CABIN/HOUSE DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

Glen View Retreat is in a league of its own! The cabin was renovated in 2024, so everything is modern and exceptionally clean. It has the perfect floor plan to meet the needs of one family, or multiple families that want to stay together comfortably! It is also well suited for an adult only weekend with four couples, all of which will have plenty of privacy in their own bedrooms. The home was designed to please the most discriminating guest, featuring three spacious floors (2,400 sq. ft.) making it an ideal retreat. It offers two separate generously sized living areas - an open concept family room and a game room, on separate floors. There is plenty of room for adults and children to spread out and enjoy. Later, everyone can join together in the large dining area or on the outdoor deck. There is plenty of room and something to do for everyone. Even the dog will love it!

On the 1st floor you will find the super fun game room. The game room features a 7ft Olhausen pool table, an arcade Pac Man machine with 60 additional trademarked games, aside a beautiful leather sofa with a queen size pull out bed and a flat screen TV. On this floor you will also find large bedroom #4 (sleeps 4 with a queen over twin bunk bed and trundle underneath) and bathroom #3.

On the 2nd floor you will find the NEW, fully stocked kitchen with granite counter-tops, Stainless steel appliances, and an adjacent large dining area. Also on this floor, is the large family room with a comfortable suede sectional with a queen size pull out bed, a cozy fireplace and large flat screen TV. Your family and friends are sure to enjoy curling up by a cozy fire, while watching the snowfall and peek lake views out of the floor to ceiling windows of the family room.
Just off of the kitchen, accessed from the 2nd floor, is the patio and deck area that wrap around nearly the entire house. Enjoy the view or grill and dine alfresco under the shaded umbrella of the outdoor patio set! The warm Jacuzzi tub is just steps away from this lovely deck area.

Upstairs lies the 3rd floor living area, which houses the spacious Master bedroom#1. The master bedroom features a king size bed, walk-in closet, private bathroom and flat screen tv. Upstairs you will also find guest bedrooms #2 & #3, which both feature queen beds and flat screen TVs. All of the cabin’s bedrooms were recently redecorated and boast new bedding & designer touches.

Parking, Garage and Gear Storage:
The cabin features an attached 2 car garage where you can stow your snow/sporting gear. With flat, ground level parking and a direct entrance through the garage, it is easy to take off gear without hassle before entering the cabin. In addition, the garage is another place to unwind and have fun with its foosball & air hockey tables. (There is an additional entrance at the front of the house, but the garage entrance is very convenient for coming in from the snow.

Outside Amenities:
Just off of the kitchen is the beautiful wrap around deck with plenty of new Trex decking. On the deck you will enjoy a lovely outdoor seating area and new gas BBQ grill. In the fenced yard you will find the large Jacuzzi tub that seats 8 adults. The deck area is the perfect extension of the house that can be enjoyed year-round. Nothing is better than sitting in the warm Jacuzzi while the snow falls around you! The fully fenced yard is perfect for your dog too.

Note: We accept fully house-broken dogs, with a pet fee of $100 for 2 dogs, and $120 for our maximum of 3 dogs. We often hear from our guests that it is difficult to find a nice cabin that accepts dogs. We are the exception!

Family vacation

The house had enough rooms for our entire family. The house provided items for babies and toddlers, like booster seat, high chair, play pen and there was even a safety gate that came in handy with the little ones and the stairs. The game rooms were awesome for both the kiddos and adults. The house was very clean and close to main street and within walking distance to a tube and sled amusement area for the kids. Everyone had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Christensen

Host profile image
We are from Southern California and have long dreamed of owning a Big Bear cabin! We have been coming up with our children for years and love that we can escape from LA to Big Bear in under 2 hrs. There is so much to do here and we look forward to making memories!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cabin because it's centrally located in an area that offers both winter and summertime fun! It has very close proximity to both the lake and slopes. Also, the floor-plan is ideal for multiple families, or a group of couples. Plenty of room to spread out with two living areas, the family and game-room. We hope you will enjoy the cabin with your family and friends, just as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Two separate large living areas, family room and game room, allow adults and children room to spread out, while parents are still close enough to supervise. Super fun game room that both adults and children alike will enjoy. Amenities include a pool table, Pac Man arcade machine, air hockey table, foosball table, and flat screen tv. So much fun to be had by all!!
