About this property

The Getaway Chalet - 3bd, 2ba, Spacious And Nicely Furnished Home Backs To Fores

Privacy out every window in this 3 bed, 2 bath tri-level home that backs to the National Forest in quietest part of Wrightwood. Relax out back on the over-sized back deck, while you BBQ using the propane grill, and watch the kids snow play & sled down the hill. Or sit and enjoy nature from up high on the massive front deck. Inside a warm, honey wood, open beam ceiling over the great room (Kit/dining/LR) invites you to light the gas or wood burning fireplace, or flick on the Roku TV. Internet provided. Very homey and comfortable, the u-shaped seating area is perfect for family game night, and hides a double sofa bed to complement the three over-sized bedrooms. Upstairs the kids room has it’s own collection of toys, games and videos w/TV. Adjacent is the full bath and 2nd bedroom, which opens onto the private front deck. Downstairs, a large master retreat w/ bath, invites you to slip away for some private time, apart from the group. If you have a larger party, consider also renting the All Pine Inn and/or Snow Bungalow. Permit#154-CA20110030-SUP-R

Perfect getaway
Back for our second time. We love all the space, the location right up against the forest, and the coziness of the cabin for family time. The house is well stocked, beds are comfortable, lots of places to sit and relax, and a whole forest to explore. It is so quiet and serene also. Communication with the host was easy and quick. We will definitely come back (and cross our fingers for snow!).

Creating Forever Memories
Just what we were looking for to celebrate a family birthday milestone (40):) Great place for the family to relax and to gather for conversations and fun games(charades especially). Kitchen well equipped. Small children able to play in the forest and plan all sorts of adventures in their "Mountain Mansion". Beautiful memories to be cherished for years to come!

Quaint and homely
Space and accommodation was great especially as we had a baby and young child with us. The twin room for the children was a lovely surprise especially the full toy box. Like many places we have stayed in in mountainous areas of CA it is rural and rustic. It would benefit from some updating of rugs etc but that did not take away from our stay.

Rodents scratching at the walls and ceilings all night long.
It was not my intention to have to put this review here, but I tried to reach out directly to the owner(s) to let them know they had an issue and they did not respond. First, the house is cozy and in a great neighborhood. We wanted a place that had some ability to play and sled in the snow at the property, and this place fit that bill quite well. Our kids really enjoyed sledding in the backyard. The house needs some general interior updating, but that was understandable. The problem was rodents. My wife and I opted to stay in the room upstairs and to the left with the queen bed in it because it is across from the room with the two small beds for our youngest children, instead of the larger bedroom downstairs. We did not sleep much at all. There was constant noise and scratching from rodents in the ceiling and in the exterior wall. It was loud, pronounced, and clearly indicative of multiple rodents. It went on all night, and made it impossible to sleep well. We did not experience any rodents in the house, but the noise was extremely disconcerting and distracting. The second night my wife and I slept on the couches in the living room instead of the bedroom. We still went in the room to change, keep our bags, etc and the second night had just as much activity. After the first night I went outside to look at the exterior wall. It has several holes all over the portion leading to the crawl space above the room and the wall itself. There are significant scratch marks all over the exterior wall. It’s pretty clear that there is some significant number of rodents in the walls and ceiling. After we got home, I sent the owner(s) a text message letting them know about our experience to let them know the problem was distracting. After being responsive to all other communication, no one has responded days later. This problem should be addressed, and I decided to put a review here, since my guess is they know about the problem and are choosing to let it continue because the money continues to come in. 1k for 2 evenings (including the place, taxes, cleaning fees, etc) is a significant amount for folks, and this issue could ruin an otherwise good trip. This problem should be addressed immediately.

Why they chose this property

Taking the road-less-traveled (while returning from a high desert business meeting) meant encountering a sign stating that Wrightwood was seven miles – that-away. Childhood memories made turning my back on civilization a no-brainer.
One slowly rising bend led to another, as desert chaparral became turned to scrub oaks, before giving way to age old towering pines and majestic oaks. The small town charm of kids walking to school along streets with no lights was irresistible. Nestled amongst the surrounding National Forest, yet minutes to the ski resort, were homes of various distinctive character, built over the last 100 years. Being in a National Forest means houses get rebuilt, not malls constructed. What began as a great place to grow apples, is now the gateway to four seasons of sublime activities. And Wrightwood is so accessible, just an hour to the Big A.
So funds planned for investment into senior condos, instead became a labor of love - in owning and sharing the mountains as a getaway to renew the core of you. So what was once a newlywed investment, three kids later, has become a lifetime of family memories - spread across multiple homes. There is so much to see and do that’s different at elevation. People unplug, literally, and thereby recharge themselves.
But we can’t be here every week. So we take pride in maintaining and upgrading each home, to make better memories for our guests.
