Big house right on the lake with plenty of water toys (kayaks, SUPs, canoes) to take out and private dock to fish off of. Our family of 4 stayed with our friends (also family of 4) for the week. Both sets of kids are 7 and 10. Lots of space to spread out. On the smaller and more quiet lake in the area, beach to easily paddle to from the house which was fantastic. We made fires, read by the water, lots of games to play. Sadly we didn't discover how fun the pool table was until the day before leaving when it was rainy. Nice area to get away from the kids while they hung out upstairs. Area drivers are courteous, giving walkers and bicyclists plenty of room and waving. My only complaint is the intense and overwhelming set of rules and regulations. I can understand they have probably been burned in the past but I would recommend tuning it down. Email just prior had a lot in it, this was repeated and then some in the house binder along with additional written in rules starred and bolded and then I received a couple texts reiterating the same. Some wear and tear should be expected when renting out your house to others, especially with children. We were careful to abide by them as much as possible but it added some stress to the visit in the beginning. The instructions to "double and triple check the house is locked" and don't shout the door code to others for our safety made it sound like a high crime area however we barely saw anyone else the entire time we were there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay ay "Sweptaway," The house is charming, clean, well-appointed, and spacious for 8 occupants (although the 8 sleeping spaces are split between 3 bedrooms, which may or may not work well for the composition of your party). We made regular use of deck, grill, fire pit, hot tub, pool table, foosball, ping pong table, and flotilla of small boats including standup paddle boards, kayaks, and canoe. The sunsets viewed from the deck or the dock were glorious.

Property was extremely clean. Everything was as described. We’ve stayed in this community 4 years now and this was our third different house - and by far our favorite. It’s on the smaller lake and was SO quiet and peaceful. Lisa was very easy to get in touch with if needed. We had no issues whatsoever with our stay. Can’t wait until next year!!!

My family had a very relaxing week at Swept Away, which was exactly what we needed. We loved having all of the amenities available on the property and not having to leave at all. We enjoyed morning coffee on the dock, kayaking, the hot tub, fire pit, pool table and everything else it had to offer. Communication with Lisa made everything much easier so we could enjoy our week. The only bad part was having our vacation end.

Rental vacation properties like this are rare: private lakefront facing west, dock, boats, hammocks, swings, hot tub, pool table and other games, room to spread out, stocked kitchen, comfortable beds... I'm sure there's much more I'm forgetting. The sunsets, however, are unforgettable. The Lake Arrowhead community has lovely beaches and pools but we ended up spending almost all of our time at the house. I highly recommend this home and appreciate the care and communications from owners Lisa and Michael. 10/10!

Wonderful lakefront property. Morning coffee by the lake, fishing right from the dock, kayaks available, hot tub, beautiful sunset views.

Our family had a great weekend here! Description was spot on. Place was super clean! It had everything we needed and more. Highly recommend!

My family, (husband, mid twenty something daughter and son and their significant others) Stayed at Swept Away for this past Memorial Day weekend for my 60th birthday. The house and yard were spotless! And everything was so cheerfully painted and decorated! It was plenty big enough for the 6 of us and we had everything we needed already there! We didn't need to go anywhere! We spent such amazing, bonding family moments right on the property having coffee sitting by the lake on the swings, playing outdoor ping pong, laying in the two hammocks and around the firepit. We also spent a lot of time in the hot tub which was actually HOT and the jets ALL worked! Mostly we spent time on the lounge chairs and the dock and on paddle boards and kayaks. The kids played pool and we saw deer, a ton of butterflies and and Eagle! The sunsets were so lovely every evening as well! We grilled and cooked in the well stocked kitchen. If I were to build a lake house, it would be exactly like this! We will definitely be back! It was a perfect, Magical, long weekend and we were all sad to leave the space! I'm the number one fan of this lake house!
