How Sweet It Is - Downtown Village Retreat at Big Bear
How Sweet It Is Big Bear | Walk to Village - Lake
Welcome to How Sweet It Is- our charming and unique Village retreat is the perfect atmosphere for a group of friends or small family to experience a relaxing and memorable Big Bear vacation. Our fully furnished two story chalet style cabin offers all that you need to comfortably enjoy the mountains together with modern cabin themed décor and amenities, a full kitchen with essentials, and a spacious open loft on the upstairs level. You will love taking a stroll down to the lake, marina, or Village shops for entertainment and dining within a mile or hop in the car and you are under ten minutes to either ski resort, the grocery stores, or the Alpine Zoo.
Entering on the ground level you will be greeted with beautiful knotty pine beamed ceilings and dark hardwood floors in the cozy living room area where you will find comfortable and modern furnishings. Enjoy hanging out here on the leather sofa perfectly sat in front of the toasty gas faux log fireplace and mounted flat screen Streaming TV, with complimentary hi speed WIFI provided for your convenience. You will love snuggling up here and watching the snow falling outside through the big open windows or head out the to the gorgeous raised sun deck from here to enjoy patio furnishings and a propane BBQ along with your tree top views. A lovely bistro style dining table is also available here with soaring window views for your meals while the chef of your group will absolutely love this modern kitchen set up! You will find all that you need for whipping up your home cooked meals here with gorgeous marble counter top spaces and oak cabinets stocked full with your cookware and utensils. Stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher ensure that your meals and clean up here are effortless.
This lower entry level hosts your guest bedroom and bathroom off of the kitchen area while the entire upstairs level of this home is the spacious master suite loft area with it's own private bath. You will absolutely love the huge oversized soaking tub complete with tree top views while you soak. Both rooms are made up for your visit with warm linens, blankets, pillows, and fresh shower towels upon your arrival and each offers it's own flat screen Streaming TV for your added convenience. Outside you will find a fantastic snow play hill right off the side of the property where you can enjoy sledding in the winter months as well as the private sun deck where you will love sipping your first cup of coffee in the mornings among the birds. How Sweet It Is truly is a sweet cabin experience, boasting the best of Big Bear at your fingertips in this supremely relaxing alpine vacation home. This is a quiet and private street just off of Big Bear Blvd full of pine trees and relaxation, 4X4/Snow Chains are REQUIRED to access this home in winter months- No Exceptions.
