Romantic, Rustic, Quite Log Cabin: Perfect for Couples or Small Families!

Introducing Lil’ Green Bear Cabin, simply the “Gold Standard” in rustic, smaller, romantic Big Bear log-cabin “getaways”! The King of the Hill boasts over 250 verified VRBO reviews dating back over 12 years earning the elusive “Exceptional” rating (9.8 out of 10 stars)

BIG BEAR LAKE: VOTED BY USA TODAY AS:
BEST LAKE IN AMERICA! (6/10/2025)

Winter has arrived in the Mountains with the weather quickly changing. Temperature's have dropped, leaves have fallen and Snow should be fast approaching! The Holiday Season is upon us!!

Lil Green Bear Cabin is a 900sf, NO SMOKING, NO PET; 2-bed, 1-bath classic Sierra style log cabin with a 4 ADULT and/or 2 CHILD MAXIMUM occupancy along with a 23-yr old Minimum age for the primary booking person. Lil Green Bear is better served for Romantic Couples and/or small families.

Rustic & woodsy, boasting pine needles, pine cones & leaves strewn about, mother natures handywork. If you are looking for polished, suburban upscale comfort "all neat & tidy", Lil' Green Bear may not be the mountain experience your looking for.

Located just 2 blocks from the San Bernardino National Forest where a morning hike will change your life! Lil Green Bear is just a short drive out: 6 miles from “The Village”, 5 miles from “The Slopes” and 3 miles from “The Lake” and shopping.

Rustic architecture, exposed hand strewn ceiling timbers, tongue & groove knotty pine walls and wide plank hard wood floors. The first thing you will notice when entering this “fable-like” cottage, is the amazing attention to detail that has been spent on the décor throughout the cabin! The primary bedroom is large, sporting an Eastern King bed sitting on a massive log bed frame while the nice sized second bedroom boasts a Queen bed, again sitting on an impressive log bed frame, hand selected mountain bedding and accessories complete the bedrooms.

Wonderfully appointed Chefs kitchen and a handmade proper kitchen table. Comfortable living space with oversized seating and the most beautiful classic “Maltby” style fireplace and Douglas Fir hand carved mantle that every fall, winter or chilly spring night simply “steels the show”! Sitting by the fire, reading a book or having a glass of wine, will never be the same. The cabin has a 55” television in the living room and a 42” one in the primary bedroom, both are smart TV’s ready for all your streaming platforms (no cable). Internet-ready with strong Spectrum bandwidth but do be advised that Wi-Fi and the mountains often don’t get along and we cannot always guarantee full cooperation. The back deck is great for meals, drinks, grilling or just relaxing on solid patio furniture. The front porch is equally cozy enjoy bird watching or relaxing while sitting on two perfect Adirondack chairs.

The property is complete with external “motion sensor” lighting for late night arrivals, and one outward facing camera that the owners maintain monitoring the weather and driveway. The cabin setback really allows you to feel at home, a very special property. NO EV CAR CHARGING.

Out of the hundreds of VRBO reviews, our favorite one came from one of our early guests who wrote: "Lil Green Bear Cabin is not like staying at a rental property at all, but more like staying at friend’s house”

We love that, and we offer you our Lil' Piece of the Mountain:
Lil' Green Bear Cabin!

Blessings!
Randelle, Gabriela and Dakota Green
