Great place to stay with friends or family

This property is excellent! We were looking for a cabin feel for a snowy weekend in big bear and we weren’t disappointed! Maria’s communication was top notch! She prepped us with everything we needed. Endless board games for the family, every kind of coffee we needed, fireplace, hot tub, and smart tv with Netflix. Perfect for a romantic night or weekend with the family. My kids loved sledding on the hill behind the house. Maria is super nice and made every effort to make the stay enjoyable. I’ll be returning!

About the host

Host profile image
The Cali Bear Cabin is our vacation home. We enjoy spending time out on the deck of the cabin all year long. It's also great to long walks along the north shore of Big Bear Lake in the spring and summer afternoons and then head over to the Himalayan Restaurant in the Village for a delicious lunch or early supper. Our favorite bar for sipping cocktails is right on the lake at the Pines Lakefront. We are so glad to share this special place with our guests!

Why they chose this property

Upper Moonridge is a quiet neighborhood with an authentic mountain vibe close to everything but less touristy. Great for couples and families. Also great internet and comfortable for a working vacation home.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin has a beautiful, forested back yard with a large deck, hot tub and BBQ. It's a great place to relax and enjoy with friends and family or be on your own and relax, surrounded by nature all around you. Its super private while still being close to all the best places to visit in Big Bear.
