Features include a private outdoor jacuzzi spa, pool table, darts, ping pong, foosball, 5 bicycles, computer w/printer, Smart TVs, Netflix, 50+ movies on AppleTV, and Sonos sound system throughout.

Private and secluded, 5 decks afford mountain and valley views in each direction. The property backs to an eagle preserve, ideal for wooded forest walks, exploring and sledding for the kids.

Sleeping Arrangements for 16 (12 adults + 4 kids): 2nd floor Master Suite with a King and attached full bath; 3rd floor Master Bedroom with a King and attached full bath; 3rd floor Bedroom with a queen; 3rd floor bunk bedroom with a bunk bed, trundle and two sofa pullout singles; 3rd floor loft with two twins; 1st floor Gameroom serves also as a bedroom to sleep 4 with a full sofa pullout, a queen bed, and attached full bath.

The house features top of the line appliances and conveniences. The house is 3 levels. The first floor, which is street level, enters into a large foyer followed by a expansive game room with fireplace and attached full bath. Stairs lead upstairs to the second level, where you find a 25' ceiling sitting room comfortable for 12 with fireplace, dining room for 10, spacious kitchen with center bar, and master bedroom and adjoining full bath. Expansive decks on either side are accessible from the second floor. Off the kitchen, a secluded deck offers a BBQ, patio furniture and a 6 person spa with speakers (aux input) ideal for late night and apre-ski soaking.

Located in the exclusive Big Bear Castle Glen Estates, this property offers privacy and space, it's backyard a 10 acre eagle preserve.

PARKING: There are two driveways and two garages. Off winter you can easily park up to 5 cars on the property. Street parking is prohibited. In snowy conditions, the upper driveway, being steep, gets icy and very slippery. When icy, we recommend only one car be parked on the upper driveway and parked at the bottom. The lower driveway is flat and also has a 2 car garage, thus accommodating 4 cars in summer or winter. There is plenty of permitted street parking, even in the winter; however, if it snows the city snowplows need access to the streets. If your car is parked on the street when the city has to plow they will likely maneuver around your car, but may tow or cite you as permitted by law. Regardless, during winter, the risks during scheduled snow plowing are yours. Please note, I contract annually with a local snowplowing service to remove snow from the driveways.

Surveillance Cameras, Noise Monitoring and Remote Control Devices: There are 5 motion censored exterior cameras on the premises: 1 at the lower driveway; 1 at the upper driveway; 1 at the 2nd floor front door and deck; 1 at the 1st floor front door and 1 on the 2nd floor rear deck (spa is not visible). There are 3 noise monitoring devices that measure noise levels in decibels but do not record any audio. They are located at the front deck, rear deck, and living room. Lastly, several functions can be controlled remotely by the Owner. These include the front door lock, the water supply line, the thermostats and the exterior landscape lighting.

There are The house is located within 2 miles of the two ski resorts. In the summer take in a stroll to the lake, or ride bikes (5) provided at the house, for boating, jet skiing, water skiing and fishing. City License #: VRR-2024-0824 Expiration 6/7/25.

Excellent experience
We celebrated a birthday at this property. It was spacious and had everything the listing noted. One note: if traveling in the winter, be sure to review instructions for heater to make sure the main floor gets heat! We didn’t and were cold the first night but that was on us for not taking a look at the instructions! Martin was a wonderful host and communicated very well and quickly….we would rent this property again in the future.

Birthday Celebration
The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The extra refrigerator in the garage very useful for all the food we brought with us. The living room was perfect for all of us to sit around the great fireplace. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our weekend there. We did have difficulty figuring out the TV's. More detailed instructions would have been helpful. We had a few football fans that needed to watch games, the rest of us were fine without the TV's. Overall this was a beautiful house and met all our expectations.

Fabulous Family Vacation
We had 12 family members ages 5-79 at our annual family reunion. The "littles" enjoyed playing hide and seek in the house and the rest of us just enjoyed playing games and sitting around together in the great room and looking out the fabulous 2 story window. Martin was a wonderful host and was very responsive to any questions or problems that arose. The one drawback was that I did not notice that there was no air-conditioning and we were in the midst of a horrendous California heat wave. The downstairs cooled down in the evening but it stayed pretty warm upstairs. Would love to go back when the weather is cooler.

Wonderful place!
Martin was a great host and provided super communication both before and during our stay. The house is massive and gave our large group plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy our time there. Very clean and had a well-stocked kitchen! The kids enjoyed snow-play in the back and side yards and it was close enough to the slopes to have someone easily drop off and pick up the ski and snowboarders in our group. Would love to come back another time. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Mountain Cabin for Family and Friends
The Mt Villa property exceeded our expectations! Great proximity to skiing, sledding and conveniently getting around town. The property is well maintained and has everything needed to accommodate large parties. We had a family reunion with 10 people and the house was perfect. The property is beautiful inside and out in an area of larger homes and cabins. Martin was a fantastic host and was very attentive to anything we needed. We will definitely be coming back for another stay in the future.

We LOVED Castle Glen Estates
We have stayed at a few places in Big Bear and decided to bring our 4 kids, spouses and granddaughters for my son's 30th birthday. We will most definitely be coming back next year. The large beautiful home was even better than the photos! It was clean and so comfortable. It was really helpful that it came stocked with everything you need. We were there for 4 nights and we didn't have to purchase any extra essentials. Plenty of towels and soft blankets. We were able to sled out in the backyard everyday which was a huge plus for us with little ones. The host was so helpful and answered any questions we had very quickly. It's so close to town and groceries are just a mile away. We have nothing but good things to say about this VRBO except I wish we had stayed longer!

Exactly what I had hoped for after seeing this listing! Beautiful view, large open space and kitchen equipped with everything you would possibly need. Beds were comfortable and hot water at all times with a group of 16. Streets are maintained quickly when it snows and neighborhood is very safe and quiet.

We loved our time here! So close to town, the lake, and supermarkets. Beautiful neighborhood and property, check in/out was super easy and texting with the host was great in case anything came up (nothing did though!). Some of the beds are slightly less private than others, but as big group of family or friends will have plenty of room here to be comfortable. We loved it and will be back!

Spacious Stay
A group of 16 women (coming in from all areas; CA, MA, TX) stayed at this spacious and beautiful property in Big Bear. The house accommodated all of us with ease; everyone had a spot to sleep, enough room to spread out, and gather. Martin was an excellent host and communication was quick and easy. I would absolutely recommend booking this property to anyone who would like to spread out and relax with a big group of people. It was truly wonderful and special! Thank you Martin and VRBO

Great Vacation Rental
Ten family members had a wonderful week at this house. It was very comfortable and enjoyed by young and old. It had everything that we could have asked for and was well stocked. The only suggestions I would have is to supply wash cloths for every person, not just one per bathroom. We definitely would rent this house again if planning another trip to Big Bear Lake.

About the host

Hosted by Martin

Host profile image
Southern California resident. Have enjoyed Big Bear for years, especially as a kid. I enjoy the area for skiing, boating, fishing, and hiking, and I enjoy hosting my guests. I come often when the house is rented, to of course work on the house, but also enjoy the fresh alpine air, hikes and friendly community.

Why they chose this property

Big Bear is an ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle down the hill. Its a world away; yet only 2 hours away. I purchased this home from the builder in 2005. I think the Castle Glen development is high-end, exclusive and offers a lot of privacy. I think you'll enjoy it as well.

What makes this property unique

Its large, big enough for even large groups to feel they have plenty of space. Because of the way its situated against a vast forest in the back, it offers privacy and unobstructed natural views that most properties can't offer.
