About the host

Hosted by Julie Christensen and Michael Hardy

Host profile image
We are from Southern California and have long dreamed of owning a Big Bear cabin! We have been coming up with our children for years and love that we can escape from LA to Big Bear in under 2 hrs. There is so much to do here and we look forward to making memories!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cabin because it's centrally located in an area that offers both winter and summertime fun! It has very close proximity to both the lake and slopes. Also, the floor-plan is ideal for multiple families, or a group of couples. Plenty of room to spread out with two living areas, the family and game-room. We hope you will enjoy the cabin with your family and friends, just as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Two separate large living areas, family room and game room, allow adults and children room to spread out, while parents are still close enough to supervise. Super fun game room that both adults and children alike will enjoy. Amenities include a pool table, Pac Man arcade machine, air hockey table, foosball table, and flat screen tv. So much fun to be had by all!!
