Bugsy’s Hideout | Intrigue |Romance | Historic

This former Bugsy Siegel hunting cabin is nestled in the trees. The style is rustic/modern with lots of light & high ceilings. Take the Bugsy Challenge, find the safe, decipher the clues, & uncover a special gift.

Everything has been upgraded in this renovated 1926 cottage. Secluded & minutes from the famous Tudor House, the famous gathering spot of Bugsy and his gang in the days of prohibition.

At better than hotel rates, the cottage provides an experience not to forget with amenities including a full kitchen, a relaxing outdoor patio space and best of all, privacy. The cottage is set up as a studio downstairs with the very comfy queen bed tucked away in it’s own nook (pictures coming). The house has been expanded since the photos were taken and we will be posting new photos soon of the new bedroom nook. The other sleeping area is upstairs in the loft and it is an open loft. It was designed this way to keep it open and airy. Note: We have gotten feedback that it may be a little tight for 4 adults, and we have made a few modifications to create more space and at the same time have gotten very positive feedback for couples with kids. Take the Bugsy Challenge! This is your chance to try out tiny house living!

This mountain area has narrow windy roads. There is one set of stairs from the parking area to the house. The house is a Duplex with the 2nd unit in the rear of the property.

We are always available by phone, text, or e-mail for our guests.

The Bugsy cabin is in Lake Arrowhead, it is in the mountains at about 5,500 feet.

The main highlight for this time of year is the cooler weather and clean air. The temperature will be approximately 15 degrees cooler than down the mountain. It is incredibly beautiful and peaceful with lots of trees. It is more of a small town feel with narrow roads in the Villas where the cottage is located.

There is Arrowhead Village that sits on the lake. There are shops and restaurants at the Village and the Arrowhead Resort and Spa is close by.

The Tudor house is nearby and if you search around you can read more about Bugsy's former gathering place where there is entertainment weekly and they have an excellent brunch - please check the status due to COVID-19.

The other unique thing about Lake Arrowhead is that the people are incredibly friendly and down to earth. It is like being transported back in time.

Big Bear is another 20 minutes up the mountain and it has a larger public lake and has more clubs and nightlife. There is a huge mountain biking venue at the ski resort where you take the lift with your bike and bike around and then bike down with incredible views.

The living room is equipped with a Smart TV, great for movies from your favorite service provider (Netflix, Amazon, etc.). The living room contains a Murphy Bed in the photo and we are in the process of expanding the bedroom space and it will be a regular Queen bed - photos coming soon.

The house is a duplex with the second unit behind the house.
We will provide bi-weekly cleaning at the price quoted, or there is an option to self-clean with a refundable cleaning deposit of $350.

For 28+ nights stay, the refundable damage deposit is $100, the refundable cleaning deposit is $350, and the refundable animal deposit if more than one approved dog is $500.

For stays 28 nights or longer, the cleaning fee is $175. The difference between this fee and the initial cleaning fee paid upon booking will be collected along with the deposits before check-in.

- 45-day cancellation policy
- Age minimum of 25
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be close to Lake Arrowhead Village. A kitchen and a fireplace are available in the cabin.

We left after the 1st night.

Delightful stay in a safe environment
This adorable little cabin had everything we needed- plus. Appreciated commitment by owner/ staff to do all they could to provide a safe environment. Traveling during COVID can be scary- and these folks had a plan in place to address. We grilled some awesome birthday steaks here! :-)

Winter Getaway
We went up looking for a quiet getaway and to get the sense of being in the mountains and this did not disappoint. The cabin is surrounded by large trees in a cute neighborhood that was great for taking our dog on walks and breathing the fresh air. The cabin itself was warm and cozy with all the amenities you need to still feel at home. From the personalized greeting written to us upon arrival to the doggy blankets they provided that my dog curled up in at night we felt welcomed and at home. My wife and I enjoy the close proximity to the hiking trails and shopping in downtown lake Arrowhead which is just a short drive away. We look forward to coming back to Lake Arrowhead and will definitely be booking the Bugsy Cabin when we do.

