The small Alpine Community of Lake Arrowhead, California is truly a "world apart." Less than 2 hours from most of Southern California, Lake Arrowhead is easy to reach for a quick weekend trip. Located at 5000 feet, the drive up is easy and the weather is temperate: snow storms come through, look beautiful, then melt. Maybe you've visited yourself?Almost anyone who has spent a weekend in a mountain cabin or lodge has dreamed of owning own of their own. Piecing the details together, you can own a family get-a-way and let it pay for itself each year...maybe even generate extra income. Purchasing a second home or vacation rental can seem like a big undertaking. I know this is how I felt when we bought our Lake Arrowhead home. Now that I've owned one for 15+ years and helped many clients fin... 01/19/2016

Good Monday Morning!   3rd Monday of 2016...how's it going for you?  Lake Arrowhead and our surrounding towns still have snow on the ground, which brings tourists up, which we love. Our mountain survives on tourism.  There have been some issues lately, however, with folks coming up for the day for "snow play," and that is that some people are leaving trash behind: broken sleds, remaining picnic lunch bags, dirty diapers, and the likes.  We love having you all, but please take what you bring or buy, back home, please.Ok, on to the real estate market. We are way down on listings and prices are remaining on the upswing. That's great.  So, IF you've been thinking about selling, it IS a perfect time. Remember in real estate, it is supply and demand.    Frames not supportedFrames not supporte... 01/17/2016

I think fall is the most beautiful season. And, I think fall in Lake Arrowhead is absolutely amazing. I was born and raised in a beach area, so I really never experienced "seasons" until we moved up here in 1997.   Each season here in Lake Arrowhead has its own special feeling. And each has its own special colors: Spring with white Dogwoods blooming, Japanese Maples coming alive and birch trees waking up after winter.But fall is flat out yummy with yellows, reds & golds.  These pictures I snapped this week will give you a small taste of what we love and live for here in the mountains.Oh, and we have tons of events happening this month.  Check them out.  November 8, 2015 5:00 PM – 9:00PM The UCLA Mountain Bruins Club has thier Local's Night Dinner at the UCLA Conference Center.
