About this property

Forest getaway in Fawnskin, the quiet side of Big Bear

Close to the lake, this lovely cabin is located on the quiet north side of the lake in Fawnskin, away from the hectic activity, yet a short drive to the ski slopes and other winter activities. In summer, the north side is the best location for access to bike paths, hiking trails, and boat & kayak launches.

Two bedrooms plus a loft with a pull-out sofa. Free WIFI. Cabin features huge front deck and plenty of parking space off the road. A fully fenced back yard.

Great for families, the cabin is very close to the lake, and has easy access to local hiking trails and boat launches.

Escape the city and experience being surrounded by tall pine trees and clear, starry nights. We are located in the San Bernardino National Forest, complete with forest critters, so trash must be secured. Keep in mind you are in a forest setting with wild animals such as bears, coyotes, raccoons, etc. Never leave young children unattended, even in the fenced back yard.

We are located in a quiet, family neighborhood. If you are seeking a party house, this is NOT for you. The community has strict good neighbor regulations. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Excessive noise, amplified music, and/or unruly behavior has severe consequences, including a $500 fine for a first offense; $1,000 fine for a second offense. Our policy is immediate eviction if law enforcement is contacted.

Parking for up to three vehicles on the circular driveway. Parking on the street is prohibited by the city to allow space for snow plows.

Sorry, no pets.

Great Place in a Great Location!
The cabin was beautiful and very clean, and we had a great time renting it! The check in process was super easy, the drive to the city wasn’t long, and the cabin gave us so many memories! Would 100% do it again.

A wonderful cozy home!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property, FL very cosy from the second we walked in. Using the fireplace was our highlight. The only feedback I will have is that the paintings in the house were a little creepy, and the bathroom downstairs had no heating and was very cold. Also took a little while to figure out how to turn on the lights as a lot of the lights were unplugged.

I adore the mountains and access to hiking trails. Most of the year I hang out on the beach in Mexico (see oceanfront rental, VRBO #486563). But, Big Bear is unique in character, an environment that must be experienced to appreciate.
