Traveling in 2016 – 5 Tips to Help You Save Cash
Visiting Southern California in 2016? Or do you live in the area and want to take a vacation that’s close to home? The following five tips will help you get the most recreational and financial bang for your vacation buck!
-
Visit several SoCal areas at once.
If you haven’t been to the San Bernardino Mountains, plan to spend the bulk of your trip in the Lake Arrowhead area. In a tranquil, picturesque spot dubbed the “Swiss Alps of Southern California,” you will find shops, outdoor adventure and restaurants you won’t want to miss. For more about this, check out our recent blog posts about what to do in Southern California/Lake Arrowhead. Also, while you’re in the area, don’t forget to squeeze in a visit to other SoCal favorites. You can “go Hollywood” for the day and hit all of the tourist spots in LA such as the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Mann’s Chinese Theater or Universal Studios. Or head south to Temecula for vineyard tours or an Indian casino. Southern California is an amazing place to visit in 2016.
-
Use technology to your advantage.
If you are flying into LAX or Orange County before heading to Lake Arrowhead, remember to book flights well in advance for the best deals. Most sites now have “fare calendars” which show the best prices for any given month. If possible, try to travel on Mondays which are often less in demand than other days of the week. Use review websites and apps to scout great locations, rental cars and restaurants. Did you know, for example, that you could upgrade to much nicer, safer, roomier rental cars for a just a few bucks? So save money where you can, but be willing to spend a little more for the sake of a relaxing trip. Even if your group is small, you will want to have room in the trunk for the shopping you’ll do in Lake Arrowhead Village.
-
Consider traveling during the off-season.
It’s difficult to avoid the crowds these days no matter when you travel. However, Lake Arrowhead has distinct tourist seasons. So you may be able to book a house or cabin at a discount if you book through Arrowhead Property Rental. Taking a vacation during the off season is a great way to save money and also, enjoy a more restful vacation. So, if work and school permit, consider heading up the hill in early fall or winter. Snowfall has left a lovely blanket of snow on the mountain. Instead of driving up and picnicking on a turnout, dedicate a weekend to snow play. If you ski, Snow Valley will provide everything you need for a day on the slopes. And if you prefer cross-country skiing, head to Rim Nordic. If you would prefer even more casual snow-play, check out Snowdrift Tubing Park.
-
Book a vacation home in Lake Arrowhead.
Use Arrowhead Property Rental (book at ArrowheadRent.com) to find the perfect vacation home to fit your group and spending plan. Renting a fully-furnished home is a great way to bring together your entire family in one place. You can consider a vacation home your own little “hotel” without worrying about loud neighbors, overpriced room service, or 7 am housekeeping interruptions. And if you find a home that you love, you can make it part of an annual tradition.
-
Make your own meals (and memories)
Fully equipped vacation homes provide you with several ways to save money. Consider the costs of dining out every day. If you have a group of six adults on a four-day trip, that adds up to 72 total meals, if everyone in the group eats three times a day. That could easily be $1,000 to $2,000 for food. By eating meals in a well-appointed vacation home, the group has more money to spend on fun nature-focused excursions or shopping trips. Meals and snacks can also be enjoyed on your own schedule. Also, you can indulge late-night ice cream cravings or open a bottle of wine after the kids go to bed.
Whether you’re looking to spend a single night of luxury with your closest friends with a gourmet kitchen or would prefer to stay in a modest cabin for several days, weeks or months, at Arrowhead Property Rental in Lake Arrowhead, California, we offer lodging to fit all tastes and budgets – for individuals, couples, families and groups — all at great prices, with unbelievable amenities. Check out the possibilities. Don’t delay. Book today.

Pop on Your Skis or Snowshoes
Now that we have a beautiful blanket of snow, it’s time to secure a rental home and do some local skiing or snowboarding. Head to Snow Valley, located in nearby Running Springs, for some serious winter fun. Recent storms have left a lovely blanket of snow on the hill. But even when Mother Nature fails to provide powder, snowmaking ensures a great snow play experience. Check slope conditions before your trip on the Snow Valley website. You can save time by buying lift tickets in advance and opting for two-day tickets to make sure you get the most out of the journey.
Snowshoeing is another popular local activity—one that is not only fun but also burns an amazing number of calories, which is just the thing needed after a big holiday meal. Rim Nordic Ski Area is located five miles from Running Springs and features both snowshoeing and cross country skiing trails.
