    Heavenly Father, As we face the trials of this day, we hold onto the wisdom and promises found in the book of James. We are reminded to consider it pure joy when we encounter various challenges, and to seek Your wisdom, which You willingly and generously bestow upon us. We understand that every good and perfect gift is from You, our unwavering and unchanging Father. Grant us the strength to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, and help us to persevere under trial. May our faith be accompanied by action, breathing life into our deeds. In this morning's trials and triumphs, may we find peace in knowing that those who persevere shall receive the crown of life promised by the Lord. Strengthen us, guide us, and fill our hearts with Your enduring grace. Amen.

    We were totally disappointed in the cleanliness of this establishment.

    We were totally disappointed in the cleanliness of this establishment. I don't have to say much here are the pictures to prove it. Blood was on the paper towel holder, there was red punch spill and she spilled and splattered all over by the toilet, the beds and Floors have not been cleaned as you can see the dust and and as one of the people want to stand up to get up on the top bunk there was a big nail as you can see sticking out that could have smashed their hand. Not to mention the big globes of hair that was in the showers. Sadly we sent all of this information over to the managers and the coordinators and no one has even responded! I guess no response means I'm guilty and I'll do better!

    This is the second year coming to this retreat and we have to say it's a nice location. We have mixed feelings but I hope next year we get improvements. Please read the review for the reason of the 3 . Niko was in our first retreat manager and we loved him . He helped us in every way possible to make our women retreat smooth .We came in 2020 and the rooms where well taken care off from beginning to end . He was fast and efficient in all our emails and walk thru . He was polite and so charming . If this year was the same we would of have them a 5x stars. This year 2022 we had Tyler and Carlos who to start off didn't have great communication. They took for ever to answer our emails and to give us communication towards our event . I assume we had all our request we email and talked . But when we arrived we had the wrong rooms we requested and a lot of missing services paid and talked about. Tyler was very indifferent to our needs and rude. He didn't have any care in our needs .Thank god niko came and helped us after me and my sister and law were a bit upset . The food was decent and had alot of choices. They had in the morning pancake's and French toast . I'm the afternoon they had tacos and pasta . The rooms this year were not serviced and not clean when we arrive . Beside that the deluxe rooms are very nice and up to date . Also there is a lot of beautiful nature . We saw a deer and at night we get to see the stars Also ,the fire pit location we had was beautiful . Thank you again niko for our fire pit and s'mores . Lastly the service men took for ever this year to turn on the tv in our meeting room and we had a hard time for our meeting . Even though we didn't have a great experience this year I hope next year we do . But if you want a great experience ask for niko

    Came here as a chaperone for a music retreat in January with 6-9th grades. Everyone had a great time with their ensemble and made new friends with good food and fun. The staff and facilities were great and the snow fun, s'mores and zip line made it even better..!

    Great place to get centered

    Thank you. Great place to get centered We had a great stay and enjoyed our stay. The best

    We held our church retreat with 90 participants over the Thanksgiving weekend. The food was excellent, the cabins were immaculate, and we relished the campfire at night. The meeting rooms accommodated our three groups well. Overall, we had a very positive experience there. Highly recommended.

    Great experience at Pali Retreat. The staff was attentive and friendly. The accommodations were nice -- the bunked cabins had cot mattresses that side sleepers weren't big fans of, but the private rooms were great! The meeting space was prepared for us when we got there and was great for our needs. Tons of activities here and the food is pretty good (able to accommodate dietary restrictions well) and the coffee was better than I expected.

    Can you use a Compound bow at the targets or is just just traditional archery?

    I think it's just traditional! I'd double check with staff if they can make acceptions.

I usually have a hard time eating at retreats (y'know...the processed Cisco stuff they serve in cafeterias that's so unappetizing and makes you gassy) but these were homemade food and delicious!!! Sluuurp. Our group finished every bite. Haha. Highly recommend this place. The owners are old couple and they were nice and accommodating to lend us their rice cooker when we forgot ours. ^_^; We took a walk to Downtown Running Springs (very small) then drove to Arrowhead. They have a detached chapel so we were able to have our main service in the chapel then split into groups. They do enforce quite hours after 10pm. We saw some deer in the morning which was very exciting. I didn't see it myself but supposedly there was a visitation from a bear at night. Yeeek! We cleaned out our cars as soon as we heard that. =P

Amenities include swimming pool, jacuzzi, tennis courts, basketball court, sand volleyball court, hiking trail, WiFi, parking and an on-site restaurant. Cabin accommodations come in different configurations with most rooms including a fireplace and deck offering beautiful mountain or lake views. We've visited the lodge three times now. The last time was October 2020, and it was great to discover that UCLA continues to upgrade its facilities with new amenities including a tavern (they serve adult beverages!) as well as pickleball courts. We've enjoyed our visits every time, but IMO the cabins are due for a renovation/upgrade. After our most recent visit Memorial Day weekend, I would also warn guests to beware of oakworms or leafrollers (moth caterpillars that rappel down on silken threads) which seemed to be everywhere this time of year. We are a family of UCLA alumni and our getaways to Lake Arrowhead always have a special place in our hearts, so allow me to finish with...GO BRUINS!!! [Insert 8-Clap Here]

The main lodge had tea and coffee stocked every day, which was so nice. Rooms also came equipped with a Keurig in case you didn't want to make the trek to the lodge. The staff were incredibly kind. From food staff to receptionist to bar staff, everyone was so accommodating. One small thing though was the drinks from the bar tasted a bit funny. Both mine and my partner's drinks had this weird barbecue sauce flavor, which was odd! The lodge is a quick 20-minute (free) bus ride to the village, which is small but definitely worth a visit. :)

I did want to mention how good the food I had was, especially loved the Citrus Grilled Swordfish, which was exceptional in quality and taste. The freshness of the herbs mixed with brightness and tang of the acidity of the sauce really brings out the flavor in this delicious fish entree.

They also have a full bar menu for drinks as well. The vibe is upscale casual. There are two dinning areas at the hotel. One is the bistro (for more quiet dining) and directly across the hall is the lounge, where food and drink are also available. Great spot for a fun date night. On Friday and Saturday nights in the lounge, there is live music from 6-9pm. You can just order drinks and enjoy the music in the lounge, but you're gonna want to try the food too-it's yummy!
