The staff at Dogwood Cabins were great & easy to work with. Very accommodating. The home was great. Perfect for multi family use. Beautiful views. The stairs from the home lead directly down to the ALA hiking trail and also the private dock, where there is a small beach and clean water to jump into, at the end of the dock! We had a great time! Would definitely stay again!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home in Lake Arrowhead! The lake views from almost every room were absolutely breathtaking — even more stunning than the photos. The private dock was a dream, and we loved being able to walk right down to the water. The house itself was beautiful, stylish, and incredibly comfortable — truly exceeded our expectations. The host was outstanding: very responsive and took care of a couple small issues within hours of us reaching out. That level of care and attention really made the experience seamless. One small heads-up for future guests: the kitchen is functional, but the cookware, pans, and cutlery are pretty basic. If you plan on cooking, you may want to bring your own essentials. We’re already planning our return trip. Highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque getaway!

You feel like this place is too good to be true! We had a great experience! The place was A peaceful and picturesque. Prettier than the photos show. There was about a four story hike down to the lake, but well worth it! I recommend bringing floats and a pump to enjoy the lake! The kitchen was the perfect size and I loved that there was just one small tv downstairs it made it so the kids went outside. The town was very cute and tons of tips in their book. We will definitely be back!

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.
