This was the third year we have stayed at this Lake Arrowhead home for a week in the fall. We really like the home. The living room furniture is very comfortable, the gas log lighter makes it easy to light a wood fire and keep it going, the kitchen is lovely and we love the huge deck with a beautiful view of trees. It's a very nice, very clean home (even the outside table on the deck was clean). It's in a quiet neighborhood and close to Lake Arrowhead. We have already booked our stay at this home for autumn 2026.

The rooms were spacious. I think having extra blankets would have been nice. As for the kitchen, some of the bowls were dirty, but I didn’t mind washing them before using them. Not sure if someone else might have an issue with it. Also, we noticed that some switches had labels stating not to use or turn on. It would have been nice to know why or be given a heads-up on why the outdoor lights could not be used. Lastly we did find a dead bird in the fireplace.

Was an amazing experience. Truly loved the home away from home feel and decor. Beautiful property and excellent amenities. We especially loved the huge back deck that overlooked the forest.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was clean and cozy. Tons of board games and puzzles made our family nights enjoyable. Would recommend bringing a Roku stick or some sort of streaming device. Loved our stay and would book again in the future.

This property was a great overall value for anyone that wants to stay in the Arrowhead area. The house is cozy and it has a lot of nice family games, puzzles and DVD's to enjoy. Carpet could probably be replaced but that is to be expected from a pet friendly location. Overall recommended and for the value you can't beat it.

The cabin was nice. It was small and cozy. I wish the rooms had tv’s as well but there was only 1 tv in the living room. Overall the cabin itself was nice and clean .

Family Flores Getaway

We planned for a mini vacation at Lake Arrowhead instead of Big Bear for a change. It was a relaxing, fun, and adventurous time. We visited the Lake Arrowhead Village and took the Ferry. It was a Beautiful experience. We also shopped and bought duck food from the Beautiful art gallery to feed the ducks at the lake! Thank you for our stay! We are definitely returning!!

Crew lodging

Had a crew of window & door installers doing the second round of major work to our house. They actually asked if this place was available after spending 2 weeks there last year. Outside not raked. Walking on the driveway & surrounding lot was unsafe.

Rocky start, lovely stay

This is lovely house that I would have no trouble recommending or staying at again. Good neighborhood, close to lake, great deck space for relaxing. The property management company didn’t have the house ready for us as they should have. After many calls made, work done by us and them, the situation was resolved. Lake Arrowhead is a beautiful place to be in the summer!

Loved the cabin

Loved the cozy cabin... very clean... needs more kitchen towels.. an absolute must for the owners is to have WiFi and cable.. bbq and fireplace tools.. it would be nice to have a tv in the Master Bedroom...the heating system is outstanding .... downstairs bedroom mattress is terrible.. we had a beautiful Thanksgiving and a very nice experience at the Dancing Bear Cabin...early check in is a very nice gesture to allow your visitors to occupy when possible

Nice Stay

The house was clean upon arrival and nicely furnished. The upstairs bedrooms are good sized. The kitchen had most of what we needed. Downstairs bathroom appears to be updated and had better water pressure than the upstairs one. The outside deck has a nice view into the trees and is large. Some kind of repair needed for a covered hole there, but no problems with it. Location is just a short drive to the Village. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider for our next trip to the lake. High praise for the management company (Vacasa) that stayed in touch with us prior to arrival and while we were there. Thumbs up!

Lovely, comfortable, clean home

This was our second stay at the Dancing Bear Chalet. We really enjoy the large deck with the comfortable chairs, the gorgeous view onto pine trees, the big kitchen, and the fireplace with the gas log lighter. The house is in lovely location, in a very quiet neighborhood, surrounded by pines and cedars. It is very clean and comfortable. There are no stairs upon entering the house, which is great for loading and unloading luggage and fire wood. There are 2 full bathrooms - one upstairs and one downstairs. The tubs in both have a safety bar and the bathrooms have a timer heat lamp. The 2 king bed bedrooms are upstairs. Both are large rooms. The living room furniture is very comfortable. Shopping and Lake Arrowhead Village are close by. It’s a great rental home for a getaway in the mountains, and we have already booked our stay there for fall 2025.
