The Details
A Bit More About This Property
Conveniently situated near Snow Summit, Bear Mountain, Oktoberfest, the village, and the lake, Rainbow Forest Retreat is perfect for skiers, snowboarders, hikers, mountain bikers, and anyone seeking a relaxing getaway.
The spacious 1,800 square foot, two-level cabin is perfect for families and pets, with fully fenced front and back yards for safety and fun. Mountain bikers will love the convenience of a bike rack and tools for their adventures. Inside, enjoy fun entertainment like an arcade cocktail table and amenities like a luxurious rain shower in the master bathroom. A portable air conditioning/heating unit is available upstairs for extra comfort. Plus, with a tankless water heater, you’ll never have to worry about running out of hot water.
Parking is easy with space for three cars in the driveway. We’ve thought of everything to make your stay feel like home, including towels (bath, hot tub, and lake), cozy bedding with fresh linens, extra blankets, and even toys for the kids. As a selected host, we also receive complimentary products for our guests that you will get the opportunity to explore and try.
Our cabin is meticulously cleaned and sanitized by a PROFESSIONAL service after every stay, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene for your comfort and peace of mind. From spotless surfaces to freshly laundered linens, you can relax knowing your space is professionally prepared just for your stay.
The bed configurations are made up of 7 beds, though some are designed with children in mind. For adults, there’s a King bed in the master bedroom with a comfortable Muse Sleep mattress, a Queen bed downstairs, a futon, and a full-size bed on the bottom bunk. For the kids, there’s a top bunk that sleeps one child and a trundle bed that can accommodate two more upstairs.
The back deck is the ultimate hangout spot, featuring an 8-person hot tub, ample outdoor seating, fun games like a giant Connect 4, Jenga and axe throwing, and even a dedicated cigar/poker room. The front porch, equipped with a propane BBQ, is perfect for playing in the snow or enjoying your morning coffee while watching the birds and squirrels.
There is absolutely no smoking inside the cabin (use the cigar room).
Please note that the listed price includes 6 adults or less to accommodate smaller groups. There is an additional cost of $25 per person, per day for any guest count between 7 to 10 in total. Pet fee is $100, and no more than 3 dogs are allowed.
THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE SO PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE IF THAT'S THE REASON FOR VISITING BIG BEAR.
You'll have access to the entire cabin.
While not available in person, the host is always available by phone, email and text.
The area is very forested but also very close to amenities.
You are able to walk to the trolley stop. Uber and Lyft is also available.
Big Bear Snow Play, offering winter tubing and summer Go Karts, is within walking distance. The nearby Wyatt's Convention Center (also within walking distance) hosts evening entertainment, the famous Oktoberfest, and great food and drinks. Just a few blocks away is the town favorite, Pickle’s Pie Shop!
The rest of Big Bear is accessible within a 10 minute drive. There is so much to explore such as the village, golf course, Alpine zoo, Discovery Center, hikes, mountain biking, Bear Mountain, Snow Mountain and of course all of the lake amenities.
Getting to the lake in the summertime is a must-do! You can enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, waterskiing and much more. Don't think of Big Bear for winter activities only because summer offers a cool break from summer heat with hiking, biking and lots of adventures.
Please note there is no cable TV. There are 3 total TVs with plenty of movies and a Smart TV in the main room.
We do provide firewood available for purchase. Cost is $10 a day and you can pay cash right at the cabin in a box provided by the wood burning stove. This is much cheaper than purchasing bundles of wood in the stores.
If you read any reviews regarding e-bikes, they are no longer in the cabin.
