Arrowhead Tree Top Lodge

I went and took photos with my wedding party and husband at this lodge. They have a gazebo, gorgeous views, and a cute trail. The pine trees on this property are breath taking. I would recommend anyone looking to take photographs for weddings, family portraits, etc come here.
I will definitely consider coming back to arrowhead on my 1yr anniversary and staying at tree top! I will update with pictures as soon as I can.

Stayed here for my girlfriend’s birthday some time ago. Everyone complaining in these reviews is a huge baby. It’s cute and rustic and not a Hilton, and for some people that’s an issue, but to me it’s a plus.
Great location in walking distance of town area, DOG FRIENDLY which is super important to me, short hiking trail near the rooms that the dogs loved to run around, and the room we stayed in had a little living room and even a kitchen so we could cook our own meals while we were there. Everyone who worked here was very friendly as well.
It’s a cool spot and we will definitely stay again if we return to lake arrowhead!

This place isn’t as bad as the reviews make it. Maybe they are old reviews. We have towels, complimentary shampoo and soap, bed seems clean and no dust. Great little place for a weekend. It’s January so maybe the helps with parking.
What I like.
Dog friendly. We have a pit and a little dog. No issues with the breed.
We have the private deck so that’s nice.
Firewood is supplied in a trash bin so it stays dry.
Secluded feeling.
The little nature trail out back.
Tv swivels so you can watch it while you eat or use the bathroom if you must.
Great location to the village.
What I didn’t like.
The shower. I’m 6 foot. The shower head is at my shoulders so I have to squat to wash my hair.
Main for to the desk is locked all the time. You have to ring the door bell to get help.
The wall heater makes popping noises when it turns off. Freaks my dogs out.
Sheets are from the 40s you would think.
Shower door barely closes.
Coffee pot but no coffee.
Overall this place isn’t bad. Overpriced maybe, but they allowed my pit so I don’t complain much since a lot of places still hold on to the stereo type. We had tp, towels, hot water, parking, a bed, and had fun. I guess if you’re really picky then you can find more to hate, but since we were just sleeping here and hitting the trails and sightseeing during the day, most of the décor and other stuff is tolerable. But since motel 6 allows dogs and they give you coffee and better upkeep I’ll try and stay there next time. But I would start here again as a second option.

You lied. It’s cute but that’s it. I showed up you said you couldn’t get ahold of me. You still had my money but had given my room away. You then said you had a suite 160 more for two days. I felt I had no choice arrowhead and big bear were packed. No fireplace stuck in a room made for 6. It’s old, the Wi-​Fi won’t make up its mind if it wants to work. I wrote this earlier but am now adding on. It is 9:09 pm and I feel like I live somewhere that 20 people live in an apartment. It is so loud. So not only did I get ripped off, the Wi-​Fi won’t work and I have 20 new roommates.

We booked our room, for a spontaneous unplanned trip, over the phone with Elizabeth, who was very helpful in identifying what room would work best for our family and our needs. Unfortunately shortly after making our reservations there was a death in our family and we had to cancel our plans. Elizabeth was very helpful in canceling our reservations, and even though it was an untimely cancelation per their reservation terms, she worked with us to provide a refund (minus a small processing fee) once the room was booked by other guests. I’m sorry we didn’t take the trip, and we didn’t experience the lodge first hand, but Elizabeth and her husband Jose did help us out in our situation and we appreciate it!

Avoid at all costs. This place is terrible. I would rather sleep in my car next time than have to stay here. It’s dirty, run down, and a sorry excuse for a lodge. There is dust and soot and dirt all over the room. Bathrooms flush all night. Fridges do not work despite repeated requests to management. Wifi doesn’t work in certain rooms, despite their advertising that it does. Not sure how they have stayed in business for so long.
ALSO — don’t be fooled by the «two» stars you see on here and think it may be tolerable. Look at anyone that rated this above a 1 star. They have at most 4 reviews, and that usually means they are likely just the owners themselves or friends and family who were asked to sign on and review. Trust me when I say it’s only a 1 star (and that’s only because there is no «zero» star).

I’m sorry to say that the place is really run down. We spent 2 nights there because our usual place was booked. This place ran about $ 200 a night and as my nephew articulated, «It’s a Dump».
The wi-​fi did not work, the light bulb went out, the toilet stopped flushing, the TV remote did not work, dirty bathroom, no phones to call the front desk, spider in the bed… and the list goes on.
The bathroom had some type of odor that radiated out into the room and the blankets seemed musty.
The towels in the bathroom were stained.
It’s a shame because it seems to be family run and the people seemed very nice. Unfortunately, I would never stay there again.

I saw some very mixed reviews on this place, but the price was right so I decided to give it a shot. Regretted it. Worn, stained bedspreads and sheets. Uncomfortable, mismatched furniture, looks like things from garage sales or discards from the side of the road. Creepy artwork, including one of a little girl in old fashioned clothing that I was pretty sure was going to come to life at 2 a.m. Coffee pot but no coffee. No lotion or conditioner. No hairdryer. This is the motel that made me decide, once and for all, that I’m done with cheap motels. There is a reason they are so cheap.

We stayed two nights. The first night was OK, but we were unable to use the pool because the County Health Department closed it after testing the water. The maids were very nice. We often had to go seek them out when we needed something because the office was usually closed.

Not a bad place. It’s older and seems family run. They do an ok job. Rooms are pretty nice. Bed area seemed clean and comfortable but bathroom was a little dirty and had mildew. Private patio was nice but staff kept opening gate. They did make a fire though. A little more updated and cleaner it’d be really nice.

