About this house rental
Babbling Brook
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
The crisp mountain air, lush greenery, and lake vibes of Lake Arrowhead await at this beautiful retreat. Babbling Brook is a perfect example of a traditional cabin while still having all of the comforts of home. After a day of lake fun, the whole family can gather in the living area as the group's chef whips up something tasty in the full kitchen boasting a gas range and all necessary appliances. On summer evenings, step out to the deck and enjoy a relaxing time taking in the surrounding views. When days come to a close, there will be no lack of entertainment, as the free WiFi and TV in the living area will make for the perfect combination for a movie night or catching a ballgame.
Though this will feel like your own private cabin tucked in the woods in all the best ways, endless activities await you mere minutes from your front door. Make the short one-mile drive down the street for a bite to eat. Even more fun can be found at Lake Arrowhead Village, where you can easily access the lake, pop into local shops, or hop on the trail that winds along the shore. Santa's Village offers mountain biking, dining, and great activities for kids, big and small.

Cozy home and had all of the basics. Close to the Village. Not very ideal if you have smaller children but great for a small group of adults.

The property is nicely furnished, spacious and clean. It's in a great location, just minutes from a small town with restaurants and local shops. We were able to visit a few nearby lakes, local antique shops and home decor shops. It's definitely a nice getaway from the city! We'd definitely stay again!

I love how easy it was to book this property. They didn’t have crazy host fees like other cabins in the area. The home was clean and as expected if not even better than the pictures! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciate the communication from the host and easy booking process. We would gladly book here again!

When we arrived, the home was not cleaned.
We spent five hours doing all the laundry, vacuuming, taking out the trash and doing the dishes. Also, we went to plug in a little heater in the downstairs bedroom, it surged and a flame came out of the socket, could have been fatal. The downstairs bathtub was clogged and we had to pull out a ton of hair from the bathtub. The toilet upstairs doesn't work. The smoke detector upstairs is ripped out of the ceiling. The towel rack upstairs in the bathroom is broken. The coffee maker is from the 1970’s and doesn’t work. Not a way we wanted to spend our Christmas. Horrible to spend money on a nightmare. The furniture is so outdated, so love or thought put into this home.

Writer’s Retreat
Spent a week and a half up here to write and it was very productive. Great trails, nice and quiet, close to pretty good food. Would help to have a little more there to cook with. Had a fantastic time.

Snowy New Years Celebration
Our family had such a great time over the New Years weekend at Babbling Brook. There was everything we needed and plenty of space for all. Although the power went out it made it even cozier and more memorable. Plenty of snow and adventure! We will definitely book here again. Thank you and Happy New Year!!

This was a great place to stay for a few days; very clean, very comfortable; privacy in the woods; the staff at Vacasa were very helpful with all our questions. We loved it and would definitely stay here again.....Awesome place :)

Nice weekend getaway
This house was in a great location close to the village and SkyPark. It was clean and comfortable, and included central air and a heated bathroom floor. There’s even an entry downstairs direct to the laundry room so it’s easy to bring in suitcases, and in our case, mountain bikes. Check in was super easy and Vacasa was wonderful. Only drawback was that there were a lot of spiders downstairs where the bedrooms are at.

Blue Jay at Babbling Brook
The babbling brook and a sighting of a beautiful blue jay on the balcony were the best part of our two night stay.
We needed a working coffee machine and instead had to problem-solve for filter papers not fitting the machine. We had brought fresh salmon and salad but the kitchen had no utensils for tossing and serving a salad nor any non-stick utensils for cooking. We had to change our fitted sheet and a pillowcase because they were stained the first night so it’s good there were extra clean sheets! Cleaning crew please remove blood-stained pillowcase and whatever was on the fitted queen sheet!! Too many throw pillows throughout. Broken lamps and lampshades all over the place which should just be removed as there are ceiling lights. This place would get a four star review from me if the kitchen was better equipped, sheets were pristine and there was less clutter!!! One table is simply unusable because there is so much of the owner’s stuff on it. My advice to the management company would be to convince the owners to throw anything broken away, including used candles and decorations. Also, dining swivel chairs were extremely uncomfortable and need to be replaced.
