Nestled a mile high in California’s scenic San Bernardino Mountains, Lake Arrowhead is the perfect destination for appreciating natural beauty and it can be enjoyed all year, regardless of the season. It’s a scenic escape from downtown Los Angeles less than 90 miles away and caters to everyone from families to lovebirds. For your stay, choose from a variety of Lake Arrowhead cabin rentals as they offer great views, space for adults and children alike, and privacy that can’t be beat.
Climate
Lake Arrowhead is a unique Southern California location because it experiences four distinct seasons. During the summer months, high temperatures generally reach the 80s and are significantly cooler than cities along the Valley floor. In the winter, daytime temperatures hover around 50 degrees and some 80 inches of snow fall between November and March. Tucked away in the wild, Lake Arrowhead vacation rentals are ideal for enjoying the fresh, mountain air and comfortable temperatures.
Things to Do
Although spending time outdoors at Lake Arrowhead is a given, the season often affects what activities are available. During the warmer months, hikers can enjoy a variety of trails that vary in difficulty. A portion of the challenging Pacific Crest Trail runs through Lake Arrowhead, and the Deep Creek Hot Springs Trail leads to hot spring pools that families can enjoy. Other popular activities open to the public include water-skiing and kayaking and the Arrowhead Queen Lake Tour is a great way to view the surrounding beauty via an elegant paddlewheel boat. For animal-lovers, Wildhaven Ranch gives visitors a chance to see local wildlife up close and personal. During the colder months, pristine slopes draw avid skiers and snowboarders to the area. Resorts like Snow Valley and Big Bear are also within driving distance.
Shopping & Dining
The Lake Arrowhead Village is the hot spot for shopping and dining, and it’s the commercial hub where visitors can stock up on essentials for their Lake Arrowhead vacation rental. The village’s charming Swiss chalet-style buildings have earned Lake Arrowhead its nickname as “The Alps of Southern California.” Here, the streets are lined with factory outlets and waterfront boutiques. For fine-dining, The Grill at Antlers Inn has a cozy atmosphere perfect for a romantic evening. Kids will love the pizza at LouEddies and a walk through Willow Woods Park will make any wait for a table fly. If you’re in the mood for lighter fare, try The Grapevine, a neighborhood wine lounge with an extensive wine list and craft beer selection. Sip your drink and munch on a variety of cheeses on the back deck overlooking Lake Arrowhead.
Events
Holidays are a popular time to visit Lake Arrowhead and the community holds many festive events, such as the Village Easter Egg Hunt, annual Fourth of July fireworks over the lake, a lively Oktoberfest, and Santa’s Tree Lighting Ceremony. No need to fret if you’re not staying for a holiday, though. From May to September, the Lake Arrowhead Village hosts the free Summer Concert Series each weekend. In August, cyclists will appreciate Tour de Lake Arrowhead, a scenic ride past lakes, trees and forests. You can also plan your trip around seasonal farmers’ markets, the Antique & Classic Wooden Boat Show, and the Annual Fireman’s Bonfire.
