About this property

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.

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.

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.

*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 AND VAPING PROHIBITED*
Smoking/vaping is not allowed in the home or anywhere on the property.

*PETS*
No Pets Allowed at property. Failure to comply will result in eviction with no refund.

*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.

=========================================

> 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.)

Perfect for Families
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!!

Girls R&R weekend
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.
