Secluded Chalet - Hidden Speakeasy in the Pines

Tucked in the Southern California mountains, this secluded prohibition era chalet offers an authentic 1920s escape. No outsiders allowed—just you and yours, vintage spirits, and secrets worth finding if you can follow the clues. Who's ready for an old fashioned scavenger hunt?

If you can find it, then you can drink it.

As for the name? Only revealed after booking.

Hidden among towering pines and whispering winds, B_________ Chalet is no ordinary mountain escape. This authentic 1920s prohibition-style speakeasy is designed for Members who value privacy and seclusion, style, and a touch of mystery.

Behind its hush hush blackened façade lies a moody, modern hideaway that merges roaring 20s sophistication with contemporary mountain luxury.

The chalet’s design is an intentional blend of dark, refined modernism and vintage character — raw textures, exposed beams, velvet drapery, and whispers of bootleg history around every corner. Nestled deep within nature’s backdrop yet just five minutes from Blue Jay Village for dining, shopping, and other essentials.

Unassuming entrances, tucked-away compartments, and design secrets await discovery by Members of the B_________ Society. Some have been revealed; others remain waiting to be found. The experience is a secret worth keeping.

Amenities Worth Raising Your Glasses To:

• Best in class hot tub
• Dual fire pits
• BBQ Grill
• Dual fireplaces
• Central heating and air conditioning
• Ceramic-tinted windows
• Samsung Smart TVs in every bedroom
• Nespresso Verturo and drip coffee machines
• 500 Mbps Wi-Fi (though the best connection is with each other)
• Fully equipped kitchen & top-tier barware — ideal for crafting the secret house cocktail
• Hidden milkshake & ice cream station for the youngest Members
• Velvet blackout curtains
• Plush robes & premium linens
• Custom furniture & layered rugs
• Lutron lighting remotes for effortless ambiance
• Cruelty-free and responsible toiletry products.
• Micro makeup towels

Explore the neighborhood but please don’t give us away. Step outside to a living postcard and explore nearby favorites like:

• Lake Arrowhead Village (7 minutes by car)
• Pumpkins in the Pines & Oktoberfest (autumn celebrations)
• SkyPark at Santa’s Village (10 minutes by car)
• Snow Valley Mountain Resort (30 minutes by car – skiing, snowboarding, tubing)

Or take a short walk up the hill for your own architecture tour through the forest.

MEMBERS RAVE: The home is exactly as pictured—cozy, impeccably designed, and fully stocked. Every detail feels intentional, creating an experience rich with personal touches. Tucked away yet convenient—just a 13-minute walk or 2-minute drive to grocery stores. Outdoors, members unwind in the hot tub or gather by the firepit. Indoors, they enjoy floor-to-ceiling views of visiting wildlife and classic games like tic-tac-toe, air hockey, foosball, and more.
