The Space:

Welcome to Ponderosa Peaks. This 5 bedroom amazing estate has views that inspire from the 2-story picture windows and large decks that look out at the mountains and ski runs. Two huge decks with 180-degree views offer a place to sip your morning coffee and gaze at the beauty that is Big Bear Lake. Above the treetops, the crisp, cool, pine-scented air helps guests relax and unwind. The mountain's modern decor and furnishings are new throughout. Walk in through the front door to a very large, 2-story tall great room with a large sofa, HDTV, dining area, and chef's kitchen. This home is two stories with 1 bedroom on the entry-level and 4 bedrooms and a game room on the lower level floor. The game room entertains with a large Smart HDTV, Golden Tee Golf video game, and a shuffleboard game.

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

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!

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!

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!

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.
