Retreat To Fox Farm Central Log Cabin Chalet at Big Bear
Retreat to Fox Farm | Log Cabin, Foosball & Firepit Near Bear Mountain
Escape to Retreat to Fox Farm, a cozy single-level log cabin tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Big Bear's peaceful, tree-lined neighborhoods. Located just two miles from Bear Mountain Resort and within 10 minutes by car of the lake, The Village, and year-round attractions, this three-bedroom retreat offers the perfect combination of classic mountain charm, family-friendly fun, and a convenient central location.
Step inside to an inviting family room filled with authentic cabin character. Knotty pine cathedral ceilings soar above the open living space, while a dramatic wood-burning rock fireplace creates the perfect setting for cozy evenings after a day on the mountain. Settle into the comfortable sofas, catch a favorite show on the flat-screen TV with cable, or challenge friends and family to a game of foosball.
The open floor plan keeps everyone connected, flowing naturally from the living area into the fully equipped kitchen and dining spaces. Prepare breakfast before heading to the slopes or a relaxed family dinner using the modern appliances, generous counter space, cookware, and dishwasher. A custom log dining table and breakfast bar provide plenty of room to gather together for meals.
Three comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms accommodate up to six guests. The primary bedroom features a king bed, cable TV, and private full bathroom. The second bedroom offers two twin beds and cable TV, while the third includes a full bed plus twin bed and its own cable TV. A second full hallway bathroom provides additional convenience for the group. Step outside into the private, fully fenced backyard and enjoy the fresh mountain air. The spacious sun deck and patio seating create an inviting place for morning coffee or an afternoon outdoors, while the propane firepit is perfect for gathering together as the mountain evening settles in. A separate laundry area with washer and dryer makes longer stays and snowy adventures more convenient, while the single-level layout provides easy access throughout the home.
Retreat to Fox Farm puts Big Bear adventures within easy reach. Bear Mountain Resort is approximately two miles away, while grocery stores, the marina, Alpine Zoo, hiking trails, Big Bear Lake, and The Village are all conveniently nearby.

This was a great stay for our family of 4. House was clean and had everything we needed. The shops and lake were an easy 5 minute drive. We are already talking about our next trip back.

It is great to know the convenient location near the lake and shops made your trip even better. We appreciate your kind feedback and look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit.
Everything was smooth and easy great communication. The property is decorated. Really cute. There is a regular coffee maker and a Keurig and they even left enough for one day which was a nice start. I would definitely stay there again.

This place was perfect for us! We had the best experience. The cabin was cozy and felt just like home. We were able to walk and explore the area plus a short drive to Snow Summit & Bear Mountain for snowboarding made it a favorite for our family. We will definitely keep this on our list for the next Big Bear trip. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Just Perfect. Exactly what the wife and I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle. Amazing how quickly you get relaxed coming up there. Be back in near future hopefully.

Jeff~ Wonderful review. Thank you for sharing your story. It is so nice to have Big Bear at your finger tips - but still far enough away to feel like a road trip. There is lots to do this time of year and we hope to have you as a Guest again very soon. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Renting was easy communication by text and phone was very helpful. I was able to arrange late check out by text. We Celebrated my daughters 8th birthday taught her and cousins how to snowboard. House was located near ski slopes, stores and restaurants. Had an awesome time. Look forward to renting again when it's snowing.

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
Nice house, bad customer service and cleaning
I had to wait almost 30 minutes to receive the check-in confirmation. In the kitchen, the coffee maker was dirty. Also, there was bread full of mold in the kitchen cabinets... so disgusting. There was hair in the bathroom cabinets, spider webs, etc. I sent photos to the property manager... I never received an answer. Really bad customer service.

Overall great experience staying here. Quiet neighborhood, level parking, ease of access to Vons/ Stater Bros, shower pressure was insanely strong. The grill could use a good cleaning or replacement. It would be nice to have a larger couch in the living room to accomadate everyone comfortably. Cooking had all the necessary utensils. It snowed the day we drove up so it was nice to have the fireplace to stay cozy.

Property was great but check in process was not. Property was not ready for check in on time. Property needs more kitchen supplies including large pot for boiling pasta, etc and strainer / Calander. Accidentally left items at property and still have not received a response back or return of items more than one week later

Thanks for your review Katherine! We are utilizing your feedback to better our processes to provide better experiences for our guests. Hope to host you again!
We have stayed in Big Bear several times in various VRBOs, this is how this one compared for us:
1. This was the first property that we stayed in that used a property management company. Getting the keys elsewhere was a bit of a hassle & our property was “pending inspection” when we were suppose to be ready to check in. They seemed understaffed - going directly with the property owner is what we’ll do in the future.
2. The house lacked dishwashing pods, garbage bags and basic kitchen items such as a colander, a large pot and a large spoon or spatula. We bought garbage bags & dishwashing soap to leave the house in the condition that was expected upon check out. The propane tank was out on the fire pit - so no s’mores as planned.
3. There were no “extras” like olive oil, sharp knife etc. if local, buy or bring your own.
4. The house was clean & well laid out. It was centrally located on a quiet street.
5. Check in was at 4, check out at 10. Later and earlier on both ends than other properties. Felt really rushed after breakfast- 11, like other rentals, would have been better.
We enjoyed our stay but will most likely be looking elsewhere next time we come to Big Bear.
