The house is warmed by central heat and is extremely well insulated. Bear Haven has TWO water heaters; one for each floor so there should always be plenty of hot water!

Bear Haven sits on a large flat lot with lots of room for the kids to play, there are open areas behind us and half a block away are trails that lead into a 700 acre preserve.

We have seen bears, deer, coyotes, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, and so many different birds around the cabin. Bring some seed and fill up the feeder on the back deck, then sit back and wait to see all the critters that come! Our daughter has even had the Nuthatches eat seeds right out of her hand

Personal touches like hand made furniture, hand made quilt wall hangings, paintings by local artists, taxidermy, old photos showing Big Bear history decorate the cabin. Cleanliness is highly important to us so Bear Haven is professionally cleaned after each guest, so whether it is your family or our ours that is the next to arrive it is ready, clean and sparkling!

Our family has made many special memories at Bear Haven and we hope your family will too!

Exceeded Our Expectations!
Our stay at Bear Haven was amazing! The owners and property managers were so kind and oh so hospitable. The cabin was impeccably clean and so lovely. The cabin is so cozy and provided us with four wonderful days with our children and grandchildren. The TV is equipped with everything you could hope to watch and the gaming system provided us with lots of healthy and fun competition. I can't recommend this cabin enough!

Amazing Christmas Cabin for the Family
Our little ones absolutely adored staying here! As did we! The kitchen was nicely stocked - which made us feel so welcomed - and there was a wonderful selection of comfy blankets to keep us cozy for our holiday vacation. Everything was so clean. Most of all - the decor was the best part! Beautiful quilt work, art, wall decor, and the bear haven theme was so fun! There are also games and puzzles! We definitely hope to return!

The pictures are completely accurate but cannot begin to show the spectacular beauty of this home. The little touches at every turn, the sheer spaciousness, the quiet neighborhood and nearby trails. It was so hard to leave when our 4 days were up and return to the real world, we would return in a heartbeat, fantastic memories, great hosts nearby and the owners were just so delightful, I hope you get a chance to be here too someday. We can't wait to visit again.

Lovely Cabin for Family Snow Weekend
Bear Haven was fantastic. We loved our time there and felt that the listing was very accurate. The main family room was spacious enough for us all to enjoy time together playing games in front of the fire and watching movies. There were a bunch of board games under the coffee table in the family room that my kids were thrilled about. There were plenty of blankets available for us to cuddle up in, so we felt cozy and warm the whole weekend. The kitchen had everything we needed for us to make delicious meals, although I was surprised there was no cooking oil, just because it had everything else you would need. Fortunately, I brought my own little bottle of olive oil so we were covered. This is not a complaint at all...just a tip for anyone planning to stay there to bring some cooking oil. Bear Haven is in a lovely location with beautiful views. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider returning for another family snow weekend!

Great Stay!
This property was perfect for my family. We had me and my husband, 2 kids and my mom/dad and brother. The property was very clean and the master bed was very comfortable. Plenty of space and the side yard is a great area to play in. It was a very easy and accommodating check in and the hosts were very nice and responsive.

We had a wonderful stay and trip thanks to this charming property. The area recommendations from the property owners were spot on and had easy to follow directions on how to use everything on the property. The TV had a plethora of apps that were ready to watch including paramount +, youtube tv, hbo, disney, etc. My kids also enjoyed the video games & board games. The hiking trail is very close and allowed for some fun snowball fights. The heater in this place is no joke, you will NOT be cold. We actually had to lower the thermostat at night because we were too hot. Highly recommend the property to others and will be back.

Best Big Bear Stay Ever! @ Bear Haven Cabin
This property was just as advertised. Phenomenal. Great cabin, clean, amazing cabin decor, and great location. Four of us stayed here - My wife, two children (ages 9 and 11), and I. We couldn't have had a better time. The cabin was outstanding. The location was amazing - quiet and peaceful. And it had just snowed so we had snowball fights, built a snowman, and hiked the nearby trail! Then at night we played board games, watched movies, and played on the table top arcade game - so much fun!!! Mark was communicative and helpful. We took full advantage of his recommendations for dining and had a wonderful lunch at Get the Burger! Property manager Pam was fantastic, helpful, and prompt. If you want a perfect family cabin experience, this is it! Thank you Mark, Susie, and Pam!

Best Mountain Getaway
This was by far the best rental my family has stayed in through VRBO! Mark and Suzie have thought about everything to make this the perfect place to stay in Big Bear. Three cozy couches right near the fireplace make it a great place to hang with the family and play games or watch TV. It is also open to the kitchen, which is well appointed with anything you might need, making it possible to still feel part of the action. We had a group of 5 adults and 2 children. The 3 bedrooms were a perfect fit and the beds were all very comfortable. The cleanest rental I've seen by far. The higher elevation of the cabin made for awesome sunsets and views. Close to town as well. I cannot say enough good things about Bear Haven. Mark was great at communicating with us before and during our stay and Pam, who helps manage the property when Mark and Suzie are away, was also great at communication and prompt at meeting us at the house to check-in. This will definitely be our #1 option for a rental cabin in Big Bear! Don't hesitate to book it!

We have never stayed at a more spacious and well-appointed home. The owners took every care to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Kids, parents, and grandparents alike played board games and video games. We took a long walk at the Ecological Preserve just down the street, and had tons of fun in the snow on the property. The property manager and the owners were very easy to communicate with and available for even the smallest question. We truly enjoyed our quality time together at Bear Haven Cabin. Thank you!
