Rainbow View Lodge

awesome lady who owns it, always friendly to our dogs. always very accommodating to check in times.

My boyfriend and I stayed here one night, we asked if there was any availability and said she was waiting for a family to come, and if they didn’t show up we could stay, well turns out the family did show up, and the management let us stay anyways, and in the main lodge. They didn’t have to, but they allowed us and we were grateful! They were very friendly and showed us around. We had a great peaceful night! Would most definitely recommend this place to friends and family!

This was our first time staying here and we couldn’t be more pleased. The hospitality of the owners was amazing. The rooms are festive and spacious and are fully equipped with anything you would ever need for a short or long term stay. The price is unbeatable and walking distance from dining, and local hang outs. We rented a couple of the cabins and they were both incredibly clean They felt like our own little homes Thank you for the wonderful memories. We’ll certainly return.

I stayed at the place. It was small but cozy. I stayed there on and off for about three months my house burned down in the running springs fire lori was very nice to me. It is a great little place very close to the little town walking distance. I reccomend this place to my friends they liked it.

Their website is very misleading. They advertise these «wonderful cottages» and in picture they do appear to be but once we actually got there it was the complete opposite. The room we got is called the «Purple Rainbow Suite». This room was NOT a suite. It was a basement converted into a room. Although the place was clean it was not very spacious and it’s supposed to sleep 4. One of the two bathrooms is so tiny that when you sit on the toilet your knees can touch the shower and the other is out in the open.
Aside from the space deprivation, we got NO SLEEP because the owner felt like platforms and walking around the whole night. Since we were right below her house we heard EVERY one of her steps. Once we were able to fall asleep, we were later woken up in the middle of the night by two shady people making a ruckus. After that we were not able to sleep. By the time we were trying to fall asleep, the owner woke up (very early) and decided to wear the same shoes and walk around like crazy making all sorts of noises. I am very heavy sleeper if I wasn’t able to sleep because of the noise factor that says something.
We tried to see if we could maybe change rooms but apparently «everything» was booked so we packed our stuff and left. We left before our scheduled departure because we couldn’t take another night of torture. They didn’t offer a refund or anything.
I would not recommend this place. The management is horrible.

This very charming place is right in the heart of the laid-​back town of Running Springs. If it’s affordability you’re after, with easy proximity to Arrowhead or Big Bear, check it out. Their friendly pooch, Frodo, is all the more reason to stay. Bring the gang, book a bunch of cabins and have a blast in a town that truly welcomes visitors.