To enjoy some family snow time without using up an entire day, visit Snowdrift Snow Tubing Park. This fun destination is Southern California’s largest and oldest snow tubing park and offers inner tube riding down beginner, intermediate, and advanced snow-covered trails. The price to enjoy tubing is $15 per person, per hour — making it an ideal quick trip from your warm rental home.
Dive into Holidays Shopping
Lake Arrowhead is a great destination for holiday shoppers, offering a range of apparel, gifts, and specialty and outlet stores that offer something for everyone. Some of the city’s most popular outlet stores include Bass, Van Heusen, Coach, Jockey and Pendleton…to name a few.

What to Do in Lake Arrowhead in November
Spend Thanksgiving in Lake Arrowhead.
November is one of the best times of the year to explore the mountains around Lake Arrowhead. The leaves have changed color and the temperature dips. In fact, it’s one of the few places in Southern California where fall is in the air. If you are planning to take a short fall vacation, here are a few ideas for having fun in the Swiss Alps of So Cal — Lake Arrowhead.
Getting Outside
Visit the San Bernardino National Forest to learn more about hiking in the local conditions. Temperatures in November are typically pleasant, making longer hikes manageable, providing less chance of sunburn and providing an opportunity to see wildlife in their natural habitats. If you plan to hike, make sure you prepare for both unseasonably cool and warm weather, as snowfall can occur in as early as November and as late as May. At nearly 700,000 acres, the forest feels majestically uncrowded in the quieter months of fall. So escape the crowds in the valley below and head up where the air is clear. Need a trail map to spark some ideas? Click this great Arrowhead Ranger District Trails map to find the right trail and campground to meet your needs.
While you are in the mountains, stop at the Strawberry Peak Lookout, a functioning wildfire tower that offers great views and picture-taking opportunities of the area. Built in 1934, the tower’s has volunteers on hand to provide visitors with tips about fire prevention as well as the history of fire throughout the region.
Wildhaven Ranch is a wildlife sanctuary and visitor center that features endangered and indigenous wild animals. Operated by the San Bernardino Mountains Wildlife Society, Wildhaven Ranch is open on Saturday. If you are interested in seeing eagles, bears, and other creatures, reservations are recommended.
Talking Turkey
Live in the hectic world of Los Angeles or San Diego? You may need of a trip out of town for Thanksgiving. Check out the Lake Arrowhead region for a relaxing mountain escape. Here are some tips for getting the most “gobble” out of your Thanksgiving vacation:
- Make a long weekend trip. Look at the many offerings at Arrowhead Property Rental to find the perfect property to spend “turkey day” in the mountains.
- Prepare for possible snow. Since Thanksgiving is at the end of the month, there is a chance you and your family will be able to enjoy a blanket of snow while you dine.
- Lake Arrowhead boasts several great restaurants offering delicious Thanksgiving dinners. Or simply stock up at Stater Bros or Jensen’s for a turkey banquet with all of the trimmings.
November is a great time in Lake Arrowhead, where you can feel the chill of winter coming without the risk of massive snowstorms (though we sometimes enjoy those, too). Whether you’re looking to spend two nights of luxury with your entire family with a gourmet kitchen or would prefer to stay in a modest cabin for several days, weeks or months, at Arrowhead Property Rental in Lake Arrowhead, California, we offer lodging to fit all tastes and budgets – for individuals, couples, families and groups — all at great prices, with unbelievable amenities.

Picking that Lake Arrowhead Vacation Dream Home – Five Essential Tips
Get away from it all. Go to Lake Arrowhead.
You’ve picked your destination and decided on a fun trip to Lake Arrowhead. The next thing on your vacation “to do” list is to choose the perfect place to rent while you’re away, so you can relax and unwind.
Follow these five tips for finding a vacation home, and you will be perfectly positioned to find the ideal vacation rental property:
-
Match your needs to the property. This sounds simple, but it’s an essential step for finding the perfect rental. All you need to do is match your wish list and budget to available properties.
-
For example, do you need a place that sleeps 10? Don’t stop at counting bedrooms. Check the number of beds in the property. Many owners wisely make the most of their rentals, with convertible features that may not be immediately apparent.
-
Are you planning on hiking during your stay? Search for properties that are located near trailheads.
-
Do you love the water? A lakefront house within walking distance to the Village is one option. This time of year a Lake View home will allow you to feast your eyes on the splendor of Lake Arrowhead.
-
Examine pictures carefully. Pictures can tell a thousand words, so look closely at pictures of the rental property. You’ve found a red flag if the listing description says “modern and bright” but the décor is from the 1970’s and you barely see any windows. Pictures can help gauge the overall condition of the rental and how much space you have to stretch out after a long day enjoying the sights.
