ABOUT THE COMMUNITY
Masthope Mountain Community has a little for everyone to enjoy. Old or young, you can always find something to do. Like to hike, there are hiking trails close to our property. Swim or fish, the lake is just a short drive away. If your more into pools and playgrounds, head up to the top of the mountain and enjoy the two outdoor pools in the summer and the Summit Bar and Restaurant all year round.

Masthope’s premier ski park, Ski Big Bear, is a great place to ski. Take advantage of their Ski School and help your young ones learn to ski. Ski Big Bear is a top to bottom mountain, meaning the Lodge is located at the top of the mountain instead of at the base. Guests receive 25% off ski lift tickets when they purchase tickets in person.

For Spring Renters:
Yes, you will need a fishing license. The outdoor pool isn't open till Memorial Day and then it's only open on the weekends until they go full time which is usually around the 3rd week of June. The lake will be accessible but without lifeguards or boat rentals also until they go full time sometime in June. So you can fish the lake from the shoreline. The horseback riding/stables and petting zoo will be open but it's always best to call ahead since weather plays a big part in what is open and not. The hiking trails are always open, the riverfront is available and the playgrounds/ball fields/courts are always open.
***Our home is NOT listed as Pet Friendly. We understand that many of you feel you have very well-behaved dogs but our policy is strict. Please do not inquire if we will make an exception. Thank you!
