Home of the Week: Creekside Cabin in the Angeles National Forest

Nestled in the North Fork of Azusa Canyon, beneath a canopy of oaks and alongside a gentle creek, this fully updated cabin is more than a place — it’s a feeling.

A Legacy Retreat in the Forest

Whether you’re envisioning summer nights with grandkids observing stars or quiet mornings with a journal and coffee in hand, this cabin offers the timeless beauty of nature with the comforts of home. Built for connection and creativity, it’s a space where stories begin — and are passed down.

Rustic Soul, Modern Comforts

This is a true turn-key escape. A striking stone fireplace anchors the home, while every rustic detail whispers “welcome.” The high truss ceiling in the main living room sparkles with light from the fireplace made of hand placed stones and driftwood mantle shelves.   A cool cocktail or cup of hot cocoa brings a pleasant end to a day in the mountains.  The kitchen is designed for slow dinners and joyful gatherings.  Smart updates and all electric appliances make cleaning up a snap.  The spacious bathroom, with built in laundry facilities and a glass enclosed shower, refreshes your body.  The two bedrooms, a spacious main room and a smaller room near the entrance, lull you to rest with the sounds of nature right outside.  Double-paned windows and well insulated walls make it easy to settle in for a weekend or a season.

Life on the Creek

Step outside and you’ll find yourself immersed in serenity: multiple outdoor sitting areas, a shaded patio crowned by ancient oaks, and bird feeders that bring daily visits from hummingbirds — who seem to know when it’s time for tea.

Accessible, Affordable, Remarkable

Directly accessed from Highway 39 and approximately 14 miles from the 210 freeway, you can drive right to the front door of the cabin.  From Pasadena City Hall, a short 40 minute drive gets you to your magical compound.  Connected to Edison electricity, satellite internet connectivity and running water, this cabin sits on leasehold land from the U.S. Forest Service — just $1,353/year — offering a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind mountain property at a fraction of the cost of private land.

Offered to All-Cash Buyers Only

For those who seek peace, beauty, and a place to build something that lasts.
