The Place On The Lake” was known as Percival’s Boat Landing when it was built in 1924.  It has also been known as Uncle Tom’s Cabins and Landing, as well as, Fogel’s Camp in the 30’s.  The camp featured 17 rustic cabins and a fresh water well that produced ‘the best water in the world”.  During the 40’s the boating operations were leased to Charlie Stillwell and then bought by Winston Baird who along with his son Bob kept the marina until 1989.  The Baird’s expanded the marina and built Marina Ace Hardware on the site, that building is the current home of the BBMWD.  In 1989 Bob Ransom and Bill Thorne took over the marina and began the transformation of the facility into its present day form.

In 1999 Alan Sharp and Greg Boll became the current owners and continue to modernize, expand and improve the marina, making it the premier marina on Big Bear Lake.
