For years I've often found myself stopping by this local hardware store when some household item at our cabin is in need of repair or replenishing, and most of the time they have what I'm looking for. In the few instances when a certain item is out of stock, it's usually available on my next visit. (I'm up here every couple of weeks.) I've always found the post's personnel pleasant and competent, quickly directing me to the aisle of an item I can't locate (if not actually personally walking me over to its whereabouts). Additionally, in some cases, they will also let me know if they are running low on an item that I may be needing more than one of since the current inventory is limited to what's out on the shelf. This was the case with some fly traps I came in for on my most recent visit. (I guess flies are a problem in the general area at present). Prices are competitive and I can often find multiple choices at different price points. The only thing in recent memory that I couldn't find there was an Adventure Pass for parking along the forest's roadsides or trailheads - but several of the other local businesses that used to carry them also no longer do, as well. Don't neglect visiting here first if in need of a certain piece of hardware. The store is not as big as the major chains by any means, but there's a good chance you'll find what you need without going down the mountain. That's a good thing to be aware of - especially when dealing with an emergency repair! read more

Fells like an old fashioned hardware store. Found everything I needed. They the only place in town that had nylon rope

Places is great has a lot of random things. The value is typical for the mountains. Some things are cheap. Some things aren't. The service is great. They have a variety of things to choose from. read more

We shop here constantly when we need basic hardware items and rarely have they not had just what we needed. I always need to ask where I can find items because they are packed to the gills with merch and it's also fun to talk to the guys that work there. We have a hand carved wood bear that has started to dry out as the shellac coating has been fading with the elements, and this weekend the sales guy was able to help me find some wood stain and clear coat with UV light protection. With a little effort on my part, our bear looks good for a couple years now! read more

See all

Great service! Perfect little shop to get all I needed for last minute drinks and food and not to mention medicine as well. Prices were fair. read more

I was in a rental property where the AC intake filter had apparently not been changed in a very long time. The people here were super helpful (and friendly!) and had the filter size I needed to get the AC working again. read more

These guys are the best! The hardware store employees are always helpful and almost always have what I need in stock. The hardware store is clean, well organized, and the staff is knowledgeable. The prices are average, but when you walk out with what you need and have a great experience. I definitely recommend this place! read more

We stopped in because one of the cabins tiles shattered. Natalie and I ran in to grab especial glue and this adorable dog had to kiss her. Natalie V Bock passed away last weekend due to Brain cancer. Owner is a sweetheart and this picture is now a memory. By the way this hardware store has everything. read more

Tom Aguirre runs a great business with competent staff. This hardware store is a blessing to our community

I moved to Lake Arrowhead two years ago, and have been to the Trading Post several times with personal questions. I am a "Do-it-Yourselfer", having learned from my parents in the 50's that most home repairs can be done from home! This Cedar Glen Company has always recommended the best solutions, including referrals, when limited to its relatively small inventory. I have had numerous projects with which I have been given fabulous and successful advice, including direct help for a reasonable price. I highly recommend this organization as it also supports the local schools! Thanks, Trading Post...I'll be seeing you soon :) Nancy read more

Cedar Glen Trading Post - After dinner at the Country Club - Hardware Stores Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Great and friendly service. They have a good selection for a small store and their price are reasonable and fair.

As convenient and well-stocked as this place is, the older man with curly white hair behind the front counter is a rude, cranky jerk who's made me want to shop at Ace Hardware 20 minutes away from now on. To start, this man cannot hear well, so if you speak too "quietly" to him, he'll yell at you to speak louder (which means having to awkwardly yell back at him). On top of that, he'll openly express scorn towards you if you do anything "wrong". I brought a couple bags of road salt to the counter to pay for them, only to be met with him *yelling* at me not to put them on the counter, rather than politely asking me to do so. I felt a bit shaken and incidentally dropped my credit card, so he yelled out to me that I dropped my card... When I pick it up, he shakes his head at me in dismay... Moreover, he's grimaced at me before for not knowing where an item is and asking for his assistance... wtf?? Why would he make a loyal customer feel bad for something as trivial as that? The things other reviewers here say about him don't surprise me at all. read more

