Fans of classic silent film comedies, and Charlie Chaplin in particular, will
no doubt be interested in visiting the “Chaplin Cabin” in Paradise Springs, California.
No, Chaplin didn’t film any of his iconic movies in the cabin, nor did write any iconic gags
while staying there. The cabin was purely for “debaucherous” partying during the heyday of prohibition.
These days, the cabin is part of a glamping resort owned by the French company Huttopia. On its website, Huttopia boasts that the Paradise Springs’ Chaplin Cabin is “rustic yet refined,” features a “cozy atmosphere perfect for relaxing evenings” and is a “historic retreat nestled in a stunning natural setting, rich with Hollywood history.”
The original owner of the cabin wasn’t Chaplin, it was silent film actor Noah Beery Sr., who along with his “hard-partying” Oscar-winning brother Wallace Beery bought the Paradise Springs property and turned it into “a hedonistic wonderland for stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age.” Thanks to Cracked.com for the heads-up on this little ditty...
