Built in 1928 as a movie investor's luxury resort and now a declared historical landmark, Gold Mountain Manor offers a return to the relaxed elegance of yesteryear in the pristine mountain setting that is Big Bear Lake. Set on an acre of Ponderosa pine, the park-like front yard, complete with hammock for two in the shade and perennial gardens, beckons one to relax and listen to the wind through the pines with your someone special. Then come inside our log cabin mansion where the massive field rock fireplace in the Parlor welcomes you and an antique Player Piano stands ever ready to entertain. The Great Room challenges you with billiards and also offers an exceptional short story library, if your desire is to relax by the fire and read. The wraparound veranda with comfy seating areas sets the scene for contemplation and romance.
