    Lakefront and Local puts you right on the water with a private boat slip and front-row lake views of the 4th of July fireworks - summer days unfold on the dock, and evenings end with reflections shimmering across the lake just beyond your balcony. With the Village within walking distance, the experience flows effortlessly from mornings on the water to afternoons in town and relaxed nights back at the lake.

    Inside, the home blends modern finishes with warm, layered textures that create a relaxed, elevated feel. The main living area is designed for connection, with comfortable seating, a gas fireplace, and a smart TV for easy streaming. Large windows and sliding doors bring in natural light and keep the lake in view throughout the day. The fully equipped kitchen supports everything from simple breakfasts to shared meals, with a dining table and bar seating that make gathering easy and natural.

    Outdoor living
    Multiple balconies extend the living space outdoors, offering fresh mountain air and uninterrupted lake and mountain views. Enjoy morning coffee overlooking the water, cook on the BBQ, or unwind as the light shifts across the lake. The private dock and boat slip provide direct lake access, ideal for getting out on the water or simply relaxing at the edge of it. A community hot tub and pool area are just a short walk away, offering an additional place to recharge.

    Sleeping arrangements
    The three-level layout offers both privacy and flexibility, making it especially well suited for multi-generational family stays.

    Primary bedroom - King bed, private lakefront balcony, ensuite bathroom with jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower, smart TV
    Second bedroom - Two twin beds, built-in desk, smart TV, adjacent full bathroom
    Studio suite - Queen bed, private entrance, kitchenette, gas fireplace, patio with Blackstone grill, full bathroom

    The separate downstairs studio with its own kitchenette creates an ideal setup for grandparents, couples, or anyone who values a bit more privacy while still being connected to the home.

    Comfort and convenience
    The home is equipped for year‑round stays, with heating throughout and wall A/C units for warmer months. Please note the home does not have central air; the third‑floor bedrooms each have a wall A/C unit. Ultra-fast WiFi supports streaming, remote work, and multiple devices. A washer and dryer provide added convenience, and the garage offers space for storing skis, snowboards, and bikes. TVs are streaming-enabled, allowing guests to access their preferred apps.

    Location
    Set in Big Bear Lake Central, this location offers a rare balance of lakefront access and walkability. The Village is an easy walk, making it simple to enjoy dining, shopping, and local events without needing to drive. Snow Summit is just a short drive away, offering quick access to skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and biking depending on the season.
