Local Area

Crestline, CA

Crestline, California is a charming mountain community tucked into the San Bernardino Mountains, known for its towering pines, fresh alpine air, and easygoing lake-town atmosphere. At its heart is Lake Gregory, a peaceful four-season destination for walking, swimming, kayaking, fishing, picnicking, and simply slowing down beside the water. Just minutes from Lake Arrowhead and within a scenic drive of Big Bear, Crestline offers the quiet, restorative feeling of a true mountain escape while still being close to some of Southern California’s most beloved alpine destinations.

Nearby experiences include:

  • Lake Gregory: Seasonal lake activities on Lake Gregory like the summer waterpark here is a delightful activity for the whole family.

  • SkyPark at Santa’s Village: core memories have been created here at this gem of a place.

  • Goodwin’s Market: be sure to stop by and support this local grocery store. It is one of our favorite places in the mountains.

  • Hiking Trails: we love the Lake Gregory Hiking Trail, Heart Rock Trail Loop and Heaps Peak Arboretum.

  • Lake Arrowhead Village: a must stopping point. We highly recommend booking The Arrowhead Queen to round out the experience.
