Snow Bunny Cottage is your mountain basecamp for crisp air, forest trails, and lake days — without giving up the comforts of home. Perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and framed by tall pines, this cozy, fully furnished hideaway offers peace, privacy, and plenty of charm. Just a short stroll brings you to the private shores of Green Valley Lake and the San Bernardino National Forest. In warmer months, cast a fishing line or hit nearby hiking and biking trails. Come winter, the area transforms into a snow-dusted wonderland, with Snow Valley Ski Resort only minutes away. Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead are also close for even more adventure. After a day outdoors, unwind on the spacious deck under twinkling string lights. Grill up dinner (BBQ provided) and watch the moon rise through the trees. Please note: campfires are not allowed at the property for safety, but you’ll still find plenty of ways to enjoy the evenings. Inside, you’ll find high-speed internet for remote work or trip planning, a 55" TV with cable for cozy movie nights, and a welcoming fireplace for chilly evenings (bring your own firewood). We love pets and happily welcome approved four-legged guests — because adventures are better with your trail buddy by your side. This cabin is also our personal seasonal home, so it’s cared for with love and attention. We ask that you treat it — and our friendly neighbors — with the same respect. Please review and agree to our house rules before booking so everyone enjoys their time here. Come breathe the fresh air, explore the trails, and discover why Snow Bunny Cottage is a hidden gem in every season!

Weekend Trip to The Engels Nest Fall Leaves!

The cabin is so cute and easy to find/access! It was less than a 5 minute drive from the lake and there were lots of trails nearby. The trails were a bit tricky to navigate with little signage so we didn't venture too far but the views were still great. I would recommend bringing essentials (shampoo, body wash, coffee) but the cabin had pots, pans, toaster, dishes, etc. I would definitely recommend this cabin for a relaxing slow paced weekend away!

Weekend Trip to The Engels Nest Fall Leaves!

We had the most wonderful time staying at this beautiful cabin, was very hard to leave! Really did feel like home, so cozy and comfortable. Just a few minutes from some very special spots, such as inspiration point where you can witness a truly spectacular sunset, also the very cool Black Dog Social Club, had a lovely time listening to live music there, sipping on a beer overlooking the lake… just perfect. Thank you to Jodi and family for opening up this unique and beautiful home, we’ll be back! You should book to stay here, you won’t regret it.
