Lakefront Big Bear Cabin Access to Lake Boat Dock Pets Welcome

*****NEWLY REMODELED BATHROOM (leak has 100% been resolved)****
NEW PHOTOS COMING SOON

Bear's Lair is your LAKEFRONT home away from home located on Metcalf Bay only a short drive to Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. Not only does our home have stunning lake, marina, and mountain views, but a boat dock is included with your rental (subject to water level). Our newly remodeled exterior log home is located next door to Holloway's Marina and a very short drive to the village, Snow Summit, and Bear Mountain. Bear's Lair is pet friendly with no extra charge for your well behaved 4 legged family members.

The home has a reverse floor plan with 3 bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor. The first floor bedrooms include a king size bed, queen size bed, and 4 twin beds. All beds are made with fresh linens prior to your arrival. Also on the first floor is the washer and dryer.

The second floor includes a living area with high vaulted ceilings and large windows with dramatic views overlooking Big Bear Lake, Holloway's Marina, and the San Bernardino National Forest. The living area is perfect for your whole group to enjoy with a large flat screen TV, large wood-burning fireplace, pool table, dining area, and open kitchen. The kitchen includes all of your cooking essentials such as pots and pans, silverware, cooking utensils, dishware, glassware, coffee maker and more. The kitchen also offers all major appliances such as a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and gas stove. We even get you started with paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher soap, and garbage bags. Also on the second floor is a brand new bathroom with double sinks and gorgeous shower.

The third floor loft, with a queen size bed, overlooks the second floor living area and also has spectacular views thru the large windows.

To maximize this gorgeous location there are wrap around decks on the first and second floors. Enjoy the spa on the first floor deck and the charcoal BBQ and outdoor seating on the first floor deck as well while watching the sunset over Big Bear Lake and viewing the snow capped mountains in the winter. Walk down the stairs of the first floor deck and you have direct access to Big Bear Lake and our private boat dock (Summer Months Only if lake water levels allow). If you don't have your own boat, a very short walk away is Holloway's Marina where you can rent all types of watercraft.

Lakefront property, Big Bear
The property is as pictured. That check-in process was easy and communication with the host was excellent. The property is right on the lake with beautiful views and balconies off each room. We had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

Big Bear Vacation
Everything was as expected. Our stay was wonderful. We enjoyed our weekend vacation. We came in to LA from Texas to visit family and booked a weekend trip to Big Bear. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you.

Outdated property description
The communication with the property manager was spot on. The property itself is outdated, the roof was leaking in various locations. The preset heater temperature did not extend to the 2nd level. Sliders do not lock on the 1st and 2nd level. Could not use the washer or dryer without the breaker tripping. Overall stay was not worth what was paid.

Not happy with the condition of the house
The property was very unclean. The jacuzzi tub was partially filled with water and had mold. There were broken boards by the tv with mold on them. The dryer lint filter was completely filled and didn’t fully fit the screen due to the lint build up. There were ants in the kitchen along with mouse droppings behind the fridge. Also found a dead mouse in a trap next to the dryer! Looked like it had been there a little while. There were cookies and new years’ Eve hats on top of the refrigerator. My family and I checked in on the 19th, 18 days past New Year’s Day. My son has asthma and he couldn’t stop coughing and sneezing. We could only stay there 1-night and that only happened because my children were exhausted.

DO NOT STAY
The management of this cabin was the most unhelpful management I have ever experienced. We showed up at the cabin and were welcomed by some trash and dirty dishes. When we tried to find the wifi and were unsuccessful we texted management and they never responded. Then the next morning when we were using the middle floor shower, we realized that the ceiling in the downstairs bedroom was leaking all over our beds and belongings. We had people that had to sleep on the ground that night and weren't provided help. Overall, it was super disappointing and even though we did get partially refunded, it was definitely not worth it. Never staying here again.

Amazing cabin and fun stay!
We booked this for our early Thanksgiving celebration with our family and we all loved our stay here! There is a pool table and we had fun playing all day! Our family enjoyed our time here and they wanna come back again next year! The owner was very responsive when I asked questions. Overall, we had fun in this beautiful cabin!

Fishing Trip
Amazing location, Amazing property, and overall a wonderfully rental property. The only issues were that the rental did not come with toiletries, cleaning supplies, many spiderwebs and lastly the roof sprung leak on us early morning. None of the negative point would keep me from renting this property again not major issues for us.
