Norman Design Group has reimagined this cozy cabin retreat that is located in Lake Arrowhead, a majestic mountain paradise in Southern California. Recreating a home inherited from the previous generation presented a unique challenge for designers: how can they preserve the fantastic childhood memories held by the original design, while also improving its capacity for future memory-making?

These questions drove the renovation of this cabin that came with its original 1970s interior. The project team embraced a sense of warmth and togetherness in the design solutions. By the final reveal, they had successfully welcomed the family into a new chapter of family dinners, sunset boat cruises (there is a boat dock on the property), ski weekends, and warm fires.

Just off this bright yet rustic and cozy entry of this home, you can hang a right and head down to the Rec Room. Here, there are options to grab a drink at the bar, shoot some pool, or lounge on the cozy sectional.

What We Love: This Lake Arrowhead cabin offers its inhabitants a warm and welcoming, completely refreshed home for making new memories at the lake. There are so many fabulous details in this home, including the unique use of textures, stone detailing, playful artwork, and a floor plan that encourages centralized social activities. The bright, upbeat atmosphere of this dwelling welcomes boaters from the lake and creates a one-of-a-kind space for creating lasting family memories.
