Learn more about Lake Forest

Between two man-made lakes and a historic eucalyptus forest lies a slice of Southern California that defies expectations. Enjoy the amenities at the Lake Forest Beach and Tennis Club or hike through Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park where red-tailed hawks circle overhead. The Etnies Skate Park offers concrete dreams for boarders of all levels. Heritage Hill Historic Park provides a glimpse into Orange County before it became, well, Orange County. At Serrano Creek Park, simply watch the light filter through those famous eucalyptus trees – planted in the early 1900s as part of a lumber operation that ironically created the very charm that now defines this unexpected oasis.

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was very clean and modern. The staff was so nice, welcoming and so friendly. The room was spacious and well maintained. Plenty of towels and necessities in the bathroom. Plenty of parking, well located, walking distance to the Disneyland parks and restaurants. The only issue we had is that when we showered at night we didn’t have hot water, only warm water. Both nights that we stayed. Other than that. Everything was great"
