Such a beautiful view! Waking up in the morning to the quiet and seeing the fog burn off was great. The rooms are well kept and cute. They don't have AC but with the window open at night and the provided fan its quite comfortable. Would definitely stay again!
I booked the room for a wedding I was attending. The views were breathtaking, rooms were clean and very nice . Staff was absolutely wonderful very friendly and helpful. Not to mention breakfast was amazing, french toast, Belgium waffles, pancakes and the most delicious bacon. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice weekend getaway or even longer for vacation.
Hidden gem. One of the best place to peep fall leaves with a view … in the entire United States. Stumbled in this place and it’s an absolute hidden gem. Go on a Sunday and you’ll get breakfast next to a window or on a deck with absolute amazing view and huge 3 layer deck to explore. Go late October for full on fall leaves and colors. Very cozy interior with huge view windows, hot chocolate…. Comfy seats, books, games. Don’t miss it. It’s a destination level view and experience.
Darcy was great upon check-in!! A truly family owned business and you can tell she takes great pride in that! Very welcoming of my service which means a lot to me. The room was better than the pictures! I was in room 102 and the view was amazing from my window! Short drive to town and the best feature is there is a binder in the room that tells you everything you need to know. Well put together and very informative. I for sure will be staying here again.
Our weekend was fabulous. Darcy is an incredible host. The escape cottage was amazing. Views were unbelievable. Can't wait to go back. Oh.... breakfast... wow!
The Sky View in is perfectly located with stunning views from their expansive deck. The service is friendly and top notch in every way. The breakfasts served on weekends only are delicious.
The perfect snow filled weekend! From the outset Darcy took care of my family. We did sledding, snowman building, puzzles, and hot cocoa. The breakfast on the weekend by her husband was amazing! The view is a memory stamped in my mind forever! Memories made for sure! Thanks!
Quaint place. Clean room, very quiet. The view of the valley is breathtaking. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. They serve breakfast that are simple yet reminds you of home, reasonably priced.
Set in a quaint house off of the Rim of the World Highway, this warm hotel is 2 miles from Lake Arrowhead Village.
