Summary:

Welcome to The Den, designed by LBL Design Co.



Our cozy cabin from the 1960s has been fully renovated creating a romantic moody retreat. Features a fresh look with almond blasted ceilings that is woodsy yet modern, along with a private hot tub. Centrally located to everything you’ll want to explore in the San Bernardino Mountains.



Gather on our deck for beers and conversation. Roast gooey s’mores beneath a sky of stars. And curl up on our velvet sofa as the fireplace glows before you.



The Space:

RUNNING SPRINGS LOCATION

The Den is located in the mountain community of Running Springs, which is the best home base in the San Bernardino Mountains. Here, the mountain range is at your fingertips – from the alpine village of Lake Arrowhead (8 miles away) to Snow Valley Mountain Resort (6 miles away) where mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding and sledding abound. Nearby attractions also include: Lake Gregory, Heaps Peak Arboretum, Santa’s Village, and Snowdrift Snow Tubing Park. You can also head 17 miles east to Big Bear Lake.



In town, swing by LuLuBelles Coffee House & Bakery for their specialty coffees, small batch pastries and breakfast sandwich. And don’t miss the artisan pizzas and garlic knots at LouEddie’s Pizza. They’re that good.



DECK & YARD

Our wraparound deck welcomes you with outdoor living areas among towering pines. Sip coffee in a rocking chair, or start a new book as the breeze rustles through the trees. You can also grill up juicy steaks and veggie skewers after a day of mountain fun. The deck also has a seating area with cushioned furniture and a fire pit – perfect for the gorgeous sunsets and starry nights here on the mountain.



Soak in our private 5 seater hot tub after a long day on the slopes or post mountain hike. The hot tub is brand new with privacy in our rear fenced yard under the trees. Available year around 24 hours a day.





LIVING & KITCHEN AREAS

Our intimate living room and kitchen are cozy at every turn. Relax on our green velvet sofa, or take your pick among white armchairs and tufted leather benches. A huge picture window brings in an abundance of natural light. And French doors swing open to the deck, blurring the line between outdoors and in. As night falls, our wood-burning fireplace gives off a soft, romantic glow. Put on a movie or play a game from our collection – we have Uno, Scrabble, Cards Against Humanity and more. And yes! Fix yourself a cocktail at the bar cart (it’s BYO alcohol) as you settle in for another memorable evening.



The vaulted knotty pine ceiling in our living room extends over to the kitchen, creating an airiness in the heart of the house. On drizzly nights, you can even hear the pitter patter of the rain. The kitchen has its own soothing ambience with an iron chandelier, brass fixtures and elegant black cabinets. We love our dining table and wicker chairs that invite you to eat together, right in the kitchen. And when it comes to making delicious meals, you’ll have everything you need – from new cookware and dishware to a farmhouse sink and upscale appliances. What’s more, our coffee bar has your mornings covered: We’re happy to provide K-Cup pods and coffee grinds for the Keurig and coffee pot.



2 BEDROOMS & 1 BATHROOM

Our two bedrooms are just the place to get a good night’s sleep. Both rooms have king beds, nightstands with statement lamps, and more pine ceilings. In one bedroom, unwind on a tufted gray bed near a window. Or check email at our handsome desk. You’ll also enjoy nature artwork, a Persian-style rug and white bedding with throw pillows in here.



In the other bedroom, drift far away on a four poster canopy bed. You’ll find bedding and pillows in earthy shades of terracotta, cream and beige. Plus a comfy armchair. Watch your favorite shows on the smart TV and open the sliding glass doors for some fresh mountain air. We also provide an air mattress for a fifth guest.



The hallway bathroom has striking matte black fixtures, from the sink and mirror to the glass-enclosed shower. There’s also a soaking tub so you can relax your muscles after a day of adventuring. Leave the following toiletries at home as we provide them in a lavender-peppermint scent: Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body bar soap, lotion and hand/facial soap.
