About this property

The Magical Bird House overlooks Emerald Bay and enjoys soaring views to the mountains beyond. We refer to our intimate cabin, tucked up among the treetops as "The Bird House" due to its abundance of visiting birds and wildlife. The home is furnished with contemporary pieces yet remains true to its cozy cabin feel with plush blankets and rustic artwork. The Outdoor Bubble allows guests to enjoy the natural beauty of the mountains, lake and wildlife while staying cozy and warm inside. Guests tell us they have never experienced anything like this and have named the spectacle "Snow White's Magical Kingdom." It truly is beyond explanation. Arrowhead Village is a 5-minute drive, or if you prefer a beautiful 2 mile walk along the maintained Arrowhead Lake streets and trails. The Bird House offers interest for everyone of all ages. Those who wish to lounge with morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, may sit in the Bubble and take in the changing scenery as the sunrise and sunset color the distant mountains. The younger crowd who will spend hours playing with the custom-made doll’s house or having epic NERF battles with more than a dozen NERF guns and hundreds of rounds of “amo” which are kept outside in the “NERF BUNKER.” Our goal is that guests will feel completely at home and create lasting memories in our private little piece of heaven.

The driveway to our cabin is very steep. If you drive up the driveway, there is parking right at the house, but if you decided not to use the driveway, thera are about 85 stairs to the house. Once up the stairs, the beautiful deck and views will make up for the trek. Most original Lake Arrowhead homes are built up on the hills to allow for better views of the majestic landscapes. We want to make sure our guests know ahead of time about the driveway and stairs to make sure that works for them and their family.

Dogs are welcome and there is a $125 extra non-refundable fee.

Welcome to the Bird House.

Amazing place, plan for the drive way

The house is absolutely lovely. Super easy to get in touch with the host for any and all issues that may come up. Only thing id say is the Drive way is no joke. If you have a 4 W drive youll make it up no problem. I drive a 2WD pick up truck and made it up with out too much trouble. Overall, lovely place. 10/10,would recommend

cozy cabin

We had a great time celebrating Xmas and playing in the snow while staying at the cabin. We had 5 adults and 2 children - enough room but definitely cozy. The outside bubble adds a lot! Until it gets too cold. We couldn't keep it warm enough to use once the temperature dropped to the 30s. The cabin has everything - beds are comfortable - kitchen is small but adequate. Bring slippers in the winter because the windows are single-paned so there's a chill. The only challenge is the driveway and it is intense! I thought people were exaggerating but we did a measurement and figured it's about a 25 degree drive! I put my big girl panties on and drove up to unload but didn't attempt it again. Once it snowed - no way! So, we got our exercise with the stairs!

Clean, beautiful house

My family and I stayed at this property and overall we had a great time! House was very clean and well decorated. The Bubble was awesome and where we spent lots of our time because you can be outside and see nature but while still being warm and cozy by a fire and heated blankets. They definitely thought of the little things to make that space over the top. Big downfall of this house is the VERY VERY STEEP driveway. We were not able to make it up so had to park at the bottom and make several trips up and down the 100 stairs which was very strenuous and exhausting. If you are traveling with older people I would not recommend this house. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay here!

Why they chose this property

Of all of the cabins in Lake Arrowhead, The Bird House is special. Its location high in the trees above the lake allows for the rare view of both mountains and Emerald Bay. It also sits apart from other homes around the lake so it feels very private. The experience of sitting outside in the Outdoor Bubble cannot be explained. Birds, squirls, chimpmunks and all sorts of wildlife forage and frolick just a few feet from you, but they aren't frightened because they somehow know you can't reach them from the Bubble. You and your family sit in a sort of reverse snow globe, cozy by the electric fireplace and snuggled with electric blankets to keep you warm even as the temperature outside drops below freezing.
There is a tent stocked with NERF guns and equipment for epic hide and seek battles as well as a custom made doll house with all of the furniture. Games for all ages as well as the lake across the street and moutain trails less than 2 miles away.

What makes this property unique

The Bird House is a mountain cabin with contempory elegant decor that offers a retreat from the ordinary. Guests are raving about their experience with the most comment sentiment being, "The only thing wrong with the Bird House is that we had to leave it!"

Separate social areas allow adults and younger guests to have their own space. The Bubble with wine bar, electric fireplace, and views of Emerald Bay to the mountains can comfortably seat 7 guests,. The fire table seating area with views of the lake seats 6 and is perfect for roasting marshmallows!
