Serene retreat is just steps to the National Forest

This serene retreat is just steps to the National Forest and the lake and ski resorts are just minutes away. This two storey home has 1 bedroom plus a spacious loft and 1 bath, furnished and decorated in Big Bear Mountain Charm. We have all the amenities you will need so you feel at home as soon as you arrive. (Ideal for 2 Couples or small family)
The space

Other things to note
The photo's don't show the houses on the right and left of the cabin but I do have neighbors. It is not as totally secluded as it appears but it is in a remote and less populated area. There are 10 houses on the dead end street. Most of the people on the block are not full time residents. It is usually extremely quiet. The cabin is located 4.2 Mi. to Snow Summit Skiing about a 10min. drive, 1.5 Mi. to Big Bear Lake about a 3 Min. drive, and 5.1 Mi to the Village of Big Bear year round resort about a 12 Min. drive.

We had an amazing stay. The place was cozy, spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Perfect location, close enough to the town but still peaceful and private. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing retreat.

Cute and cozy cabin, just perfect!

This was our very first time in Big Bear and we could not have picked a better location! The cabin is ADORABLE and OH SO COZY! More than enough amenities provided- plenty of eating utensils and dishes, cups, etc. Bath linens and hot tub towels were provided. The hot tub in the cold snowy weather was quite the experience and I wish I could stay in the tub all day and night! The cabin is located closeby to all of Big Bear’s great locations- under 10 mins to Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, 2 grocery stores, plenty of restaurants nearby, the lake… There are plenty of other properties in the neighborhood but this cabin is located on a dead end street so it’s super quiet! Plenty of room around the area for the kids to have snow play in and we didn’t have to worry about them being in any danger from passing vehicles. The upstairs loft is so cool and the kids LOVED it. We love this cabin and plan to be back! Thank you Tony for all the thorough instructions and for always quickly getting back to us with any questions and concerns!
