About this property

Rustic, Secluded Log Cabin, Perfect for Romantic Couples or Small Families!

Introducing Lil’ Green Bear Cabin, simply the “Gold Standard” in rustic, smaller, romantic Big Bear log-cabin “getaways”! The King of the Hill boasts over 250 verified VRBO reviews dating back over 12 years earning the elusive “Exceptional” rating (9.8 out of 10 stars)

BIG BEAR LAKE: VOTED BY USA TODAY AS:
BEST LAKE IN AMERICA! (6/10/2025)

Fall & Winter are here and fast approaching in the Mountains! Leaves have already changed, temps have dropped and the First Winter Storm has arrived bringing SNOW TO BIG BEAR!

Lil Green Bear Cabin is a 900sf, NO SMOKING, NO PET; 2-bed, 1-bath classic Sierra style log cabin with a 4 ADULT and/or 2 CHILD MAXIMUM occupancy along with a 23-yr old Minimum age for the primary booking person. Lil Green Bear is better served for Romantic Couples and/or small families.

Rustic & woodsy, boasting pine needles, pine cones & leaves strewn about, mother natures handywork. If you are looking for polished, suburban upscale comfort "all neat & tidy", Lil' Green Bear may not be the mountain experience your looking for.

Located just 2 blocks from the San Bernardino National Forest where a morning hike will change your life! Lil Green Bear is just a short drive out: 6 miles from “The Village”, 5 miles from “The Slopes” and 3 miles from “The Lake” and shopping.

Rustic architecture, exposed hand strewn ceiling timbers, tongue & groove knotty pine walls and wide plank hard wood floors. The first thing you will notice when entering this “fable-like” cottage, is the amazing attention to detail that has been spent on the décor throughout the cabin! The primary bedroom is large, sporting an Eastern King bed sitting on a massive log bed frame while the nice sized second bedroom boasts a Queen bed, again sitting on an impressive log bed frame, hand selected mountain bedding and accessories complete the bedrooms.

Wonderfully appointed Chefs kitchen and a handmade proper kitchen table. Comfortable living space with oversized seating and the most beautiful classic “Maltby” style fireplace and Douglas Fir hand carved mantle that every fall, winter or chilly spring night simply “steels the show”! Sitting by the fire, reading a book or having a glass of wine, will never be the same. The cabin has a 55” television in the living room and a 42” one in the primary bedroom, both are smart TV’s ready for all your streaming platforms (no cable). Internet-ready with strong Spectrum bandwidth but do be advised that Wi-Fi and the mountains often don’t get along and we cannot always guarantee full cooperation. The back deck is great for meals, drinks, grilling or just relaxing on solid patio furniture. The front porch is equally cozy enjoy bird watching or relaxing while sitting on two perfect Adirondack chairs.

The property is complete with external “motion sensor” lighting for late night arrivals, and one outward facing camera that the owners maintain monitoring the weather and driveway. The cabin setback really allows you to feel at home, a very special property. NO EV CAR CHARGING.

Out of the hundreds of VRBO reviews, our favorite one came from one of our early guests who wrote: "Lil Green Bear Cabin is not like staying at a rental property at all, but more like staying at friend’s house”

We love that, and we offer you our Lil' Piece of the Mountain:
Lil' Green Bear Cabin!

Blessings!
Randelle, Gabriela and Dakota Green

I am a Real Estate Broker running 2 Brokerages, one in the LA area as well as Big Bear.. We love spending time together, traveling, Hawaii, Solvang (wine country) and escaping to the mountains every chance we get. We love our lil piece of the mountain and know you will too! May God Bless You! Randelle & Gabriela Green

Why they chose this property

It has been a dream of my wife and I to own a log cabin up in the mountains of Southern California, so in 2010 we purchased Lil Green Bear cabin. We enjoyed it ourselves for the first couple years and in 2012 we decided to put the cabin into the vacation rental market. We have made sure the cabin has all the conveniences of home. It has been our goal almost 8 years to continue to build a reputable business out of sharing our lil piece of the mountain with others. We are well aware that rental homes are built on referrals and we hope each and every guest is more than satisfied and will keep coming back for more. Enjoy your stay at Lil Green Bear Cabin!!

What makes this property unique

What really sets Lil Green Bear Cabin apart is the front and back yard space! The property sits back to allow an actual front yard for the kids to play, which is also fenced (log) to create boundaries. Great for kids to run around the front yard where one can watch them from the redwood adarondak chairs on the porch. The same goes for the backyard, a totally enclosed back yard 'play park'. People forget to think about the grounds of the property, who wants to stay inside all day, you come up the mountain for the fresh air and to feel the altitude. Parking is excellent at the cabin, something not always the case. A traditional black asphalt drive way allows you to park conveniently as opposed to some gravel pull up area! Motion sensor lights in the front and back make it safe, and simple for late night check ins. Try finding your way to a new address and foreign place in the pitch black! Dining room, again so many 2 bedroom cabins don't have one, just some bar stools or even worse TV trays for your dinner. LGB has a traditional custom made dining table which comfortably sits 4, it is made from reclaimed pine. The bedrooms are surprisingly large with actual sitting areas, classic mountain log bed frames. The inside was completely remodeled in 2010 with a wide open floorplan, chefs kitchen, and 12 inch (width) exposed logs running through the living room ceiling. A wonderful maltby fireplace. The unique benefits to this 1,000sf 2 bedroom cabin are endless. We simply encourage you to compare the photo's, inside and out, read ALL reviews, VRBO is a legitimate service. And the pictures tell it all.
