The Lily Pond Cottage, Lake Arrowhead, CA

We arrived to lovely twinkling Christmas lights and Christmas music playing. The hot tub was also ready to go. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and bake. The dining table was great for eating, puzzling and playing games. Every room was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, BBQing in the back yard, and making smores with the firepit. My grandkids LOVED the basement playroom and spent a lot of time in there. They also loved the swing in the front yard. Nancy was very easy to communicate with and thought of everything to make our trip special! We would definitely return for another visit.

My husband and I have stayed in several vacation rentals over the past 19 years so we know what makes for a pleasant stay, and the Lily Pond Cottage rates tops among the list. Nestled in the quaint Cedar Glen area of Lake Arrowhead, the cottage offers modern amenities in a charming bed and breakfast atmosphere. The home, featuring a handicapped accessible first floor bedroom and full bathroom, has been lovingly updated with top grade materials, appliances and decor throughout, not to mention the most fully stocked kitchen and children’s playroom of any home in which we’ve ever stayed, providing hours of entertainment for our 5 and 8 year old grandchildren - there were even extra provisions for our dogs! If we ever got bored, there was a great selection of books in the living room by tge stone fireplace. We spent many an afternoon and evening relaxing on the patio, playing Scrabble on the largest board we’ve ever used, soothed by the gentle waterfall in the koi pond with an occasional invigorating dip in the hot tub. Our fur babies were always safe in the gated yards, with special grassy relief areas, although we gave leashed attention at night to safeguard against some nocturnal critters common to the lake area. The lake and village were a short drive away and our adult kids enjoyed walking the nearby trails to access those areas. Our gracious Nancy could not have been kinder or more helpful in ensuring our stay provided for our both our comfort and enjoyment.

Just got back from our family vacation at Lily Pond Cottage. Easy check in, and when we opened the door, it just felt like home. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for us. We cook many of our meals and it was so spacious and had everything we needed and room for all of us to do various preparations. The long dining table was perfect for our family style meals and playing games. I don't do stairs so the downstairs bedroom with the attached bathroom and large shower was just what I was hoping for ... and the bed was very comfy. It's in a cute neighborhood and the house stood out with the white picket fence. Nancy was a great hostess and I knew she was just a phone call away if we needed anything. She even put the ramp out for me to get onto the front porch. Having the dual A/C for upstairs and downstairs was a really nice touch too. We felt spoiled with all the special touches that were included in the house and out in the backyard. Cedar Glen is very close with a great little market and some yummy places to grab a bite. We had a wonderful getaway in your beautiful home and would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you soooo much
