About this property

Bootlegger's Run

Legend has it that the 1924 cabin was built as a hide out for a bootlegger by the name Worthington Squint. Worthington allegedly ran liquor during prohibition suppling many locals, restaurants, clubs and visitors with the illegal hard stuff. Many Hollywood stars would visit Lake Arrowhead in the day. Some even claim that Jack Benny would drive up to vacation in Lake Arrowhead, party at the lake and then fill his "second gas tank" with the high-quality "white Lightening". Today, refurbished in 2021, the cozy private cabin sits on the remote exclusive South-East side of Lake Arrowhead, ready to receive guests for the next 100 years. With the property being "off-the-grid", a guest is well rewarded with ultimate privacy and seclusion. Behind the stone wall, 1000 sf of gated deck space was added for outdoor entertaining and enjoyment of the spa, BBQ, and fire pit. From the upper deck, you will see one of the best views of the lake and sunsets. The cabin is perfect for a romantic get-away with old world copper sinks and claw foot tub. Daydream from the tub as you enjoy the view of the lake or canopy of trees through the large skylight above. In the warmer months, there is also a private outdoor cedar shower to enjoy. Snuggle up by the original stone fireplace and tree trunk mantle, originally cut on the property when the cabin was built. A small family and their furry friends wishing to relax and get away from it all would also feel right at home. Pet friendly.

Our motto? You will not be found, unless you want to be found!

“Bootleggers Run” Ticks All The Boxes
My wife and I needed a retreat to relax and get away from the city. I wanted a secluded mountain cabin with a beautiful view, nicely appointed with all the amenities. I found it at the “Bootleggers Run” in Sky Forest. The view overlooking the lake is spectacular. Loved to soak in the hot tub from the secluded deck as well as enjoy a second spacious deck with gas fire pit and sitting area and large table for eight. All of this and more! Inside, a cozy thoughtfully decorated mountain home. If space allowed I would talk about giant indoor copper bathtub, a second jetted tub in the master, and private outdoor shower. Well done Tim. Thanks for opening your home. To all considering this place. My advice. Don’t delay. If available, book it now!

Peaceful and relaxing
The property was peaceful and relaxing. It was in a quiet area with access to everything we could need but far enough away that it wasn't a bother. The property itself was beautiful and surprisingly spacious. The owner was super attentive and did a good job of making the stay as pleasant as possible. He was also very good about recommending nice places in the area for entertainment and unwinding. We would highly recommend this vacation stay to anyone looking to get away from it all for a recharging escape. Thank you, Tim!

Magical Forest Getaway🌲
Wow! What an incredible experience it was to stay at Bootlegger’s Run for a few nights. The cabin is even better than the photos and exactly how I wanted to celebrate my birthday. I wished we would’ve stayed longer than 3 nights. It was the perfect getaway from the busy hustle and bustle of city life. It even snowed on the first night of our stay and we woke up to a winter wonderland outside. We were blown away by how well kept, clean, and organized the cabin was. It was stylish and cozy - yet spacious! All of tubs were absolutely divine and I felt like I was in another world relaxing in the hot tub at night. Tim was a great host and he has a lovely gem of a home with its history proudly displayed. We’ll be back soon ❤️

Cozy and Private Cabin
Four adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this homey and cozy cabin. Magnificent stone fireplace (gas) was warming and made our evenings so nice. Cabin is well-appointed and with an open design. Private feel, no neighbors next door. We took nice walks in the neighborhood, and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. Things to note: there are stairs down to cabin and to downstairs bedrooms. Final stretch of road to cabin is dirt and could be difficult in rain or snow. We had no problems, but could be challenging in difficult weather.

Cool Cabin
What a fun cabin to relax at and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Arrowhead with beautiful views of the Lake as well. Loved the attention to detail in and outside the cabin. Absolutely loved the outdoor shower. Beautiful spa, super cozy and homey. Well stocked in every way. Very clean as well. Had a little trouble with figuring out the spa, lighting the stove and fire pit. Owner was quick to help us out tho! Would definitely come back again! Thank you ☺️

Rejuvenation
Bootlegger’s Run was such a welcome retreat for us! We went there for a Mother-Daughter getaway and it was everything we were hoping for. The views are stunning and the house provided everything we needed to have a few days of leisurely conversations, relaxing hot tub time, and delicious meals. The cozy table area was wonderful for meals and board game playing. This listing lives up to expectations and provides a setting of beauty and comfort for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway! Thank you Timothy for sharing your beautiful home with us!
