Decorated for Christmas! Walk to Snow Summit! Pet friendly!


Get away from the city at our comfortable mountain cabin. With a setting on a quiet cul-de-sac our cabin provides the perfect mix of a mountain retreat while still being close to everything Big Bear Lake has to offer.

Our cabin sleeps up to 5 guests and is perfect for a family getaway.

The master bedroom has a queen bed, closet, and cable tv/dvd.

The loft provides a queen bed with a large picture window to wake up to fresh snow in the trees. The loft overlooks the living room and beautiful sunken fireplace. To provide privacy the loft has heavy curtains.

In the living room you will find a new 65" smart TV with full cable, blue ray player, comfortable reclining chairs, a large L shaped couch, and a unique sunken fireplace with built in bench seating. The fireplace is always the center of attention with our guests. Please note that there is a child barrier available upon request for the fireplace.

There is one full bathroom in the cabin that is located downstairs.

The kitchen has a beautiful dining table, stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven and coffee pot. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare and serve meals for the whole family.

In the back yard you will find a hot tub that seats 5 comfortably. The back yard is also surrounded by a 5' fence to keep pets safe. A dog door is provided from the back yard to the kitchen.

In the front of the house there is a wrap around deck with a gas BBQ and outdoor seating.

We hope you enjoy our cabin as much as we do!

Our 2nd time staying here...and we will be back. The proximity to the slopes makes this ideal, just a short walk. Cozy cabin, well stocked, plus a spa. Host is very personable with great communication and response times.

Cute house!
Upon check-in with our great host Bri we were shown a super cute house as close as you can get to Snow summit. The house is an original Hunter's cabin with a unique below level fireplace. It is bare Bones and simple with both bedrooms upstairs and only one bathroom downstairs. I don't believe there was a washing machine but for our short trip we didn't need it. If your goal is to hit the slopes, you can cut through Switzerland avenue straight into the parking lot of Snow summit. Recommend this for one to four people. Max

Perfect Cozy Cabin for Ski Weekend!
I was pleasantly surprised how close it was to Mt. Summit. It was literally 2 blocks away. The wifi connection was great, which was a real plus for my family. We also really enjoyed the large hot tub. The heater in the bathroom was a nice feature as well. We would definitely recommend for those looking for a cozy ski getaway.

Family Weekend
This property was amazing!!! Surprisingly Spacious with bathroom, kitchen and a good size living room for gathering all downstairs, and upstairs the loft with bunk beds with an amazing view, and a bedroom with a comfy queen bed. It was a perfect setting for the four of us! So close to the lift and to end the day right, after a full day on the lifts, there's the spa! We will definitely be going back to this cozy Cul-de-sac home in Big Bear! Thank you Judd!

Cozy and perfect location
This cute little cabin is perfect for those who just need a base camp for activities The host of the property, Bri, is wonderful. Great communication throughout. She was amazing!! Being able to bring our pets was the best perk here. The kitchen is not quite as “stocked” as I needed, but we made do. The only thing I would change, is having people put the dishes away. We found dirty silverware and glasses in the cupboard Would consider staying here again for sure. Thank you

Nice little cabin!
It was perfect for when we went! Check in was great and communication was on point! The area was very quiet and in a cul de sac. The hot tub was clean and so nice! My only issue was my son burned his hand on the wall heater up stairs because it was on when we got there (they tried to warm up the cabin for us, which was nice) but I don't turn those on for that reason lol. Otherwise, it was a great stay 😊

Great Cabin a few mins from slopes
My dad and I had a great time in this cabin, the manager was super friendly. The place is clean and spacious, it’s got everything you need. The best part was being able to walk to Summit so we didn’t have to worry about parking and changing at the house was really nice. Definitely would recommend and hope to be back here soon!

Great cozy Ski Cabin
This location is fantastically close to Snow Summit but also on a quiet Cul de Sac. The house is warm and comfortable, carpeted throughout. We cooked several meals with the kitchen being well stocked. The Jacuzzi was great and easy to operate. Overall a no hassle weekend for my family.

Cozy and convenient location!
This property is the perfect place to stay to hit the slopes of Snow Summit. It’s walking distance to the slopes which made it so convenient that we came back for a lunch break each day to re group then back to the slopes. The home itself is very cozy with a large couch for lounging. The backyard is fenced which was ideal for our two mini schnauzers. The jacuzzi is very nice and was so helpful for our sore muscles. The only thing I would say could be approved upon is the cleanliness, particularly the dust build up. Overall, we had a great stay.

Cute little cabin stocked with everything you need. We loved the fireplace. You do need to bring your own wood, but that wasn't a problem. There are plenty of heating options to keep you warm and the hot tub was a great amenity to have. We would love to stay here again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Judsen Gundersen

Host profile image
My name is Judd Gundersen and I own this cabin with my wife Christine. Christine originally purchased this cabin while we were first dating in 2007. Today, we are married and have a 12 year old son. Our son has been spending time at the cabin with us since 2 weeks old.

After purchasing the cabin our first order of business was to make the yard dog friendly. Our three dogs now enjoy the fenced backyard as well as the many dog friendly activities that the area has to offer.

We try to spend as much time as possible in Big Bear. We usually find ourselves spending more time during the summer at the cabin to escape the heat of Las Vegas, our current home.

While at the cabin we enjoy hiking, boating, fishing, riding motorcycles and ATVs and dining at the many great restaurants in the area.

Why they chose this property

Living in Las Vegas made Christine miss the green landscape of the east coast. She decided to look for property in Big Bear because it has something to offer during all four seasons.

What makes this property unique

We looked at many cabins in Big Bear but were absolutely sold on this one. We loved the sunken fireplace, the recessed lot, the close proximity to Snow Summit and the available trailer parking during the summer.
