Trinity Home LA

Lake House Luxury in the Mountains of Southern California

A pandemic passion project, this soaring lakeside chalet stands as one enterprising woman’s answer to a walk down memory lane. The home’s owner remembers the joy she felt at Lake Arrowhead as child, ice-skating and exploring the glimmering oasis set in the mountains of southern California. 

Seeking respite and recharge, she returned to the area recently, and renovated a 1970s A-frame overlooking the lake. The result is a stylish, cozy haven — a testament to cabin living of the past, with big timbers, campy waterfront views, and multiple fireplaces, but 100% modern, equipped with 21st-century creature comforts like spa amenities, a Tesla charging station, and an in-home movie theatre for supreme relaxation.

An attentively updated modern cabin, Trinity Home LA offers a serene getaway on the shores of Lake Arrowhead, a postcard-perfect oasis in the San Bernardino Mountains, a short drive, but miles away, from the hubbub of Los Angeles.

The home’s massive peaked windows give the place its distinctive chalet feel, and there are breathtaking views of the water and mountains from every picture window on the home’s four levels. The house offers something for everyone to enjoy, whether your preferred jam is indoors or out. While the surrounding lakeshores offer a mecca for recreation — fish, boat, ski, skate, hike — we love the attention that’s been put into resting and relaxing indoors. 

Families and friend groups will love gathering in the fully-equipped chef’s kitchen or around the wet bar, shooting pool and playing Pac Man, or grabbing a big screen movie experience with surround sound in the home theatre. For quieter rest, three indoor and two outdoor fireplaces invite cozying up to read, doze or take in the views, and when it’s time to turn in, selected spa amenities are on hand in the bathrooms.

Outdoor decks and dining areas with picturesque backdrops are made for lounging in warmer months, and cooler times might find you slipping into the hot tub or circling up around one of the multiple hearths. With four bedrooms in the home’s 4,000+-square feet (2 kings, 1 queen, 1 bedroom with 2 twins) this cabin rental in California offers ample space for spreading out on its four levels.

AROUND

Located in the town of Lake Arrowhead, one of six small resort communities in the San Bernardino National Forest surrounding the water, this cabin rental in California sits across the street from the lake, a quick drive from Lake Arrowhead village, with its shops, grocery stores, and recreational tour options. 

A twisting 23-mile road up from San Bernardino into the mountains lands you at Lake Arrowhead, marked by a deep blue reservoir in an area lovingly referred to as “the Alps of Southern California.” Outdoor enthusiasts have escaped to the area for years to backpack and camp, enjoy snow sports, and fish, boat, skate and/or hike. Historically a favorite haunt of Hollywood stars and a favorite set of the studios, Lake Arrowhead village is a charming resort town, with shops, dining, lodges, and plenty of forested trails surrounding it.
