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. :)

This was our first trip to Lake Arrowhead and I'm so glad this is where we chose to stay! Peaceful elegance & luxury are words that come to mind as I think about our experience here. The staff is super friendly & helpful - I'm nodding specifically at Helecia who went the extra mile in helping me book this room, and Rona who is the General Manager and truly loves people (you can feel it as you talk to her). They both also have incredible pride in their beautiful hotel (as do all the other employees we interacted with - and that pride is definitely justified!) Both of these ladies contributed to our wonderful experience here - THANK YOU! We stayed in room 17 which had a fireplace, a bedroom and a loft. It was a bit of a walk up the hill but was secluded and we really loved it. There are so many activities they offer here (that we didn't have time to do) - tennis, pickleball, ping pong and so much more. We did however take a hike on the back of their property on the nice trails they have. Another highlight is the indoor jacuzzi with a fireplace, which made it super cozy on a cold night. We absolutely love this place and will definitely be back.

I got a Kalua pork bowl and it was kind of tasty! Definitely very sweet and heavy on the marinade,…read morebut it paired well with rice and cole slaw. Service was VERY SLOW. I think it took 10 minutes to get water, 10 minutes to find someone to get our order in, and then 20-30 minutes until our food came out. Definitely a very slow paced restaurant - come if you're not in a hurry and in a chill mood. We actually came here because all the other restaurants we wanted to try had a 2+ hour long wait and Sunsets was only about 30 minutes. You can walk around the village while you wait, which helps a lot.

Let's just say I had expectations heading into this restaurant given previous reviews and word of…read moremouth. Unfortunately we left feeling very underwhelmed. We ordered the Pupu Platter which came with only one conglomerate piece of tempura when reportedly we were supposed to get 4 separate pieces. The coconut shrimp was raw as seen in the photo. Fortunately they replaced this with another platter of coconut shrimp. The shrimp and mahi mahi tacos were great as was the mushroom ravioli. However the NY strip (which came recommended) had an uneven cook as seen in the photo which looks as if they did not let the steak come to room temperature before cooking. Also was very Underseasoned with a bland taste. The mashed potatoes (also pictured) was bland as well without a creamy texture as expected of mashed potatoes. No complaints about service. Would like to think maybe we caught them on an off day since it was Memorial Day weekend but unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired. May have been better to just save the money and make a decent dish at home.

The fresh hot popcorn, candy, and snacks were better than going to the big theater. Chairs were super cozy with extra pillows and blankets if needed and reclined for comfort. We all agreed that if we had to choose between a big theater and this, the The Place to Be is hands down the winner! There is also a picturesque view of the lake and mountain. It was a great experience from beginning to end and I highly recommend an event at the Place to be Crestline. Cheryl is amazing and a fantastic host. Thank you for your hospitality!

My wife and I ordered two vanilla lattes, the chicken and waffles, and a sausage breakfast burrito. Everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful, absolutely zero notes. The coffee is fantastic, the breakfast was incredible, and the staff was friendly and efficient, keeping the service moving quickly even when they were busy. We ended up coming back the next two days as well. We loved it so much that we came back one evening to try their pizza, and it didn't disappoint either. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Excellent food, great coffee, and wonderful service!

We came here looking for a great experience due to the view they had, but unfortunately left with…read moresome of the worst experience I ever had in a restaurant, service was OK. It was kind of fast and came to see how we were doing every few minutes. The bad experience starts with the food, first of all the price is very expensive compared to the quality of the food, about $30 for two tacos not mention that one taco had only four little shrimps, my wife got the flautas and as soon as she got them, we noticed there were mosquitoes on the food so we returned the plate We ended up eating at a different time because of this problem we still got charged for it, nothing special on the Michelada, which is 18 bucks for only one beer and clamato At the end, we order a dessert of fried ice cream and unfortunately, another bad thing with this food a pubic hair at the bottom of the fried ice cream. It was very nasty. I decided not to complain anymore, but instead to leave a review, this is the first and last time that I'm coming to this place Another thing to point out is the bathroom is in a horrible condition, they don't take the trash out once the bin is full so there's many things that they really have to work on

Restrooms are moldy and you're lucky if you get hot water to shower. It's a hit or miss. The food is so bad! The only edible looking food items were the pre packaged cereals, yogurts and toast.

Just show up before 7:45 pm (last call for seating). The food is very freshly made and is pretty good for a buffet. The kitchen staff will accommodate you if you have any dietary restrictions. Beverages and desserts are included in the price. And the staff is very attentive and friendly. It's so nice to have a low stress dining option onsite. Plus, there is a bar and tavern in the back if you want something smaller. Tip for dinner: save room for dessert. It's a small selection, but hits the spot for post dinner treat. Tip for breakfast: don't wait until the end of the dining time to get what you want from the buffet, the staff starts clearing the buffet items about 15-20 minutes before last seating and they won't refill some items.

We ordered Seared Atlantic salmon @ $32 excellent Miso glazed cod @ $32 very good Station 91 burger @ $24 Everything was delicious, served quickly at a perfect temperature. Table bread is delicious. I had my 1 yr old grandson with us -the only disappointing thing about our experience was the extremely high prices on the children's menu. $15 for a children's quesadilla or burger is excessive. At the end, our waitress brought us the lava cake and vanilla ice cream for my birthday and it was very good. All in all a great experience, we really enjoyed.

We started with the fried calamari and garlic parmesan shoestring fries and both were a solid way to kick things off. Crispy, flavorful, and easy to share. I ordered the kale salad and added salmon for protein and it was good. Fresh, well balanced, and the portion was huge. I honestly could not finish it. The rest of my family went with the wagyu sliders, fish and chips, and the burger, and everyone seemed happy with their choices. We had no room for dessert, but the friendly service and stunning lake view more than made up for it. The lake view is truly the cherry on top! Solid choice for dining in the area.
