OTROLIG FAMILJ / VÄNEN RETREAT I HJÄRTET PÅ VÄRLDEN

hello friends, i am a retired airline hostess and i enjoy beautiful places and homes, and taking care of my guests. i was born and grew up in germany, where i worked as a translator for USAACOM. i came to the usa in 1967 on a leave of absence, started flying, fell in love with my new country and my new job and i have been here ever since. our main residence is in los angeles, ca, but my family and i love driving up up to lake arrowhead, which reminds me of my youth in a small town in germany.

i love restoring older homes to their former glory. i am proud to say that this property is now a beautiful, elegant and comfortable home and offers all the amenities of a luxury hotel and more. the old-world charm of castellago and its ideal location make for a perfect get-away. you can walk across the street to arrowhead village to the super market, several fine restaurants, as well as casual eateries with lake views. there is a coach outlet store and other lovely stores and boutiques, galleries, antique stores for the adults and a little playground and macdonalds for the kids. a seven eleven and a pizzeria are across the street. the property has its own large level parking lot. the ground floor has 2 bedrooms/2bathrooms for those not able to climb stairs. the home is easily accessible from hwy 173 even during inclement weather. during the summer, oktoberfest, 4th of july fireworks, christmas, etc. it is impossible to find parking in the village. castellago guests can just stroll across the street. sunday brunch at bugsy segal's former speak-easy or cedar glen village for antiquing are just a 10 minute drive away. my guest book has loads of information for you.

i fell in love with castellago the first time i saw it! from the village it looks like an old european castle and inside it is a mixture of villa and farmhouse - sophisticated, yet cozy and comfortable. the location is prime! once there you will not need a car. from restaurants to shopping to entertainment - everything is within walking distance. the home has ample parking for 5 cars, or a motorhome, a boat. wintersports are easily accessible , the home is right off hwy 173, it's 1.6 miles to sky park and santa's village, 5.8 miles to lake gregory 8 miles to snow valley and 8 miles to san manuel casino. castellago has lake rights and access to two private beach clubs for guests staying 30 DAYS OR MORE ( PER LAKE ASSOCIATION!) BEACH PASS IS REQUIRED! parking in arrowhead village is problematic during the summer months and holidays, and being able to just walk across the street for shopping, dinner, a cruise on the arrowhead queen, the weekend concerts, fireworks, etc. is a plus. yet, for guests just looking for a quiet weekend with family and friends, the kitchen is fully stocked, bathroom amenities are provided. the private terrace is a lovely spot equipped with a large bbq, dining set and chaise lounge. or you can watch movies on the 2 large screen tvs, read a book in the little library or play games in the breakfast/game room. guests may use owner's lake pass to access the private hiking trails around the lake by purchasing wrist bands from the lake association.
