Romantic A-Frame Cabin | Hot Tub, Boulders, Hiking

FEATURED IN:
★ DWELL MAGAZINE - JULY 2024 ★
★ MOUNTAIN LIVING - JAN 2025 ★
★ SAN DIEGO MAGAZINE 2026 HOME + DESIGN AWARDS ★


Nestled perfectly between Lake Arrowhead and majestic Big Bear Lake, this historic A-Frame was the pioneering vision in the mid-50s of a local high school woodshop teacher who, with his family, laid each beam by hand. As the area's first A-Frame, it's not just a stay but a storied experience—romance and mountain sophistication intertwined in a setting so breathtaking, it appears lifted straight from a design magazine.

● ROMANTIC RETREAT: Ideal for couples seeking a secluded getaway or a small family desiring an intimate escape. Every corner whispers romance, making it your perfect haven for creating lasting memories.

● DESIGNER ELEGANCE: Immerse yourself in an environment where luxury meets style. Furnished with exquisite pieces from renowned brands like Restoration Hardware, Arhaus, Rove Concepts, and HD Buttercup, we've crafted a space that's as beautiful as it is comfortable. Sleep in the lap of luxury with our high-end linen bedding from Quince and experience unparalleled comfort on a Helix Elite mattress. Enjoy a spa-like experience in our fully-renovated, spa-like bathroom with bath towels from Brooklinen.

● BREATHTAKING AMBIANCE: Unwind in a cedar hot tub nestled among natural boulders, offering a unique blend of rustic charm and modern luxury. Indoors, a classic, stylish gas fireplace sets the perfect mood for cozy evenings.

● ENTERTAINMENT & COMFORT: Stay entertained with a 55" Samsung Frame TV, high-speed WiFi, and a selection of classic board games. Enjoy rich espresso and coffee from our Nespresso Vertuo machine, and charge your phone wirelessly at your bedside with our cleverly disguised vintage book charger.

● ADVENTURE AWAITS: Step outside to explore the stunning surroundings. Hiking trails lead you through granite boulders to the picturesque Arrowbear Lake. Adventure lovers will appreciate our proximity to Snow Valley, sledding spots, Running Springs, SkyPark at Santa's Village, Lake Arrowhead, and Big Bear Lake.

● FORGET THE CONVENTIONAL: This cabin transcends the typical glamping or mountain stay, offering an ambiance more akin to a romantic speakeasy than your grandpa's cabin. It's a special place where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to ensure your stay is nothing short of extraordinary.

Join us at Arrowbear Lake, where luxury, romance, and adventure intertwine, creating the perfect backdrop for a getaway you'll reminisce about for years to come.

"My husband & I had an amazing time staying at Romantic A-Frame Cabin! Everything was exactly how you would picture a romantic trip being with your significant other... The serenity & peacefulness was unbeatable! Coming from the city, this trip was a breath of fresh air. Truly. Hosts were polite & respectful, the scenery was amazing, and all the amenities were a great plus! All in all, a lovely time. Would highly recommend to everyone!" - Amy

"We loved our stay at tiny frame! The space is very cozy and the decor is well thought out and chic. Every item you can possibly think of was available in the tiny frame from kitchen tools to home accessories and even board games- more than any other Airbnb we have stayed in. The fire place, hot tub and a-frame among the trees and boulders were the icing on the cake. Great location to visit big bear and arrowhead. Brent and Jackie are top notch hosts!" - Natalie

"Truly one of the best Airbnbs I have ever rented! The Tiny Triangle is a gorgeous cabin with beautiful artistic details and with all items needed. The kitchen was wonderfully done and with all the utensils you could need, all of which were high quality. Brent was a great host, quickly responds and looks out for you in terms of weather or settling in and more! Absolutely would rent again." - Priscilla

The cabin is located directly off Highway 18, up a steep private drive. Some road noise can be heard on the front and back decks. It sits on a 3,000 sq ft lot with part-time neighbors visible to the left and right.

Nestled in the heart of the San Bernardino Mountains, Arrowbear Lake, CA, is a picturesque and serene mountain community, perfectly situated halfway between the vibrant destinations of Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake. This hidden gem offers a tranquil escape, blending the peacefulness of a small mountain town with convenient access to the diverse attractions and activities of its famous neighbors. Ideal for nature lovers, Arrowbear is surrounded by lush forests, providing opportunities for hiking, fishing, and skiing at nearby Snow Valley Resort. Its location is a gateway to the natural beauty of the San Bernardino National Forest, making it a perfect base to enjoy the best of both worlds in Southern California’s mountainous splendor.

A car will be needed, there is no sidewalk, shoulder, or bike lane.

We think the most important part of any vacation is being able to settle into a place that is not only beautiful and inspiring but also comfortable. We wanted to curate a mountain cabin experience that was luxurious yet cozy.

That's why our bed is awesome - Helix's best mattress, the "Midnight Elite." It's why we have down comforters, down pillows, and luxury cotton bedding from Quince.

We think bathrooms should feel elegant and intimate. It's why we picked the softest Brooklinen towels we could find. Restoration Hardware lighting that sets a mood and brass fixtures imported from Morocco showcase the bespoke zellige tile.

We think you will fall hard for the Tiny Triangle but if you're not instantly infatuated let us know and we will make it right.
