Experience the Legend: Brackenfern Manor
Step back into the Roaring ’20s at Brackenfern Manor, a storied Lake Arrowhead estate once run by notorious mobster Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel. Originally opening as Club Arrowhead of the Pines in the late 1920s, the manor served as an illicit playground for Hollywood’s elite—complete with a brothel, speakeasy, and gambling—before helping lay the foundation for Las Vegas itself.
Surrounded by pines and dogwoods at elevation, this Certified Historic Landmark blends vintage charm with mysterious allure. The property features 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, a full kitchen, a redwood sauna, and private parking for up to 10 cars—perfect for retreats, special celebrations, or immersive getaways.
Beyond its glamorous past, Brackenfern Manor is steeped in ghostly legend and paranormal intrigue. Guests and investigators report lingering spirits—Violet, a tragic working girl whose violet-scented perfume still drifts through the halls after her mysterious death, and a spectral little boy, rumored to be a victim of a horse trampling—whose tiny footsteps appear in the snow.
Whether drawn by its mobster legacy, vintage elegance, or spine-tingling hauntings, staying at Brackenfern Manor offers a truly unforgettable experience. Book the entire manor to enjoy every haunted corridor, vintage comfort, and haunting tale in privacy.
