Ponderosa Peak. Stunning Mountain Views. Location. Breathtaking Home. Games and More

Step into the serene expanses of Ponderosa Peaks, a 5-bedroom estate that stands as a beacon of beauty amidst the mountains.

With its 2-story picture windows and expansive decks, this home offers an unparalleled panorama of the mountains and ski runs, serving as your own private observatory in Big Bear Lake.

Relish your morning coffee on one of the two extensive decks, each offering a 180-degree view of the majestic surroundings. Breathe in the crisp, cool, pine-scented air, as you find your peace above the treetops.

While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.

Inside, the house welcomes you with its modern decor and newly-appointed furnishings. Step into a grand, 2-story great room, complete with a large, comfy sofa, an HDTV for entertainment, a dedicated dining area, and a chef's kitchen to inspire your culinary exploits.

The house is thoughtfully divided into two levels: the entry-level houses one cozy bedroom, while the lower level offers four additional bedrooms and a game room for your entertainment.

This game room serves as the heart of indoor fun with a large Smart HDTV, Golden Tee Golf video game, and a shuffleboard game.

Experience the magic of Big Bear Lake in style and comfort at Ponderosa Peaks. This estate is not just a rental home, but a space that inspires relaxation, entertainment, and unforgettable memories.

Note: We tend to stay well booked year-round. We recommend that you book ahead of time to make sure you secure your desired dates.

*Disclosure: The hammock is only available during summer months, due to high winds.

Stunning Cabin with Amazing Views

Our stay at this Big Bear cabin was incredible! The views were breathtaking, and the cabin was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. The kids loved the play area, and the kids room was much more spacious than I expected. It was the perfect getaway, and we can’t wait to return!

This place was amazing! The pictures don’t do it justice and my whole family really loved the place!! Although it says not child proof, we were surprised and happy that the stairs had a gate that prevented my 1 and 2 year old nephews from going up and down the stairs. Very spacious and open! Love the balconies!!!

Stunning mountain home!

Seriously better than we anticipated. Amazing home with gorgeous views of the ski resorts. The home was immaculate with upgraded modern luxuries and a great game space- not to mention the most incredible bunk room for kids. We enjoyed staying here and enjoying wine on the deck, making delicious meals in the gourmet kitchen and enjoying a much needed getaway! Can’t wait to go back!

We loved it...great place for a family!!

This is a wonderful rental property. The main open living room/den/kitchen has very high vaulted ceiling and windows looking out on slopes. You can make out people skiing from a distance. It is a beautiful view. The deck off the living room is very large. The grill did not work well but we made do. Everything else was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked. We loved the shuffle board table on the lower level. Everything is new and nice. Beds, laundry, TVs, etc. There are lots of DVD movies. All in all a great vacation place for a family. There were three couples and 4 children in our group. Everyone loved it.

Perfect home

The property was as advertised. Updated home with an open floor plan. Rooms were the perfect size for all of us. The views were awesome and it was a very convenient location to the ski resort. Only thing I request is that a dresser or armoire be placed inside the master bedroom because the closet was being used as a storage. Other than that there were no real issues with anything and are looking forward to staying here again.

The property was as advertised. Very spacious and open layout. We stayed with another family (9 total) and had a great time. Location was good. Kitchen had everything we needed and the wine fridge was a bonus. Downstairs golf game was a hit with everyone. Only suggestion is to add some window coverings in the downstairs master as the sun rises early.
