Our cabins are less than 100 yards from the lakeshore. We take pride in our resort of 12 cabins and maintain their cleanliness and the peacefulness our guests seek. Whether you are looking for a family vacation spot or a romantic getaway, you've come to the right place. Available for rent are one and two bedroom cabins. There is a double bed in each bedroom. Cots are available as well. Wi-Fi is free.

The kitchens have full sized refrigerators and a gas cooking top with three burners (but no oven). Dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, are provided. Barbecues for charcoal cooking are available for your use. Check "Packing for your Lakeview Cottages vacation" for a complete list.

BOATS AND DOCKS

We rent row boats, aluminum boats with motors, kayaks and canoes. New in the 2009 season are four brand new four-stroke Honda motors and two new kayaks. We have also expanded our beach area. Guests with their own boats may use our dock on a space available basis. Call for details.

The clear cool mountain lake provides a perfect setting for the novice and experienced angler. Both trolling and shoreline fishing are popular. If you are new to trout fishing, your host can probably help.

More Activities

Huntington Lake offers water related activities of fishing, swimming, water skiing, sailing and kayaking.

Many hiking, mountain bike trails and Geocaches are around the lake, and among nearby mountains that provide spectacular scenery and activities for the enjoyment of our guests. Check our Facebook page for photos of some of these opportunities.

The US Forest Service says "Huntington Lake is one of California's premier sailing lakes. Nearly five miles long, this lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides and contained on its western end by three dams. On summer days, hot air from the central San Joaquin Valley expands and rises up the canyon, forcing cool air that has settled above the lake at night into the mountains above. This thermal effect produces consistent afternoon westerly winds averaging 15 mph - ideal for sailing."

A stable at the lake offers horseback rides for full and half day trips.

Read Los Angeles Times writer Thomas Curwen's account of his stay at Lakeview Cottages and his poetic piece on the process of closing the resort for the winter "An elegy for summertime: At a small resort in the Sierra, the cabins are boarded up for winter. It's a ritual of time and memory." This latter article is accompanied by an audio slide show by Mark Boster.
