The mountains north of San Bernardino and the lakes tucked into the valleys there have lured refugees from Los Angeles for decades. The cool, dry mountain air at more than 5,000 feet elevation and shady hillsides of pine and cypress trees are a welcome relief from smog and heat.
This cabin is near the western edge of the area, an easy 90-minute drive from central L.A.. It's walking distance from Lake Gregory and from the shops and restaurants of Crestline.
The charming cabin is roomy, about 1,400 square feet, and its layout affords residents privacy with the guest room on the first floor and the master suite on the second. Visitors here can boat, fish, hike and enjoy great mountain bikes. In winter, there's plenty of good skiing.
