Quite Log Style Cabin, Mountain Life, Great for Romantic Couples/Small Families

Welcome to Lil' Green Bear Cabin, the proud recipient of over 225 VRBO verified reviews averaging 9.8.5 Stars! (out of 10), earning the VRBO's highest possible property experience ranking of "Exceptional"! That's a lot of reviews!!!!

Winter Special:
Winter is fast approaching and the mountains are "Bundling Up": Come enjoy Lil' Green Bear Cabin for just $135 (week days) and $150 (weekends)!!

We're SORRY, but we do have a 3 ADULT/2 CHILD, 5 PERSON MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY along with a 23 yr old Minimum age for the primary booking person.
Lil' Green Bear Cabin is better served hosting couples or small one or two child families. We are a smaller 950sf, 2 bedrooms/1Bathroom, NO SMOKING/NO PET Cabin perfect for that ROMANTIC GETAWAY
With the 2-child max, kids would need to sleep in beds or sleeping bags (not provided). No Sofa Sleeper. The cabin has multiple "Smart TVs" for your personal streaming accounts, however, there is no "cable", so local news and/or channels would need to come from your personal accounts/streaming platforms. Please note that the mountains and WiFi don't always work well together, the owners can not guarantee that the Wifi (and TV streaming services) will always work, but the vast majority of the time the national Spectrum service is fine!!
If your coming to Big Bear, come stay in Rustic, organic, natural Mountain Log cabin living, not simple suburban architecture, YOU CAN GET THAT DOWN THE HILL! Lil' Green Bear Cabin has often been described as something right out of a fairy tale or childhood fable! A mountain log cabin that delivers exactly what it shows. Come experience Big Bear the way it's supposed to be experienced, a classic log cabin, mountain decor, seclusion, away from the crowds. Lil Green Bear Cabin awaits and NEVER disappoints!
LIL' GREEN BEAR CABIN, a 950sf Sierra Style Log Cabin sits quietly nestled just 3 short blocks from the San Bernardino National Forest and some amazing hiking trails, 2 miles from the lake, 3 miles from shopping, 4 miles from the renowned ski slopes (Bear Mountain & Summit), and 6 miles from the village! Away from the tourist buses of Big Bear Lake. Big Bear City gives you a chance to truly get away and live like the mountain locals for the weekend. A refreshing walk around the block is an experience in itself, one that you won't forget!
Floor-to-ceiling knotty pine with 12-inch exposed strewn logs running through the living room ceiling, a classic Maltby fireplace, and 2 nicely sized bedrooms with King & Queen beds sitting on rustic, log bed frames. Hardwood floors with carpeted bedrooms. A nice sized country bathroom, but please note there is no bathtub. For the folks who have a little trouble relaxing and need to stay close to the office, the cabin is equipped with a 30mbtys, broadband, and wireless WIFI router, so the laptop/tablet can stay handy! The mountain theme decor has been praised by countless reviews (visitors). Minimum stocked CHEFS KITCHEN complete with most everything you need to whip up a meal and something rarely found in smaller cabins up here: A REAL KITCHEN TABLE, rustic, reclaimed barn wood with 4 Brand New "Hercules" Black Walnut Dining chairs. On so many occasions this is not the case, you are forced to sit on bar stools or TV trays while sitting in the living room!! 55-inch Smart television. Another 42-inch Smart LCD TV mounted in the master bedroom for the romantic couple who wants to stay in bed all day while the wind blows and/or snow falls. The intimate cabin has a wall heater, no central heat and as most cabin's in Big Bear, NO AC, as there is rarely a need for it.
Enjoy a glass of wine while snuggling in front of the large, Maltby-style fireplace on a chilly night while the avocado wood crackles (firewood not provided).
The rustic, natural grounds are again well noted throughout the reviews, so many massive pine & evergreen trees on the property, and 2 of the most perfect 50-foot Holiday trees ever sit in the front yard! Really special! The front yard boasts natural landscaping with the back yard offering a cute little park-like setting, completely fenced in for peace of mind with the little kids (2 child max) with some very cute decorative pieces that again are fantastic for children. With two great porches/decks, the front porch gives you that classic experience of sitting out on 2 great redwood Adirondack chairs and simply enjoying the peace and quiet, while stargazing into the renowned star-lit Big Bear sky. The back deck comes with a large circular table, chairs and an old school charcoal grill (briquettes & lighter fluid not provided) You can go out for dinner anytime, but starting up the grill on a chilly night in a mountain log cabin with a bottle of Red wine while the steaks marinade........now that's a city get-a-way and a priceless memory you won't forget.
The property is motion sensor lit (front and back yard/driveway) for late-night arrivals and please be advised there is ONE EXTERIOR CAMERA mounted on the front of the property LOOKING OUT to the street allowing the owners to see the front driveway, porch and yard. It is professionally managed from bedding to towels. We have raised our 15-year-old son here, so again we pride ourselves on the cabin being kid-friendly whether it be the lil back yard 'play park', the horseshoe pit, or the front yard play area, we have tried to think of everything to assure you that upon the completion of your stay, you will leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. One of the best compliments we have ever received was in a review one of your guests posted way back in the spring of 2012 (see review section) simply stating that 'This is not like staying in a rental cabin at all, but more like staying at a friend's home!'

