⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Charming, Rustic Mountain Escape! If you are looking for that classic, old-school Big Bear cabin vibe without sacrificing convenience, the Grey Squirrel Resort is an absolute gem. Tucked away on a beautiful, pine-shaded three-acre property right off Big Bear Blvd, it offers the perfect balance of a peaceful mountain retreat and easy access to local hotspots. What We Loved: The Authentic Cabin Vibe: The property features charming, 1950s-era rustic cabins that are full of character. Coming back to a crackling fireplace after a long day of exploring is unmatched. Prime Location: It is incredibly close to Metcalf Bay and a short, easy walk to the beautiful views at Boulder Bay Park. Plus, it’s just a quick drive straight into The Village for dining and shopping. Fantastic Property Amenities: The common areas are incredibly welcoming. There is a great seasonal outdoor pool, a playground, and horseshoe/basketball areas. Hanging out by the outdoor firepits under the market lights in the evening was a major highlight. Pet & Family Friendly: It is a remarkably wholesome, family-owned place where you can tell generations of people have made memories. The fact that it’s highly accommodating for dogs makes it a true complete family getaway. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our stay, ensuring we had everything we needed. Whether you are booking a cozy spot for a couple's weekend or a larger family cabin, the Grey Squirrel delivers a peaceful, n
