Step back in time at The Live Oak A-Frame, a lovingly preserved mid-century modern time capsule nestled perfectly between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear. This stylish cabin is your perfect romantic getaway or creative retreat, offering a unique blend of vintage charm and modern comfort. Unwind on the large deck set high up in the trees, or curl up on the couch with a mug of hot cocoa and a great book in front of the iconic Carousel fireplace.

Inside, you'll find a space curated for relaxation and fun. Spin some 60s vinyl on the record player and sound system, challenge a friend to a board game, watch a classic film, or dive into our collection of art and nature books. For those looking to stay active, we provide yoga mats, blocks, and a few free weights.

Outdoors, enjoy enjoy the many hiking trails, boating or swimming in the nearby lakes in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in the winter. Then come home to grill up dinner out on on the deck and have a nice soak in the bathtub.

Bring your fur babies for some great nature walks or frolicking in the snow. And if you have a little one, we have a pack-n-play with organic bedding and kid dishes and utensils.

Occasional road noise can be heard when outside on the front and back decks or if you have a window open.

WINTER - During snow season, November to March, you’ll need an AWD/4WD and chains are required. While only needed maybe 2-3 times during the season, if stopped you will need to show them. You can pick up a set before heading up the mountain and return if unused.

Stairs up to loft bedroom are a little steep but there is a railing for your safety. I like to go down the stairs while facing them and holding the railing. *Note that bathroom is on the main floor while the bedroom is upstairs.

Interested in extending your stay? Ask about our half-day add-on for an early arrival or late departure, subject to calendar availability.

Housekeeping services are available during your stay upon request.

If you catch some groovy shots, we'd love to see! Find us on IG @liveoakaframe.

Gorgeous Cabin

The cabin was such a beautiful getaway in Running Springs! The photos do not do it justice this cabin is stunning! There were many cooking and cleaning amenities provided by host which is always a pleasure. This property is a cabin in the woods so insects do make their way inside no matter what, there were a handful of spiderwebs in nooks and crannies of this property and some of the food provided for our stay was expired. The property is nestled in a dense neighborhood so if there are people staying on either side you would be able to hear and see them while on the back deck. The owners to the right do have dogs that bark mildly. However, for the time my boyfriend and I stayed it was a relaxing retreat and we would love to stay again in the future!
