Pines and Ping Pong

Tucked into the pines above Lake Arrowhead, this mountain lodge is built for groups who want to be outdoors as much as they're inside. The wraparound deck delivers on that promise – mountain air, tree-lined views, and enough space to linger over morning coffee or dine under string lights once the sun drops. Back inside, vaulted ceilings and large windows keep the living space feeling connected to the forest rather than cut off from it. A full game room and infrared sauna mean rainy afternoons and post-slope evenings take care of themselves, and Lake Arrowhead Village is just four miles away.

Home truths:
* You'll need a car to make the most of this stay. The village, ski resort, and trailheads are all a short drive away, but nothing is walkable from the home.
* The home is spread across three floors, so you'll be moving between levels regularly – handy to know if anyone in your group has mobility considerations.
* Guests must be 25 years of age or older to rent this home.
* Due to this home's remote location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
* The loft adds flexible sleeping space with twin beds, making it well suited to younger guests – worth factoring in when planning who sleeps where across the three levels.
* While the home can sleep up to eleven people, the maximum occupancy is eight guests.
