About this property

1970s Gambrel Cabin in the Los Padres National Forest

Located in a spectacular mountain setting just 90 miles north of Los Angeles, Pine Mountain Club is a residential community in the Los Padres National Forest. Relax & unwind while surrounded by acres of old forests that shelter an array of flora & fauna, including the rare California Condor. This cabin was one of the original homes built in PMC in 1976. Although newly updated, the 70s vibe is still alive with cork floors, shag rugs, wood paneling, an 8-track player & orange Malm fireplace.

Our 1970s chalet-style gambrel cabin is located at an altitude of 5500 feet above sea level. Both bedrooms are equipped with organic latex mattresses (queen downstairs, full upstairs) and ROKU smart TVs. There is also a TV with basic cable, a VHS player, and classic video games in the living room downstairs. Upstairs we have a projector for watching movies on a big screen. The kitchen is equipped with a full size refrigerator, oven/stove, Nespresso machine with milk frother, blender, waffle maker and fondue pot. We have board games, puzzles, records, 8-track cassettes, VHS tapes, a keyboard, and a working fireplace. Towels and linens are provided. The washer and dryer cannot be used by guests, but there is a laundromat in the village and another in Frazier Park.

Keep in mind this is not a hotel, this is a privately owned cabin in the middle of a National Forest. The water may take a little longer to heat up, the electric heaters might smell a little dusty the first time they are turned on after a long summer, spiders might rebuild their webs less than 24 hours after the space is cleaned, there may be dirt on the outdoor furniture, you might need to wear insect repellant in the summer or shovel the driveway and deck in the winter. There is no air conditioning, only floor fans. If you are looking for a luxury hotel, this is not it, but if you want a fun, comfortable getaway in the mountains, please submit a booking inquiry with some info about your group and why you chose PMC and our cabin.

NOTE:
There is an outdoor security camera on the property.
We do not have air conditioning, only fans.
The cabin is not in the middle of nowhere, we have neighbors on all sides. Please be respectful.
The wi-fi is pretty reliable but as we are in a rural area, it does go out from time to time. If you absolutely must have internet access guaranteed, this may not be the place for you.

Comfy, Dog Friendly Time Capsule

This cabin is a comfortable and beautiful "time capsule" from the 1970s. We were a couple with our well-behaved dogs and the space was incredibly easy to use and cook in over the five days we stayed. We found the first floor perfect for us that we didn't use the upstairs since we were outside enjoying walks in the neighborhood, golfing and swimming at the rec center, and watching the birds during the day and the stars at night on the deck. A note for taller guests - my husband is 6'3" and the dining chairs and queen bed were slightly smaller/less comfortable for him, but he still really enjoyed his stay. We really appreciated the quality bedding, towels, and kitchen/bath supplies. Also a small touch we loved was making fondue with the fondue pot (a first for us!).

Blast from the past, 70's style.

Clean, cute, quiet and cozy. A million miles from the city, yet just a little over an hours drive away. The owner has done a remarkable job of decorating the home with period furnishings from the 60's and 70's. Nice view of snow still on the mountains from the front deck in warm early April.
