I sure do like visiting Lake Arrowhead Village! I come back here every few years to get away from…read morethe city life and enjoy some peaceful time with nature and low key touristy shopping. This trip turned out to be one of the most enjoyable and scenic spots in the area especially this time I got to feed the ducks!!! For just $1, you can buy a brown bag of duck feed and toss them into the village. It was fun to see ducks and fish as well eating the food pellets. This village sits right along the lake, and the views of the water surrounded by pine trees and mountains are absolutely beautiful--perfect for photos or just relaxing while walking around. I espeically love the clean air and peaceful tranquility this place brings to me. The village is filled with charming and tourist-friendly shops that are fun to browse. A few standout stores included Big On Bears Lake Arrowhead for souvenirs and apparel, Coach for outlet shopping which I was able to grab a few trinkets and wallets for friends and family members, and Village Ice Cream and Sweet Shoppe for a sweet treat while strolling by the lake. All of these stores staff were quite friendly and helpful. The variety of boutiques, gift shops, and snack spots made it easy to spend a few hours just exploring and since it was low key, it made window shopping and browsing just as fun! They also have a McD and a Jersey Mike's if you just want a quick snack! Overall, Lake Arrowhead Village is a charming mountain destination that I like to visit. Just have to get past the long winding road up the mountains and not get too scared as a passenger looking down at the views. If you go slow you don't think of the scary and winding driving up the mountains. Parking was fairly convenient, with both a main lot and a parking structure available for visitors. Highly recommend for visitors as well as locals for a weekend getaway.

There are so many choices, it made it very difficult to choose our favorite. I also bought a beautiful Pendleton coat with amazing fringe all over it. I was super surprised at how inexpensive it was. I topped it off with a couple Pendleton cowgirl hats, and called it a day! Nathan, I don't know if you'll remember who we were, it's been a while since we were in the store but everyone should know that you are a pleasure, extremely professional, great sense of humor, and awesome work ethic. Thank you so much! I think we will be coming back after Thanksgiving.

I'd not been familiar with Pendleton other than it was a brand my grandparents wore on occasion, so…read morewhile strolling in the Village I came upon it and wondered what does Pendleton sell nowadays? I walked in and had a strong positive reaction as I'm currently obsessed with all things Yellowstone. I saw many Native American inspired blankets and wardrobe items, which made me feel a certain way. Or rather, a few ways. I was in love with the SUPER soft ponchos for $79 that are colorful, cozy & comfortable. A fair price for such a unique piece of outerwear. But I am struggling with whether the Native American styled items are crossing the line into cultural appropriation. I'm much more sensitive to how indigenous peoples feel about white people profiting off of their cultural artistry, and I am unsure if this would be resented if I were to wear these clothes. I am actually going to explore this with indigenous friends and acquaintances to get their take on this. I am hoping that it is not offensive, because I'm dying to wrap myself up in one of those gorgeous ponchos.

A really fun place to explore with lots of educational displays that were fun to experience. They sell bags of duck food for $1 which we took advantage of and enjoyed sharing just outside the shop with the plump ducks floating in the water. Near the entrance there were rows of semi-precious gemstone rings in an open display with price tags of $270 or so, which seemed odd to me because 1) if they were truly worth anywhere near that, they would not be out in the open like that and 2) I have purchased rings of near identical design and quality for $40. Perhaps the tourists pony up for these without knowing better? Either way I truly enjoyed the store and ogling their merchandise. It's a popular & fun place to take your out of town visitors.

It's viewable from one of the parking lots, near the center stage where they host a wonderful array of summer concerts. I don't need the stylish heavy Guess coat (with a synthetic furry hood) I picked out in SoCal - at least not in Downey - but I feel like I scored on my purchase at $59.99 + tax instead of $225. When I visit family in Colorado and New Mexico I will definitely be needing it. Sabeen was really nice and helpful. She wasn't there the second day I came back for the coat, but another young lady was. I'm a fan. 2018 Challenge #125

Look for the sign that indicates the toy store overflow lot and turn to the left to find the store entrance. Plenty of parking in the lot. Pricing is at least 50% off retail with a free membership that you can sign up for while checking out. The sale items are discounted even more. There is something for everyone here including adults. Staff members are friendly and helpful. Stock is replenished often and there is a variety of brands available. Limit is 50 for the same item. Be sure to take the time to peruse through everything. One tip is, if you see something you like, put it in your cart immediately. It may not be there during a second round of browsing. True story.
