Netflix, Hulu, Prime video) Upstairs: Our upstairs area is vaulted and open-concept with spectacular wood paneling, which makes for legit cozy cabin vibes. Here you will find the kitchen, living room, dining area, and comfy reading corner all in one area. Great for entertaining larger groups so everyone can be in on the fun! There is also one bedroom and one full bathroom on this same level, slightly separated from the main room. -The spacious kitchen is equipped with everything you need including brand new appliances such as a gas GE range, Galanz vintage refrigerator and microwave, and retro toaster, plenty of counterspace, air fryer, instant pot/rice cooker, pots/pans including griddle pan, cooking utensils, cooking spices, oil & vinegar, serving dishes, chidren's dishes, cups, and utensils, tupperware, dog bowls, dishwasher, Reverse Osmosis water filtration system right out of a spout on the sink, Ninja blender, smoothy maker, electric hand mixer, Cuisinart coffee machine, pour-over coffee maker, french press, electric tea kettle, two 8-10 cup coffee packs provided, as well as a selection of fine teas. -The living room contains an impressive river rock wood-burning fireplace, a comfy Crate and Barrel genuine leather couch, and a tufted velvet convertible futon sofa bed that can accommodate one person comfortably. **futon is on the shorter side, so works best for the petite (61"x40"x17")** -The dining area is lit up by an enormous, dimmable chandelier, and includes a larger expandable dining table that accommodates up to eight guests. High chair and Pack n' Play available for infants upon request as well! - A large sliding patio door opens up to our expansive upper deck and allows you to enjoy the view looking over the trees and breathe in the crisp mountain air. Complete with a large outdoor sectional, coffee table, telescope, patio heater and Weber BBQ grill (propane not provided), and outdoor dining table with 4 chairs (all removed or covered during winter season). It's the perfect place to marvel in the wide open scenic backyard and enjoy a robust cup of coffee, your favorite glass of wine, or a home-cooked meal with the family. -Our cozy reading corner has a super comfy oversized chair and ottoman with a cool steam punk looking vintage bar cart, and the best part... a giant gramophone record player! We have a growing record collection, and you can also connect with bluetooth and play your own tunes. -The upstairs bathroom is rustic vintage perfection, contains a luxurious rainfall shower with vintage tile and black river rock. -The upstairs bedroom has a very comfy queen memory foam bed, and statement mirror design throughout. Downstairs: Enter the downstairs area via a metal spiral staircase, or through a separate side entrance accessed from the lower deck. -Descend straight into the speakeasy that will make you feel like you went back in time. You have direct access to the jacuzzi, master bedroom, and "secret" third bedroom, which you will discover behind the wall of bookshelves. Enjoy a cocktail at the bar, or a good book on our velvet settee. Here you also find several games such as Clue, Monopoly, Battleship, Candyland, Tabletop Pool (we don't have a standard sized pool table), Uno, various decks of cards, and more! -In the Master/Primary bedroom you will find one incredibly comfy memory foam/spring hybrid California King bed, Wood-burning stove fireplace flanked by two tufted velvet club chairs, dedicated workspace, an en suite coffee bar with a Keurig coffee maker and provided coffee pods, sugar, and creamers, 2 person infrared sauna, stackable washer and dryer area with detergent and dryer sheets provided as well as iron, ironing board, and cleaning supplies, and a separate entrance as well as direct access to the downstairs deck with jacuzzi. For an additional sleeping option, under the King bed you will find a folding bed/cot with a comfortable memory foam mattress topper that will accommodate one person (75"x31"x14"). -The third "secret" bedroom contains a Queen over Queen bunkbed with twin memory foam trundle bed that pulls out underneath, and all three are exquisitely comfortable. You will also find... drum roll please... a PAC-MAN 12-IN-1 LEGACY EDITION ARCADE 1UP. Twelve games, one cabinet, unlimited retro gaming fun. Nuff said. -The full-bathroom provides access for both the master and "secret" bedroom. You will find a gorgeous clawfoot tub with rain shower head and two Jack and Jill pedestal sinks beneath twinkling mini chandeliers. Definitely an eye-catching space to say the least. Keep in mind the tub is mainly meant for soaking as the ceilings are low, so the vertically endowed may have to crouch to use the shower. Have a soak at the end of a long day with our lavender scented foaming bath. -You have access to the lower deck from the speakeasy and master bedroom. Here you will find our Hot tub that fits 7 people, or 6 with plenty of extra moving room. It has a great view over-looking the trees and the enormous back yard, and beach towels and plastic cups (in kitchen) are provided for your jacuzzi enjoyment. Adjacent to the patio door leading to the master...
Other Details to Note
If bringing pets, it is $35 per pet, per stay, to accommodate our cleaning crew. Pets must be on a leash unless they are in the back yard to be respectful to our neighbors. Thank you! Please check our "House rules" (under Things to know, at the bottom of the page) before booking, to make sure our cabin is right for your getaway :) *Our permit has a strict limit of 8 people, and infants are counted within that number even though Airbnb does not count them. Please keep this is mind when booking as eviction may be necessary if this guest count is exceeded to avoid exorbitant fines from county code enforcement. *Holidays/snow season are our busiest times and therefore highest prices— they keep us in business throughout the year & allow us to provide a wonderful escape for those in nearby cities & beyond. Please consider this when booking. You are paying for the most sought-after times, so if you snag these times, you are truly a fantastic planner, as we tend to book months in advance! *Heads up, if it is snowing, you will need chains or a 4x4 for all of Big Bear. A shovel is on-site for guest use for any other snow removal needs. There are NO refunds or discounts for not being prepared for the snow/ any acts of nature. Please be prepared to avoid needing towing. *Certain native wild life such as mice, squirrels, chipmunks, donkeys, raccoons, bears, coyotes, insects etc are native to Big Bear and although we do our best to keep the property free from these types of visitors, we cannot guarantee you will not come across them during your stay. Should you come across them during your stay we will do our best to resolve the issue, however We do not refund if you encounter this type of wild life during your stay. *Our jacuzzi technician services and cleans the spa before each guest’s arrival. The water is tested to ensure the perfect balance of chemicals for sanitation and safety, so a chlorine-like smell is expected. This indicates that the water is safe and clean.
