Bear Necessities. New. Modern. Spa. Perfect. Pet Friendly.

Get away from the everyday and escape to the ultimate family retreat with endless activities for all. Nestled among large pines in the centrally located neighborhood of Fox Farm, this luxury home has everything your entire family is looking for. This recently remodeled, immaculately clean, light, and bright modern cabin gives you all the amenities Big Bear has to offer. With plenty of windows giving you treetop views from multiple areas of the home. Enjoy the gas bbq and the hot tub on those winter nights and view the stars. Wrap up with your loved ones in the spacious living room with comfy blankets in front of the wood-burning fireplace. Now with govee lights in the family room to make the holidays extra cozy and fun! The possibilities are endless!
This home does not have a/c. While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air. Just open up the windows and use the whole House Fan to bring in that wonderful fresh air!

Now featuring more entertainment options including a giant Connect Four game, Cornhole, an electronic keyboard with headphones, large TVs in all bedrooms and enhanced comfort with memory foam mattress toppers for all king beds and a master bedroom with King bed & master bath with heated towel rack. Stay connected with our installed mesh routers for seamless internet access, plus a backup router to ensure multiple access spots. Control your environment effortlessly with an Ecobee smart thermostat controlled by voice command and a whole house fan. The perfect getaway just got better!

An excellent location to base yourself out of in the heart of Big Bear! The surrounding is neighborhood is very quiet and there are restaurants, stores, and activities are only minutes away. The accommodations were comfortable and the home was well stocked with anything that we needed. Check-in and check-out was very easy. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.
