We have Air Conditioning for the Summer. I have placed a single 12000 BTU portable AC units in the upstairs living room for when it warms up in the afternoon. It does cool down in Big Bear in the evenings. Each room has a ceiling fan in the house plus each of the bedrooms have an additional fan which may be placed in the windows. There is no central AC.

The main living area upstairs is an open concept.

The living room includes an L-shaped couch in front of an enclosed gas fireplace and a 65 inch Smart TV. Apps include Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, Youtube/Tv, and HBO Max. It is set up to bring your own password.

In the same open area is a large dining room table with 8 chairs, and a separate desk and chair in a nook behind the staircase. Walk past the kitchen and you'll see a stacked washer and dryer and hallway bathroom with a shower.

Upstairs includes 3 bedrooms, each with memory foam mattresses. First is the master with it's own full bathroom (combo shower/tub) and a Cal-King bed, dresser, and smart tv.

Bedroom 2 contains a full/double sized bed and dresser.

Bed 3 has a twin-trundle bed (2 twins on top of each other) and another dedicated office space with a desk, ergonomic chair, and a tv/monitor where you can bring your own HDMI cable to connect your laptop computer.

Head downstairs and you enter into another large living area with the 2nd of two 65 inch Smart TVs, an L-shaped couch, pool table, video arcade machine, and bedroom 4 and 5 each with queen mattresses.

You can head out back from there to the enclosed back yard with a BBQ grill and a circular spa plugged into a 110 outlet. It seats up to 6 people. A note, our spa, should be set to 104 degrees but if it's not, it heats up 1-2 degrees per hour with the top on. If it's very cold out, such as a temperature in the teens or 20s with the jets on, the spa temperature will decrease. Please make sure you check the spa on arrival to see if there are any issues.

Back upstairs is the single-car garage. The garage fits a SMALL sedan, and contains a Level 2 Tesla Charger. The driveway is paved and can fit 2-3 cars.

Per the city of Big Bear Lake, a Good Neighbor Policy must be signed along with the house rules/occupancy agreement which includes a photo ID and valid telephone number requirement.

I ask at the time of booking to sign a copy of what is written below through a link sent upon booking confirmation. You are then asked to sign a paper copy of the Good Neighbor Policy at the time of the in-person check-in.

Guests who who do not or refuse to sign the required paperwork will not be permitted entry into the house. This is a city requirement.

Vacation rental properties endure heavier traffic and more abuse than an average home. While we do everything in our power to provide a clean and comfortable space for your vacation, we are also limited in some ways, and cannot promise absolute perfection.

We welcome and appreciate any feedback provided and will always make an attempt to make it right however possible, within reason.

Located in Big Bear Central, a neighborhood in Big Bear Lake, this vacation home is in the mountains and on a lake. Snow Summit and Big Bear Mountain Resort are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those in the mood for shopping can visit The Village. Bowling Barn and Big Bear Solar Observatory are also worth visiting. Take in the nearby slopes with snowboarding and skiing, or check out other outdoor activities such as sledding.