-
Confirm the internet connection. If you plan on enjoying a working vacation, don’t forget to check about the availability of Wi-Fi. In Lake Arrowhead, some homes are located in remote locations, without clear connections to cellphone towers. In such locations, streaming Netflix or playing online games won’t work. And this is a good thing, since the mountain offers plenty of activities that happen outdoors. You might actually enjoy spending time with family members who aren’t glued to their electronic devices. But rest assured that if you prefer (or need) to stay connected, you and your family will be able to do so without worrying. Lots of available properties feature LTE and flat screen TVs.
-
Compute prices. As you check for available properties, be sure you match rates and dates. The same property may go for one rate during tourist season and another on the off-season. The total rates usually include tax, admin. fee and a refundable security deposit.
-
Prepare to Relax. Before leaving for your trip, make sure you understand the way to pick up keys, enter and exit the property and rules for use. Answering these questions in advance will allow you to sit back and enjoy your Lake Arrowhead vacation.
Anytime of the year, vacationing in Lake Arrowhead is fun and affordable. But during the autumn, when the leaves are putting on a spectacular show, you can’t improve on the beauty of the San Bernardino Mountains. Whether you’re looking to spend a weekend of luxury with 10 of your closest friends with a gourmet kitchen or would prefer to stay in a modest cabin for several days, weeks or months, at Arrowhead Property Rental in Lake Arrowhead, California, we offer lodging to fit all tastes and budgets — for individuals, couples, families and groups — all at great prices, with unbelievable amenities. Check out the possibilities. Don’t delay. Book today.

April in Lake Arrowhead – All about Fishing
Whether you are a seasoned fisherman (or woman) or are just starting out, the Lake Arrowhead area is the perfect place to set out with a rod, enjoy nature and reel in a great catch. April is the perfect month to focus on bass, which is a pretty penny in upscale restaurants. So, why not plan a vacation on the hill, where you can catch your own?
Lake Arrowhead
The perfect place to catch trout, Kokanee salmon, bass, catfish, crappie, sunfish and carp, Lake Arrowhead is private, which means its use is restricted to homeowners in a tract of land roughly one mile around the perimeter of the lake, known as “Arrowhead Woods.” Qualified homeowners are required to belong to the “Arrowhead Lake Association” in order to access the lake. If you are interested in purchasing property in Arrowhead Woods, give us a call at (909) 337-2403. But even if you’re not in the market to buy Lake Arrowhead property, you will be able to fish as long as you’re with a property owner. But even if you don’t plan to purchase property in Lake Arrowhead, you can vacation in the area, where there are lots of other great fishing options:
Deep Creek and Bear Creek
After years of drought, Deep Creek and Bear Creek are up and running. Both streams feature the elusive native Brown Trout. And maps are available at the Discovery Center. If you decide to fish at either of these locations, you will need an Adventure Pass so you can park at the trail-heads nearest the stream.
Brown Trout can be fished using artificial lures (no bait) on barbless hooks. There is a limit of two catches per day of trout 8″ or larger. Anglers are encouraged to “catch and release” in these areas, to keep the waters well-stocked. The Department of Fish & Game studied Electro-Shocking in the stream and found the area to host browns in excess of 18 inches.
If you are an angler who would enjoy a great day of fishing without the often-associated hours-drive on either end, book a vacation place in Lake Arrowhead and spend a day or two at either of these streams!
Lake Gregory
Held annually, a free Youth Fishing Derby in Lake Gregory-adjacent Lake Arrowhead for kids aged 16 and under. What’s more, four times during the year, a big-tagged fish Fishing Derby is held, with a $2,000 top prize! Additional prizes are also awarded. The entry fee is just $10. And, historically, most of the tagged fish are caught during derbies. Snacks and supplies and a bait shop are located inside the park. And, although camping is not allowed at the 150-acre park, you could book a comfortable vacation spot in Lake Arrowhead and head over for the derby.
General Restrictions
Anglers 16 and older must hold a valid fishing license, which can be purchased at local sporting goods, hardware stores and marinas. Reduced-fee licenses are available for the elderly and armed forces veterans, and free licenses are available for the visually, physically, and/or developmentally impaired, as well as for certain classes of American Indians. Generally, the catch limit is five in the lakes and two in the streams. Anglers in the wild streams are encouraged to “catch and release.” Some fishing also restricts the type of equipment you may use. A basic license is required and only one rod is permissible at a time.