I moved here in June '22 and live here full-time but only just went in for the first time today. Both men working were very friendly and helpful so I have to wonder about the people posting 1 star reviews, honestly... lol. They're super close-by, open on Sundays and I like supporting local businesses here so I will be back. read more

I had the absolute worst experience and treatment from the man working behind the counter (7/25/22 9:50am). Where to begin, first the employee made outwardly racist comments to the gentleman in front of me who was not a native English speaker. After Rudely giving this customer commands and badgering him that other people were in front of him (with clearly no one in front of him) he said, "never mind you can't understand me, it's like talking to the dead." It was then my turn, I had two bolts and a washer. I needed some assistance because I lost a wing nut in the lake and was hoping for guidance on sizing. The man told me that I irritated him because I was going off memory and made a snide remark that I'd be back and provided zero help with size recommendations even though I showed a picture and had half of the item i needed to repair. He then asked me how mush the items cost that I was trying to purchase. He asked me, the customer... how am I supposed to know, I didn't memorize the price listed and was more focused on getting tools that were the correct size. So rude, racist, and sexist. If the owner of the shops would like more information, I invite them to contact me. I am so disturbed that this man is in "customer service" read more

these ppl are the best! especially aaron shes so helpful and sweet! i will always go there first and always go local

Sexist treatment from 3 men working there. Loudly talking about the hooker one guy had been with the night before. Then they compared me to a poodle. Wow, I will never be back. read more

We got a sinkhole in one of the walkways behind our cabin and needed small bags of cement to begin to fill it in. I also needed some rubber tips for my harp stool. Found both, along with a sales clerk about my age who was very accommodating and opened a package of tips to make sure they'd fit, then put them on all the stool's legs. I also got to pet the sweetest dog who just happened to be greeting customers, wearing a red sweater no less. It was business as usual for a place that's been our local hardware store since we bought our cabin in CG almost 20 years ago. They're the best! read more

There's a couple men working here who are extremely rude. I've been avoiding this place at all costs and traveling to Crestline's Ace hardware. From time to time in the middle of a project I will go buy the smallest item I can possibly buy there. Last time I was there a couple weeks ago one of the man followed a customer to his car and began a screaming match with him, even after the customer was inside his vehicle he would stand at his window screaming back and forth at him. The customer about came out of the car and took care of business. I've never seen anything like it. These guys are something else. read more

Great hardware store- Reminds of a mom and pop store. This place is small and rustic but they pack a punch with most every small repair supplies. The customer service is excellent with very helpful people. The also sell fishing supplies and they will guide you to the right direction to fish... remember you need to be a resident to fish at Lake Arrowhead but you can fish the stream to Aztec Falls not to far from there. read more

Cedar Glen Trading Post - Hardware Stores Near Me - San Bernardino, California

My wife and I have been going to the Trading Post for over 30 years. Why? They don't have the widest selection. They're not the cheapest. It's because we were trying to be loyal to our local store. Yesterday, they gave my wife a ton of grief when she tried to return an item that did not work. Her first return in 30 years, by the way. Rim Lumber, Lake Drive Hardware, Rusty Hammer, Home Depot, or Lowes from now on. read more

Hardware store that has been in biz for a long time. Almost always have what I need, and they have a nice variety of home repair parts. Staff is so friendly and helpful and know how to repair everything that I have asked them. Been going there for 25 years. Great place! read more

Cedar Glen Hardware has been here for a long time. They usually have the items that I need to get the job done. I always try to support the local businesses in the Lake Arrowhead area. The employees are helpful and I get what I want and need . I will be back! read more

Came here to get some some worms to fish. Drove from the other side of town, I called and they said be here by 6 pm and you'll get some worms. Got here at 5:55 pm and the door was locked. Thanks, was just trying to fish! read more

