Sitting directly on the quieter north shore of Big Bear Lake, this house comes with something most lakefront homes don't – a private beach, boat dock, and sand volleyball court all on the water's edge. Multiple decks frame uninterrupted views across the lake towards the San Bernardino National Forest, while inside, a wood-burning fireplace makes cool mountain evenings easy to fill. Two separate living spaces across the two floors give groups room to settle in without crowding each other. Big Bear Mountain Resort is about twenty minutes by car when the snow arrives.

Home truths
There is no air conditioning here, so summer stays rely entirely on natural ventilation and ceiling fans.
You'll have parking for four vehicles on site – handy given that a car is essential for reaching Big Bear Village, the ski resorts, and the shops and restaurants on the south shore.
Noise ordinances are strictly enforced here, and no speakers or sound systems are provided. Violations can result in fines of up to $10,000 per violation, so keep that in mind if you're planning a lively group gathering.
The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
