Cozy 2 Bedroom Cabin In Pine Mountain Club With Breathtaking View!

Ascend the stairs and enter through the Lodge's front door and you will encounter the expansive living area and be immediately greeted by a breathtaking mountain view. It consists of a fully appointed kitchen, a 6 seat dining table under a mid century chandelier, and a cozy living room centered on a stone fireplace. The space is designed to guide your eye towards the wide open views provided by the 20 foot wall of windows.

The living room features a cozy wood burning fireplace and a Roku TV with a Sonos soundbar, allowing you to watch your favorite streaming shows (using your own logins) or listen to your music via the Sonos soundbar. There are also some board games and card games for you to enjoy, or just sit out on the deck and enjoy the view. The sky at night is absolutely magnificent. There are light pollution rules in the community so it's very dark and sky is absolutely gorgeous.

The kitchen is filled with everything you need to make an amazing meal. The owners love to cook and wanted to make sure they could host dinners on top of the mountain. They also love coffee and wanted to make sure you could grind fresh roasted beans for a perfect cup of drip coffee.

The larger bedroom is furnished with a twin bunk over a queen bed. It’s perfect for kids or that extra friend that decided to come last minute. The smaller bedroom is furnished with a vintage midcentury queen bed. Both bedrooms have wide windows covered with blackout shades to keep out the bright mountain sun and let you sleep just a little while longer. Each bedroom has chargers on each side of the bed that accommodate your phone, your Apple Watch, and your AirPods and there are also USB outlets provided in the power strips on each side of the bed.

The bathroom separates the two bedrooms and is stocked with everything you need, even a hair dryer. The walk in shower has a rain head with a shower wand. It even has a heat lamp for those chilly mornings when you step out of the shower onto the lush bathmats.

Step outside the sliding glass doors and onto the generous wrap around porch to enjoy the unforgettable views. The porch has cozy seating area, perfect to enjoy the starry night sky. There is also small cafe seating area for you to enjoy your morning coffee.

What to do, what to do Mostly we come to the Midnight Ride Lodge to relax and do NOTHING. But we do love the activities the area has to offer. What you can do depends on the time of year, but during the summer, you can chill at the pool, play golf or tennis, go horseback riding, fishing on Fern's Lake, see wildlife at Bitter Creek Wildlife Refuge, and hit any of the many hiking trails (we recommend visiting the alltrails website for the best most up to date information on options). Pine Mountain Village is about an 8 minute drive and is cute to walk around, featuring cute shops. dining and the Pine Mountain General Store.

****SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING****

We're very proud of the cozy little space we've created and we hope you'll love it too. We are new to vacation rentals and value your input and feedback on our home! If you have any issues or problems during your visit (and we certainly hope you won't!), please give us an opportunity to remedy the issue rather than leaving poor feedback.

IMPORTANT: Everyone should keep a set of snow chains with them, even if you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. CHP does require that vehicles carry chains or traction control devices in order to access the mountain community roads when there is snow and ice on the ground. Cal-Trans has signs posted to notify drivers and enforce safety. It is the driver's responsibility to insure the proper installation and maintenance of tire chains or traction control devices when necessary to prevent loss of traction. Loss of traction is defined as the inability of a vehicle to stop, turn, and proceed forward or backward in a sustained, controlled manner without skidding, sliding or becoming stuck.

--DISCLOSURE--
Living in a mountain cabin is a truly unique experience, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. Nestled deep within the serene beauty of a National Forest, this is the place to unwind, recharge, and take in stunning, uninterrupted views. But it’s important to know that mountain life brings its own set of realities.

With the peace and tranquility come occasional challenges like weather delays, road closures, power or internet outages, and encounters with local wildlife, including insects and spiders. Strong winds, chilly temperatures, and sometimes patchy cell service (with Verizon being the most reliable) are part of the mountain charm. Unlike urban areas, there’s no Uber, and the local shops and restaurants typically close by 8 pm, so planning ahead is key.

Life up here may require a bit more patience and flexibility, but that’s all part of the appeal. The simple joys of cabin living, surrounded by nature’s beauty, more than make up for any minor inconveniences. We invite you to come with an open mind and an adventurous spirit—you'll find it's worth every bit of effort.

--CELL SERVICE--
Cell service can become very spotty or non-existent in the area around our home. We HIGHLY recommend you to download the map for the area to your phone before arrival so you don't have to depend on cell service. Once in our cabin though, we have lightning fast satellite internet for your use.

We offer a French press for coffee as well as a Fellow drip coffee maker that brews pour-over quality coffee with the press of a button, as well as a coffee grinder with adjustable settings. We do NOT provide coffee beans though. Although there isn't a major supermarket nearby, should you find you forgot something you want/need, the well stocked Pine Mountain General Store located in Pine Mountain Village will probably have what you need. The Village also houses some cute places to eat and drink (The Perch, Bear Claw Bakery, Bigfoot Cafe, Pine Mountain Pizza Company, La Leña Mexican Restaurant, Hungry Al's BBQ, etc)
