Private Foothill Cabin 7 Min to Colleges | Cabin in Claremont
2 Bedroom Cabin in Los Angeles County, Claremont
A bright, comfortable foothill cabin beneath century‑old oaks, with natural views from every window and close access to all Claremont and La Verne attractions. Built on a barn foundation, this foothill retreat sits among oak, cedar, and pine. Filtered sunlight, birdsong, and canyon calm define the stay. Seven to ten minutes to The Claremont Colleges, Claremont Village, and restaurants. Twenty to thirty minutes to the mountains for hiking, views, and trails.
The space
This 640‑square‑foot cabin rests on a sloped acre of foothill land, with terracotta‑colored tile floors, white walls, and sloped ceilings with painted exposed beams. Large windows in every room bring in constant indirect sunlight and views of surrounding oaks, hedges, succulents, and a small grassy field behind the house, where local wildlife such as deer regularly pass by. One blue gum eucalyptus near the cabin was planted by Australian gold miners in the 1800s.
The two bedrooms, each 125–140 sq ft, include large multi‑pane windows with blackout curtains, a queen mattress and box spring, and their own closets with shelves and hangers. One bedroom includes a chest‑of‑drawers; the other includes additional shelving. A fold‑out sofa in one room opens into a third queen bed. The bedrooms are separated from each other by a wall of closets and from the rest of the house by additional walls, creating strong privacy and a quiet interior.
The L‑shaped kitchen has counter space and cabinets along one wall, and a perpendicular dining area that opens into the living room. It includes a full complement of cookware, knives, baking tools, serving ware, tableware, and small appliances. (There is no dishwasher.) A glass dining table seats six below a high window that brings in soft natural light. A dedicated coffee station sits on a console nearby, with a drip coffee maker, Keurig, French press, coffee grounds, k‑cups, condiments, mugs, and to‑go cups.
The living area is compact and doubles as the walkway between the kitchen and bedrooms. It contains a mission‑style sofa, two mid‑century armchairs, abundant natural light, and lamps for evening use. There is free WiFi but no television.
The bathroom is a compact galley layout with a shower (no tub), strong water pressure, and a combination light‑and‑fan.
A stacked washer and dryer sit in a dedicated laundry space in the kitchen, and an iron and ironing board are also available in the house.
Outdoors, guests can walk into the field behind the house, although the ground is uneven. The cabin sits in the shade of tall trees, while parts of the field receive full sun. Night skies are dark with a few visible stars, and the porch light remains on. A faint hum from distant interstate traffic is rarely audible outdoors; the interior remains quiet.
