Just because you're coming to Big Bear Lake to visit the great outdoors, it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice the great indoors. This address is a wonderful place to return to after a long day hiking, skiing or tearing up the lake. The log-burner will keep the modern living room cosy during the colder months, but there's also a hot tub out on the patio if the climate is kind during your stay. A games room containing a pool table and air hockey will entertain kids and grown-ups alike, while those in charge of feeding the troops couldn't have wished for a roomier kitchen in which to work their magic. In terms of location, you can be on the banks of the lake in under ten minutes on foot, while in the other direction, Big Bear Boulevard can be reached in the same amount of time and has a whole host of restaurants and bars to explore.
