We absolutely loved our stay here! Karen at the front desk was so friendly and welcoming. This hotel is interesting and full of character. All of the rooms have western names. We had the Buffalo Bill room and it was so fun. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was delicious. We will definitely stay here again.

Great place to visit and stay the jacuzzi tub didn’t work and our cottage door was hard to open and the lock wasn’t working properly. It was very noisy till 1:30am with locals blasting the radio of there cars. I will try the place out again as the staff was very friendly and kind.

Super friendly staff! Rooms were very clean. The church bells nearby added to the experience. 7-11 in the parking lot was very convenient for coffee and snacks. Plus, I got to feed a hot dog to a raccoon!

Each room is in its own separate unit, spaced apart from the others. Every unit has its own private entrance, which gave it a very secluded and peaceful feel. There’s also a small porch in front of each entrance, and being surrounded by the forest made it feel like staying in a cozy cabin. I really loved the privacy and atmosphere.It’s also in a great location right in front of Lake Arrowhead Village, which was very convenient. On Saturdays, they also offer a simple complimentary breakfast. The pet fee is $25

It was our first time staying here to attend the Brewfest tasting event at the village. Hotel is close (walking distance) to the village and a 7-11 right next to it. Great for late night munchies. There was a slight incline going back to the hotel from the village but not difficult and can rest along the way. Upon arrival, lots of parking and Heather welcomed us. We got there early and just wanted to check and make sure we could park at the hotel while we headed to the village for lunch before checking in. Heather offered to check to see if we could check in early and surprisingly, our room was ready. She was very professional, friendly, and wonderful. She explained everything thoroughly with added suggestions. The room was clean and spacious. Our room had stairs leading up to it from the front door so actual room was upstairs. Refrigerator is good size and in-wall AC unit worked well. It was a hot weekend so it kept us very comfortable. Windows do open if you prefer to let fresh air in. Large jet tub was nice but we didn't use it this time. The only thing I was looking for but not available was a full size mirror, but I made do, all good. They have a restaurant onsite which is delicious. They have some unique dishes. $$$ but worth it! We will definitely be back to stay/eat in the future. Thank you for a memorable stay.