We proudly offer you....... LIL GREEN BEAR CABIN!


Sincerely,
The Green Family of Lil Green Bear Cabin.

The Lil Green Cabin exceeded our expectations. The cabin is in a nice quiet neighborhood nestled among beautiful pine trees. We really enjoyed our stay and found it to be warm, cozy and super clean. We had one minor issue which Randelle addressed and resolved promptly. We definitely would consider staying at the Lil Green Cabin in the future. Our thanks to Randelle and Gabriela

Because the weather was extremely warm the cabin just didn't cool down very well. Only one fan. A couple of short comings, no facial tissues in bathroom along with no wash cloths and bar soap. Also the master bedroom closet unusable due to the amount of stuff stored in it.

Almost very good
cutest cabin in Big Bear. However, it is summer now and it was quite a surprise to see all brown everywhere. The comforter was brown faux fur. ugh. sheets etc . Surprising also was the direction of the owner to wash and dry all dishes and put away, after we paid for cleaning. I do want to stress though, nice location, quiet, beautiful trees, loved sitting on the deck. Needs to clear up a couple of things, that's all.

so cute and well done with care and love. Neighborhood was so very quite. We had a very peaceful 4 day stay, just what we were looking for. I would have liked more light to read, but did it on front porch and back patio. We stay again on next Big Bear visit. Host is super nice.

Such a vibe & great host
The cabin is so cute the photos don’t even do it justice. It’s the perfect classic cabin vibe you’d love in Big Bear. There was a mix up in the beginning of our stay but the host took care of everything swiftly and was very good at communicating everything with us to get it settled. I had my toddler with me and he loved how cool the backyard/porch area was for playing! It’s close to the main shops and lots of eating spots but away enough where you can really enjoy the woodsy atmosphere. Overall I’d definitely recommend this place to friends and family in the future, it’s so worth it!

Perfect retreat getaway
My wife and I just spent 5 days / 4 nights at this wonderful location. We were very impressed with the rental and would highly recommend it to other guests. The rental was clean and furnished nicely - kitchen had everything we needed for our cooking needs (we tend to stay in and eat). The dishwasher was convenient and the large fridge was appreciated. We used the fireplace everyday and it worked well - the nights did drop to the high 20’s so we used the heater on and off. We prefer it cool so would turn it down to the low 60’s and still felt comfortable. Master bed was very warm and comfortable (I have back issues so am sensitive to mattresses - woke up without back pain) No issues with internet although tv connection didn’t work our first night. Plugged in the laptops for streaming and all was well Neighborhood was very quiet and close to a preserve for hiking Bathroom worked great - just be aware it is a smaller shower. No complaints from us though. We had all the supplies we needed - did bring tin foil as the only additional supply we needed We had a perfect, relaxing getaway and would stay again

Stayed here with my best friend for a summer weekend away and we enjoyed ourselves. The cabin is well appointed with everything you might need (not sure about a hair dryer - confirm with Host or bring your own). No pests, quiet neighborhood, quick access to Big Bear Lake and village. Not more than two vehicles fit in the driveway, and accommodations are best for up to four people (two beds). Just what we were looking for. Thank you!
