This was originally a Girl Scout camp called Singing Pines back in the 30’s. You’ll see as you roam around some of the original buildings and structures. It hasn’t been in operation as a Girl Scout camp for over 30 years. The bigger building is an Airbnb for groups. They will also have access to the lake. DIRECTIONS: Take Exit for Angeles Crest Hwy (Hwy 2) from the 210 Go North, up the mountain for 29 miles Turn left on Sulpher Springs Rd Go about a mile and you will see a Singing Pines sign up on a hill on the right side. There is a white gate which is usually open but if it's closed go ahead and open it. Go down that driveway about a mile and turn left at the fork. Follow that road down and around the lake staying to the right. Once you passed the lake there will be a little uphill and the location is on the left. Learn more about this land: The Skoolie is a converted short bus with two love seats that convert to an RV queen bed, sink, stove top, dinette, and over head lights. Outside is a private meadow with a short walk to a small lake. You can bring your fishing gear. It's stocked with Bass and Bluegill. Outside the Skoolie is a picnic table, fire pit (firewood $10 a bundle) and a hammock. Up the hill, a very short walk is the private campground toilet facility. This is not shared with anyone else. No cell phone reception no linens bring a sleeping bag or warm blankets. You can charge your phone in the Skoolie for a sunrise alarm or just to take pictures.

The White Lodge is a private home owned by the creator of Hicksville Trailer Palace and Hicksville Pines Bud and Breakfast. Although Morgan(the owner) has retired, he's made his property to feel as if you're in the middle of the woods complete with swimming hole, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, sauna and more! Our trailer and cave shower entrance are on the smaller size and may not be comfortable for larger bodied individuals. We are closed May-August because the trailer has no A/C and we're too busy with our Swimply pool business. You can book it only as an add-on for pool guests during that time.

French below - With its untouched natural beauty, fresh mountain air, and golden sunlight filtering through the trees, it’s easy to see why Paradise Springs became the perfect setting for our very first Huttopia resort on the West Coast.

Tucked within a wide canyon, Paradise Springs is a true oasis—surrounded by vibrant desert flora and nourished by a crystal-clear artesian spring that feeds a meandering creek all year round. It’s wild, serene, and effortlessly magical—just as paradise should be. -- Avec sa nature préservée, son air pur de montagne et la lumière dorée filtrant à travers les arbres, il est facile de comprendre pourquoi Paradise Springs a été le choix évident pour notre tout premier site Huttopia sur la côte Ouest. Nichée au cœur des montagnes San Gabriel, dans la forêt nationale protégée d’Angeles, Huttopia Paradise Springs offre une véritable échappée sauvage.

Arbor House

Welcome to Arbor House, our quirky cabin-chic hideaway tucked high among the trees in the San Bernardino Mountains. Part mountain house, part grown-up treehouse, Arbor House feels like you’re living right in the forest. Big windows frame the surrounding pines, balconies put you among the branches, and inside you’ll find warm wood, cosy corners, vintage touches and plenty of personality. This isn’t a cookie-cutter cabin. It’s a proper home in the trees, full of character and little quirks, with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a wood-burning fire, a fully equipped kitchen, fast fibre WiFi and lots of space to spread out. Not forgetting our fully private deck and bbq through our secret passage...you'll see ;) Wake up to the sound of the trees, drink coffee on the balcony, watch for deer wandering past, fire up the BBQ, then settle in by the fire as the mountain cools down at night. You’re only around 8 minutes from Lake Gregory and close to hiking, swimming and the little mountain towns, but back at the house it feels wonderfully tucked away. The corner lot has no immediate neighbours on three sides, so the forest really does feel like your backyard. If you love treehouse vibes, old-school cabin charm and the comfort of having an actual house to come home to, Arbor House is our little slice of mountain magic.
