Step inside to a warm and inviting main living space that blends vintage character with curated style. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light and frame views of the trees, while original wood-beamed ceilings and knotty pine paneling add cozy, mountain-lodge character.

The kitchen is both functional and full of personality, featuring playful two-tone green cabinetry, classic finishes, and a built-in dining nook with a farmhouse table. Indoor-outdoor access makes for effortless entertaining and easy flow between spaces—perfect for life in the mountains. Two beautifully remodeled bathrooms and cheerful, light-filled bedrooms offer comfort and charm in equal measure, creating a welcoming retreat for family, friends, or guests. Step outside to an expansive decomposed granite and stone patio, thoughtfully designed for outdoor living and entertaining. Multiple zones provide room to dine, lounge, and play—from casual meals under the trees to evenings around the fire pit or games in the open recreation space. A rare two-car garage adds valuable convenience. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a design-forward getaway, or a proven investment, 117 John Muir Road checks every box. The home also operates as a luxury short-term rental, offering strong income potential in one of Lake Arrowhead’s most desirable enclaves.
