Lake Arrowhead Cabin | Bootlegger's Run

2 Bedroom Cabin in Lake Arrowhead

Legend has it that the 1924 cabin was built as a hide out for a bootlegger by the name Worthington Squint. This scoundral allegedly ran liquor during prohibition suppling many locals, restaurants, clubs and visitors with the illegal hard stuff. Many Hollywood stars would visit Lake Arrowhead in the day. Some even claim that Jack Benny would drive up to vacation in Lake Arrowhead, party at the lake and then fill his "second gas tank" with the high-quality "white Lightening".
Today, refurbished in 2021, this cozy private cabin sits on the remote exclusive South-East side of Lake Arrowhead, ready to receive guests for the next 100 years. With the property being "off-the-grid", a guest is well rewarded with ultimate privacy and seclusion. Behind the stone wall, 1000 sf of gated deck space was added for outdoor entertaining and enjoyment of the year round hot tub spa, BBQ, and fire pit. From the upper deck, you will see one of the best views of the lake and sunsets. Not to mention the beautiful changing of color in the maple trees in fall.
The architect owner included many design details such as a rustic tin ceiling, farm sink and modern industrial light fixtues. It is decorated with local mountain art, photographs and antiques. Daydream from the copper claw foot tub as you enjoy the view of the lake or canopy of trees through the large skylight above. Perfect for a romantic get-away.
In the warmer months, there is also a private outdoor cedar shower to enjoy. Snuggle up by the original stone fireplace and oak tree trunk mantle, originally cut on the property when the cabin was built. A family and their furry friend, wishing to relax and get away from it all, would feel right at home. Pet friendly.
Our motto? You will not be found, unless you want to be found!
We respect our neighbors and the peace and serenity of our mountain. If you are looking for a party house, this is not one for you. Repeating. Loud music, conversation and excessive smoking on the deck are prohibited. Normal levels of conversation and music are acceptable of course. We remotely monitor sound on our deck with a meter. Two violations of this rule and the reservation will be cancelled.

Summary: Location is fantastic, just minutes from the village. Cabin amenities were thoughtful. Cabin layout is perfect for the amount of guests allowed. I only wish there was ONE larger tv somewhere within the cabin - for those of us who enjoy watching sports.My only two complaints: 1) Bed sheets smelled like mildew - we rewashed them ourselves the day after our arrival.2) We recived a noise complaint from a neighbor at 3PM on a sunny Saturday which I thought was quite ridiculous. Seemingly, the neighbors are used to guests making visits based solely on "serenity". Well, it was my 38th birthday, and my group was more than respectful of the surrounding neighbors. Especially in the evenings.
