Classic Lake House by AvantStay | Large Property on the Lake! w/ Hot Tub

Welcome to Classic Lake House, by AvantStay!

This Classic Lake House is one of the original lakefront homes in Big Bear Lake. On a double-wide lot, This Classic Lake House brings you back to a time when life was simpler, relaxing, fun-filled, and stress-free. Travel to this mountain lake home and you will discover what life is all about. Beautiful... fun... fresh mountain air... laughs... good times! 20 feet of deep shoreline, incredible panoramic views of the lake that will include front row seats of the July 4th fireworks. No better way to enjoy the nation's Independence Day than on a dock, on a lake, watching Southern California's best fireworks display. Partially updated in 2020 with new decor and mountain modern furniture, this property is cozy and comfortable. Four bedrooms, including one bunk room for 4-6 kids, will have the entire family dreaming of the day fishing, skiing, exploring, and hanging out on the new deck. The expansive, tree-covered backyard includes a brand new hot tub, swing set, horseshoe pit, and deep water dock for all your water toys.

Only about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles, Big Bear Lake is a beautiful and convenient break from the hustle and bustle of the city. This nature lover’s paradise provides endless year-round activities. In the winter, Big Bear Lake offers skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and tubing. In the summer, visitors love to play water sports, horseback rides, golf, hike, and mountain bike. Head to Big Bear when you need a healthy dose of fresh air, exercise, and rejuvenation.

Perfect for our multi-generational group
This house was everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable. We had the grandparents and aunts/uncles downstairs while our kids stayed in the bunk room upstairs and we stayed just across the hall from them. The rooms were larger than we expected which was a nice surprise. The home had plenty of room but still felt very cozy, especially with the two fire places. The adults enjoyed the jacuzzi while the kids loved the swings and tetherball. We hope to rent this home again the next time we come to Big Bear and we can use the dock right off the property for our boat. Also, I messaged the property manager a few times and they responded right away and were very kind.

The cozy mountain lake house
This property feels like an actual, well loved home, as opposed to a rental property. It has character in so many ways. It is dated and original in all the right ways. The kitchen is adorable. The window above the sink is perfect. The fireplaces, the cosy sofa in the living room, the window seat, the gold trim in the bathrooms...it all adds up to what one would expect in a lakeside cabin in the mountain. I would run away and write a book here (I cannot write so that is saying a lot). The hot tub placement is perfection. Nestled amongst the pine trees fronting the lake. The endless supply of blankets in every drawer and cupboard was genius. We loved watching movies every night and cooking dinner, making breakfast, drinking hot chocolate, exploring the lakeside, collecting the giant pinecones. It was such a a lovely time. I chose this house for the hot tub, swings, bedroom configuration and proximity to town / slopes. We are a large family of 8; 6 children + 2 adults. The older kids slept upstairs in the bunk beds, while the 2 little kids and us adults were downstairs. We rented equipment from Scotty's which was a 4 min drive, and boarded at Snow Summit most days.

Wonderful location!
Loved the location and size of the property. Plenty of space for all of us. The showers and kitchen couldve been cleaned better. The main bathrooms shower had gunk on the doors and tile. We will be back though! Was a great spot for our entire family!

Nice Family Cabin
Great location! Cabin was comfortable and included everything you need. My only suggestion would be to clean up the landscaping in the backyard. It was full of weeds in the fenced area as well as the beach area in front of the dock. If this was cleaned up it would have made for a perfect stay.

House is roomy and great location! Perfect for multiple family vacation. Only complaint - Had all the kids in the water to clear the lake grass in the water around the dock because they could not swim and jet ski's kept ingesting clumps of the stuff. Once we cleared the water, the kids had a blast.

Great stay but still waiting on deposit return
House is in a great location and great setting. Older but in pretty good shape. Great for a large family as there is plenty of space. However, we checked out Aug 2nd and we were told Aug 4th they were refunding our deposit that day and that we should see it within 1-3 days. We have yet to see it.

We were with our large family ages from 3 - 60 years and every one of them enjoyed the stay , the house was clean and warm, hot tub ready to use , we did not find any issues , at first we thought the frig is not working but within the hours it came to right temp.

Great property for families with kids! The house was very inviting when we walked in with music playing on the TVs. The house was very clean. There is plenty of space for the kids to play outside. There were a lot of conveniences such as USB port in the outlet, wireless phone charging stations on the base of the lamps in the bedroom, lots of areas to sleep including pull out couches, extra blankets, extra trash bags, lots of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion, and plenty of towels. The hot tub was great! TV’s in every room. We had a great time and would come again!

Great house, could be even better with small improvements
Overall, we enjoyed staying at the classic lake house. There were a couple issues, mostly with the rental company, that if addressed could have made a good stay, fantastic. First, on the house - there is fantastic outdoor space with a swingset and lake access. The kids loved the bunk bed room and it was nice to have the master bedroom downstairs but also have the option for a adult room on the same level as the bunk bed room. It’s a fun house for kids and would be a great house to share with another family when Covid restrictions are lifted. We visited during a snow storm and our kids had so much fun in the backyard playing in the snow - it’s really an ideal set up for that. A couple areas where we had some issues - the TV on the main room didn’t work. We wanted to watch a family movie one night and crowded into the smaller secondary living room. We never used the beautiful big room because of this. We raised the issue with the rental company and received a couple obvious suggestions - turn the tv off and on, unplug and replug the HDMI cable - that didn’t work. We never heard any more solutions or offers to fix it. The kitchen has everything you need but the pots/pans are all very old. We had a big snow storm during our visit. There are multiple big garages on the property but renters can’t use any of them. We got over a foot of snow and ended up spending a lot of our vacation shoveling our car from the snow. Would have been great to be able to put the car in a garage. The driveway is a small hill and we couldn’t leave the driveway until the snow plow came. In a desperate attempt to get out we snapped the chains on our car and then became completely stuck. We notified the rental company of our problem and with the snow still coming down we told them we were worried about getting out the next day in time for check-out. The response was checkout is at 11. No understanding that we were stuck and no help in problem solving. The day of check out we asked for the driveway to be plowed so we could get out in time. Long story short the plow didn’t come in time so we had to shovel ourselves out (again) and pay a massive amount of money for a local auto body shop to deliver us chains since we couldn’t get out of the unplowed driveway to get to the auto body shop. We felt totally left on our own with no understanding from the rental company.. We figured it out but we spent the majority of our vacation shoveling which was disappointing.
