The Location
The home is located less than a quarter mile from downtown Wrightwood, 5 miles to Mountain High Resort, and a scenic 7 mile drive to Inspiration Point. The downtown area provides great eateries and entertainment including local shops, brewery, live music on select days, and a local farmer's market every Friday.
There is an abundance of gorgeous hiking trails perfect for either a quick stroll and a picnic, or more strenuous hikes to epic vistas overlooking the surrounding Angeles National Forest. For travelers looking to explore local Southern California the property is located only an hour and a half from well known beaches. Where else can you ski and surf in the same day?!
Guests have access to the entire house.
We are always available to be reached by phone or messaging system for any concerns or questions you may have.
The Wrightwood Chalet is located in a small residential neighborhood with close by neighbors. Due to the terrain of the neighborhood, sound is easily carried. We ask that all guests please be respectful of our neighbors. Quiet time for the property is from 9 pm - 9 am. Parties or loud activity will not be tolerated and will be subject to $1000 noise violation plus additional fines issued by San Bernardino County and termination of your stay.
**Due to the mountainous terrain of the cabin, SoCal Edison occasionally has Maintenance Power Outages during periods of expected high wind or other periods of high high fire risk weather. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.**
Our neighborhood is quiet, and mostly inhabited by locals. We welcome guests who want to experience Wrightwood like a local, including respecting quiet hours, parking and respect of wildlife and nature.
Spa maintenance is scheduled every Monday morning/early afternoon. This will occur during your stay if you are here on a Monday.
Please check the weather prior to your stay so you can be properly prepared. We are in an area that can get hot in the summer, very cold in the winter and can experience high winds. We will not issue refunds for weather issues that are out of our control.
