After a day of adventure, you can sink into the plush throw blankets and gather around the cozy wood burning fireplace, playing one of the board games provided or watching your favorite show or movie on the new 55-inch Smart tv ( Smart TVs in all bedrooms and game room) Or perhaps retreat to the game room with its rustic wood-beam ceilings and a dry bar. Challenge your companions to a friendly game on the high-end pool table or electronic dartboard, all while enveloped in the warmth and charm of this mountain sanctuary.

Your pet can join you and use the gated and protected outdoor area under the deck on even the coldest snowy days!

While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.

Step outside onto the expansive 2,000 square foot deck, complete with a hot tub, 2 fire pits , and comfy chairs where you can immerse yourself in the mesmerizing sunset over the lake and mountains. The deck is the perfect spot for unwinding, sipping your morning coffee, or just watching the world transform as the sun dips below the horizon.

Whistling Woods is perfectly located just a 5-minute drive from Bear Mountain, with a back route to avoid the long lines of people waiting to enter the parking lot. Additionally, you'll find a charming family-owned coffee shop only 5 minutes away, and the new wildlife animal center nearby for added exploration.

For your convenience, there's a spacious garage that can accommodate two cars and is stocked with a pack n play, changing table, and high chair, making it an ideal choice for families. There is also a Tesla charger - making your stay even more convenient.

This retreat is designed for your ultimate relaxation and enjoyment, where you can create lasting memories and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the embrace of the mountains. Be sure to book your stay in advance to secure your desired dates at this idyllic haven.

Coyote Warning: Coyotes are extremely prevalent in Big Bear, even in the most densely populated areas. If you see one, you can bet they're part of an unseen pack. These animals are bold and territorial. They pose a significant threat to pets. For their safety, never leave your pets unattended, even in fenced areas, especially after dark. Coyotes are known for their ability to overcome barriers, including high fences. And they're even known for attacking pets that are on a leash. We cannot overstate the need for heightened vigilance concerning your pets' safety.
