We really liked this four-bedroom house in which two of the rooms had (almost) attached bathrooms (the basement and primary floor bedrooms); the top floor has two bedrooms that share a bathroom. Two bedrooms had electric fireplaces (basement and one top floor bedroom) in addition to the wood burning fireplace in the living room. The living room fireplace was efficient creating lots of heat. Each room and the kitchen were spacious, and the kitchen was easy to use with a big fridge, lots of counter space, and well-stocked spices, pots, and pans. The gas grill is connected rather than a propane tank, making it easier for cooking in the winter. The view off the back of the house is beautiful with balconies. Location is 8 minutes to the closest grocery store and 15 minutes from Lake Arrowhead Village. An easy hiking trail is a five-minute walk down the street. Avant Stay hosts were exceptional. We had a few minor questions/challenges, and they responded quickly. We recommend it!– Leah B.

Know the Signs When Your Mind and Body Need a Pause

It’s very easy to feel overwhelmed today. Between work stress, endless screen time, and the pressure to keep up, many people find themselves burned out, distracted, or running on empty. Sometimes, your body and mind send clear signals that it’s time to slow down. But with busy schedules and constant distractions, those signs are easy to ignore. 

Mental health and self-care are more important than ever. And paying attention to how you feel, both physically and emotionally, is the first step in your journey to mental stability and healing. 

Here are some common signs that you might need to take a break and consider a digital detox:

  • You feel tired all the time, even after a full night’s sleep.
  • Small tasks feel overwhelming or unusually difficult.
  • You’re feeling stressed, anxious, or emotionally drained.
  • You’re easily irritated, on edge, or more reactive than usual.
  • You’ve lost motivation or interest in things you usually enjoy.
  • Your body feels tense, achy, or worn down.
  • You’re in doom-scrolling mode and always checking your phone.
  • You’re having trouble sleeping, focusing, or staying present.
  • You feel disconnected from yourself, others, or what matters most.
  • You just feel “off”—like something’s missing or out of sync

If any of these sound familiar, it’s your body and mind asking for attention. And one of the best ways to reset? A simple change of scenery.  An active trip, especially one that’s quiet, tech-light, and close to nature, can help you recharge.

Whether it’s a solo retreat to clear your head or a weekend away with people who make you feel grounded, time off isn’t selfish; it’s smart. When you take care of yourself, everything else gets better, too.

💡 Don’t know when to go? Check out our guide on the the best time to visit Lake Arrowhead to start planning your trip!

Find Your Rhythm Again

Taking time away in nature can help bring you back to balance. Whether you’re sitting outside in the quiet, journaling in the morning light, or simply stepping away from your phone, these small moments of peace are the starting points for supporting your mental fitness, building emotional resilience, taking care of yourself, and reducing overall stress.

Coping with life isn’t just about escaping. It’s about choosing to slow down and reconnect with nature, your people, and your own well-being. Because when you feel rested, you think clearer, breathe easier, and return stronger. It’s not easy to break away from the lifestyle that you’re used to, but starting small are big steps to feel like yourself again.
