Lake Arrowhead Access (New for June 2025):
Short-term rental guests enjoy free access to Lake Arrowhead and its scenic trails through the ALA! Registration is required via a waiver sent after booking — all guests must be listed on the Agreement Form. Bring your ALA Membership Card when accessing the lake or trails.

Enjoy hiking, walking, running, swimming (best at Bob’s Beach below the house), or fishing from the trails. Boats, docks, Beach Clubs, and Village docks are off-limits. Trail #7 nearby leads to a sandy beach and connects to the full lake trail system (video instructions provided).

For water activities, book a boat charter with McKenzie Ski School or drive 20 minutes to Lake Gregory for rentals like paddleboards and kayaks (boating on Lake Arrowhead is not allowed for short-term guests).

Full instructions and details are included in our house manual. 🏔️

The Neighborhood:
The Palisades neighborhood is Lake Arrowhead’s hidden gem—charming, well-kept, and easily walkable. It offers a peaceful mountain escape while staying close to all the area’s attractions.

Our home is a 5-minute drive to Lake Arrowhead Village, 7 minutes to Blue Jay Village, under 10 minutes to Santa’s Village, and just a short walk to Jensen’s Grocery and Cedar Glen shops.

*Roads are plowed in winter and ideal for walking year-round.

Getting Around:
Getting around Lake Arrowhead is easiest by car. Most attractions, shops, and dining spots are within a short drive. The roads are well-maintained, and parking is usually available at popular spots like Lake Arrowhead Village and Blue Jay Village. In winter, be sure your vehicle is equipped with snow chains or all-wheel drive, as mountain conditions can change quickly. For those who enjoy walking, the Palisades neighborhood and nearby trails are scenic and pedestrian-friendly.

Other Things to Note:
- Our home is comfortable all four seasons. We have a brand new central A/C and heating system, custom wood burning stove in the living room that can heat the entire house, as well as a whole home automatic generator so the weather never gets in the way of your vacation. These are all rare finds in Arrowhead.

- The bedroom with 2 twin beds and playroom is connected to the 3rd bedroom which has a king bed, lounge area and private workspace.

- Winter Travel: Tire chains and/or 4 wheel drive may be required to drive in the mountains depending on weather and road conditions. We strongly recommend you always keep chains with you when driving in the mountains during winter as weather conditions can change rapidly.

- There are 5 driveway parking spots for guests to use. During the winter months the 2 parking spots in the lower driveway will not be available, so there will be 3 driveway parking spots for guests in the wintertime.
