Escape from the city in this cosy yet luxurious woodland home. Los Angeles may only be a hundred miles away, but it's another world up at Big Bear Lake. Fling open the windows to the scent of the pine forest in the morning air, soak in the hot tub, then curl up in front of the stone fireplace. Despite a rustic design with wooden furnishings and vaulted ceilings throughout, the home is packed with modern facilities including a games room. Let the kids duel it out over table tennis while you rustle up a BBQ on the outdoor grill. Gather to eat on the private terrace or dining room, with dreamy forest views from the huge bay windows. Out with your tranquil surroundings, nearby ski resorts will keep winter sports enthusiasts busy. Come summertime, hike or mountain bike along hundreds of miles of trails, or enjoy adrenaline-fueled water sports on the lake. You can even go back in time and try your hand at panning for gold – it's up to you whether you stake your findings on the poker table later that evening.
