Big Bear Lake, California
Set within the coveted gated community of Old North Shore Estates, just a few homes from the trails and waters of Lake Arrowhead, 942 Lake Edge Way is a timeless mountain retreat where classic Americana lodge style meets exceptional craftsmanship. A beautiful, meandering path leads gently toward the lake along a seasonal stream, offering a gradual and scenic approach to the water. The home’s distinctive triple A-frame architecture makes an immediate impression. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, expansive windows, rich wood and slate floors, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling custom stone-and-wood fireplace create interiors that feel both grand and inviting, with views of the lake and surrounding ridgeline forest throughout. Designed for gathering, the main level features generous living and dining spaces, a large kitchen with center island and bar seating, and a recreation area. French doors on either side of the main living space open to a front patio with Lake Arrowhead views and a spacious back deck overlooking the forested ridgeline. Automatic sun awnings provide shade, while automatic storm shutters offer full coverage for winterization. Also on the main level is an oversized bunk room with abundant space for sleeping, playing and relaxing, along with an adjoining bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot tub. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms are all ensuite. The serene primary suite enjoys lake views and a double-sided fireplace shared with the primary bath, where it sits beside a large jetted tub. Outside, two levels of flat, turfed yard space are a rare mountain luxury, offering exceptional room to gather and play. The oversized garage accommodates approximately two to three vehicles, while nearly level parking and a heated concrete entryway make year-round arrival remarkably convenient. With five bedrooms, six bathrooms and exceptional indoor-outdoor living, the home offers a compelling combination of character, comfort and location. Old North Shore Estates is among the limited gated communities on the mountain where short-term rentals are permitted, and the property currently holds an active Airbnb license. A one-half double dock in Winter Harbor may also be purchased separately. Located approximately a five-minute walk from the house, it makes days on Lake Arrowhead remarkably easy and further connects the home to the lake-centered lifestyle.
