Welcome to Vista Cottage! Located in a quiet area of Big Bear Lake, within walking distance to the lake, yet still very close to all that Big Bear has to offer.

Vista Cottage is 900 sq ft, with 3 bedrooms. All waterproof wood look floors throughout the home. 1 full bathroom, kitchen, large yard, and a deck with views of the sunset. Almost all you need to enjoy your stay is provided, including wifi, and air conditioning unit upstairs. More on the space below!

Parking- Tandem 2 car parking on property. All parking is only in driveway, no street parking allowed. Winter months may reduce parking amount due to snow build up. AWD/4x4 is recommended in winter as there is a decline in the driveway.

Living area- has a reclining couch, and love seat. 55' TV with Roku access to stream all your favorite apps/shows. With wifi throughout house.

Fireplace- We do not provide firewood; however if any is left in the home please feel free to use. Wood can be purchased and delivered to the home. We will need advance notice. If you are not familiar with starting fires, we recommend purchasing Duraflame logs. They last a long time, and are easy to maintain.

Kitchen- Is stocked with all dishes, utensils, bake ware, pots and pans. There is full sized fridge, gas stove, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster. A starter pack of paper towels, dish soap, trash bags, sponge, sugar, coffee grounds, and filters are provided.

Dining area- Situated right off the kitchen and living room, with seating for 6 people. Plenty of space for games.

Bedroom 1- King sized bed, and closet shelves for storage.

Bedroom 2- 2 queen sized beds and small dresser.

Bedroom 3- Downstairs- 1 queen sized bed, set of dresser drawers. It is located across hall from bathroom, and near patio door. This room has a space heater.

Linens- 2 kitchen towels, 5 bath towels, 5 spa towels, limited hand towel, and wash cloths. Please bring your own towels for the lake.

Heating- The home is heated by a wall heater in the living room and a mini split unit in the stair area. There are also space heaters provided

Cooling- Like most homes in Big Bear there is no central AC. There is one mini split unit in the upstairs landing. All bedrooms have a ceiling fan.

Some games, and extra blankets are provided in the closet between the bedrooms.

Yard/Deck- located off the back of the home has great sunset views. seating for 4, propane grill, and propane fire pit. The yard has a 3 ft chainlink fence. Be mindful for the safety of your pets.

Grill & Firepit- Propane only. We swap tanks once a week. However if it is empty, please exchange it, and we will reimburse the cost. (Lake View Market is under a mile away)

Hot Tub- Large 6 person hot tub. Spa hours are 7A-10P per Big Bear Lake. Violation of these times can result in eviction and fine.

If traveling in winter, we highly suggest purchasing trip insurance! We have a strict cancellation policy and will stand by it. Winter months can be challenging with snow, ice, road closures, and other things. Cover yourself by purchasing the trip insurance.

We hope you choose Vista Cottage and look forward to hosting you!
