Lake Arrowhead Cabin | Bootlegger's Run

2 Bedroom Cabin in Lake Arrowhead

Legend has it that the 1924 cabin was built as a hide out for a bootlegger by the name Worthington Squint. This scoundral allegedly ran liquor during prohibition suppling many locals, restaurants, clubs and visitors with the illegal hard stuff. Many Hollywood stars would visit Lake Arrowhead in the day. Some even claim that Jack Benny would drive up to vacation in Lake Arrowhead, party at the lake and then fill his "second gas tank" with the high-quality "white Lightening".
Today, refurbished in 2021, this cozy private cabin sits on the remote exclusive South-East side of Lake Arrowhead, ready to receive guests for the next 100 years. With the property being "off-the-grid", a guest is well rewarded with ultimate privacy and seclusion. Behind the stone wall, 1000 sf of gated deck space was added for outdoor entertaining and enjoyment of the year round hot tub spa, BBQ, and fire pit. From the upper deck, you will see one of the best views of the lake and sunsets. Not to mention the beautiful changing of color in the maple trees in fall.
The architect owner included many design details such as a rustic tin ceiling, farm sink and modern industrial light fixtues. It is decorated with local mountain art, photographs and antiques. Daydream from the copper claw foot tub as you enjoy the view of the lake or canopy of trees through the large skylight above. Perfect for a romantic get-away.
In the warmer months, there is also a private outdoor cedar shower to enjoy. Snuggle up by the original stone fireplace and oak tree trunk mantle, originally cut on the property when the cabin was built. A family and their furry friend, wishing to relax and get away from it all, would feel right at home. Pet friendly.
Our motto? You will not be found, unless you want to be found!
We respect our neighbors and the peace and serenity of our mountain. If you are looking for a party house, this is not one for you. Repeating. Loud music, conversation and excessive smoking on the deck are prohibited. Normal levels of conversation and music are acceptable of course. We remotely monitor sound on our deck with a meter. Two violations of this rule and the reservation will be cancelled.

Summary: We've rented cabins in the Arrowhead/Big Bear area for over five years, but this one truly stood out as the best. It felt like staying at a beloved family member's home—warm, inviting, and thoughtfully curated with cozy rustic decor in soft neutrals, natural wood accents, and elegant touches throughout.The amenities were exceptional: high-quality lavender-eucalyptus soaps and lotions in every bathroom and kitchen, plentiful fluffy towels, plush bedding on king/queen beds, spa-like showers with rainfall heads, and thoughtful extras like travel-sized essentials. The availability of propane tanks for the grill, fire pit, and heaters was another great aspect, making outdoor evenings effortless and magical under string lights.As a family of four with our pet, we loved the added pet amenities—feeding bowls and dog beds throughout the house—plus plenty of safe space to roam.The private, wooded location was perfect: serene yet close to the village, with stunning views and peaceful mornings on the wraparound deck. The host was responsive, friendly, and provided clear instructions and a helpful guide.We stayed six days and hated to leave—this soul-restoring sanctuary perfectly blends modern comfort with nature's beauty. Highly recommend!

Carl S. Nov 25, 2025 05:23:14 AM
Summary: The host and the cabin are excellent, as advertised. The view is terrific and you can see Lake Arrowhead from several areas on the deck.

Summary: Just a great place to stay in all respects!
Kyle C. Oct 21, 2025 06:50:14 AM
Summary: Location is fantastic, just minutes from the village. Cabin amenities were thoughtful. Cabin layout is perfect for the amount of guests allowed. I only wish there was ONE larger tv somewhere within the cabin - for those of us who enjoy watching sports.My only two complaints: 1) Bed sheets smelled like mildew - we rewashed them ourselves the day after our arrival.2) We recived a noise complaint from a neighbor at 3PM on a sunny Saturday which I thought was quite ridiculous. Seemingly, the neighbors are used to guests making visits based solely on "serenity". Well, it was my 38th birthday, and my group was more than respectful of the surrounding neighbors. Especially in the evenings.

Summary: Very clean and wonderful place to stay!
Michael D. Aug 21, 2025 07:03:25 AM

Becky J. Aug 19, 2025 03:21:56 AM
Summary: We enjoyed a peaceful long weekend at Bootlegger's Run. The house is as described. Check in, check out and communication was all very easy. Wi-fi worked well for a zoom call. All of the supplies were available in the kitchen to cook meals. I appreciated the starter set up Keurig pods. We enjoyed the outdoor shower too! The house is close to everything we wanted...Lake Arrowhead Village, Blue Jay, Cedar Glen. Everything about the house is easy and comfortable. Thank you for a great place to stay!

Summary: This amazing property is clean and well maintained! The views of the lake from the deck are incredible, and the sunsets are magical. We spent our nights enjoying the fire pit and jacuzzi. The kitchen was easy to use and well stocked with all the dishes and cookware we needed. Close to Arrowhead Village but quiet and serene! Overall an amazing stay
