Keywords: Mountain House
Newly remodeled mountain chalet-style home located in the north bay area of beautiful Lake Arrowhead. Approximately 2 hours driving from Los Angeles, 90 minutes from Orange County, CA and 50 miles from Ontario Airport. (ONT) Park your car in the driveway and...
Once you're settled in the 3500 square-foot house, you might not want to use your car again, as it's easier to boat over to the village and explore the charms of this private mountain lake. The house is set up with a master bedroom on the main level, and 4 bedrooms upstairs, with 2 bathrooms.
The lower 'rec-room' level has a sleeper sofa, and an additional bathroom with shower. 2 large decks provide lots of opportunities for sunning, eating, or just watching the boats go by. There are 3 king beds, 1 queen, 5 singles, a sleeper sofa, and a crib.
The Lake Arrowhead area is a somewhat undiscovered area, as the lake is completely private. This means that there is no access for day boaters to get out on the lake. There is a charming village a short boat ride away, with restaurants, groceries and shops.
Summertime has the feel of a summer camp, with the boat traffic starting at 7am sharp (wakeboarding, water skiing, and air chairs - no inflatable's or jet skis allowed.) The village does a summer concert series, and the weekends are lively.
Fall remains warm and beautiful usually, and the winters are quiet and serene, with fun sledding runs to be found and much reduced noise and traffic on the lake (most boats are hauled out into storage during the winter, including ours - a 21' Four Winns). We offer use of the boat (in season - April through November) to renters who are willing to obtain a boating license from the Arrowhead Lake Association.
There is an ALA (Arrowhead Lake Association) path that winds around the lake and can be accessed right below our home. It provides a nice opportunity for small hikes down to 'Bruin Woods' (the UCLA Conference Center) or the other way to a lovely swing hung between two big trees.
Please be advised that this home, although lovely, is not the easiest to access. There is parking for approximately 6 cars, 2 in the garage. However, there are 79 steps from the driveway down to the house. The tram on the property has been disabled for insurance reasons, due to lack of safety features. It is probably not the ideal location for an older renter, or for someone with bad knees!
Enjoy the convenient use of the owners 21’ boat

The adventures began as soon as my family and I arrived and got settled in to the “Lake House” on Lake Arrowhead.
To start with this home is truly a dream of luxury, yet exudes such an overwhelming feel of comfort. The owners have made sure all guests staying here will be made to feel right at home. Although the size of this home can accommodate up to twelve, the cozy, family feel makes it perfect for gatherings of all sizes. The fabulous great room decorated in warm wood tones is complete with huge stone fireplace. Comfy seating is designed for a laid-back group conversation, curling up with a great book from the library, or gazing out the wall of windows to the spectacular awe-inspiring view of Lake Arrowhead. It’s absolutely heaven on earth.
If you’re in the mood for a little competitiveness, this home is equipped with an extensive gaming collection and a gaming table, that both overlook the breathtaking view of the beautiful waters of Lake Arrowhead. Downstairs is the den with games, a big screen TV and comfy furnishings. It’s a total hang out room that perfect for kids or adults alike. There is a great deck leading off the den/family room for taking in the view from the lower level. No need to climb stairs to get a fabulous view!
If your family loves to cook and gather in the kitchen like mine does, this kitchen is a chef’s dream! It’s fully stocked with all of the amenities one would expect from a gourmet kitchen. Plus, it’s totally remodeled with state-of-the-art appliances, yet it’s so comfortable and easy to settle into. The wood island and the warm wood dining table are perfect spots for all the family to gather around for some delicious offerings. Because of the open floor plan design of this home, you will never miss out on any of the family action. The kitchen looks out onto the dining and great room, so all are included in the Lake House fun!
It was pretty difficult to drag this blue eyed teddy bear out of bed to venture out and about the lake. The bedrooms are all so plush and comfortable, I was tempted to sink into a long and wonderful hibernation in the quality bedding. Each room is designed with a family in mind. The master bedroom is amazingly warm in design and beautifully decorated, with hints of cabin life and touches of rustic charm throughout. The master bath was spa-like and the heated bathroom floors kept my bear toes nice and toasty as I got ready each morning for what awaited outdoors.
This home is perfect for an active family. Just outside on your private dock awaits a 21’ Four Winns boat to whisk you off onto the lake for various adventures. You can motor over to the Lake Arrowhead Village for dining or shopping, or take in a concert depending on the time of year. Enjoy cruising by beautiful lake front homes and learn about the lake’s history. During the summer months, you can have a blast water skiing, wakeboarding or skimming across the blue waters. Another very favorite adventure of mine was the ALA (Arrowhead Lake Association) Trail that meanders and winds itself around the lake. The ALA Trail is conveniently just below the lake house. It’s great to get out and stretch your paws to take in all the sights and sounds up close in this beautiful area. The recreation possibilities are endless.
The home is nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains. It’s hard to believe that this secluded, pristine spot is only a short two-hour drive from Los Angeles or Orange County. This is one spot I highly recommend!
