The house on Big Bear Pen Mountain is the perfect get-away for couples, families or even a small group. We have used all in the past and because of floorplan accomodates all easily. The views are wonderful! This is a great house for families because of the flat yard and porches....easy to entertain children. The mountain top is very easy to navigate walking and bike riding. The furnishings are beautiful yet easy to maintain and the kitchen well stocked to fix great meals for a crowd. There are several very good groceries and markets in Highland's...so we enjoy coooking and grilling versus dining out with a group. Excellent cuisine abounds though...if you decide to venture off your mountain top retreat!! Comfortable beds and complete silence make for a perfect night's sleep. A very special place to spend a romantic get away, family get together or small retreat!

We have stayed at this property several times and always had a great time. There is a huge yard for the kids to play and the house is updated and very comfortable. The house is 2 minutes to town and has great mountain views. This is the perfect house for families.

We stayed for a weekend this fall with our family and dogs. The house is spacious and immaculate. The fron tlawn is great for kids to play and the views of the sunrise/sunset are unbelievable. We have stayed in several homes in the highlands and this one is a great find.

The pictures do not do this property justice. It is in excellent condition and very roomy. The large fireplace is perfect on cold winter nights. Our 3 young children (and lab) loved the fact that we were on the very top of the mountain and had incredible views of the sorrounding area. The downtown area is very close, but because the house is up the mountain on a gravel road (well maintained, but 4 wheel drive recommended in the winter, but not necessary as we got by without it), you feel as though you are miles from civilization. We came for New Years and snow tubed at Scaly Mountain, hiked numerous trails, sat by the fireplace and ate in town almost every night. The shopping and dining in town is excellent. The 3 bedrooms in the main house are upscale, but the one over the garage is a little dated. Not recommneded for younger children as it is seperated from the main house. Firewood was supplied for an additional fee, but it was very green and did not burn well. Other than that, our stay was perfect. It snowed 3 of the 7 days we were there and that made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this home and will choose it again when we return.

What a great place to hold a family reunion. We had 9 family members stay at the house very comfortably for one week. When we arrived, the house was immaculately cleaned. We had 3 cooks in the kitchen and served dinner for 11 very easily. I really enjoyed the steam sauna in the master bathroom shower. This is a very peaceful and restful vacation house atop Big Bear Pen Mountain. We will most definetly be spending our next vacation in Highlands here!
