Hillside Cottage

This is a bona fide mountain retreat.

Our ”Hillside Cottage” puts you in woodsy neighborhood, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, in a cozy big bear cabin with WiFi and central heating. The ceilings are vaulted, the fireplace is wood burning. The yard is forested and hilly. The cabin sits up high from street level, giving you a commanding perspective of the surroundings. The steep driveway can be testing, but the mild challenge is worth it.

Our guests enjoy spending time on the wood deck, which wraps around the front and side of the cabin, interrupted only briefly by the stone exterior of the fireplace flue. There is a propane BBQ, patio chairs, and a swing under the part of the deck that’s roofed. The propane is on us.

Hillside Cottage has an open layout which makes it feel very spacious. The living room is open to the kitchen/dining area. A brick, wood-burning fireplace accents the high vaulted ceiling in the living room. There is a smart TV and complimentary WiFi so you can watch your favorite shows from streaming services like Netflix. Bedroom 1 has a double bed. Bedroom 2 has (2) full sized beds. We can comfortably accommodate up to 4 guests. All linens and towels are included.

At Hillside Cottage you’re just 2.5 miles from Oktoberfest at the Big Bear Convention Center. It’s just about a mile from the Bear Mountain Ski Resort, the Golf course, and the Big Bear Alpine Zoo. It’s about 4 miles from downtown and with 3.5 miles from lake access at Meadow Park.
