Getting Around:
A car is recommended. Long paved driveway with ample parking on-site. Note: the final 500 ft to the property is on an unpaved road off the main boulevard.
Other Things to Note:
- The property is located just off the main boulevard, approximately 500 ft down an unpaved road — a standard vehicle handles it fine in normal conditions.
- The home runs on natural gas tanks. On extended stays, the gas company may need to refill during your visit — this is rare but possible.
- Big Bear is full of wildlife — please exercise caution when enjoying the outdoor property, as you may encounter animals or animal droppings from time to time.
- Exterior security cameras are in place for the safety of all guests.
