Grandpas Axe Village Retreat w/ Hot Tub
Grandpa's Axe Central Village Retreat w/ Hot Tub
Perfect for a small family or group of friends looking to experience a relaxing mountain vacation near the downtown Village area, our unique and rustic cabin will have you snuggling in to enjoy your getaway to the alpine! You will have all that you need here at Grandpa's Axe to dine in together or take a short stroll down to the Village area for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Hop in the car and you are under ten minutes to the grocery stores or ski resorts here in this ultra central location. Enjoy a soak in your own private hot tub under the stars on the great sun deck after your adventurous day out on the mountain!
Enter your cozy home in the family room area where you are met with an authentic cabin feel, the woodsy interior wall accents pair with beamed cathedral ceilings in the kitchen areas that feel like your own mountain lodge for your visit! A comfy couch is sat perfectly in front of the toasty wood burning fireplace where you can cozy up no matter the season. Enjoy a movie night here on the flat screen TV with complimentary hi speed WIFI and Satellite Cable provided for your enjoyment. Your first guest bedroom and hallway bathroom are located here off of the living room as you enter for your convenience while the upstairs level above the kitchen offers your other sleeping quarters, all of your bedrooms and the bathroom are made up for your group's visit with warm linens, blankets, pillows, and fresh shower towels when you arrive.
Step up from here to a middle level that offers the chef of your group the perfect space for dining and meal preparations during your visit. The oak cabinets are stocked with cookware and utensils for your use, ample counter space and general appliances are also available to ensure your home cooked meals here are a breeze! Enjoy the cute corner breakfast nook and dining table here while an added table and chairs sits on the loft landing up from here. You will love the open floor plan allowing for you to entertain or converse with the rest of the group while you are whipping up breakfast! Enjoy immediate access from the kitchen area to the expansive sun deck and fully fenced back yard area. You will absolutely love sitting out here and enjoying the views from the outdoor patio furnishings provided. Grill up dinner on the propane BBQ or enjoy a soak in your own private hot tub under the stars here after a fun day enjoying Big Bear! Enjoy ample flat year round parking for your vehicles and a private and secluded neighborhood location.
