Surrounded by pine trees, you’ll feel as though you have your own private escape yet are within minutes to all the exciting activities of Big Bear.

If you are an avid hiker, there are trails outlining Big Bear at all different ability levels. 

The Knickerbocker Nest has two-stories of upgraded luxuriousness. The main level houses the living area, which has been completely remodeled. Here you will find the comforting fireplace and wrap-around sofa along with flat screen television, perfect for a relaxing night in. With wi-fi in the home, this residence is technologically sound. The open-concept main floor is equipped with a state-of-the-art kitchen with a brand-new cooktop and oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. With kitchen views of the back deck, the kitchen is a wonderful entertainment space.

The master bedroom and connected ¾ master bath come with a new king bed, wooden floors, and beautiful wood ceilings. The second bedroom is outfitted with two queen over queen bunk beds, a perfect place to put the kids up. The final bedroom is on the upper level with both a twin and queen bed. Plenty of room for the entire family and beyond. A stackable washer and dryer is also available to use during your stay.

Step outside the Knickerbocker Nest and you have a custom-built, wrap-around deck, perfect for sunset cocktails or sunrise coffee. A fire-pit will keep you warm on those chilly winter evenings. After a long day hiking or on the slopes, relax in the new spa-jacuzzi. Once you have entered this sumptuous retreat, you won’t want to leave.

Disappointing
I want to as objective as possible so will break it down in the following way. 1. The property itself was charming and updated inside which was nice. There is a good amount of space for a family as I had 3 kids with me 12-15/boys and girls. We enjoyed the pool table and the location to everything. 2. Unfortunately as it relates to cleanliness the property management company did a poor job of getting the house ready as there was long black hair all over the master bathroom, nasty, and I know it’s not mine as I’m bold. 3. Functionality of the property was subpar, the internet connection doesn’t stretch well to the master bedroom thus making streaming on the TV in there less than ideal with constant freezes/buffering. The hot tub cover was broken, somehow the foam inside snapped, probably from the weight of the water sitting on top of it as it’s too close to the run off from the roof. Not only was the cover broken it was water logged making it weigh several hundred pounds and impossible for my kids and I to take off/put on, which led to our limited ability to use the hot tub which basically sucked because this was one of the reasons we rented the house. 4. Functionality continued, when we arrived the drive way wasn’t fully shoveled after a 2” snow storm nor was the deck and steps leading to the hot tub. As such I shoveled the drive way, deck and steps so my kids and I wouldn’t break our necks when the snow melted and turned to black ice. I think I made my points!

Beautifully Remodeled and Clean
This cabin was in a wonderful spot within walking distance (less than a mile) of both the Village and Snow Summit. The only issue we had is that the hot tub would not get warm. Otherwise a wonderful place.

Perfectl location
The cabin is in a perfect location But didn’t like that you can only use 1 shower at a time or else you lose the hot water or can’t wash dishes while someone showers not enough hot water …..
