Just a short distance on a maintained dirt road in a very quiet location, just steps away from National Forest land, plenty of open area for snow play, miles of hiking & mountain biking trails, off roading, horseback riding, and all the natural wildlife that makes up Big Bear Valley including an abundance of squirrel, rabbit, coyote, & winged creatures of all types. Sightings of wild burrow, fox, and even brown bear and mountain lion in the area are not uncommon. Far away from city lights make clear nights perfect for stargazing. Shooting stars and meteor showers can be seen by the hundreds, look close enough you can even see a satellite or the International Space Station pass as they make their way through space.
