Beautiful views, peaceful get away.

If you are looking to relax and destress this is the place for you. Fabulous views out every window. Not far from the village for good food, shopping and entertainment. The 1 hour boat tour was fun and informative. We will be back and already referred the Castle to friends.

The Castle was GREAT!

We really enjoyed our month in Lake Arrowhead and staying at the Castle. The location was perfect- close the the lake with a great lake view, but secluded and serene . Our home was clean, well-equipped, recently remodeled and attractive. It was exactly what we needed to relax, reset and rejuvenate! The owners were friendly, accommodating and responsive. My wife and I both commented when we were leaving, that we had gotten exactly what we were looking for from our trip- a much needed sense of peace and calm in our lives. We’ll be back!

Beautiful and Peaceful

Went up to Lake Arrowhead for a peaceful and relaxing stay in nature. Wanted a place that was a little more refined than a traditional cabin experience. It truly met our expectations. House is lovely, has all the amenities. Have to admit, super spacious overkill and amazing for just the two of us! Incredible view and very quiet! Easy to get to the all the surrounding towns. Our intention was to relax in nature, meditate and rejuvenate. Was perfect for that. It really helps to read ALL the information provide in the email we received prior to arriving as well as the notebook on the kitchen counter. Very well organized. Love that the cabinets have pictures on the inside to know where to put things back. VERY SATISFIED.

Lovely, spacious property!

Beautiful house, very clean, and easy to get in contact with hosts! Bummer the lake is for private use only, but hanging out in the house, making dinner in the gorgeous kitchen, sipping wine on the veranda, and watching movies in the living room made up for it. Great stay. Do wish I had known there was a downstairs tenant before booking but it didn't cause any real problems.

Great mountain getaway!

We needed a nice getaway for my wife’s birthday and we really hit the jackpot with this rental. The views are amazing. The beds were very comfy. It’s clear the bathrooms have been upgraded and there are three, which was great for our family. The kitchen was large, and the views from the dining room table are breathtaking. Peggy manages the place and is awesome. Being that she is from PA, she’s aces in my book. Very friendly and communicative. Some notes- the grill was not clean, so be aware of that when you go to cook on it. Also, the deck is smaller than it looks on pictures, so don’t plan to have your whole family out on it at the same time. It’s a great spot to have your morning coffee though. The oven is small, so be prepared to cook on the stove and do less oven type things. Bring paper towels and garbage bags. Third, the garage will fit a small car or very small SUV. Our Honda Accord was too long. So if you can, take as few cars as possible. Parking is limited. All in all it’s a great spot to hang out for a few days. I absolutely would book again and am already thinking of doing so soon. Thanks for having us.

Great views and very spacious

This house has gorgeous views! From sitting at the dining table enjoying dinner, or relaxing in the master bath, the views are one of a kind. The village is just a couple minute drive so the store is close by. There’s a cute toy store there near the point that the kids loved as well as a shop that sold delicious caramel apples. We would definitely book a stay here again. We stayed in early March this visit and we’re already discussing a visit back during the summer months!

Snowy Pristine views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return to this location again. The views were amazing. Due to the massive recent snowfall, the road getting there was a bit treacherous, but luckily we didn't have to leave until the end of the stay. The kids even found a street just behind the house that was closed due to snowfall, so they had their own sledding hill. Overall, we were able to work/distance learn with little disruption due to all the spaces we were able to carve out. My only comments for the homeowner are the supplies were very sparse and the cooking utensils need to be upgraded. We ran out of trash bags and dishwasher detergent as there were only three of each. For a group of 7 who home-cooked every meal, that was not sufficient. Lastly, all the pots and pans were in poor condition, with handles really loose. It was hard to prep and cook. It's a gorgeous kitchen so we were disappointed in that. But, overall, we really loved the space.

Nice and cozy with great views

We decided to take a quick trip up to Lake Arrowhead for a night and enjoyed our stay at this property. The bedrooms were a nice size and the mattresses were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and water pressure was good. The central heat was excellent and, combined with the fireplace, made the house nice and cozy. The house is laid out so that it feels larger than it actually is and would totally be comfortable for 3 couples, or families with kids. The only critiques I would give is to ensure the microwave is cleaned (it was dirty), and to toss out the half used and open condiments and other foodstuffs that previous guests have left in the kitchen cabinets. I'm assuming that the owner leaves them for convenience, but I really don't think anyone will be using them and it makes the cabinets seem a bit messy. Also, the bathroom rugs were a bit dusty and could probably be replaced with light floor towels like at hotels. The other minor isssues we had were taken care of quickly by the handyman. We couldn't find the garage door remote, but we didn't need it anyway. I'd recommend this property for a quick trip or even for an extended stay.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

We were thrilled with this beautiful property. The house was perfect for 6 girlfriends who wanted to enjoy the company of good friends and gorgeous views. We were so happy to welcome the first snow fall of the season cozied up by the fire or out on the balcony. These San Diego girls were a little worried to shovel the 12 inches on snow, but the property mgrs made sure we had a clear path on the way out. Thank you for a wonderful 10th anniversary trip for these tired moms. We are rested and ready to bring on the busy holiday season.

