Lake Arrowhead Chalets

The Resort & Setting

Lake Arrowhead Chalets is an independent timeshare property made up of cabin-style units, each with a wood-burning fireplace and a private deck fitted with a BBQ — the kind of setup that suits a long weekend in front of the fire as much as a summer evening cookout. Free Wi-Fi is included, and lake access is part of the package, so owners don't need to drive far to get to the water. The resort holds a 4.5-star Google rating from 99 reviews, a solid score for a smaller, independently run mountain property. The address is 28200 CA-189, Lake Arrowhead, CA 92352, roughly a 1.5 to 2-hour drive from Los Angeles.

The Area & Things to Do

Lake Arrowhead itself sits about half a mile from the resort and is the main draw of the area — a scenic stretch of water surrounded by pine forest, with mountain views in every direction. The San Bernardino National Forest, around 3 miles away, offers hiking trails, scenic drives and camping for anyone wanting to get further off the beaten path. Closer to the resort, the Alpine Pedal Path is an easy, flat route for walking or cycling that takes in the lake surroundings without requiring a car. For a change of scene, Big Bear Lake is about 22 miles away and brings its own mix of water sports, hiking and winter skiing. Lake Arrowhead village itself has restaurants and shops within easy reach for owners who don't want to cook every night.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Lake Arrowhead Chalets and are ready to move on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it for resale or rent directly, owner to owner. You set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of genuinely interested buyers.

Because Lake Arrowhead Chalets is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a national timeshare brand's resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask management directly for the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee attached to your specific week or unit — these figures vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so get them in writing from the association before you close a deal. Also ask whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as many independently managed resorts do, so you and your buyer both know the transfer timeline from the outset.

A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded week or points allocation and the ongoing annual fee, but shouldn't assume anything beyond what the current owner has in writing — confirm exactly what is and isn't included before any money changes hands.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters interested in a week at Lake Arrowhead Chalets are generally drawn by the cabin character — the fireplace, the deck, the BBQ, and the walk to the lake — rather than resort-style amenities, so be upfront about the unit style when listing. Mountain weather means cooler temperatures year-round compared with lower-elevation California, and cell service can be patchy in parts of the area, both worth mentioning to renters so they pack and plan accordingly.
