The town of Crestline is a blissful mountain destination that's also home to a charming lakeside community.
Located in the San Bernardino National Forest, Crestline is nestled inside a dense pine and cedar forest setting that feels like it's a thousand miles away from the bustling city even though it's only a short 20-minute drive from San Bernardino.
Or, if you don't have a boat of your own, the Lake Gregory Boat House is a great spot for rentals. Make sure to check the operating hours before you visit as the hours change depending on the season.
During other times of the year there's lots of peace and quiet to be found at Crestline on Lake Gregory. Doesn't a tranquil day on the water sound like a blissful afternoon?
Crestline is also home to some charming local shops. You can spend the day browsing and antique shopping at these local gems where you'll find all sorts of treasures.
But the best part of visiting this charming destination is heading back to the lake. There's just something about the beauty of this quaint lakeside town that makes us feel lucky to live in SoCal.
