Lakefront Paradise with Beautiful Views and an Easy Walk to the Village

Located within two to three blocks to the center of The Village and just a five-minute drive to the Snow Summit Ski Lifts. Everything you will need is within close proximity once you land at this resort-like vacation rental. In the summer you can swim, boat, fish and sight-see from your own backyard. In the winter you can go skiing (alpine or cross-country), snowboarding, sledding/tubing and enjoy the beautiful snow. This is lakefront at a fraction of the cost of renting lakefront.

This beautiful lakefront condo is one of three units in a triplex. It was built in 1977 and the given name of the complex is: Lake Chalets. The name of our unit is: Lakefront Retreat. There are two buildings on the lot. The 1st building facing the street has garages and a unit above. The rear building has two units. Our unit is the top floor of the rear building, which has no shared walls and a huge deck with unobstructed lake views.

The two-story condo feels much more like a private home than a condo; there are no hallways to get lost in and it is very private. It has cathedral ceilings and tudor details. This does not feel like a condo or a triplex; it is much more private and feels like a cabin. The lot is over 9000 square feet sitting 'on' the lake. There is plenty of room for activities while waiting for your next boat ride/water ski, your next big catch, snow play or simply watching the boats come and go from the nearby, adjacent marina.

Bedding Configuration: The master BR has a queen-size platform bed featuring a down comforter with duvet plus down pillows with high thread count linens. The master features its own large closet with remote color 20-inch TV with Charter TV and DVD player. It also has end tables with lamps, alarm clock and antique armoire for storage of all additional linens, towels and blankets.

The second bedroom has a queen-size bed with down comforter and duvet plus down pillows 'and' a matching bunk bed separated by an end table with lamp and alarm clock. A modest stackable washer/dryer is in the closet for easy storage and access.

The third and fourth sleeping areas are dual lofts separated by one shared bathroom on the second floor. Each loft is open, with no walls, and has two single beds on each side sleeping four total in the loft area. There is a closet in the bathroom and a hanging rack in the hallway. The ceiling in this area is a bit lower so best for the kids in the family to enjoy or average height adults.

Living Room: 40-inch Flat Screen TV with Charter, wireless internet (airport and ethernet), mac computer and DVD player. Enjoy a crackling fire in the rock fireplace on our comfortable ultra suede sectional couch.

Deck: Just off the Kitchen sits the Deck, that includes views of tall pine trees and clear skies for stargazing or snowfall. Enjoy the sunset from the sit-down views, while melting away the stresses and strains of everyday life.

Backyard: Oversized and huge, the backyard has room for any outdoor activity you can think of including, in the winter, making snow angels in the snow-covered backyard which lies just a few steps down from your own shared dock.

Kitchen: Fully-equipped kitchen with travertine floors, dishes and settings for 12 persons, and all appliances - oven/range for big meals, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, coffee maker and a steak knife set for your steak dinners. With amazing views of the lake through the sliding windows above the sink, and all kitchen utensils, pots and pans - you'll be hard pressed to find a better-stocked kitchen.

Parking: We have off-street parking for 2 cars maximum, (one garage parking spot and one driveway parking spot.)

Cabin was clean. Has a wonderful view of the lake. There were 5 adults and two teens. Dinning table just fit us nicely. Could use brighter lights in the living area, and maybe sitting arrangements for 7 people to watch TV. Definitely needs new flooring. We had a great time.

I was only able to stay 3 days of my 8 scheduled. The fire caused me to evacuate. The owner was great! She text me an said she would reschedule my trip. Otherwise, I was looking forward to staying the entire week. Place was great location. Carpet was filthy.

Great view
Right on the lake as advertised. Home needs some TlC. Baseboard fell off in bathroom. Rug was very stained. Knobs on many light switches missing. Back neighbors clearly not happy about renters. We really enjoyed our time there. Plenty of room to relax. Beautiful sunsets from the deck.

Great location, great price!
Lake front property for sure! Watching the sun rise/set over the lake is gorgeous. Very short walk to the Big Bear Marina and the Village. We loved being able to walk to so many destinations. Kari and Terry are super easy to work with and very accessible. Two small complaints about the property: 1) No air conditioning and during the summer it got pretty stuffy even with the fans running. 2) Coffee maker is a Keurig style and I would have brought some K-cups, but brought beans and grinder instead.

A gem of place
This is a great little place. It’s such a great location that my hubby and I just do takeout and sit on the patio watch the view rather than sit in a restaurant. It’s right on the water and has views from the entire back of the unit. I love it so much. And Kari is a great host. I highly recommend it.

We loved the hojuse and location - Only problem we had is the people staying in the bottom unit had two big boxer dogs the freaked our dog out so we couldn’t go and use the yard. They let them just roam around the whole weekend in the yard without a leash.😡

We've stayed at Big Bear Lakefront 6 times since 2016 and we look forward to returning again and again! Kari, is a wonderful host. Always quick to respond, very helpful and kind. The location is perfect! It's lakefront, quiet, walking distance to the Village and the marina/boat rentals. We absolutely love this place - perfect getaway that's become our annual family tradition. Thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
To begin, we never received any communication as to what we were supposed to do when we got to the cabin. Once there, the person that let us in, started demeaning the owner of the front property thus poking the bear creating an unnecessary confrontation and made us feel completely uncomfortable . He was a very nice man by the way and I hope he wins his grievance. Once inside we found dog pee on furniture and carpeting. The television areas were extremely dusty and we even found a fake finger nail near the dirty dining table. The home is just dated and really not that comfortable. The only good thing was the view and location. I went through Expedia in the hopes for reputable places but this a VRBO, a cancer to locals. Do better, because if I am paying an additional amount for cleanliness, it wasn’t it. They even have the nerve to ask you start the laundry for them.

It was very dusty especially around the kitchen table. The kitchen table was really hard to sit at.
The location is nice in the summer but the winter was horrible. Getting from the rental to the village took almost an hour. Not really ideal for a family vacation at least not in the winter. Way too busy and over priced.
