We went with our group of 15 friends and the place was awesome. We probably could have comfortably slept about 5 more people. We went during the winter and it is VERY close to both Big Bear Mountain and Snow Summit. The owners are also very nice and responded to every question I had. Overall--such a great time at this house.

Starvation Flats Ranch is a wonderful venue for all families and groups to enjoy an absolutely terrific winter holiday.
The main house and accompanying bunk house are very, very clean, well equipped and provided ALL requirements necessary to make this a most fun-filled and wonderful vacation.
The vast property offered sledding, snow man building and ther outdoor activities including a large heated Hot-tub. Indoors there is excellent sleeping facilities, ample storage and closet space. Each bedroom is well decorated, cozy and comfortable.
The kitchen is spacious and provides great dining room for everyone.
Wood burning fireplace, super game room, pool table and a great slection of”games for all ages” are also provided.
The Ranch is only a few minutes from ski slopes, tubing adventures, ample number of restaurants and grocery facilities.
It is without ANY reservation we ecommend Starvation Flats Ranch for any large family or group that wants to experience a SPECIAL HOLIDAY TRIP.

Our group had a great time in your ranch. The house is pretty, cozy and it is a perfect size for us. The ranch is amazing with a lot of nature and peace around there. Ken, the owner, is very friendly and flexible. We can’t wait to staying there again.

Our family of 13 stayed here and there was plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen is great and has everything you need for cooking. The pool table was put to good use when we weren’t outside enjoying the amazing property playing in the snow. Many areas right on the property for sledding so that made it great not having to drive anywhere to find a sledding hill and place to park. Hiked up the hill and the view of the ski slopes is beautiful. Owners are great with communication! Definitely will be back!

Susan and Ken's family ranch is a beautiful gem of a property to have a nice small gathering with family or friends. It has a warm, welcoming feel and really gives you a feeling of natural wilderness while still being right near the town center of Big Bear Lake. Susan and Ken were easy to communicate with and the amenities provided were top notch. My group had an amazing time staying there while on getaway from city living and would highly recommend this rental.

We have stayed at many great properties in Big Bear and this one is simply the best. The owners are so kind, helpful and attentive and the cabin is well appointed, spacious and comfortable. The property is a dream for kids and teens with lots of open space, a bunk house, an outdoor hot tub, and lots of forest and a creek to explore. Thank you Susan and Ken for all your help and advice and kindness to share your lovely home with us. We will definitely be back. Reem Harwell and family.

Susan and Ken’s property provided everything we could have asked for. The kids enjoyed sledding and spending time outside. The adults loved the fact that we could watch them from the dining room :) our time spent here was definitely a good time! Thank you.

The communication with Susan and Ken was great. Ken met us at their beautiful property and gave us a tour and instructions. We are a family of 8 adults and 7 grandchildren, (grandparents, adult children and spouses, teenage, elementary age and 2 year old grand children), and everyone loved the property. We had snow and the kids (and adults) loved playing and walking around the property. Our own big playground. They played hide and seek, played on the playhouse deck, tried snow boarding, sledding. 15 year old loved the jacuzzi. There were 15 of us and we initially were going to put 4 in the bunk house but were having fun being together and were able to arrange for all of us to sleep in the big house. We took our own games but there are plenty of games and the pool table was a huge hit with everyone. Although there are flat screen TVs everywhere we never once in 4 days turned any of them on. We have stayed at quite a few different homes in Big Bear and this property is by far the best as far as outside activities and large property. The inside has everything that you could possibly need, one big living area that fit us all very nicely. We only left one time to find some bigger snow hills for the teenagers to use their snowboards, did not even go to the snow skiing area. We hope to return to Starvation Flats. Thank you Susan and Ken.
