Arrowhead Property Rental
Offering the Finest Vacation & Full-Time Rentals on the Mountain
Summer Fun in Lake Arrowhead
When temperatures soar and smog is at its peak, it may be difficult to focus on work instead of daydreaming about vacation. But why wait until your “official holiday” for respite? Just a short drive from downtown Los Angeles, congested Orange County, and blazing hot desert communities, Lake Arrowhead is the jewel of the San Bernardino Mountains. So you can head up even if you have just a day or two to make the most of everything the area has to offer:
- Free Summer Concerts are offered every weekend from May until Labor Day, and showcase virtually every conceivable genre. So check out this summer’s offerings and schedule a trip around your favorite group’s event. Then, plan to arrive early to stake your claim on the grassy knoll hours in advance, or pay to reserve a table to guarantee your spot.
- Water sports at McKenzie Water Ski School. Although Lake Arrowhead is private, don’t let that keep you from enjoying the sand and scenery. One way to do this is by booking a lesson or tour through the local water ski school. Located in Lake Arrowhead Village, adjacent to the Village docks, this family-owned shop offers much more than lessons.

Hearkening back to days of old, the tour is navigated and narrated by a live captain, who shares area history including celebrity sightings and local lore.- Movie Theater. After a day in the sun, you might want to relax with a tub of popcorn and an iced cold beverage at Blue Jay Cinema. Although it wouldn’t qualify as a multiplex, the theater features six screens which show the latest attractions.

Whether your goal is fitness or fun, the trails in San Bernardino County National Forest are sure to please. Trails vary in length from 1-25 miles and boast everything from desert cactus to dramatic waterfalls, to mountain pines.

The trail includes some great single track trails. Other events include mountain bike racing & trail runs.- Rock Climbing. Dedicated climbers will want to make the Arrowhead Pinnacles part of their conquered hills. The large area has many routes scattered over rocky terrain which is similar to what is found at Joshua Tree. The approach is said to take about an hour and includes many crack and face routes from which to choose

Spring has Sprung in Lake Arrowhead
Life in the valley can be hectic. Traffic, smog, crowds and construction have replaced the natural beauty of many Southern California locations. But a hidden gem, located just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, awaits. Welcome to Lake Arrowhead.
Lake Arrowhead Village History in a Nutshell
In 1919, a group of nine millionaires purchased Arrowhead Reservoir and Power Company holdings. They renamed Little Bear Lake “Lake Arrowhead” and started construction on the original Lake Arrowhead Village in 1922, opening on June 24, 1922.
The area enjoyed many great years as a major tourist attraction for the rich and famous until finally, in April, 1979, the San Bernardino County Fire Department burnt the outdated, unsafe, original structures to the ground, in a “burn to learn” exercise. The only remaining original structure is the building once known as the casino. At the center of town, the edifice now houses several businesses including Papagayos Mexican Restaurant. 
Lake Arrowhead Village Today
Still the hub of Lake Arrowhead life, the rebuilt Village is home to several major retail outlets including Bass, Jockey, Van Heusen, Coach, Wilson’s Leather, Factory Brand Shoes, and Pendleton as well as national chain stores such as Claire’s Accessories and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. In addition, dozens of specialty stores such as Leroy’s Board Shop, Sondra’s Wild Sophistication, Mr. G’s Toys, and the Studio Boutique offer unique shopping experience.
Nature Calls
With majestic snow-capped mountains, aromatic pine trees, fragrant wild flowers and adorable wild animals in their natural habitat, Lake Arrowhead is the perfect place to head this spring:
- The San Bernardino National Forest is a federally-managed forest covering more than 800,000 acres. Vegetation includes numerous varieties of trees, such as Ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine, Sugar pine, Coulter pine, Lodgepole pine, Single-leaf pinyon, and Knobcone pine all thrive here. Other coniferous trees such as White Fir, Bigcone Douglas-fir, Incense Cedar, and Western Juniper also thrive, as do Canyon Live Oak, California Black Oak, and Pacific Dogwood.
- The first glimpse of nature’s bounty to greet you as you drive up Highway 18 or the 330 on your way to Lake Arrowhead are native flowers. Countless varieties offer a breathtaking view. But arguably the most beautiful are Dogwoods, which bloom along Kuffel Canyon and elsewhere on the mountain each spring. Technically flowering trees, the flowers are a local favorite which herald spring. Daffodils are another annual treat, with some 80,000 bulbs decorating Highway 189 near Twin Peaks.
- If you’re an animal lover, you can’t beat Lake Arrowhead. The area is home to squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, mountain lions, deer, bears, and hundreds of birds. And even if you fail to catch a glimpse of them in the wild, you can get your wildlife fix by visiting nearby Wildhaven Ranch, which is a wildlife sanctuary for indigenous and endangered species. The Ranch is open to the public year round on Saturdays for Wings ‘N’ Things and Fridays for Bear Watch starting in the spring and continuing into the fall. Reservations are required. Please call (909) 337-7389.

St. Patrick’s Day
What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has emerged as an international festival featuring parades, dancing, special food and drinks and a whole lot of green.
Mini History of St. Paddy’s
- Patrick was born in Britain during the 4th century.
- As a teen, he was kidnapped and enslaved by Irish raiders.
- He escaped after six years and became a priest in Britain.
- Later, he chose to return to Ireland as a missionary, in order to help spread the teachings of Christianity to pagans.
- According to Irish folklore, he also used a shamrock to explain the Christian concept of the Trinity to the Irish.
- In spite of continuous opposition from pagan leaders, he continued to evangelize for 30 years while baptizing newly converted Christians and establishing monasteries, churches, and schools.
- He died on March 17th and was canonized by the local church.
- The first time St. Patrick’s Day was publicly celebrated was in Boston in 1737, where a large population of Irish immigrants resided.
In Lake Arrowhead in March, everyone is Irish. Here are just a few of the fun things in the area to mark the occasion:
BWW often offers Irish fare and beer tastings to mark the auspicious occasion of St. Patrick’s Day. Call to ask for this year’s offerings (909) 335-5999.
Corned beef and cabbage also make an appearance on this diner menu. So head over for a budget-friendly, festive meal throughout March.
Enjoy a limited time special dessert option — Irish Cream Cheesecake. Also, with an Irish proprietor, the Grille makes it a point to offer plenty of specialty beers and cuisine like corned beef and cabbage and shepherd’s pie, to mark the occasion throughout the month of March.
Sumi-e & Chinese Brush Painting Class
Offered through the Mountain Arts Network on Saturday, March 19, 2016, is another
affordable, entertaining option for the artistically inclined. These classes are open to children as well as adults, and feature instruction by Alma Boruk, an artist whose work infuses Asian painting techniques.
10 – 11:30 a.m. – Kids – $15 materials included
1 – 3 p.m. – Adults – $20 materials included
Easter

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.

Visit Arrowhead Property Rental to find the perfect rental home for your group, whether it’s just you and a friend or a family gathering of up to 10.

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.

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.

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.
