Cozy Skyforest Cabin ~ 1 Mi to Lake Arrowhead!

Reviews

• Serenity

  5/5

  I am a private contractor in the field of construction. Recently I had some available time to help those in Lake Arrowhead that had been impacted so adversely by the winter storms. Business takes me on the road often and in most cases I am in motels as my temporary home. I wanted to do my part in helping the community recover and support the residents as well. My days would be long and to have a place where I could relax and recharge was paramount. I love the mountains and the energy it provides. After some research I landed on this gem in Skyforest. I absolutely love this place. The vibe is so cozy, like the way comfort food makes you feel! This place has all the amenities you would expect to make your stay the best. After a long cold day, the warmth of fireplace, big comfortable bed, big screen TV, internet and full kitchen and much more that made my stay memorable...The owners have thought of everything. Many thanks to Evolve and the owners. I love this cabin and plan to return in the summer for some chill time.

• Thank you!

  We appreciate the hosts allowing us to use their beautiful cabin for our volunteers to use during such a difficult time on the mountain. Thank you Janet and Jeff we loved your place!

• Read The Fine Print. High Fees.

  2/5

  Stayed for 2 nights here with my Family and the added fees were so high they eclipsed the total nightly rate. This property is managed by Evolve. One of these fees was charged 7 days after our visit. While the place was “mostly” clean it was clear that a dog had been sleeping on beds as we all had dog hair on our clothing. The dog we brought with us doesn’t shed so it was not from our dog. The master bathroom shower had no hot water. Lastly the front porch was covered with thick ice that multiple people almost had terrible falls on. With such high fees added on you can find better places / value for the price. In the future I’d avoid Evolve managed properties. We wont be back.

  Manager's Response:

  Ben, the homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
  
  - We strive to be transparent with our guests at every stage of the booking process and do break down all rates and fees before the reservation is confirmed. We accurately note in our listing that our property is pet friendly with a fee of $75, which is visible on the listing prior to booking as well as in the pre-stay email sent to guests before arrival. We did not receive the pet fee prior to your arrival or during your stay and Evolve reached out numerous times to collect payment.
  
  - We apologize you experienced issues with the hot water in the master bathroom, as the hot water was installed backwards. We encourage guests to reach out to us while they are in residence with any issues so that we can address any concerns quickly for a most comfortable stay.
  
  - In the winter after guest checkouts, the front steps are always salted. Although we do our best to keep the outdoor area clear and safe, the rain and snow all week prior to your stay were simply out of our control. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this had on your stay.
  
  - We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

• Amazing location

  Super cute little place. I was bummed the jacuzzi tub didn’t work but it was so close to everything my family and I wanted to do. Would 100% book here again.

• Cute cabin and great location

  5/5

  We had the best time spending Thanksgiving weekend up in the mountains. The cabin was very easy to get to and find and had a huge flat driveway. There are only a couple of steps to get into the cabin, which is one of the main reasons I picked it. There was a cute welcome basket and sign in the kitchen, which was a nice touch. The master bedroom is quite large with a nice dressing area and bathroom. The other bedroom is on the opposite side of the house and has a very comfy bed. The TV/den is a nice space that has a huge TV, shuffle board and a comfy couch and chair. The kitchen was well equipped and had direct access to the backyard. It was a little cold so we didn’t really hang in the backyard, but our dogs loved it. The owners provide doggie bags which I thought was very nice. It’s only about a 5 min drive to the Village which has a handful of nice restaurants and shops. The cabin is also close enough to walk to LouEddie’s pizza and Rosalava’s Skyforest. Which we did during our stay… both were very good!! Overall the cabin was perfect for our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only thing that was a bit of a bummer were the 2 huge dogs next door, that barked every time our dogs were let outside to potty. I thought they might break through the fence. Other than that it was perfect.
