Clean, charming place with amazing views. Jetted tub next to a window overlooking the lake was nothing short of spiritual. Responsive and attentive hosts. Will visit again!

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.

Will recommend to friends and family. Plan to return in winter with family.

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.

A beautiful house with a stunning view. We enjoyed our stay with our friends and we recommend this place.

Absolutely the experience to be in there is unique

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!

Beautiful view and well kept property. Comfy beds. Would recommend and will stay again.

This was the perfect getaway for my daughters birthday with my close friend and kids. Everything we could have imagined. Will definitely go back. Amazing host.

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.

After we left they tried to charge extra money , for the stuff that we didn’t do , or we already payed for.

We enjoyed our stay. Thank you

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.

Castle was cozy and views of lake and mountains with snow was absolutely breathtaking!

The place is stunning and we couldn't have had a better stay. Check in was a breeze and everything was accurately "as listed". View is amazing especially from the master bath tub! Great for kids too.

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.

Here’s how I will start my review. I am not a fan of renting homes to vacation. I live for luxury hotels and all the bells and whistles that comes with these properties. But...COVID. The Covid factor is a game changer - and suddenly renting a home wasn’t such a bad option. Our family arrived at the castle and immediately felt at home. Accessing the property was easy and the check in process was seamless. The neighborhood is quiet and the over all vibe was quite and friendly. The pictures and description of the property is accurate - the view is understated and the feeling of peace and tranquility is priceless. The open space layout of the home is very practical. Everyone in our party found an area of the home to settle into - zoom school was in session, work meetings were attended by the professionals and the senior in our family found a place to remove herself from all of it. Yet the shared space gave us the opportunity to share quality time. The view from the bath in the queen bedroom is breathtaking and the bath tub was utilized everyday - coffee, soak, wine, soak - repeat. Literally stared out the wind endlessly watching the boats go by. The administrative process of this vacation was equally easy - Lisa and her team made sure we had everything we need and answered all of our questions in a timely manor. There was written instructions for EVERYTHING! If you’re worried about COVID? They were diligent about screening, reminding and reviewing all necessary protocols they have in place. This gave us the control and confidence we needed to keep our bubble safe and healthy. It was the exact vacation our family needed. We all agreed we would return and would recommend this home to our circles.

This stay is worth it just for the gorgeous views! From the terrace, lounge area, bathtub, bedroom etc. It is really beautiful! The house is well kept, clean and modern. The kitchen is nice and spacious. The location was perfect. Welcome packet provided detailed instructions. Management communicated promptly. I would recommend this stay for couples, families or friends. It's really for anyone who needs a beautiful mountain escape. Perfect 1 night getaway for me.

Just a beautiful, extremely clean home with a great view of the lake. Would rent again.

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

The photos of the Castle are very accurate. Incredible unobstructed views of the forest and the lake and a very spacious and comfortable living quarters. we needed to get away for the first time since COVID lockdown and the ambiance and super comfortable accommodations ( including very firm and luxurious beds, large screen TV with Netflix in a very open and large living room, huge family dining room and kitchen) was just what the therapist ordered. we could have easily stayed another 1-2 nights. and while the signal in the mtns was spotty, Lisa was very accessible (once we got the last digit of her phone number - double check it on your welcome packet!) You won’t be disappointed. we had a germaphobe on our trip and she even came around to feeling comfortable in current conditions because the house was so clean. ( note: you have to use the bathtub that faces the lake. but check immediately to make sure the stopper is there. we ended up using the kitchen sink stopper but the real stopper would have been more secure) This place gets an A!

This property is private, at the end of a dead end street, can't see any neighbors once inside the property just trees and beautiful lake view from every window! I did not want to get out of the jetted tub which also has a stunning view of the lake!! Very clean and comfortable for a large group or a mall one. We had a fantastic time, next time we will stay longer.

We had a good time, but the house had no air condition and was very hot. The fans were the only way to cool the house. There were some things in the house that did not work.; the refrigerator worked, but the freezer did not. The wine cooler did not work. The jacuzzi tub did not heat properly. The garbage disposal rubber cup was missing. The cleaning ladies did a good job. We enjoyed being able to go swimming in the lake.

I've been to plenty VRBO rental properties and I have to say this rental did not meet our expectations. Please see the list as to why myself and my guests were disappointed. ~NO AIR CONDITIONING (whole house fan does not work) Mind you it was 100 degrees in Lake Arrowhead the entire duration of our stay. ~Dishes were dirty, pots and pans rusty ~Empty hand soap in main bathroom ~Dishwasher Pods-empty box ~Patio Furniture broken ~Kitchen cabinet drawers are broken ~No platers or mixing bowls (bring your own) ~Car can't fit in garage ~Not enough bath towels ~Only 2 kitchen towels ~No hot tub (hot tub stated in house) Only jetted bath in bedroom ~Had to keep switching out batteries in bedroom fan remote because batteries were not working. NOT IMPRESSED! Needs some MAJOR TLC!

We had a wonderful one night stay at the palace and it truly deserves its name. The views are spectacular and calming and the house is charming. We were greeted by a teddy bear and a suit of armour, which shows the loving detail. The downstairs as well as the upstairs has the amazing views. It was built in a way that you have the views from almost everywhere. We spent the first hours, after driving, on the balcony. The view just drew us there.

My family and I stayed at The Castle for three days. The Castle is a close drive from the Village and nestled in a quiet neighborhood. From the moment we stepped onto the property it was clear there was a sense of pride in ownership. The location was clean and manicured. The interior is a great combination of peaceful and functional. We enjoyed the ease of access to everything. I truly enjoyed cooking in the very large kitchen while listening to my family playing games in the living space adjacent. It’s easy to imagine winter holiday trips to this location. Thanks to Lisa for her amazing attention to detail and being incredibly responsive!

Property was as described, good internet and Netflix. It was 32 when we arrived at 4PM and 60 when we went to bed, wish the heater worked a little better. Our Honda did not fit in the garage, made for a cold morning and scraping ice the next day. There is a tenant on the first floor, felt like an apartment not a private home, the tenant partied in to the night and we could not get our children to sleep until 1AM. I think the kids learned some new Cuss words, the drunk residents were fighting and screaming all night.

This property was absolutely perfect for our family stay! It was clean, comfortable and very spacious! The views are just simply amazing and just as described, "majestic!". We all felt very welcome here for our short "staycation". Hoping to come back another time for a longer stay.

We had a great experience, my family and I loved the castle, it’s very peaceful and spacious. Thanks Minerva

Everything was so clean and the view was amazing. We were close enough to groceries and fun but with the comfort of not being on a busy street.

The Castle is well laid out with a spacious kitchen and dining area. It is within a 10 minute driving distance to Arrowhead Village and the view of Lake Arrowhead is great to wake up to each morning!

The property was absolutely beautiful, especially with all the Christmas decorations the hosts were kind enough to put up. It was a warm and inviting environment all throughout the home. The kitchen, living room, and dining room were all big enough for a large group of 12 people. But I think the best part of this house was the view; overlooking the forest and lake, waking up to it with all of your favorite people is really an indescribable feeling. Would 10/10 stay here again, and recommend it to anyone with a large group, looking for a fantastic time.
