For a quiet retreat away from urban hustle and bustle, it doesn't get any better than Big Bear. Immersed in nature, this little village provides all the best of lake life in the mountains of the San Bernardino National Forest. The recreational activities in this area, such as hiking, biking, skiing, and fishing, maintain Mother Nature as the premier attraction, although shopping, dining, and live entertainment can be enjoyed in The Village.

This location is also ideal for its close proximity to nearby Big Bear Mountain Resort with thrilling ski runs in the winter and serviced mountain biking, the Scenic Sky Chair, and 9 holes of golf to enjoy during the offseason. The resort is just 10 minutes away with 26 lifts, 55 runs, and options for every experience level. Non-skiers can get their thrill with high-speed tubing down the slopes. Big Bear’s 3 snowtubing locations (Alpine Slide, Big Bear Snow Play, and Grizzly Ridge Tube Park) are equipped with moving walkways which carry you to the top of the tubing runs. These fun-filled locations feature year-round options as well with summer tubing, mountain coaster ride, ropes course, waterslides, and more.

Beautiful location
The check in process was very frustrating and I place that on VRBO. The actual property was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only draw back was the stairs, maybe make it a little clearer in the listing how the two levels are set up. Also parking was a little challenging for 2 cars.

Awesome Property, Great Location
Exceptionally clean interior spaces made us feel immediately comfortable and "at home." For us, the homerun for this home is its spacious and well lit great room and kitchen. Both were huge and offered a great place to congregate. Kitchen was stocked with everything and anything any cook would want. Stove, microwave, etc were all up to their tasks. The unit is also close to hiking trails that we appreciated. Great place, highly recommended.

Wonderful Get-Away
Our family had never taken a vacation before and this was a wonderful first time get-away. Our children didn't want to go home. :) We spent time relaxing, taking walks and playing on the mountain. We'll be back! P.S. Our only suggestion is to replace the hard beds.

Management company Lack of accountability
Arrived on a Friday evening after dark and found the short, incredibly steep driveway to be covered in snow/ice. Was unable to get front wheel drive car up driveway. Contacted management company and they said I needed to drive 5 miles down to their office, park car there and Uber 5 miles back to property since public parking on street was prohibited and would result in a $500 ticket from city of Big Bear. My frustration with the Management company is they did not clean, salt or shovel driveway prior to our arrival having reserved property several days in advance. Management acknowledged they had been to the property but didn’t bother to shovel the driveway (i.e. property MANAGEMENT). Early the next morning (Saturday) my kids and I took about 15-20 minutes and shoveled/scraped the snow off the driveway so it was entirely clean and free of snow/ice. I sent pictures of the driveway clean after we did this the next morning and managements response was that we should’ve had a 4 wheel drive vehicle. My response to that is this: we drove over 90 miles to visit with absolutely ZERO issues with traction, snow/ice, etc on any of the roads the entire way, except for driving up steep, short driveway covered in ice/snow. w/ no uber available our family had to walk approx 1/2 a mile through neighborhood to catch trolley. Also, called customer service on drive up for question about check in and was given code to door and advised no check in required. This was also incorrect info
