ALA Property Access Rules (Including STR Client Access)
The Court in the Vertical Web Ventures, Inc. v. ALA case entered a Preliminary Injunction Order
(“Order”) which, among other things, allows people who rent residences in Arrowhead Woods
for a period of less than 30 days (“short-term rental clients”) to access Lake Arrowhead (the
“Lake”) and the Reserve Strips (the “Strips”). In compliance with the Order, ALA will no longer
enforce ALA Bylaw Article II Section C which prohibits short-term rental clients from accessing
the Lake and the strips. ALA will also not prohibit Arrowhead Woods property owners, whether
ALA members or not, their guests, lessees, and short-term rental clients from accessing the
Lake or Strips.
ALA Property Access Rules are as follows:
1. ALA General Member:
ALA General Members can use their ALA membership/RFID card to access the Lake and Strips.
ALA General Members can also use any ALA registered boat/watercraft providing the member
has satisfied all ALA operator licensing requirements, has the required ALA boat/watercraft
operator license in their possession, carries photo identification, such as a driver’s license, and
carries their ALA membership/RFID card. ALA General Members cannot use ALA property for a
business or commercial purpose.
Family members and non-paying guests of an ALA General Member can use the ALA member’s
membership/RFID card to access the Lake and Strips provided the ALA member puts the family
member’s or guest’s name on the member’s approved guest list with ALA. Family members and
non-paying guests can use the ALA member’s registered boat/watercraft providing the guest or
family member has satisfied all ALA operator licensing requirements, has the required ALA
boat/watercraft operator license in their possession, carries photo identification, such as a
