UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge

Great location with gorgeous views of the lake. Nice pool and property.

In the wilderness

We have stayed at this property three other times and have always had a wonderful time reconnecting with family. This time, we stayed in a unit that wasn’t as well maintained and had very slow wifi. Views were beautiful and walking the property still great.

Overall a great stay

everything was fine

Great!

Additionally, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the staff for their kindness and support during our trip. We faced some hardships on the road, and they went above and beyond to comfort us in so many ways. Their genuine care and effort to make us feel safe and welcomed truly meant the world to us. It’s rare to find such heartfelt hospitality, and it made our stay even more special.

One of the best experiences of my life! Lake Arrowhead UCLA Lodge is truly a hidden gem—a sacred sanctuary nestled in the mountains. From the moment you arrive, the staff welcomes you with warmth and genuine hospitality, making you feel right at home. The accommodations are cozy, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding nature. Every detail reflects a commitment to comfort and quality, preserving the lodge’s charm and excellence for over 40 years. The food is exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great care. Whether it’s a hearty breakfast or a delicious dinner, every meal feels nourishing and satisfying. What makes this place so special is its tranquility. It’s a retreat from the noise of everyday life, offering a peaceful and rejuvenating experience. I’m grateful for how well they’ve preserved its essence over the decades, keeping it a place of true relaxation and connection. I can’t recommend it enough!

We requested rooms nearby and were delighted to receive not only side-by-side accommodations but also a private area just for us. Tatiana at the front desk provided exceptional service, making our stay even more enjoyable.

This is truly a hidden gem. Never knew this place existed. It has so much to offer for the whole family. This place is huge and gorgeous. Some of the amenities: Hiking, swimming (outdoor pool and large indoor spa) basketball, tennis , pickle ball (equipment included) 24 hr gym (with peloton) a zen deck (beautiful lake view),a tree deck ,rock climbing , baseball field, fireplace in every room, deck with table outside front door of your room, the cutest lobby with coffee and tea along side of an abundance of seating and multiple fireplaces,weekend events for the family (movies and crafts) a large outdoor fire pit with somore kits , omg so much more. Now on to the staff, by far in the top five best I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Everyone was so genuinely kind and so helpful. Ok but the biggest surprise was the amazing food! Not a huge selection but , a three option four course meal that far surpasses most all restaurant I have been to. We recently went on a Disney cruise that is know for great food but has nothing on this culinary genius they have in the kitchen. I can not wait to go back.

Aming staff experience, Mike from security went above and beyond. Dinner staff A++ so accommodating and helpful. Front desk was kind and informative. So many activities at this lodge. We will be coming back in the summer.

N/a

Really cool set up, very friendly staff. A few ants in the bathroom, which was gross, but otherwise clean and nice. Would recommend and go back.

Wonderful property. So peaceful and beautiful

We visited for the first time and had an amazing time. The grounds are beautiful, big rooms, great food and service. The kids loved the hot tub and arts and crafts activities. The village is close by with great food and shopping as well. We will definitely be back.

They are just not prepared to offer hospitality to their non-student guests. Check in was a major endeavor taking 20mminutes on a reserved room. Power went out, and they had no alternative or back up plans. Since power is out very frequently, I asked them for a for a list of restaurants and establishments that had back-up generators, They said "What a good idea" but had none. I was surprised that there wa sno TV whatsoever. It was NCAA Football Championships. They told me since 25% of their guests are students, they chose not to have TV's. What about the higher-paying 75%. I had a flat tire, they had no references for me to call. I'm surely not the 1st person who needed car service. All electricity was out 1st night, but they still charged mt "Resort Fee" for hot tub & fitness center even though they were down. The next night, a group of 14 teens took over the fitness center & hot tubs. Posted rules clearly state no more that 6 to 8 people in area and must be 18 and over. When I complained in person to front desk, the man laughed and sai "I know - huh?" Their food menu is ridiculous. One item pre night that is not even mainstream. My son did not eat here all 3 nights - doesn't eat liver of mushroom steak. Bar menu even worse.Why not burgers, dogs, microwaved pizza, fries, etc for kids and the other 90% of your paying guests? Very, very bad experience and waste of $250/night. Nice location - hope they can get their stuff together soon.

I highly recommend this location, especially for large groups. We booked four rooms for family and friends visiting from out of town, and everyone enjoyed their stay. I plan to return again soon.

I spent a night with the family. The structure was beyond expectations, perfect for a weekend in the mountains between the lake and the snow.

Beautiful property, will plan on going back soon maybe in the summer

Amazing place to spend the weekend with the family especially if its snowing
