About this property

Gentle Grizzly Getaway by Destination Big Bear : Incredible Ski Slope Views of Bear Mtn! Outdoor Hot Tub! Internet!

Looking for incredible views of Bear Mountain Ski Resort? Look no further than Gentle Grizzly Getaway, located on a quiet street in the neighborhood of Upper Moonridge.

Park your vehicle on a flat-driveway and walk through a garden gate to be greeted by a welcome bear statue sitting on a rock. If you arrive at night, you'll appreciate that he is holding a lantern! The double-door entry is located just a few steps up and features pretty glass windows.

Gentle Grizzly Getaway has a front entrance with wood flooring. The flooring throughout the home includes both wood and carpet.

Turn left and you're in the living room. The beautiful stone fireplace provides both warmth and ambiance. A large elk head is mounted over the gas only fireplace, giving the home a touch of rustic decor. Entertainment is close at hand, with the Pac Man classic video game table with several games and flat-screen television that is equipped with HDTV cable and a DVD player. WiFi will keep you connected with the outside world, but plenty of board games are available for an unplugged pastime. Pour a glass of wine or mix your favorite cocktail at the wet bar, located just behind the living room couch. High above the city smog, we have amazing views of the stars. Use the telescope to get a closer look.

A door between the living and dining room gives you access to the outdoor deck with incredible views of Bear Mountain Ski Resort. Sore muscles from a day on the slopes or nearby hiking trails? Melt them away in the relaxing hot tub. When the weather is warm, sit back in the wicker deck furniture and enjoy the view. Grill up a steak on the propane bbq.

Head back inside to discover the dining room table, which seats six, but also includes two additional chairs for more hungry guests. Look up to notice the chandelier, with a carved wolf motif.

The kitchen comes with all the basics that you'll need to create a home-cooked meal. If you're visiting us during the holidays and cooking up a feast, you'll find the counter top space and storage to be plentiful. Features of the kitchen include: tiled counters, a double oven, microwave, dishwasher, trash compactor, and coffee pot. The cook won't feel left out of the vacation, as those amazing slope views are visible from large windows in both the kitchen and dining areas.

When it's time for bed, Gentle Grizzly Getaway offers you a choice of three bedrooms. The master and second bedroom are both located upstairs.

The master bedroom has a king bed located under a skylight, a great spot to look at the night sky as you drift off to sleep. Before falling asleep, watch a movie on the flat screen television with HDTV cable and a DVD player. Walk outside to enjoy your private deck with views of the slopes. During a sunny day, relax on the two outdoor lounge beds. The master includes an en suite 3/4 bathroom.

The second bedroom has a queen bed, television with HDTV cable, and DVD player. This room also has a private deck, with views of the gated front garden. A full bathroom is located in the hall, between the master and second bedroom.

The third bedroom is located on the first level, to the right of the main entry door. This room is perfect for kids, with a queen over queen bunk bed and an additional twin trundle bed. This room has moose and bear themed bedding. Need to do laundry? A full-size, side-by-side washer and dryer is located in the closet of this bedroom.

A half-bath for the first level is located near the third bedroom.

Come visit this Big Bear Cabin, with its stellar views and many amenities. You'll experience the serenity of nature, but be located just a ten minute drive from all the restaurants, shops, and Big Bear activities.

House was fine, communication was poor
The house was fine overall. Great location and everything we needed was there. The communication with the rental company was poor. I tried reaching out multiple times to request extending our stay in advance of our visit and I received no response or acknowledgment. Not being able to extend was OK but would have been good to get some sort of response. I also did not get any communication about check in and had to call 2x to get the information needed. When I finally spoke with someone, they were helpful. Separately, there was a water leak at the house our second night there (water coming from the ceiling from a shower above the kitchen) - I called and sent emails with pictures and video and there was no response. It was an unfortunate experience relating to customer service overall and I’m hopeful someone is communicating with the home owners to let them know about these issues that are causing damage to their home and potentially deterring other renters from visiting as well.

Cómoda cabaña
La cabaña es muy cómoda y tiene la mayoría de las cosas que necesitas. Las camas son cómodas y las almohadas. Las vistas son espectaculares. Pero si vienen menos de 5 días no la recomiendo. Es muy complicado hacer check in, te hacen ir a una oficina lejos solo para darte un código, la entrada des 4 pm y la salida 10 am. Pero tienes que dejar la casa limpia, platos, todo impecable y llevar la basura a un lugar lejos y concurrido, hay una cola de 45 para dejar la basura y es imposible dejar todo eso listo antes de las 10. El último día fue estresante para todos.
