About this cabin rental



Boulder Crest is an historic 1930 cabin built on top of great boulders looking over Lake Arrowhead. The stunning, lake view deck was rebuilt in 2024. This is the mountain-cabin fantasy come true - except that it comes with new mattresses, dishwasher, washer
and dryer, chrome cookware, Wi-fi and all of the things that maintain the romance without sacrificing the comforts.

Boulder Crest occupies a triple lot, which allows for privacy,
outside recreation and parking. This beautifully
preserved cabin was featured on the Lake Arrowhead Home Tour.


The romantic interior is all wood with a large, rock fireplace. It
includes three bedrooms (two of which overlook the lake) and two bathrooms. Boulder Crest is ideal for sharing since
the “bunkroom”, which contains two double beds built into the pine walls, has its own entrance, bath and deck. There is a queen-size bed in the main bedroom; a double bed in the guest bedroom; two doubles in the bunkroom. New down comforters and pillows are included for each bed.

The kitchen is fully equipped, including an O’keefe and Merrit
stove. The refrigerator has a filtered, ice maker.
There is a barbecue on the very large deck overlooking the lake.
Wi-fi, Cable TV, VCR, CD player,coffee maker, microwave, washer and dryer are also included. There are two thermostat-controlled furnaces.


The cabin, which is within walking distance to Arrowhead Village,
also comes with a pass to access our dock for fishing and swimming and to the trails around the lake.

Check in time is 4pm and Check out time is 11am, unless otherwise agreed upon. The minimum stay during the week is 3 days. Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving rent only by the week.

Before you book a few things to consider. This cabin is not for everyone. It is very old, magical and charming but it is not a resort, does not come with hot tubs, concierge services, and a lot of the luxury touches that you will find some, particularly modern places in the mountains . Writers have gotten Emmy awards and an Oscar nomination for the work they have done here, but they still had to go down the outside stairs to the bunk room to take a shower because the upstairs bath has only a tub. They had to supply their own firewood, and live with a 50" TV.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It’s a cute and cozy cottage with beautiful views from the balcony. Lots of laughs had round the roaring fire.

This was a perfect location for a girlfriend getaway- A quaint old cabin on the mountain built straight into rocks. Fully stocked with anything you might need for cooking, sleeping, relaxing or or just hanging out with gorgeous lake views sunrise to sunset! Host is super easy to contact and very accommodating- Thanks so much!

Boulder Crest is a fantastic place. It is so full of history and charm, with something new discovered at every turn. The house is so comfortable that we felt like we were home within 10 minutes of being in the place. After rain the first night, the weather turned completely, and was beautiful for the rest of our stay. The lake sparkled, and we even saw a bald eagle gliding near the shore. The house comfortably accommodated the 6 adults and 1 infant that we were. Large leather sofa, love seat and chairs made for a very cozy setting around the beautiful stone fireplace. At the same time, privacy was never an issue. The deck is incredible. It is very large, with plenty of seating, and the view of the lake and surrounding mountains is spectacular. It doesn't get any better! The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans and utensils. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and found everything we needed to get the job done. Boulder Crest is conveniently located; within easy walking distance to Jensen's Market, and a short drive to Lake Arrowhead Village. We had a truly memorable week at Boulder Crest, and will DEFINITELY be returning in the future.
