Pinecone Lodge at Falcon Ridge

This modern “Yurt house” is 5 min from Lake Gregory & is surrounded by forest majestic views on 10 acres. It’s your private forest playground. Hike on the trail from the house 1/2 mile into the forest & then continue to a smaller trail that goes for miles. The views & sunsets are amazing not to mention the wildlife you may see. Relax with a glass of wine, soak in the hot tub while gazing at the stars & see the beauty of the night sky. Built in 2012, everything is new & has windows, windows, & more windows, with the forest just on the other side. The open-concept design vhigh ceilings give it a grand feel & the wood-burning stove gives it a rustic vibe. There are a few different outside spaces to relax & have coffee, or a glass of wine & be one with nature. Note: There are 2 single pull-out ottoman beds in the living room along with a futon (not shown). Guests have access to the entire property & can explore the National Forest area as well. We are here if you need us. The property is named Pinecone Lodge at Falcon Ridge because these are the largest pine cones in the world that can be found here! & standing on the edge of the ridge you will see the falcons soaring high above. Located just 5 minutes from Lake Gregory, this property is on the edge of the National Forest with incredible views of the surrounding mountains & forest, yet 5-10 minutes from downtown Crestline. It’s the perfect combination of seclusion & great access when you want to go out for dinner, to the grocery store, walk around the lake, or enjoy Lake Gregory’s activities. Just 5 minutes away is the Refresh yoga studio & 3 minutes away is Sycamore Ranch Vineyard & Winery (the local family-owned winery - plan with reservations). There is also a jeep trail nearby that will take you the back way to Silverwood Lake (14 miles). A car or bike is a great way to get around. If biking, there are hills! We have added a futon in the living room for another sleeping option. Up to 2 dogs are welcome. About the Area: Lake Arrowhead, Lake Gregory, & Big Bear Lake are recreational lakes in the Southern California San Bernardino mountains. They offer fresh crisp air, cooler weather (10-15 degrees) in the summer, & snow in the winter. They also offer a more relaxed & low-key energy “vibe” making them ideal locations for getaways to renew the mind, spirit, & body and to reconnect with family & friends. We answer frequent questions regarding the lakes & have put together some information below on what makes each location unique so it is easier to match with your specific goals for your time away. Upon booking one of our properties, you will receive more detailed information on how you can spend your time in the area. Big Bear Lake is a public lake & friendly to all types of boats & water sports & is the largest lake of the three. There is a short paved bike & walking trail that goes along the lake. Big Bear is a City & is more populated with stores, restaurants, & nightlife than the other two locations. It has more of a “desert” feel in terms of its topography. Big Bear is 26 miles up the mountain from Lake Arrowhead, Although none of our properties are in Big Bear, we recommend it for a day trip. Lake Arrowhead is a private lake & is accessible to guests staying at properties with lake rights if the owners have permitted guests to use their ALA (Arrowhead Lake Association) passes. If this is the case, the Amenity “lake access” will be checked on the listing. In our list of properties, the Gingerbread Cottage is providing lake access. With lake access, specifically, the lake trail is accessible. There is a $10 per person per day fee that is required to be paid to receive a wristband for access. More information can be found on the ALA website. Swimming is allowed from the lake trail at any location except the beach clubs (these are restricted to owners). There is no ability to launch boats or SUPs on the lake. The Village is lakefront & is the main area for shops & restaurants & has a fitness center as well. The Queen boat is a tour boat on Lake Arrowhead that provides much of the history of the town - tickets can be purchased at the shop by the lake. There is a local company that offers water skiing lessons boat tours & rentals. This area has more of a small town & alpine feel to it. The Villas area (south side of the lake) in Lake Arrowhead is cooler & gets more snow that lasts longer than the north side of the lake which gets more sun in the winter & is hotter in the summer. The Villas area is an older area with older homes & narrower streets. The Tudor House is an event center offering Sunday brunch & a variety of events. Skypark is a local attraction as well as Snow Valley for skiing for both Lake Arrowhead & Lake Gregory. Lake Arrowhead is 15 minutes up the mountain from Lake Gregory. Lake Gregory is a public lake in the town of Crestline, a small town about 20 minutes from the base of the mountain of San Bernardino. It is the closest mountain town to events & locations “down the hill”. In the past few years, the lake operations have become privately managed with significant improvements being done at the lake including the development of a water park, beach improvements, & boat, kayak, & canoe rentals. There is a fee to access the beach area & the water park & no fee to access the 2 1/2 mile trail around the lake. Fishing is allowed & more info can be found on the Lake Gregory website. Crestline has a small-town alpine feel with the lake nestled amongst the tall trees. Crestline gets less snow than the other 2 lake locations.
