EDIT: Theyre gone :-(
It's now a place called spade and spatula, which is decent. I like their menu offerings, but they seem to have staffing issues as do so many other establishments. Took a very long time to get food.
.Go for a quick espresso or sandwich to go. Or stay for happy hour drinks and flatbreads.

Old fashioned grocery store. Watch chocolates get hand dipped, sit down and get a malted milkshake made at the retro soda bar. Good deli sandwiches. Great meat and produce selection, cool enormous fish tank in the back. Cool little stop to stock up.

Awesome elevated view of Crestline and lake Gregory. This is the place to go for Mariscos, fresh chips and salsa and Coronas or margaritas!! Coconut shrimp are delicious!
Forget about hortencias unless you ONLY are interested in the big views and not actually hungry or thirsty.

Half their beers are actually good which is more than I'd say about most breweries I've been to. Great for outdoor hangs if weather allows, walk along the water at the village before or after. Sometimes they have good food vendors. Good music, good vibes reasonable prices. Pet friendly.

Sightseeing
Beautiful meandering trail through cedars along an active stream leads to a wonderfully perfectly heart shaped rock.
The trail gets very busy with tourists and if you want to escape civilization, this is not the place to go, for that I’d recommend hiking directly from the chalet, not driving. But there’s a reason it’s popular.

Parks & Nature
This is hiking distance from the chalet. I don’t necessarily recommend the actual lookout tower, it’s rather industrial looking, though if it is staffed, the rangers might have time to give you a quick tour / point out the view. But if you hike in that general direction from the chalet you will enjoy the pine forests and views at the top of the ridge.

The neighborhood is surrounded by National Forest. Walk a couple hundred yards to and up Bear Springs Rd into the peaceful and beautiful San Bernardino National Forest. Walk up to the right to get to the water tower and look towards Lake Arrowhead. Walk up and to the left and make your way up to Strawberry Peak ridge and see all of SoCal!! Amazing sunsets.
Easy walk for children but please beware people drive fast on Bear Springs road. And you are at altitude so page yourself.

Fantastic national Forest Park/campground just a mile away but I'd recommend driving there. Very large campground had lots of amenities and is open for day use without a fee last time I checked. You may have to park outside the entrance though depending on the season.
There are a couple trailheads here with a variety of hikes and views ranging from very level and easy to more advanced.

Old fashioned thrift shop in the basement beside the grocery store. Not as trendy or high end as the antique shops in Crestline, but some real hidden gems and can’t beat the prices of course.
Forget your jacket? Try this place.

“The Depot” at Valero gas station is a 24hour convenience store that has most anything you might need. It also houses “Angie’s” Mexican food to-go which has short hours but is pretty darn good and well priced.
