WALK TO SNOW SUMMIT ~ Serene Retreat ~ Near Village, Shopping & Restaurants

Centrally located in the beautiful and quiet Summit Estates neighborhood of Big Bear Lake, this stunning custom octagon home was designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. Natural light floods the circular great room from massive floor to ceiling windows bringing the beauty of nature and the outdoors in.

Upstairs is a fully stocked dream kitchen, bar seating, dining room and den with large sectional couch and cozy rock fireplace, plus upper deck with outdoor seating and barbecue. The upstairs A-frame bedroom has a king bed and is situated next to a full bathroom so the rooms can be closed off to create a private suite.

Three cozy bedrooms are located downstairs (1 queen, 1 double bunk and 1 twin bunk kid's room) + full bathroom.

There is a washer/dryer area off the garage with room to store boots, jackets, etc. The garage has couches and a foosball table plus ample room to store sports gear. Sleds are provided for snow play.

This home is perfect for families and friends looking to make incredible Big Bear memories together. This is not a party house - parties of any kind are strictly prohibited.

*CHECK IN / CHECK OUT*

Check In: 4pm / Check Out: 11am

Late check-ins can potentially affect the quality of your stay and our service. If you are arriving very late at night it can directly impact snow removal (companies do not plow late at night), finding the property and access to the property. No credits will be given to parties that arrive late and experience difficulties.

Late check outs significantly impact guest turn-over. Housekeeping will arrive promptly at 11AM so please ensure all guests and belongings, including cars, are removed from the premises prior to housekeeping's arrival.

No Parties, Events, Pets or Smoking Allowed at any time!

*NEIGHBORHOOD TRANQUILITY*
You will be staying in a residential neighborhood area and agree to respect the tranquility of the neighborhood and those around you, and that disturbing the peace is a direct Violation of City Ordinance which will result in fines and immediate eviction without refund.

Smoking/vaping is not allowed in the home or anywhere on the property.

*PETS*
No Pets OF ANY KIND allowed at property. Failure to comply will result in eviction with NO refund per signed contract.

*PESTS AND WILDLIFE*
Be aware you are renting in a wilderness environment. There are many animals (including but not limited to coyotes, bears, bobcats, squirrels, chipmunks, etc.) Wildlife is unpredictable and can be dangerous – do not engage with wildlife and keep an eye on small children at all times. The wilderness also has many pests/bugs – we take care in keeping our property clean and pest free with a pest control service. But be aware that pests are around and may be found in the home. Do not leave doors or sliders open as pests and small animals may find their way into the home.
Insects can move very quickly when a home is left empty, even overnight and spiderwebs, dead insects or live ants are possible. We inspect the home prior to your arrival but cannot guarantee the home will be free of pests. Credits will not be given to any tenant if an animal is found on the premises or near the premises alive or dead or if there are some insect issues.

Violation of occupancy and parking regulations can result in fines, vehicles being towed, and possible immediate eviction without refund.

*WEATHER/SNOW REMOVAL*
California Law requires that if traveling to Big Bear during the winter months (November to April) that you carry snow chains for your tires with you IN your vehicle. While we provide a snow removal service to plow the driveway and a path to the front door, we CANNOT guarantee the timing of the service due to their volume of homes and/or traffic conditions.

If you arrive and the property has not been cleared, you will need to clear the driveway prior to parking (snow shovels are in the garage). Snow removal during your stay is the responsibility of the guest although our service will do their best to clear around your cars if they are parked in the driveway. If there is fresh snow shovel first before walking on porches, sidewalks or driveway to avoid dangerous ice build up.

Issues or delays may arise if snow fall occurs close to your arrival or check-in, so please watch the weather to be prepared.

=========================================
Security Cameras & Noise Monitoring - we DO NOT monitor guests during their stay - cameras are for security purposes only and to ensure during check in that occupancy and car limits are not exceeded. Noise decibel monitor only activates with excessive loud noise that may cause neighbors to call code compliance - does not record anything.

> 1 Canary at front roof line - covers driveway, garage door and front walkway
> 4 Arlo - mounted on top balcony - cover front porch, both sets of deck stairs + front and side yards

Great Cabin, Great Location, Great Experience
The cabin is in a prime location for Snow Summit and Big Bear Lake activities. Communication with the property management was top notch. The place was immaculate and well maintained. My 2 kids loved the bunk beds and the cabin had so many useful "perks" (board games, foosball table, kitchenware, sleds, washer/dryer, stuffed animals, top notch appliances, etc.)

This property was perfect. The host was prompt and accommodating from the start to the end. We spent two days skiing and came home to this cozy house to relax each night. The kids had a blast and we will definitely come back next time we’re in Big Bear.

Terrific House, great location
We absolutely loved this house. It's a short walk to Snow Summit which made things very easy. We were greeted as we arrived, to make sure everything was in order. I especially appreciated the close contact with the owners. They answered any questions we had in a timely manner. I would highly recommending staying here. Very clean. Very well kept. You can tell they spent time making sure everything is just right. Seemed like everything was recently renovated because the kitchen and bathrooms were up to date and very well done. Laura thank you for everything. We will definitely be back!!

This was absolutely one of the best VRBO experiences I have ever had. The home is beautiful, the host has thought of every convenience and the location was perfect for all we wanted to do in Big Bear. The bar seating and extra-long dining room table was just what we needed for our meals and crafting. The kitchen has everything you would ever want to cook for your group. The beds and linens were 5 star. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Thank you, Laura!

