This luxurious vacation home was recently featured on the Emmy-nominated show “Staycation” as one of the top vacation rentals in Big Bear, California. The rustic retreat includes a scenic lakefront backyard which boasts an expansive deck with a fire pit, outdoor kitchen and outdoor dining gazebo featuring our flush mount WD-Series heaters for cozy mountain nights.

Nationally-recognized, custom home builder Classica Homes was founded in 2010 by partners Bill and Terri Saint to create a niche of remarkably-designed luxury homes in Charlotte, North Carolina. Over the past 20 years, they’ve traveled from east coast to west coast searching for inspiration in home and neighborhood design. Along the way, their team has been recognized for their great success, from being one of Charlotte's Best Places to Work since 2013, to being awarded Charlotte’s Best Builder three times, to winning the Gold National Housing Quality Award, homebuilding’s highest honor.
