Built in 1929 as one of three main buildings of Lake Arrowhead's first private membership resort, Club Arrowhead of the Pines.  Restored by the present owner, Cheryl Weaver, as a certified historic landmark. Arrowhead Villas is now a private neighborhood with it's own pure artesian water wells serving it's 800 resident shareholders.

The game parlour sports an antique snooker table made by J.C. Riley, Ltd. of England who is known for the tournament grade tables that he manufacturers. This table was restored by American Recreation in San Bernardino. There is also chess, table shuffleboard, old classic movies, and a sauna to bake in. 

Our Jacuzzi hot tub is hidden away in our garden and is often used by only two but will accommodate five.  What a wonderful relaxing way to enjoy champagne with that special someone.  For a real treat, submerge yourself in 98 degree bubbling water while snow falls upon you then make a mad dash for the sauna!  There won't be a tense muscle left! 

Upon arrival guests are given a tour of the inn with a bit of history, refreshments, and invited to relax. Hear about the secret tunnel that was once used by gangsters in hiding and the latest ghost story.  Meet new faces and exchange ideas. For a real treat, cuddle in our hammock under a canopy of a hundred and fifty year old Dogwood trees. 

The Wm. J. Gallery of Art featured in our library exhibits the works of local and L. A. artists.  Our present show is by Wm J. (a noted Hollywood artist and gallery owner) and show cases original color lithographs of 1800 French nursery rhymes.   A new Artist is featured every six months.
