The popular and gorgeous setting of Lake Arrowhead fascinated two ambitious, middle-aged sisters from the Midwest, who built their dream castle in 1919 at the entrance to Lake Arrowhead Village. They named this three story, twenty-eight room English tavern style 'castle', 'The Raven', and it played (and still plays!) host to many of Southern California's famous celebrities, countless movie stars, and Hollywood executives who visited for a relaxing or romantic get away from Los Angeles.
Encircled by 100-year-old cedars and pines overlooking Lake Arrowhead, today The Raven is a restored historical landmark and resort now called The Saddleback Inn.
This historic Lake Arrowhead lodge features charming guest rooms in the original castle that are reminiscent of the famous people who frequented this landmark. Surrounded by private rustic cottages set along cobblestone paths, flowering dogwoods, and elegant birch trees, this Lake Arrowhead lodge offers a quick get away from Los Angeles and Orange County. The Saddleback Inn provides a fantastic lodging/dining experience for individuals, families and groups, and has a reputation for being simply the best place to stay in Lake Arrowhead.
