About this property

Ponderosa by the Lake by Destination Big Bear : Walk to the Lake & Marina! Lake Views! Pool Table!

Ponderosa By The Lake can be your next home away from home in the mountains and Big Bear Lake!  Located just minutes from the lake and marina for summer fun on the water.  A short drive gets you to sledding and to the resorts for winter adventure!

This sprawling family cabin boasts plenty of mountain charm with wood floors, a gas fireplace, log furnishings and views of the beautiful trees and peek-a-boo views of the lake.  The large living room sofa is comfortable for those wanting to watch the flat screen TV with Dish satellite and DVD.  The log dining table has room for 6 with additional seating in the glass-surrounded breakfast nook that feels like you are eating outdoors. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics for preparing a meal and includes a glass top electric range, microwave, dishwasher, toaster oven, regular coffee maker and Keurig machine. If mountain air is what you crave, step out to the covered patio with seating and ceiling fans, and barbecues with propane and charcoal options. Kids will enjoy playing catch or building a snowman in the flat front yard at this big bear cabin.

Just off the kitchen is the family room with wood burning fireplace, pull-out sofa, love seat and access to the patio and a 3/4 bathroom.  Down the main floor hallway you will find a full bathroom that is shared with the first bedroom.  This bedroom has a queen bed and TV with DVD player.  Further down the hall is the second bedroom with king bed and access to the 3/4 bath that is shared with the family room.

For those who are looking for entertainment you can step through the connecting hallway to the family room that is perfect for storing all of your winter gear.  From here you can also head into the garage game room with card table, pool table, air hockey.  The third bedroom is also off this hall and includes a queen bed, twin over full bunk, TV with DVD player and private 3/4 bath.

Upstairs is even more sleeping and lounging space!  A sitting area has a TV with Dish satellite and DVD player.  A full bathroom is convenient next to the sleeping side of the room.  Two twin beds and two futons complete the space.  Just off the common room is a private bedroom with a twin bed, queen, and vanity with sink.

This cabin has all of the amenities that your family and friends will love!

Note: No washer/dryer available for guests.

Agua y secadora de ropa
Todo bien, ubicación, amenidades, camas, pero el detalle que sólo se puede meter a bañar una persona a la vez cuando es una casa grande, éramos 14 y tuvimos que hacer turnos. Y el que no se pueda usar la secadora de ropa es algo que pensábamos si se podía usar y después de un día de esquiar algo llega húmedo.

Clean and accommodating
Property is clean, plenty of parking, and plenty of extra blankets. The very large mud room was a nice bonus for storing wet snow gear. Had to wash the dishes as the previous renters did do a good job on them. Minor issue with Jacuzzi circuit breaker popping when you turn on jets while heater is on. All and All the place was very accommodating and we had a great time.
