Facts: In the late 1800's, several businessmen from Cincinnati, Ohio, including James Gamble of Proctor & Gamble (YES, the Proctor and Gamble), sold their interest in Lake Arrowhead to J.B. Van Nuys (YES, the VanNuys). He decided to build an upscale resort, a Normandy Village. At that time, the lake became known as Lake Arrowhead. Van Nuys commissioned well-known designer/builder, Mr. A.L. Richmond, owner of the Arlington Hotel in Santa Barbara to take on this task of building a lakefront hotel.
The half-million-dollar Arlington Lodge opened its doors to affluent guests on June 23, 1923, with a midnight champagne party and dance. Guests enjoyed an orchestra, toured the drawing rooms, the gracious bed-chambers with private baths and the beautiful terrace overlooking Lake Arrowhead.
Many changes have taken place over the DECADES and TODAY, we have the spectacular LAKE ARROWHEAD RESORT & SPA.