False advertising of cottage. Horrible experience!
This is what I replied to email from owner: Good afternoon, I am going to be very honest that our stay was HORRIBLE!!! First off, you guys falsely advertise what that "cottage" actually is. The pictures that you display look nothing like what the cabin is. It DOES NOT fit four people. You advertise 1 bedroom, and theres not. Its a SMALL studio w a loft. SMALL is an understatement!!! We could barely move in there, and the murphy and loft beds were sooooooo uncomfortable. Nobody got to sleep well at all. My son had to sleep on kitchen floor cuz no room!!. It was the worst location and experience we ever had!! We had no time to get ready for the wedding, cuz we drove around forever looking for it...only to find out we passed it NUMEROUS times cuz your truck was blocking the cottage and ADDRESS!! Then, you werent even nice about it. I will definitely NOT give a good review. We couldve stayed in a hotel room that my dad stayed in that was MUCH bigger and better, and he paid less than I did. Im sorry, but this was a rip off, and you should really be ashamed for scamming ppl into paying that much for something not worth it. What is advertised on the VRBO is NOT what the cottage looks like at all! It looked like an outdoor shed that maybe 2 ppl could move around in. Sorry, but this was my first exp w VRBO and it was horrible!!!

Quick Stay
The cabin is small but well laid out; with a fully appointed kitchen (a big plus). Our visit was just a quick overnight stay for a wedding, therefore we really did not have the opportunity to enjoy the property fully. Beware the streets are not clearly marked, very narrow and steep. Not for the novice or the old .... ;)

The property was cute. Smaller than it appeared in the photo, but that was fine as it was just two of us. Really disappointed with the owner. Said she was available and then wouldn’t respond. Asked for a 5 start review and wasn’t very helpful. Didn’t go out of her way to make the experience better. Wanted to charge $20 per extra hour if we wanted to check in early or late. $35 if we didn’t notify her. $10 if you get make up on a towel. It’s been a week and I still haven’t gotten back my deposit.

Tiny house living with all the amenities
The property did not dissappoint. To access the murphy bed was easy. Would love to know where you bought the sofa and murphy bed very comforable. The kitchen had lots of room and items for cooking (toaster ovens great). I do wish there was some " K cup coffee pods" to use in the Keurig, as I must have misunderstood when I asked about a "coffee pot" I brought ground coffee and there was not the adapter. Thx

Not at all as represented in the photo
There was no lake pass as was represented. I hope we don’t get penalized for it not being there. Couldn’t get ahold of the owner because her mailbox was full. Closely packed cabins so we couldn’t walk the dog. Only one wine glass! We ended up not staying the night.

Cute and tiny.
We had our grandchildren come to visit with their parents. That totaled 6 adults and 7 grandkids. We did not have an oven outside of the toaster oven provided and we had hauled up the mountain a 12 lb. standing rib roast for my birthday dinner with the family. Never fear, we purchased a turkey roaster at the local hardware store and all enjoyed a beautiful roast with all the sides and birthday cake picnic style on the living room floor. The snow arrived in time for the children to play outside most of the day. They all enjoyed the tiny cabin and the close quarters that inspired conversation and ingenuity. The grandkids loved “cracking” the safe and discovering treasure.

Fun, Cozy Cottage with some history
My wife and I came here for our anniversary weekend and we had a wonderful time at this cottage! It was very cozy and the heater warmed the place up very quickly. They really used the square footage of the cottage very well. We never felt cramped. The Murphy Bed was very comfortable. This place also had a loft with an extra bed that we thought was very neat. All the amenities worked well and suited our needs. It's not too far from the village and shops in Lake Arrowhead. We also loved the history of this cottage and found it very interesting that it was once owned by Bugsy Siegel. They even included a fun game where you can open a safe and obtain a prize. My wife and I loved that nice little touch. Overall, we highly recommend this cottage. A great place that's not too expensive for a nice weekend getaway.