Cleanliness

We were troubled by the little things that seem to make the place appear dirty. Kitchen: Inside shelves and drawers appeared dirty and stained. Bottom of freezer had some juice in it as well as a shelf in frig had some junk still spilled in it, kitchen table still little dirty as well as the placemats sticking to the table. Rooms: diffusers were dirty, trash can in one bathroom not emptied. Just made us very nervous about things looking dirty. Remote to fan in living room didn’t work. Bench seat out front door broke you cannot sit in. Coffee maker glass pot didn’t fit right had to shimmy a spoon in it to work. Only given two hand towels for all four bathrooms. Had to use a bath towel for hands. We will not leave a bad review. Just thought all those items mentioned to you will help you see eyes of us visitors how we see. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Melhiem/Albert

Host profile image
We love the mountains! We live in Orange County, CA and live life in the fast lane. We can't wait to escape to the mountains every chance we get. We started our short term rentals to share our passion for the mountains and beautiful, well designed spaces with people like you.

Why they chose this property

We acquired the Castle at an auction. It was a sad Castle because it had been vacant since 2007 when the market crashed and the owners at the time let it go. The bank owned it and finally in 2017, put it up for auction. We discovered it while renovating another property in the area and were walking the dog in a new area. We couldn't get into the house but managed to climb up a ladder to look in a window and were amazed at what we views!! We were immediately captured. We were able to acquire the Castle at the auction and began renovations, finishing them just in time for Thanksgiving 2017. Why this property? It has majestic views that are priceless and it was built by a German engineer and is the most solid residence that I've ever experienced. The house was left with dishes, silverware, thousands of books, personal letters, and much more. We were able to get to the know the builders of the house through these letters (they passed away years ago), and we wanted to make it come alive again and share it with as many people as we can. A guest recently posted this review on another website. Here is what Pedro had to say..."Back in January, I wanted to give my father in law a life experience rather than merely participate in the event of celebrating his birthday this past April 7. The conundrum was this: What do you choose as an experience for a man that has pretty much done everything, has traveled much of the world several times, lives overlooking the blue Pacific from the Malibu cliffs, and is not much into senseless, materialistic consumerism or technology and tech gadgets, as we know them? I remembered that he once had told me that he at one point though of buying a secondary home in Lake Arrowhead, and that he loved the place. (Continued below under UNique Benefits)

What makes this property unique

I also remembered that he had not been to the area in at least 10 years, so I made it my goal to find a ‘perfect’ house for the entire family (6 of us, as the main nucleus) to celebrate and honor him, on or near the lake. When I set the parameters my search for the area, over 70 listings showed up as part of the search. It didn’t take much time for me, though. My eyes automatically fixated on the fourth listing. The views were simply mesmerizing and, until I actually arrived at The Castle this weekend, I thought that perhaps Photoshop had been an enhancer, if not a co-creator of such a magnificent setting! How very wrong I was and how very happy being wrong made me and my family! The views!!! YES, THE VIEWS!!! They are simply ridiculous from every window in this place and from every room! Including the bathrooms. Simply stunning! And outside. Oh, the surrounding environs…! Prepare to gasp here too at the breathtaking gorgeousness of the natural setting. If you are looking for spectacular, gasp and drop your jaw open majesty and beauty, then do not think too much or doubt at all: JUMP INTO DECISIVE ACTION and book this place as soon as you come across its listing! As if the Nature and the house itself as as a physical space were not glorious enough, a huge realization came to me as I went from room to room, inspecting, admiring and looking for something to perhaps dislike or improve upon… It became clear to me that The Castle is not a transitional lodging nor a rental space: THIS IS A HOME. An exquisitely conceived, decorated, maintained and lovingly cared for home! Everything here is top notch. Everything here is spotless. The attention to detail, and the extras in this home are as ridiculous as the views it boasts. I cannot extol Lisa’s role enough as the keeper and facilitator in this amazing experience that is The Castle at Lake Arrowhead.
