Walk to the Slopes! The Original Bears Lair at Bear Mountain
Experience the ultimate Big Bear getaway at The Original Bears Lair, a charming mountain retreat perfectly positioned for winter athletes and summer adventurers alike. Located at 1369 Lassen Dr, this home offers the rarest of Big Bear amenities: true walkability to the slopes. Forget the stress of remote parking lots and crowded shuttle buses; here, you are the VIP.

The Ultimate "Ski-In/Walk-Out" Location
Location is everything, and The Bears Lair delivers. We are situated directly across the street from the Bear Mountain Ski Area.

Zero Commute: Just two houses down, you’ll find the side entrance to the resort, placing you right by the rental building and the main lodge.

Epic Views: From the comfort of your living room or the expansive deck, your view spans from the bustling lodge all the way to the peak of the famous Jeronimo run.

Front Row Seat: In the winter, soak in the vibrant energy of the mountain, watch the skiers descend, and even catch the sounds of occasional outdoor concerts.

A Retro-Chic Mountain Cabin Experience
Is this the "fanciest" ultra-modern mansion in Big Bear? Certainly not. We embrace the soul of the "good ole days" of mountain culture.

Classic Decor: The interior features warm knotty pine ceilings and is curated with vintage skis, sleds, and toboggans mounted on the walls—a true tribute to the history of snowboarding and skiing.

Cozy Comforts: After a day on the lake or the slopes, sink into comfortable furniture by the glass-front wood-burning stove.

Real Wood Provided: Unlike many rentals that charge $10 for a tiny bundle of wood, we provide plenty of real firewood in the backyard. You can keep the fire roaring without worrying about it "petering out" before you finish your first glass of wine.

Warm Nights: Each of the three bedrooms features a queen bed equipped with Select Comfort bed warmers, ensuring you stay toasty even on the frostiest Alpine nights.

Space for the Whole Crew
At 1,100 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is designed for efficiency and relaxation.

Full Kitchen: Equipped with everything you need to whip up a post-hike feast or a hearty skier's breakfast.

Outdoor Living: The large deck is the heart of the home in the afternoon. Fire up the BBQ and watch the sun set over the mountains behind the lodge as the sky turns to shades of purple and gold.

Parking: No street parking worries here—our private driveway comfortably accommodates 3 cars.

Year-Round Big Bear Adventures
While we are a winter paradise, the "off-season" is Big Bear’s best-kept secret.

Spring & Summer: The neighborhood transforms into a peaceful, quiet retreat. It’s the perfect romantic getaway or a basecamp for hiking and mountain biking.

The Lake & Village: You are just a short drive from the sparkling waters of Big Bear Lake and the boutique shopping and dining of The Village.

A Note on Our Wild Guests
We are a pet-friendly home because we know four-legged friends are part of the family! Most pets are more than welcome to join your mountain adventure. However, we do have to draw the line somewhere—if you happen to have a "Support Boa Constrictor," we kindly ask that he stays at home. Our knotty pine walls are great, but we’d prefer they didn't become a jungle gym for any 10-foot snakes!
