabin while still having all of the comforts of home. After a day of lake fun, the whole family can gather in the living area as the group's chef whips up something tasty in the full kitchen boasting a gas range and all necessary appliances. On summer evenings, step out to the deck and enjoy a relaxing time taking in the surrounding views. When days come to a close, there will be no lack of entertainment, as the free WiFi and TV in the living area will make for the perfect combination for a movie night or catching a ballgame.
Though this will feel like your own private cabin tucked in the woods in all the best ways, endless activities await you mere minutes from your front door. Make the short one-mile drive down the street for a bite to eat. Even more fun can be found at Lake Arrowhead Village, where you can easily access the lake, pop into local shops, or hop on the trail that winds along the shore. Santa's Village offers mountain biking, dining, and great activities for kids, big and small.

The property is nicely furnished, spacious and clean. It's in a great location, just minutes from a small town with restaurants and local shops. We were able to visit a few nearby lakes, local antique shops and home decor shops. It's definitely a nice getaway from the city! We'd definitely stay again!

I love how easy it was to book this property. They didn’t have crazy host fees like other cabins in the area. The home was clean and as expected if not even better than the pictures! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciate the communication from the host and easy booking process. We would gladly book here again!

Babbling brook
Cozy home and had all of the basics. Close to the Village. Not very ideal if you have smaller children but great for a small group of adults.
The place was filthy and there were rats in the pull-out bed that nested. If I can post the video I will on this site. Avoid staying here at all costs. Plus when we tried to get our booking fee back from VBRO, they refused to because of a technicality (we did not cancel the reservation on the app if you can believe something so ridiculous). VBRO is not a company to be trusted and this property was filthy.
We had a great time staying at this cabin in Lake Arrowhead. It was clean, comfortable, and in a peaceful, scenic location. The host was very responsive leading up to the stay, though we didn’t need to reach out during the trip, which is always a good sign.That said, there were a couple of small issues. The listing describes it as a 3-bedroom, but the third room is actually a pullout couch—not a traditional bed. The sheets for it didn’t seem freshly cleaned, so the first thing we had to do was run a load of laundry.Also, while the grill was a nice touch, it was missing basic tools like a grill brush, so we had to buy one ourselves.Overall, it was a solid stay and we’d book again!
It was a nice stay. Close to a number of hiking trials with beautiful views, shops and restaurants in the area. The place was large enough for four people upstairs where there are living and dining areas. The bedrooms are downstairs and just seems to be a bit too close to one another. It was not a problem for us but want to mention. Two bathrooms with good shower power and hot water pressure. The place was well cleaned. and had a number of board games to enjoy in the evening however we were not able to figure out if TV was in working condition. We did not bother the property management with that question but they were very responsive for all other inquiries we had during our stay. Internet worked great as all kitchen appliances.

Nightmare
When we arrived, the home was not cleaned.
We spent five hours doing all the laundry, vacuuming, taking out the trash and doing the dishes. Also, we went to plug in a little heater in the downstairs bedroom, it surged and a flame came out of the socket, could have been fatal. The downstairs bathtub was clogged and we had to pull out a ton of hair from the bathtub. The toilet upstairs doesn't work. The smoke detector upstairs is ripped out of the ceiling. The towel rack upstairs in the bathroom is broken. The coffee maker is from the 1970’s and doesn’t work. Not a way we wanted to spend our Christmas. Horrible to spend money on a nightmare. The furniture is so outdated, so love or thought put into this home.

Worst, run-down, uncared for home
This home had been uncared for for decades, and it showed. It’s not that it was filthy, but the couches and rugs and draperies were dirty and very old as well as the furniture. The worst part for me was the kitchen. The kitchen was fine, but they had only one spatula, no, serving spoons, no wine glasses, no steak knives, no serving utensils, and the pots and pans were ludicrously old and should’ve been thrown away. It was a very underwhelming feeling of being in a very old uncared for Home. Many things needed to be updated and replaced. On top of all that, the main TV upstairs did not work, and there was no way to take the downstairs one and move it to a safe place upstairs. We had no TV for our entire vacation. I would never recommend this home to anyone. This all should have been taken care of so that it would not have been rented. what a big big disappointment from me and my family. I was so embarrassed since I was the one that had picked it out.

Spent a week and a half up here to write and it was very productive. Great trails, nice and quiet, close to pretty good food. Would help to have a little more there to cook with. Had a fantastic time.

Snowy New Years Celebration
Our family had such a great time over the New Years weekend at Babbling Brook. There was everything we needed and plenty of space for all. Although the power went out it made it even cozier and more memorable. Plenty of snow and adventure! We will definitely book here again. Thank you and Happy New Year!!

Nice weekend getaway
This house was in a great location close to the village and SkyPark. It was clean and comfortable, and included central air and a heated bathroom floor. There’s even an entry downstairs direct to the laundry room so it’s easy to bring in suitcases, and in our case, mountain bikes. Check in was super easy and Vacasa was wonderful. Only drawback was that there were a lot of spiders downstairs where the bedrooms are at.

Blue Jay at Babbling Brook
The babbling brook and a sighting of a beautiful blue jay on the balcony were the best part of our two night stay.
We needed a working coffee machine and instead had to problem-solve for filter papers not fitting the machine. We had brought fresh salmon and salad but the kitchen had no utensils for tossing and serving a salad nor any non-stick utensils for cooking. We had to change our fitted sheet and a pillowcase because they were stained the first night so it’s good there were extra clean sheets! Cleaning crew please remove blood-stained pillowcase and whatever was on the fitted queen sheet!! Too many throw pillows throughout. Broken lamps and lampshades all over the place which should just be removed as there are ceiling lights. This place would get a four star review from me if the kitchen was better equipped, sheets were pristine and there was less clutter!!! One table is simply unusable because there is so much of the owner’s stuff on it. My advice to the management company would be to convince the owners to throw anything broken away, including used candles and decorations. Also, dining swivel chairs were extremely uncomfortable and need to be replaced.
Had a great time ! Definitely recommend this place!
