PARKING::
The City of Big Bear Lake limits Parking to a maximum of 2 vehicles for the house. No Street Parking is allowed in any residential neighborhood.

There is no A/C In the bedrooms. But we have plenty of window fans that bring in ICE cold air at night. (PLEASE NOTE: A/C is seasonal & is available From June 1- September 15th)
SPA::
The spa cover is pretty heavy. To help offset this we have the black metal bar to help move it for you. Flip the cover onto the bar, move the bar to the fence (let the bar do the heavy lifting) hook to fence for safety - a picture and detailed instructions are located in our house manual at the Retreat.

Our cabin is well cleaned after each stay by our trusted cleaners who know our home inside and out; but please note housekeeping is not provided daily, only after before and after your stay.

Snow removal is arranged prior to the check-in time, but guests may need to shovel their parking spot(s) if they arrive late after it's been snowing or if it snows during their stay. But don't fret, it's part of the mountain experience and shovels are provided so everyone can lend a hand!
