Accommodation Near Grass Valley Lake

👌

Very nice place to stay for the price I payed

This was our second stay at the Dancing Bear Chalet. We really enjoy the large deck with the comfortable chairs, the gorgeous view onto pine trees, the big kitchen, and the fireplace with the gas log lighter. The house is in lovely location, in a very quiet neighborhood, surrounded by pines and cedars. It is very clean and comfortable. There are no stairs upon entering the house, which is great for loading and unloading luggage and fire wood. There are 2 full bathrooms - one upstairs and one downstairs. The tubs in both have a safety bar and the bathrooms have a timer heat lamp. The 2 king bed bedrooms are upstairs. Both are large rooms. The living room furniture is very comfortable. Shopping and Lake Arrowhead Village are close by. It’s a great rental home for a getaway in the mountains, and we have already booked our stay there for fall 2025.

The property itself is gorgeous and very well taken care of. The owner is beyond lovely and went out of his way to make our trip to Lake Arrowhead as good as it could possibly be. The landscape immediately around the cabin is also quite pretty. So, if you are looking for a spectacular cabin in the woods, this is really it. I would not change a thing. What I would change is the Lake Arrowhead community. Everything is very tightly restricted and there is a real aura of the entire area being a members only club. For example, we walked down the road from the cabin and our kids saw a playground. They ran towards it only to discover that the playground was behind fences and gates with key codes. A lady was walking in with her kids and, when we asked if we could come in for a bit too so the kids could play, she advised that we had to be members of the nearby golf club to enter. The staff at the golf club were equally snooty when we asked. The lake, its beaches and its nearby trails all function in the same way. You *can* get access to these things as guests at this cabin but first, you must pay the relevant club, register in the club's office and then wear the appropriate bracelet or lanyard. Compared to America's national parks, where we have always been able to walk wherever we wanted, Lake Arrowhead's restrictive rules left us feeling disconcerted and ill at ease. We won't be back, but the reason has absolutely nothing to do with this spectacular cabin or its wonderful owner.

I have stayed at this property more than once while working in the area. It has been a great home away from home! The property manager is awesome/ so helpful and nice. Checked in when it snowed to see if I needed any help. The owner was always very accommodating when I need to extend, if it was available. Just an overall great experience. Cozy home!

The cabin was clean, roomy, and with everything we needed. The "lake music" sang us to sleep every night.
