She recommended a menu that's suited for our taste and I love that she was able to balance Asian/western palettes. We also didn't do a taste test, but was lucky to snatch a few of her bahn mi during her special pop up- omg the second I bite into the sandwich I knew she will deliver for our wedding. I trusted her completely. For the day of wedding she arrived on time and braved the cold in the outdoors to cook us a coursed meal. Our picky parents could not stop raving about it, and I still think about the lobster mushroom dish she made. I'm salivating as i write this. Do not hesitate to book her. She's professional, friendly, funny, and made our day so special. Excuse the bad quality of pics as I inhaled the food so fast and the pics don't do its justice. Look at how beautiful her plates are too!

Bahn mi has always been a sandwich that has been on my "must try" list but for whatever reason, it…read morenever happened. Chef Tea has thankfully made that a reality. I met Chef Tea through a volunteering opportunity, and she was gracious enough to make the team some of her delicious Bahn Mi Sandwiches. Talk about love at first bite! If my mouth had a soul mate, I am pretty sure it would be the Bahn Mi. For reference, I was able to try the pork and vegetarian Bahn Mi. The umami flavors hit you immediately and is welcomed with the combination of fresh veggies and held together with a crispy yet soft baguette. It was Heaven by way of every bite! Another small but important point was how each sandwich was thoughtfully wrapped and had a list of ingredients as well. Days later, I was thinking about her sandwich, and I decided to try a Bahn Mi from a popular Vietnamese restaurant in my area. I was let down because it tasted so different from what I experienced in Chef Tea's sandwich. I repeated this with another restaurant weeks later, only to be let down once more. It is safe to say that she has ruined me for all other Bahn Mi's. If you find yourself in need of a personal Chef who will deliver the "wow" factor, please consider Tra An Cuisine.

We stayed at Edgewood Mansion for my 40th birthday during New Years Eve. My husband planned the…read moretrip to include my closest girlfriends and their families. From the beginning to the end we had the best experience. The mansion has so much history, is perfect to accommodate multiple families with en suites, huge kitchen, many places to relax, and plenty to do. We had kids from ages 4 to 10. We thought we would run out of things for them to do. Not at all. The mansion is so huge, they had plenty of room to stretch out, the hills on the property provided for fun sledding and snowman building. The adults were either at the sauna, jacuzzi, kitchen, outside in the snow walking the 2 acres of property or just relaxing in one of the many comfy nooks. I highly recommend Edgewood Mansion for any type of event whether it's a birthday trip, family reunion, corporate retreat or any other purpose where you want to feel like you're at home, or provided for like a Queen. The location which is located higher up in the mountains is away from the traffic. The accommodations are immaculate and the concierge services provided by Chantal who was available to us 24/7 before we got there and during, was spot on. We catered instead of cooking which was so much easier on everyone so we could enjoy each other's company versus cooking. Chantal gave us choices and she had Mexican food delivered one night, Italian catered another and on New Years Eve we had a personal chef, Mike who is a master chef create the most delicious surf and turf dinner. We had piles of Alaskan king crab legs and the freshest, tastiest filet. Everything was provided. This was an amazing trip because of where we stayed, the owner Laura who was so accommodating and Chantal who was so helpful. Our friends have not stopped thanking us for coordinating this trip. We all got to spend time together with the kids together and not feeling overwhelmed because everything was at our fingertips. Thank you to Laura, Chantal, Irvin and the maintenance crew, Sherri our housekeeper and the magical Edgewood Mansion.

Highly recommend for people hosting special gatherings, parties, family vacations or special events. Definitely worth it.

Cask & Cure is such a cute new addition to Lake Arrowhead!…read more Even though it's a wine bar and we don't drink, there were still plenty of food, snack, and non-alcoholic drink options for us. We got the Capri panini and Mediterranean veggie sandwich with a side of veggies and fruit, and both were delicious. Our waiter was so accommodating and even let us pick a non-alcoholic drink from the fridge. I got a hibiscus rose soda, and she poured it into a fancy glass for me, which honestly made it so much more fun hehe. The interior is super cute and welcoming, and there's even a little gift shop in the front. Friendly staff, very clean bathrooms, and the lake view is amazing! Such a great new addition to the town. I'd definitely come back here every time we visit Lake Arrowhead!

Definitely a tasty place with views that can't be beat!

The main lodge had tea and coffee stocked every day, which was so nice. Rooms also came equipped with a Keurig in case you didn't want to make the trek to the lodge. The staff were incredibly kind. From food staff to receptionist to bar staff, everyone was so accommodating. One small thing though was the drinks from the bar tasted a bit funny. Both mine and my partner's drinks had this weird barbecue sauce flavor, which was odd! The lodge is a quick 20-minute (free) bus ride to the village, which is small but definitely worth a visit. :)

Amenities include swimming pool, jacuzzi, tennis courts, basketball court, sand volleyball court, hiking trail, WiFi, parking and an on-site restaurant. Cabin accommodations come in different configurations with most rooms including a fireplace and deck offering beautiful mountain or lake views. We've visited the lodge three times now. The last time was October 2020, and it was great to discover that UCLA continues to upgrade its facilities with new amenities including a tavern (they serve adult beverages!) as well as pickleball courts. We've enjoyed our visits every time, but IMO the cabins are due for a renovation/upgrade. After our most recent visit Memorial Day weekend, I would also warn guests to beware of oakworms or leafrollers (moth caterpillars that rappel down on silken threads) which seemed to be everywhere this time of year. We are a family of UCLA alumni and our getaways to Lake Arrowhead always have a special place in our hearts, so allow me to finish with...GO BRUINS!!! [Insert 8-Clap Here]
