About this property

Whispering Cottage by Destination Big Bear: Walk to Meadow Park & Lake from this Summit Lake Home! Pet Friendly! Fully Fenced Yard!

Whispering Cottage is a charming cabin tucked away beneath the pines of the Summit Lake neighborhood. You’ll love the secluded feeling this cabin offers while still being close to everything in Big Bear. During boating season, take advantage of being only a 5-minute drive from Big Bear Marina. Once the snow begins to fall, Snow Summit Ski Resort is only 1 mile away! Leave the car at the house and walk to Ski Beach Park which provides a ton of fun activities for children during any season.

 Walking into Whispering Cottage you’ll notice the classic mountain feel this home provides with its wood paneling and wood furnishings. The vaulted ceilings make the home feel large and open while the enormous windows provide a warm and welcoming environment. Relax on a cold winter night in front of the stone fireplace as you kick up your feet on the large plush sectional. Enjoy all of your favorite shows and movies on the flatscreen T.V or gather the family around the coffee table for a board game. Plenty of cooking space is provided in the kitchen and a large oven is perfect for baking cookies. A Keurig is provided for you as well so you won’t have to miss out on your coffee in the morning.

When you're ready to settle down for the night, head upstairs where you’ll find all 3 bedrooms. The first bedroom is the master and has a large king-size bed. White beams gorgeously compliment wood vaulted ceilings and a futon sofa and armrest chair provide additional seating for your guests. You’ll love having your own private entrance to the front deck through a sliding glass door, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. The attached master bathroom has a large wall mirror and walk-in shower with a built-in bench. Head down the hall to the second bedroom which includes a queen-size bed. A sizeable window sits next to the bed allowing plenty of natural light and stunning views of the surrounding trees. A sliding door opens up to a closet where you can store some of your belongings during your stay. The third bedroom has a full-size bed against beautifully crafted wood paneling. Another large mirrored closet can also be found in this room for additional storage space.  

Head out to the backyard where you’ll be greeted by crisp mountain air and towering pine trees. A fully fenced backyard provides peace of mind as you let your kids play and a propane barbecue is the perfect way to cook dinner and enjoy the flawless Big Bear weather.

Note: SPA is NOT available for Tenant Use.

Great location and perfect property for pets.
My family really enjoyed our stay and this location. The fenced yard for pets was very useful as our dog is well house trained, but we didn't want to take her everywhere. There are lots of trees around the house providing shade and mountain atmosphere. the location is walkable to great resaurants and shops, as well as kayaking. Biking the neighborhood is really enjoyable and relaxing. Interior of house is well laid out and seperates the master and guest rooms. There were ants in the kitchen, but I imagine that's seasonal and hard to get rid of entirely with this location. All surfaces and floor was very clean, so it was very relaxing.

Whispering Pines
Great location on kind of a busy street, but close to town.Outdated furnishings and old shag carpeting.Patios were dusty and had cobwebs. Decking needs new paint.Upstairs shower doors were very difficult to open. Dead flies in window openings. Trash on left side of property. What a huge disappointment.We had a great time, but it should've been cleaner. Also smelled of a smoker. The property managers were friendly and professional.

Great location with lots of room for your pooches.
For the price, this cabin was a great deal. The location is great. Close to the village, but not too close where traffic is an issue. Lots of room for your pets and has doggy door for convenience. The upstairs loft is huge with it's own bathroom. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable. It's a little dated, but did not stop us from enjoying our stay.

Big space and awesome backyard that's fenced for an active pup. Snow Summit is close by if MTB is a hobby. Overall, comfortable, quiet, and close to the lake, Summit, hiking, and the village for dining and entertainment.
