Fireplace- We do not provide firewood; however if any is left in the home please feel free to use. Wood can be purchased and delivered to the home. We will need advance notice.

Some games, and extra blankets are provided in the closet between the bedrooms.
Yard/Deck- located off the back of the home has great sunset views. seating for 4, propane grill, and propane fire pit. The yard has a 3 ft chainlink fence. Be mindful for the safety of your pets.
Grill & Firepit- Propane only. We swap tanks once a week. However if it is empty, please exchange it, and we will reimburse the cost. (Lake View Market is under a mile away)
Hot Tub- Large 6 person hot tub. Spa hours are 7A-10P per Big Bear Lake. Violation of these times can result in eviction and fine.
If traveling in winter, we highly suggest purchasing trip insurance! We have a strict cancellation policy and will stand by it. Winter months can be challenging with snow, ice, road closures, and other things. Cover yourself by purchasing the trip insurance.
