Photos and Description of the Big Bear Lake vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed, 3 Baths (Sleeps 8)

This spacious mountain home has the 'feel' of a cabin, the 'comfort' of a home, and the 'affordability' of a local motel. We want to let you know everything available to you this summer (see below). We are new to the business of renting out our treasured home and we would very much like to share the benefits of building a 'returning guest' list. In order to do that, we price our home low, while offering all the pleasures our guests might anticipate.

Our greatest feature, however, is our location. Although we are located just minutes from Snow Summit, the Village and the lake, we are just outside the 'busy' city, up the hill about 1/4 mile, on a dead end street which affords less traffic, and an elevated view. Adjacent to the end of the street, begins a series of hiking trails maintained by the San Bernardino National Forest.

Imagine entering the 'cabin-like' living room and dining room, then walking through the well-stocked kitchen with an island and breakfast bar, past the stairs leading up to the second level bedrooms, bath and balcony, then entering the master bedroom, complete with king sized bed, wood burning fireplace, large closet space and master bath on the right. Through the sliding glass doors, you see a balcony with an inviting view that can be seen while lounging in the spa, or just sitting around the natural gas BBQ.

Our winter guests will enjoy the convenience of a natural gas heating system, fireplaces in two of the bedrooms, and a pot-bellied stove in the living room. We have a mud room/laundry room with a deep utility sink that you’ll find very useful. The large, two-car garage comes in very handy during snow conditions.

Big Bear averages about five or six good snowfalls a year, and the nearby Ski Slopes manage to keep open between snowfalls. But in case you’re not overjoyed about putting on snow chains, you’ll find that there are many days where the roads are open to all vehicles. So why not take the kids for a two-night stay. After a good snowfall, kids will enjoy great sledding right in our neighborhood.

Sincerely, Karen Hickey, Owner

About Mellody

Scot and I both grew up in Southern California. We remember taking advantage of the local skiing in Big Bear during the winter and attending YMCA camp during the summer.

Mellody purchased this house in 2007
Why Mellody chose Big Bear Lake

Scot's parents, Bruce & Mellody Anderson offered us a joint investment in a cabin located nicely for potential renters. In addition to being just minutes from all that Big Bear has to offer, the structure sits on a hill with views extending for miles. We are also towards the top of a dead-end street, so there is very little traffic and a sense of privacy.

What makes this house unique

Close to the Lake. Close to Snow Summit Mountain Ski resort. Close to the village. Close to Hiking Trails in the San Bernardino National Park adjacent to our street. Close to stores and restaurants.

We had problems with the water heater and the owner was sick but she had it fixed right away. Thanks Mellody! Large rooms with king-size beds. Kitchen was well stocked. Lots of board games for kids and my son enjoyed the jacuzzi right outside the master's bedroom. It was just 1mile away from Snow Summit and it was perfect for my snowboarding kids. We'll be back soon...Jackie

My sisters and I chose this cabin for a girls getaway with our mother, and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Our first observation was that the cabin was exceptionally clean and well maintained. After settling in and roaming about, we found that everything we could possibly ask for was already there, right down to soap in the bathrooms and clean, fresh towels to use at the jacuzzi (which was also very clean and ready for use). The cabin was perfect for our mother, who is unable to climb stairs, with all the necessities on the first level. The view from both balconies was breathtaking, and just sitting and watching the squirrels and birds was a treat for all of us. The birds (we think they were Stellar Jays) would entertain us in exchange for peanuts which were on hand in the cabin. Melody is truly a wonderful person, and treated us as if we were family. Her concern for ensuring our stay was as pleasant and carefree as possible was obvious from her help with the reservation and booking process through our departure. She went above and well beyond our expectations in every way. My sisters and I are already planning our next trip with our families, and we will definitely be renting this property again. Our search for a great cabin in Big Bear is over, we have certainly found the place for us on all future trips.

What a great stay we had in Big Bear! Mellody made our rental experience seamless. This home is comfortable,cozy & stylish. Fully equipped kitchen, clean throughout, and tons of games & movies to watch. Loved the pool table & dart board in the garage! Television in living room and master are newer styles. And the fireplaces in the bedrooms are a very nice feature. Washer & dryer came in handy too. The home is located just past the Village with everything near and convenient, yet when you drive up the road it feels like your miles away from town. The wrap around deck and outdoor hot tub are great. Hot tub was great after a full day of snow play. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back soon, but definitely next winter. Thank you Mellody!

We stayed 12/19-21/11. The house was perfect for our needs - close (short drive) to slopes and to shopping. We appreciated the hospitality and all of the amenities provided.

Thanks for helping to make our stay in Big Bear so memorable!

Thanksgiving 2011

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful house over Thanksgiving 2011. It was very cozy, clean and stocked - and only a 25 minute walk into the Village. There was heaps of firewood stacked in the garage and the house was always toasty warm. There is a huge forest at the top of the dead-end street and there had been 2 feet of snowfall a couple of days before we arrived. Lots of snow to play in (using sleds/saucers provided generously at the house) and lots of pine cones to collect! When we weren't playing in the snow we were thoroughly entertained with the movies and boardgames provided. Our neighbours joined us on the last day with their twin 9 year old boys - the 6 of us had such a wonderful time. It was so wonderful that we asked if it was possible for an extension on our check-out time and Mellody was more than accommodating. The jacuzzi was awesome, and my husband and I enjoyed the beautiful sunsets from it. It did get very dark out there! I would highly recommend this property.

Thank you Mellody. Sue and Ben

The residence is absolutely amazing, and I hate to repeat what everyone else has said in previous posts but the pictures do not do it justice. It was so nice to walk into a warm house on our arrival. My wife, 2 young children, and my parents absolutely enjoyed the week we spent there.

The kitchen was well stocked, everything we seemed to forget was there.

The owners were amazing throughout the entire process.

I would highly recommend this location to a friend.

My favorite part about the house was the fact that everything was 1 mile away. It seemed as if every time we put an address for an attraction into our GPS it was always a mile away from the house.

I also really enjoyed the fact that the house was in a very quiet neighborhood.

My son got to build his first snowman, throw his first snowball, and ride his first snow tube......THANKS.

Wonderful Home with a Cabin Feel!

A group of friends and I stayed at this home and were very delighted and happy with everything about it. Mellody was extremely caring and helpful and made planning this experience very easy. The home was very clean and well maintained, modern, spacious, and everything we could have hoped for. The rooms were huge, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed (we only had to bring the food), and the laundry room came in handy. The wrap around deck with hot tub and grill was very cool and fun to lounge on and experience the snowfall. The home was close to the slopes which was also good. All the amenities were great, and the neighborhood was very peaceful and secluded, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting to spend vacation in big bear.

Christmas for Our Kids!

We just returned from 3 nights in Big Bear at "Enjoy Our House as Much as We Do." From the very first e-mail I received from Mellody, I felt a connection. Her and Karen both are absolutely wonderful to deal with. Rather than purchasing Christmas gifts for our girls, who are now grown, we make memories. This trip was our gift to them this year. IT WAS PERFECT. The house is fabulous. I have to say, the pictures are good, but the real deal is so much better. We were very comfortable, and there were 6 adults. I would highly recommend this place and hope we are able to use their home again this summer.
