🌟 Why You’ll Love It Here
This neighborhood is perfect for those who want to experience Big Bear like a local—quiet mornings, starlit nights, and easy access to everything that makes this mountain town so special. Whether you're here for a weekend adventure or a relaxing escape, you'll appreciate the unbeatable location and peaceful surroundings.

Getting Around:
Big Bear is a beautiful mountain town where having a car is definitely the best way to get around, especially if you're planning to explore the lake, slopes, hiking trails, and local dining spots.

🚗 Driving
Your cabin is located in Big Bear City, a peaceful area just a 5–12 minute drive from most major attractions, including Bear Mountain, Big Bear Lake, and The Village. Roads are well-maintained, but snow chains or a 4WD vehicle are recommended in winter as conditions can get icy.

You’ll have ample parking for 3–4 cars on-site, making it easy for multiple guests or families traveling together.

🚕 Rideshare & Taxis
Uber and Lyft are available, but they can be limited in the mountains—especially during off-peak hours or on snowy days. We recommend not relying solely on rideshare services and planning to have a car for full flexibility.

Local taxi services are also an option, but availability may vary based on the season and time of day.

🚌 Public Transportation
Public transportation in Big Bear is very limited and not ideal for visitors trying to hit all the local hotspots. The Mountain Transit system does run in the area, but schedules are infrequent and routes are limited.

🚶 Walking
While the neighborhood is calm and great for short walks or enjoying the fresh air, it’s not a walkable area for reaching restaurants, shops, or ski resorts. Most destinations require a short drive, so we recommend bringing your own vehicle for the best experience.

✈️ Nearest Airports
LA/Ontario International Airport (ONT): Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours away, depending on traffic.

Palm Springs International Airport (PSP): Around 2–2.5 hours by car.

LAX (Los Angeles International Airport): About 2.5–3 hours, depending on traffic.