Super friendly staff made sure we felt welcomed! Cozy cabins made it a great place to stay and the location is very close to the village. Definitely will come back.

I can imagine how in chanting this place once was. Unfortunately time has passed since its heyday. We found it dusty with dated appliances and fixtures. Disappointed in the lack of WiFi. Now if those things don’t bother you, it is likely a suitable place for the night with the price reflecting the quality.

Second time I have been here and it’s great! The owners are friendly and the rooms are nice and they are always upgrading and keeping the place nice. A comfy setting for any occasion. I give them my high recommendation

Had a Groupon for this hotel. Check in was at 3PM. We arrived at 2:55, office was locked. The maid phoned a lady and gave the phone to me. The lady stated that check in was at 3 and she would be there in 10 minutes. There was one other couple waiting to check in. The woman who checked us in was nice enough. We were assigned a room near the pool. The pool had a black tarp over it held down by rocks. A «stream» runs through the property, the steam is filled with trash. Upon entering the. room my husband stated he was hesitant to sit on the bed. I told him I thought the bedspread was just warn but upon inspection it indeed was dirty. Throw pillows on the bed wre well worn and looked dirty. The bathroom’s wall had been repaired and patched but never repainted. The shampoo was half used. The bench at the end of the bed was stained. We decided we could not sleep here. We knew we would have to forfeit our money as they make that perfectly clear ahead of time (now I know why). The woman offered to show us another room but in an establishment with two rooms rented we couldn’t imagine any would be better. This room was not inexpensive, -$ 119 per night through Groupon on a Tuesday! We drove down the hill back home.

Was just up there for one night and very disappointed with room. We were left with about ¼ roll of toilet paper– no other rolls… Office opens at 8– so we had to wait for refill!!! Blood stains on underside of comforter– large stain on one of chairs. Sheets DID NOT smell clean. Pricey for room– never again.

We didn’t expect to be in Lake Arrowhead for the night, but decided to detour there after a night in Palm Springs. We had no place to stay but figured it wouldn’t be too difficult finding something. We checked three different places prior to winding up at the Tree Top Lodge. The price was more or less what other places were charging. We paid about $ 140 for a Friday night.
We were a little surprised when we stopped in and asked to see one of the rooms and the woman at the front desk (Manager/​owner I presume) said that she does not show rooms. The sign outside said it was AAA approved so we took our chances. We both understood why she didn’t show the rooms upon stepping inside. Very old carpet, bedding and fixtures. Maybe they are going for the whole mountain rustic feel, but they are missing the mark, that’s for sure.
The property itself is very quaint, but seemed to be cluttered and junky. We noticed ladders laying around up against buildings, full trash cans, an old RV stored in the parking lot and other random items strewn about. And we like Halloween just as much as the next people, but this place goes a little overboard with the decorations.
We had to just laugh at the sign in the bathroom stating not to throw toilet paper in the toilet. We kind of wondered where they wanted us to put it.
Overall the place was tolerable for one night just passing through, but there must be better options in the area.

I would think twice about staying here. I reserved this whole lodge for my corporate event and it was a headache dealing with the owners. First they rented out a room even though we booked it. Then they say the guest can’t swim but they list they have a pool. Then they charge me for blowing up my jumper and charge my guests extra to check in. The manager was walking around the venue during the event taking photos and videos. Extremely upset that we were not giving the service needed after spending so much money and giving them so much business. She insulted our guests; one incident was one of our guest lost her phone she said her maid won’t take her phone because they are white girls. Next year a different venue. If your new to lake arrowhead stay at the resort next to the village absolutely gorgeous and they treat you with respect.

1. Sheets from 1980s discount store
2. Towels from 1990s, torn, and like sandpaper.
3. Décor from 1970s Motel 6
4. Shower with warm-​ish water.
5 Shower knob that takes the strength of a bodybuilder to pull out in order to get the water to flow.
6. «Do Not throw toilet paper in the toilet»?! Really?
7. No phones in the room to call front desk.
8. «Open» says the sign at the Office but office front door always locked.
9. All doors to room (front and back) locked. Key only opens 1 of them. Huh?
10. Lighting is terrible.
11. Don’t get me started on the knotty pine.
12. «Resort Fee» not included.
13. Yes, beach access. But please leave $ 100 CASH deposit for beach permit.
Overall, we overpaid. It’s expensive for what it is.
To those who gave it 5 Stars: I don’t know where you are accustomed to residing or vacationing. Perhaps you are used to living in a broken down RVs, like the one sitting in this place’s parking lot. (*charming*).
But there is NO WAY this place deserves 5 stars.
YES, it is quiet when the kids are not bouncing around and screaming in the pool (which is at the center of the plot and most of the cabins surround it).
Never again.

They have a 7-​day cancelation policy and they get VERY UPSET (actually yelled at me) if you try to cancel!
So make sure you’re sure you can make the trip because they’ll charge you FULL PRICE if you don’t cancel within the 7 days.
There’s some kind of sewage issue so the bathroom has a bad odor.
We had to go outside and ask for the hot water heater to be turned on as we were all taking cold showers.
The bedspreads are old and need replacing as does the carpet.
The outside is cute and very rustic.
But not worth the price in my opinion.

This little place in Arrowhead exceeded all of our expectations. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The overall location is beautiful. Within walking distance from the Arrowhead Village and their local market. Grills at our disposal. Plenty of space to hang out on the patio and they’re still expanding. The couple that owns the place are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Definitely a place we’re going back to.
