Here`s a few common questions and answers that will help you decide if Winding Retreat is a good fit for your mountain getaway.

Is the house a good place for children?

We`ve had several families stay with us and they`ve found the Winding Retreat perfect for children. There`s a large entertaining space and plenty of privacy in the upstairs bedrooms.

Can we cook at The Winding Retreat?

You`ll love the flexibility of being able to go out or stay in to cook. Our kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates, glassware, utensils. If you`re unsure about what we might have, ask us. The gas stove and oven has the ability to help you whip up a meal for 8 or a beautiful brunch. You`ll have no problem feeding the hungry bears.

We provide a coffeemaker, toaster, and microwave.

Should I bring linens or towels?

Nobody wants to travel with their sheets and pillow cases. We provide linens for all beds, and we ensure EVERY piece of bedding is washed before your visit. We`ll also make sure there`s plenty of towels for everyone.

What`s the television/movie situation?

TV is optional in Big Bear, but you won`t miss anything on our 55 inch HD T.V. It`s equipped with cable and streaming channels. There`s plenty to watch, if you want to.

What kind of experience can my pet expect?

We love dogs and we understand how hard it can be to travel when you have to leave your furry friend or friends at home. As far as activities are concerned we`d recommend you check out some of the hiking trails around town. They`re sure to tire out even the most athletic pups. We do NOT allow cats.
