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.

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!!

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.

Great stay in a very comfortable cabin

We stayed at this property for 4 nights in October and loved it. It’s probably the most comfortable home we ever rented. The things we loved: The deck, beautiful view from the deck, and the deck was dog-proofed (no danger of our little poodle getting out); great kitchen with the prettiest dishes; super comfy electric reclining sofa; 2 roomy bedrooms with king-size beds (we had a choice where to sleep); big fireplace with gas loglighter; large TV & DVD player. There is no cable/streaming service but we had brought DVDs with us and enjoyed some of our favorite films. The home was very clean, a little off the road, easy to locate even in the dark which is when we arrived. The location is great, in a quiet neighborhood within 5 minutes from the Blue Jay area (grocery store & fast food) and 10-15 minutes from Lake Arrowhead Village. The one improvement we would recommend is a larger coffeemaker that makes more than 2 cups of coffee. We really enjoyed staying in this home and plan to rent it again for our annual fall getaway.

We give it a B-

Adorable little cabin! However... There were a few downsides: -VERY dated kitchen utensils, pots, and pans. Most of the Pans were too dingy to use. -Someone removed the Grill Guard and drip tray from the bbq, so everything got majorly charred and was a mess. -Pictures of property show table and umbrella on outside deck- NOT THERE! We were so excited to dine outside but severely disappointed. -The DVD player skips or doesn't read disc on EVERY movie. We brought our own and it's a good thing we did because their "library" is about 20 films; half of which are religious based. -Upon purchasing stay, it advertised A/C- doesn't have it. -Also advertised close to kayaking - nobody around rents kayaks. (We asked support, and checked into it thoroughly) Don't get me wrong, we absolutely loved the location, cleanliness, and coziness of the Cabin. We were just REALLY disappointed in the "false advertising" and lack of basic amenities.

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!

Peace and Quiet

We were happy with our stay in this little home in the mountains. The view from the deck was wonderful! The place was clean but it did have some spots on the carpet and a little smell. The screen on the bathroom window on the bottom floor needs to be replaced because it has been broken. The patio blinds are also needing repair. Also, the can opener was broken. There is a patio chair on the deck that needs to be replaced and the deck could use a touch up of cleaning. The support team and management were excellent. They were quick to respond and very friendly. This was close to the golf course which was perfect for me! I will probably return to this home again. ~J