My wife had a bad experience when she walked in there about a year ago. As I waited for her in the parking lot outside, she later told me that she had asked a question to a male employee who began belittling her in front of other customers making her feel like an idiot. I told her to say something about it to the store manager but she declined. This was about a year ago in 2022. Just be forewarned. read more

The friendliest employees! They've had what I needed for my home repairs almost every time I've gone to them. Pricing isn't astronomical either. read more

All nice people and helpful,you can find anything you want and very friendly,I love doing business here

These guys do not follow COVID guidelines AT ALL. I don't know why the other review said they did. I went in for only one thing (thank god) before Christmas and rushed right out. I have a child with a pre-existing condition. I guess they don't care about that kind of thing. Masks not on their faces, just hanging off one ear (as some sort of half-assed nod to doing at all??) or under their noses, or not even bothering to wear them. And they don't keep their distance, even when maskless. Also, these are not young men. They all look and sound like they'll be in real trouble if they get it. I wish they would take it more seriously and care about their own, and other people's, well-being. They clearly do not. I won't be back. read more

The hardware store. Look for the Jack-a-lope when you stop by. This place has a great selection of tools, materials, and assorted hardware. They also have carry ammo, hunting equipment, and even fishing tackle. Cedar Glen is a great place to go for the day if you need to get lunch (Cedar Glen Inn or Malt Shoppe), need to do some antique shopping, hit the mini mart, and, of course, get some materials for a project or to fix something at the Hardware store. Parking is a bit lacking, so I recommend parking out front of the post office. Its also safer to leave from down there (Hook Creek Rd has a lot of blind turns and teenage drivers). read more

Amazing store. Cedar Glen Trading Post & Hardware store is literally sometime that got stuck in a timewarp. The store is super small but have almost every piece of hardware you can ask for. along with a ton of stuff you never knew you wanted, until you found it here. Staff is super knowledgeable, however operate at a speed that would get the fired in a heartbeat from HomeDepot.. however thats exactly what is so awesome.. this is not HomeDepot, but something much better. Don't visit Lake Arrowhead without spending $5 here. Guys.. they don't take Apple pay. there are no sea-weed snacks. just 1920 style hardware store.. enjoy. read more

Paul was amazing. He helped us find last minute primer paint for our cabin when we needed it last minute!

They always have what we need! For a small store the Trading Post has a surprisingly large collection of tools, materials, and random household items. The prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly and willing to help. read more

Love this little country hardware store. They seem to have everything you need when you have a crises on the mountain. Always very helpful.

I go in here on an almost daily basis for work and for home, and it's GREAT! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, their selection is pretty wide. If they don't have it, they'll order it! Thank you guys, for a consistent friendly home-town hardware store experience! -The infamous Jack-a-lope is a bonus. read more

A great local shop that is so much more than a hardware store . Very friendly service and great advice.

Old man running the counter is rude and doesn't take to kindly to people asking directions. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

They are very helpful and they seem to always have what I need. Best hardware store on the mountaib

This is the place locals go to! I work in real estate and need many things through out a year. They are knowledgeable, courteous and open! Prices are good and I do not have drive down the hill to get things taken care of. A+ read more

Although I have moved from the area, I was a frequent customer for many years. For me, my visits were a social event and a little bit of helpful repair advice. Tom and the guys recognized my incompetence as a "challenged home repair person" and treated me with tolerance and good humor in spite of my handicap. The moment one walks in the store one gets the feeling of a small town friendly environment. No matter how black my mood after almost electrocuting myself, almost losing a finger or hand or putting a new device in sideways or upside down, the guys always found creative excuses for my failures and solved my problem. I miss my visits....great bunch of guys! Best regards Pete read more

The owner and staff are both knowledgeable and helpful. For a smaller hardware store they truly carry most of the things you need for your home. Fun store to visit and a true throwback to old time customer service read more

Has most things you'd need up here so you don't have to drive down the mountain. And great prices. People are friendly and helpful.
