The Space:

An Extraordinary Mountain Cabin with a Downstair Arcade Room and Wet Bar, an Upstairs Bar

Room and Wet Bar, an Outdoor 180 degree Viewing Deck, and an Outdoor Jacuzzi surrounded

by Boulders. Spanning three expansive levels, this renovated log cabin combines rustic charm

with modern conveniences. Each room in Five Bears Den has been thoughtfully curated to

mirror the tranquil beauty of its mountainous surroundings, so guests feel at one with nature

even while indoors. The majestic high vaulted ceilings, coupled with the rich knotty pine and

hardwood floors, immediately invoke the feelings of a grand mountain lodge. The Cabin

thoughtfully houses two bedrooms on each floor, offering the optimal privacy for multiple

families or groups, making it the ideal setting for shared memories and bonding, while giving

you space for privacy. The spacious grounds also offer plenty of space to find a quiet place for

conversation or coffee while reading a book or enjoying a view.

This Cabin is a short walk to the Big Bear Convention and Events Center, which is home to the

World Famous Big Bear Oktoberfest and Wyatt’s Grill and Saloon. It’s also a short walk to Big

Bear Snow Play, which is home to both Winter and Summer activities such as Snow and Summer

Tubing, a Ropes Course, and Go Carts Speedway. It’s also located close to the two main grocery

stores in Big Bear.

While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.

Great Family Time and Great Management!

We really had a wonderful stay. The property was lovely and had so much room for all of us. Very central to get to the ski hills, tubing and into town. We had a couple hiccups, but every time the management got right back to us and had things taken care of. We would definitely stay again!
