Please note that access to this home does require a 4WD vehicle during the winter season. The neighborhood roads are not always completely plowed when a storm is occurring, so it is very important to drive cautiously and to be prepared. For nights "out on the town", the mountain does offer "Uber" like services if needed however they are limited. The best option for this would be the RIDE service; be sure to call ahead. Even though most shopping/entertainment/dining is relatively close by, it is all located off of one of our main highways so you will need to drive. Lake Arrowhead Village is 4.5 miles away or about a 12 minute Drive. Blue Jay Village is 3.1 miles away or about a 12 minute Drive. SkyPark at Santa's Village is 5.9 miles away or about a 14 minute drive. Snow Valley Ski Resort is 17 miles away or about a 32 minute drive. All of these times are approximate and without traffic or weather delays.
