Settle into the plush sofa or leather lounge chairs, put a vinyl on the record player, or stream your favorite show on the smart TV. New heating and air conditioning keep the space comfortable year-round — a rare perk in Big Bear. 🍳 Kitchen With Forest Views The updated kitchen includes modern appliances, a farmhouse sink overlooking the trees, multiple coffee-making options, quality cookware, and a small bar setup for evening cocktails.

Before driving up the mountain, please check road via Caltrans QuickMap or another reliable online source. Caltrans requires all vehicles to carry tire chains when chain controls may be in effect during snowy weather. We also strongly recommend arriving before dark during winter months for safety and comfort. 🔥 Propane for Grill & Fire Pit We provide propane tanks for both the grill and outdoor propane fire pit; however, propane is not guaranteed to be full for each guest. If you plan to use either amenity, please check the propane level upon arrival. Guests are responsible for refilling propane if needed. The closest refill station is DIY Home Center on Big Bear Blvd (about 6 minutes away). 🗑 Trash Disposal (City Requirement) All guests are encouraged to take their trash to: Clean Bear Site #1 – 41974 Garstin Dr, Big Bear Lake, CA It’s quick and easy, though it can be busiest on Sunday mornings. 🐻 Wildlife Big Bear is home to raccoons, coyotes, deer, and the occasional bear. For your safety, never leave food, trash, or coolers outside. ♨ Hot Tub Please shower before entering. No soaps, oils, or bath products. Replace the cover after each use to help maintain heat and water quality. ❄ Mini-Split Heater/AC (DF Mode) While very rare, the mini-split system may temporarily show “DF” on the display during cold weather. This means it has entered defrost mode, which is completely normal and typically resolves on its own within a few minutes. Heating will resume automatically. 🏡 City Rental License This property is a licensed and registered Big Bear Lake Transient Private Home Rental.
