Thelodge and extensive facilities were located on the northwest corner of GreenwayBlvd. and East Country Club Blvd., at the present-day site of Peter Pan Storagein Big Bear City. Thebeautiful wooden lodge featured a spacious dining room, additional lounges, acoffee shop, a gymnasium, and a movie theater. There were no guest rooms in theclubhouse, but cabins surrounding the facility could be rented by club members. Theexterior of the grand clubhouse was lined with verandas and patios thatprovided sweeping views of the grounds, and the surrounding pine forest. Theexpansive outdoor swimming pool was built in a unique figure-eight shape. Itwas surrounded by concrete decking and a manicured lawn. Thegrounds around the main building featured tennis courts, a private nine-holegolf course, bridle trails, and a toboggan slide for winter guests. The cluboffered duck hunting excursions on its private reserve at nearby Baldwin Lake, and a floating boathouse on Big Bear Lake provided all the necessities forfisherman. The recently completed Big Bear City Airport allowed guests to flyin from the surrounding cities.Thegreat clubhouse burned in 1948, but the surrounding facilities were still usedfor property owners and their guests. A 2-story lodge building was moved to thesite in 1955, and the name of the facility was changed to the Peter Pan Rancho.The facility never regained its former grandeur, and was closed in the 1970’s.