Superb Cabin
My family and I stayed for the holiday weekend. Super impressed with cleanliness and attention to detail. Kitchen was fully loaded with so many pots/pans/utensils/etc. Garage entry and laundry room for all our wet ski gear was perfect. Super convenient when coming home from the slopes. Laura (Owner) was amazing to work with and very responsive/helpful along the way. Can't wait to stay here again on our next trip.

Beautiful house with great location.
My family and I had a great time, they were three of us staying in the house and it was so nice to relax and we got some snow! Laura was super great to work with, great at communicating, great at responding to any issues. We had a problem with the Internet TV and her and her husband were nice enough to call Spectrum and try to help us figure it out which we eventually did! Overall a really great trip!

Extremely cozy!
I stayed here for a week and it was the most coziest cabin I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to a lot of cabins). The neighbor was VERY quiet and peaceful which was a plus because I got to listen to the rain clearly. Everything was so close literally within walking distance to restaurants, ski lifts and more. My only complaint is that the showers should have some type of slip preventative like the grips that go on the tub floor because it was very slippery if you move to quickly. Overall it was such a peaceful place definitely will be going back!

Best Location at Snow Summit!
I cannot say enough amazing things about this rental. The house is perfectly situated 0.25 miles from the base of Snow Summit. My family and I visited in the summer to do some downhill biking and this short walk made it easy to travel back to the house for snack breaks! The interior of the house gives off a cozy cabin feel, while the large floor to ceiling windows upstairs really make you feel like you're in a tree house. The ability to store our bikes in the converted garage/game room was a selling point for us. If you travel in the winter for Snow activities, there is plenty of storage there for any wet boots/skis/snowboards. This is a great place to check out if you are traveling to the Snow Summit area. We will definitely be keeping it on our list for future visits.

Loved our stay
The checkin process was a breeze. When we got in the home it was plenty of space for the whole family, several adults, teens and babies. They had plenty of space inside and out for everyone to spread out. The home was very cozy, beautiful kitchen. Good outdoor space. The home was in a great location, really quiet neighborhood. There is a sound curfew in Big Bear so I highly recommend being mindful of the neighbors, we did get notified about the noise. But overall it was a beautiful experience. Close to all stores and not too far from the lake and hiking. Will definitely recommend to anyone.

Beautiful, immaculate, well stocked, close to Summit
This home felt like each detail of the home was carefully thought out, a home made to be what a person would want to make this the most homey comfortable getaway. I was amazed by how well stocked this home was from bathroom to kitchen. So much that I had to leave all the drawers and cabinets open when I put the dishes away because there was that much. It was a cookers dream kitchen which my husband loves to do. The owner was super nice and good at communicating. Location is walking distance to Summit though maybe not with heavy snow gear. Will stay here again

Short but amazing trip
We were extremely fortunate to find this unique and charming cabin just minutes away from snow summit. I selected this out of the 15-20 others I looked at based on location, design of the place, quality of furnishings based on the pictures and price - it was not the cheapest but I know my family expects a higher quality and this did not disappoint. We just fell in love with the cozy living area and sat on the counter and around the fireplace enjoying the welcome wine bottle and cheese and crackers. It was perfect. Our family did run into problems with the size of downstairs bedrooms but it was just our family issue. The host was very so responsive, accommodating and flexible. Many many thinks. We loved the tastefully designed place and attention to every detail. Anything we needed was there and was of the highest quality. The turquoise towels just won us over - I am so fussy about the quality of the towels and carried my own but now want to switch to this new brand 😊. Thanks so much Laura for everything.

Lovely Lodge
Our family spent New Years week at the Lodge. It’s very convenient to Snow Summit resort & ski lifts for skiing then returning home for lunch & down time. The Great Room & kitchen are lovely and I enjoyed cooking in the large open space (and husband grilling just outside the kitchen on the porch). The beds were very comfortable, the garage & mud room holds all the ski gear and the neighborhood is very quiet. We loved it and will stay again on our next Big Bear Lake California trip. The owners & house manager are very kind and responsive!

We stayed in the cabin for a long weekend to celebrate my friend's upcoming wedding. It's in a great location, close to the village and all the hiking trails. The cabin itself is spacious, with plenty of bedrooms for us to spread out, but also feels cozy enough for us to congregate and chat. The host, Laura, was very communicative, friendly, and accomodating. She was always a text away if we had questions or concerns. We'd definitely stay here again next time we're in beautiful Big Bear.

Amazing Owners - Bummer Vacation
My family and I were very excited to take our first getaway as a family of 4 (when you have a baby at the start of a pandemic, you don’t travel much!). The home that we had initially planned to stay at, we learned upon arrival had been overrun by mice or rats (poop EVERYWHERE). We had to find another place to stay ASAP. Found this lovely home, and sent a message to the owner, Laura. Oh my gosh, she responded almost immediately and was SO ACCOMMODATING to us! We hoped we could get into the home early and she was super communicative and was able to get us in the house as soon as the cleaning crew had wrapped up. The only downfall for us was the beautiful fireplace in the center of the home, that was a bit hazardous for the two 1 year olds roaming around. Then I tripped on it and broke a toe, officially bringing an end to our very unfortunate vacation. Again, Laura was so lovely, and refunded us a night that we weren’t going to get to use. Overall, wonderful home and host. Maybe better for a family with a bit older kids (or better than us haha).
