The Love Shack
3. The Love Shack
20mi from Big Bear Lake · 1 site
Small home, big views, and a serene environment. Bring your beloved for a romantic getaway or make it a solo escape to reset or simply be. Far enough from town to make you wonder where you are, but close enough to drive to Morongo Casino for a spa day or dinner, or head to Palm Springs for the tram and shopping. Or just stay put and enjoy the peace and quiet, listening for the occasional train whistle drifting up the canyon, a hooting barn owl, or a howling coyote.
Totally outfitted for modern living: an indoor/outdoor shower, enough kitchen gadgets to get you by, a cozy full-size bed, and — most importantly — a coffee maker.
There is a main house on the property a good distance away, and your privacy is completely respected.
The property used to be a peach-packing farm long ago, and before that, the Pass Cahuilla Native Americans inhabited the land.
There are also RV hookups right next to the pod if you’d like to bring yours, allowing space for up to four people.
Please — absolutely no fires.

Weekend Trip to Fort Bailey Private Desert Estate
Our stay at the Green House in Piñon was absolutely amazing. My girlfriend and I loved every minute of it. The space was cute, warm, welcoming, and incredibly cozy — the perfect little Valentine’s Day getaway. It felt peaceful and intimate, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and spend quality time together.

Weekend Trip to Fort Bailey Private Desert Estate
The tiny house is a wonderful getaway. Wide open skies, with great views of the desert and mountains. The tiny house is provided with all the amenities needed for a weekend getaway. The pictures are accurate, and the place is cozy. The owner was very responsive via text. The price was appropriate and overall a good value.
