About this property

With two great family/living room areas there's a place for everyone without being crowded !!
Families love the quick 5 minute drive to the main strip area and the ski summit as well as the lake!

Come visit our Swiss chalet style mountain home nestled in the tall pines on a quiet street just a few miles from downtown Big Bear! This property is freshly renovated and ready for lots of family fun! It can sleep up to 16 and has plenty of fun anytime of the year.
FREE LAUNDRY ON SITE please use High Efficiency (H.E.) detergents
With two decks on different levels there is plenty of room for all to enjoy. Feel like you are in a tree house nestled at the top of the pines on the upper deck with beautiful views of the forest and mountains. A nice gas grill and dining set outside just off the living room are great for cooking or a cup of coffee at sunrise. Down below at the opposite side of the home we have another outdoor area just off the family lodge area. Both are wonderful peaceful spaces to enjoy the giant pines that surround you on the property!
For the night time fun we have Foosball, ping pong, darts, corn-hole, poker/gaming table and a great lodge family area complete with a bar, large tv, and fireplace . The lodge is set up so that you and family and friends are able to watch a movie altogether as a group with plenty of seats for all; but, we also have other areas of the home for relaxation by the fireplace WITHOUT all of the hustle and bustle of the main lodge area. The living room offers a space with a fireplace and comfortable couches looking out through the pine forest.
Additionally, on the 3rd floor we have a small office nook for those who unfortunately need to spend time at the desk chasing work and life. (although the kitchen table can serve as the same with a view!)

Great for a multiple family getaway

Property was as listed, except for parking. We fit 4 vehicles ok, but not sure how 7 cars can fit. Other than that... there's lots of space to spread out, kitchen was well stocked with pans/plates/utensils, and beds were fairly comfortable. Communication leading up to the stay was friendly and easy. Thanks for the great stay!

Great Place for the Family

There were 12 of us that were able to enjoy this beautiful home. It was even better than we expected. The accommodations for the whole family worked out perfectly. There was a well-stocked kitchen with all the cooking and serving supplies we needed. The beds were comfortable and there were two cozy living spaces with fireplaces. The property manager was very responsive and helpful when I called him with questions.

Like everything about the property, except the steep driveway. If you have a low car, like we did, it would scratch the bottom, if didn’t know how to drive it up.

About the host

Hosted by Jo Anne Carpenter

We love the lake community! Mountain biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking and the majesty of the giant pines in the forest. This is our family escape and hope it's yours too!

Why they chose this property

It's only a couple miles from everything, even the young kids don't mind the BIKE ride to downtown; but, that being said, it's still a quiet secluded area. from most areas of the house you can see the lights of the ski slopes at night; but, you're far enough away to not have to deal with the anarchy that immediately surrounds it.

What makes this property unique

With the two different decks in entirely different areas of the house we find that it works out great for separation of groups. Both are wonderful, our favorite is the feeling of sitting 40 feet up in the trees on the green deck off the living room. The breeze whispering through the trees and a cup of coffee at sunrise is awesome!
