Calico Farm: A Boutique Farm Stay in the San Bernardino Mountains
Tucked away on three serene acres in the San Bernardino Mountains, Calico Farm offers a tranquil retreat just two and a half hours from Los Angeles and ten minutes from Big Bear Lake. Bordering the National Forest and overlooking the 165-acre Baldwin Lake Ecological Preserve, the property is immersed in natural beauty and peaceful seclusion.
The centerpiece of the estate is a thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse featuring two spacious living areas and a 1,200-square-foot covered wraparound porch. The home’s unique architecture creates a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Outdoor amenities include a hot tub, multiple alfresco dining and lounging areas, a chicken coop, and an oversized corral. A private well with a dedicated well house provides sustainable water access. The luxury barn—approximately 1,300 square feet—is equipped with electricity, water, ceiling fans, and versatile space ideal for equestrian or recreational use.
Guests are encouraged to slow down and reconnect with nature: sip coffee or cocktails on the porch, unwind in a hammock, practice yoga at sunrise, or enjoy a meal under the stars. A private trail leads directly into the adjacent forest, perfect for scenic hikes and nature walks with breathtaking views.
Celebrated in travel publications like Goop and The Chalkboard, Calico Farm is a sought-after year-round destination with a loyal following and glowing guest reviews. It offers a rare combination of rustic charm and refined comfort.
With ample flat land and existing structures perfect for creative reimagining, the property presents exciting opportunities for expansion or further development. Calico Farm is deeply committed to conservation and invites guests to appreciate the unspoiled Alpine desert landscape and the local wildlife it helps to protect.
