Romantic Cabins
and Wigwams
Location:
Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park, Big Bear Lake,
Lake Arrowhead, San Bernardino and Lake Tahoe
Description:
When we think of California as a possible honeymoon
destination, beaches and coastal towns usually come
to mind first. But there are wonderful alternatives
in case you don't want to spend your entire time at
the beach. In fact, experiencing the mountains and
valleys in California is perhaps one of the best
ideas for recently married couples since they offer
spectacular and romantic environments.
Grant Grove Village at Sequoia
National Park (about a one-hour
drive from Fresno) is a prime example, located
within walking distance of the grove of giant
sequoias. You can choose from six types of rustic
cabins and cabin duplexes with private bathrooms,
electricity, and propane heat.
Castlewood
Cottages at Big Bear Lake are also
unique places to stay for the romantic and
adventurous. For example, the Castle Garden
medieval-themed cabin includes a moat with
waterfall and a talking suit of armor! The Crystal
Cave cabin is said to bring out the cave person in
you. Even the shower is made out of rock.
The Lake
Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins comprise
a truly one-of-a-kind cabin resort. There are 20
cabins, each with its own unique theme and
amenities. The cabins are real mountain cabins with
warm woodsy interiors and real wood burning
fireplaces. They range in size from cozy studio
cabins for 2 up to large lodges perfect for family
reunions.
Nestled in two acres of pine trees in Tahoe
Vista, CA, are The
Rustic Cottages which consist of 19
old Tahoe-style cabins, all with private bathrooms.
Originally the sawmill and labor camp of the
Brockway Lumber Company, the property was converted
to vacation cottages in 1925. These cottages are
all different, each with its own charm and modern
conveniences. The Rustic Cottages are centrally
located on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, across
the street from the lake.
And last but not least, a not-to-be-missed place
to experience for romantic, nostalgic types is the
old Wigwam
Motel on Historic Route 66 in the
San Bernardino area. This location marked the final
of 7 Wigwam Motels that were constructed during the
1930s and 40s. The motel's village-style
arrangement of nineteen 30-foot-tall tepees made
from wood framing, concrete and stuco draws much
admiration from all generations. Today, only three
the of the original motels remain: Cave City, KY;
Holbrook, AZ; and Rialto, CA.
