I worked in Arrowhead at a Boy Scout camp from 1987-1991.  I really can't
recommend places to stay, but I can recommend places to eat.

In the Village, there were two restaurants: Heidi's and Candlewood.  I
was up there on Sunday and Heidi's is now a shoe store and Candlewood has
closed down.  Oh well.  There's another place on the peninsula that used
to be called The Pepper Tree and The Jalapeno Tree that had good Mexican
food.  The place was closed on Sunday.  I don't know if they're still in
business.  Romack's Deli is in the Upper Level, and they have decent
pizza.

In Cedar Glen (before you enter the Village, turn right at the stop light
and look for the 76 station), there's a place called the Cedar Glen Inn. 
(Turn right at the 76 station.  It's on the left near the Post Office) 
Good food, reasonable prices.  Don't eat at The Sportsman, which is
across the street.  It's overpriced and the food isn't too good.

In Blue Jay, there's the Royal Oak, which is pricey ($30/person) but
good.  Don't eat at the Villager.  I got a TV dinner served to me once. 
I kid you not.  But the last I knew, they had the only salad bar on the
hill.  Borderline serves Mexican.  I ate there once, but remember little
of the meal.

In Agua Fria (west of Blue Jay) is Mandarin Garden with reasonably-priced
Chinese food.  There's also a Mexican place called El Cantina del
Papagayo.  I've never been there, but I've heard good things about it.

Jensen's in Blue Jay has a WONDERFUL bakery.  You MUST get an apple
fritter for $.99.  It weighs about 10-12 oz. and is more than a meal. 
Also at Jensen's (in Blue Jay and in Cedar Glen) is a sandwich shop in
the deli.  They make GREAT sandwiches that will make you never want to
eat at Subway again.

If you need any "everyday" things, there's a Stater Bros. grocery store
and Thrifty Drugs in the upper level of the Village.
