Arrowhead
Lake Company
Hotels
Smart…Comfortable…Inviting
There are several fine hotels at Lake Arrowhead -each
managed by a skilled host, and each conforming to the
high standards of the Arrowhead Lake Company. There are
also auto camps, cabins and a great variety of housekeeping
facilities for your comfort and pleasure during your
stay.
|
|
|
And
what hotels! Great, comfortable chairs and lounges –deep,
restful sofas in front of crackling log fires –cool,
smooth sheets on beds as comfortable as those in your
own home, and a cuisine to tempt the appetite.
Here
is service in the high mountains that you would ordinarily
expect only from a metropolitan hotel in a city. Lake
Arrowhead Lodge, the Tavern and the Village Inn are under
the management of Mrs. Nellie N. Coffman, and her two
sons, George B. Roberson and O. E. Coffman, of the Desert
Inn.

Lake Arrowhead Lodge
Back from the Prussian blue of the lake, almost hidden
in the fragrant pines, on a slight elevation over looking
the water is Lake Arrowhead Lodge.
Like
an old Norman English hall, The Lodge seems to
radiate hospitality and comfort, perfectly in keeping
with its surroundings. Inside is the great, beamed
lobby where of an evening a snapping grate fire
throws its hide-and-seek light to the ceiling.
There is an
atmosphere peculiar to the mountains and the lake,
an individuality that makes you feel “at home” the
minute you put your foot inside.
Here
is the scene of smart dinner dances, supper dances
and bridge teas. Here one sees, daily, famous people
from all over the country –cinema stars,
writers, actors, authors, and the smart social
set from Los
Angeles and Southern California.
|
|
The
dining-room is spacious, bright and cheerful. It enjoys
a wide view of the lake through great pines and firs.
Its cuisine is excellent, and its service smooth. Throughout
the summer The Lodge is the scene of smart tea and supper
dance, with informality and sports wear as the keynote.
Every room or suite at The Lodge has a private bath. |

North Shore Tavern
Up a Green Meadow from the Water
Across the Lake, and up a green meadow from the water
is the famous North Shore Tavern, having the appearance
of a country club of Norman English architecture. Here
the main building houses the long, low windowed hall
with its pleasing note of cheerful informality.
The North Shore Tavern is ideal for
guests with children. In the green meadow of the
front of the Tavern is an
ideal playfield, and in the shallow bathing cove beyond
is just the place for children to wade and play in
the water –far enough removed to be out of the
way of their elders, but close enough for watchful
eyes.
Unlike The Lodge, the Tavern houses
its guests in snug, steam-heated bungalows –just
far enough from the main building for seclusion,
but close enough
for quick and easy contact.
|
The
rooms are bright and comfortable, lulled at night by
the pines above, shaded in the daytime from the sun,
and yet only a few steps from the activity of the main
building and the dining-room.
The
cuisine is excellent. Choicest of foods, daintily prepared
and served in generous portions tempt the most jaded
appetite. Fresh vegetables are included on all menus,
and certified milk is always available.

Village Inn |
The Village
Inn
The Quaint Charm of Shakespeare The Village Inn suggests
the quaint charm of Shakespeare’s
Stratford-on-Avon. It is a modern, comfortably appointed
Inn, commanding a view of the glittering lake, half-hidden
by pines, and yet near the edge of the Village. The Inn is run on
the European Plan. All rooms are steam heated, electric
lighted, with hot and cold water.
Here is comfortable informality –the genuine
spirit of the mountains. No meals are served at the
Inn, but The Lodge, the Cafeteria and a Sandwich Shoppe
are all only a few steps away. |
The Raven
Also located at the Village is the Raven, operated on
both the American and the European Plan. The Raven is conveniently
located near the center of all public activities and the
Casino, where dances are held every night. Rooms are comfortable,
and both single and double beds are of the best. Steam
heat, electric light, and hot and cold water are piped
to every room.
