My husband and I are both LA designers who recently finished an amazing “mini lodge” in Big Bear Lake, CA which has a fun Hollywood history.
It’s historical, vintage and fabulous. We feel strongly that your readers would FLIP over “The Knickerbocker Lodge”
STORY: after searching for 3 years, we finally found our diamond in the rough. We were hoping for something old, possibly historical and more of a mountain home vs a cabin. The Knickerbocker Lodge is rumored to have been built by the Bicardi Rum family, who happen to be Desi Arnez’s (Ricky & Lucy) grandparents. Meaning Ricky and Lucy would frequent the home on family getaways.
We bought the home in November 2020 and started a full remodel to a home that had unfortunately been completely neglected over time. What was a bio-hazard due to rodent infestation, mold and termite issues, structural damage, etc 7 weeks later, touching every single surface the renovation was completed and The Knickerbocker Lodge was born.
