Sugar Bear Retreat · Cozy Adorable Cabin / Scenic Outdoor Dining Area

Sweet and basic Big Bear Mountains cottage!

It's time to get comfortable! In this lodge secluded away in the Big Bear mountains, curl up by the fireside. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom getaway is only one click away from being your next holiday destination!

Sugar Bear Retreat is located adjacent to The Sugar Shack, one of our smaller 1-bedroom cabins. If you have family and wish to rent both but not in the same cabin, you may search through my other ads and book "The Sugar Shack."

This cabin has a nice open floor living room, kitchen, and dining area that comes equipped with all of your necessities. The cabin’s living room has an HD Smart TV, a wood fireplace, and lots of places to sit and rest after a long day of Big Bear activities. The kitchen and dining area in the cabin are spacious and come supplied with a dishwasher, an instant coffee maker, and extra counter top seating.

When it's time to go to bed, the cabin has three great rooms to choose from. The master bedroom has a California king bed, a private bathroom, and its own furnished balcony. The cabin’s second bedroom has a queen bed, and the third bedroom has a bunk bed with a double and single bed. If you need to do any laundry, you're in luck! The cabin comes with both a washer and dryer, but please bring your own laundry supplies because they are not supplied.

Guests have access to the whole home.

• Do I need snow tire chains to get to Big Bear? During the winter months, carrying chains on you is almost always required, unless your car is a four-wheel drive. Storms may be unpredictable, and therefore it helps to have them. Additionally, during the winter months, the CHP may stop you to see if you have them and ticket you if you don’t. You can check chain requirements and road conditions at Caltrans. com. 4x4 is recommended during winter months due to steep driveway. We are not responsible if you are not able to get up the driveway.
