We’re going on a bear hunt and you’ve certainly caught a big one at this absolute winner of a Big Bear retreat. Hidden amongst the aromatic pines, the cabin’s welcoming timber walls invite you in to warm your soul and awaken the adventurer within. One might assume its character to be of an older generation, yet, unafraid with its bold, busy prints and contrasting, dark to light colour palette, the modern flair is intentional and breathes elegance into this rural retreat. The rustic charm and authenticity makes it feel like your very own Camp America, challenging you and the family to take on the great outdoors. Out in the wilderness here, hiking trails and ski slopes lie just beyond the grounds. But, even closer, your own volleyball court and outdoor games on the generous balcony bring the activity right to your door. Wandering down to the lake for sunset to watch the water change from crystal blue to a dusky pink under the clear night sky is an absolute must. Big Bear brings the beauty and the beast together for this stay, with one untamed escape into nature.
