About the host
Hosted by Erik Campbell
We are native Californians always looking for new places to explore. A few years ago we moved from Whittier to Big Bear. We moved to the very cabin you'll be staying in! We now live in a different cabin that is slightly bigger! We are happy to host and share the cabin that charmed us into moving to Big Bear permanently.
Why they chose this property
We chose the area of Sugarloaf because we felt like Big Bear Lake is a little too crowded. Sugarloaf consists mainly of residential properties. We do have a cute Post Office, Mini Mart and Bar and Grill in Sugarloaf! It's pretty quiet in Sugarloaf making it a relaxing stay. With access to the National Forest a few minutes walk from Ursa Major makes for a truly unique experience. We are also located not far from the 38, so access to the property is a bit easier with less traffic (taking the 38 highway).
What makes this property unique
Located on a quiet corner lot, this house stands out for many reasons. The property features a large fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for you to relax and enjoy. We are located close to the National Forest with plenty of opportunity to hike and explore. We like that our cabin is a cabin! We feature traditional cabin accents without being over the top or weird. This place was my sanctuary when we vacationed there. Lots of relaxing naps upstairs in the comfy and quiet bedroom. This house/location convinced us to move to Big Bear permanently!
