5 Bears Den. Spa Hidden in Boulders. BBQ. Game Room Galore. Tri-Level Home. Family Friendly.

Five Bears Den is the ultimate mountain log cabin for a family vacation, a large group of friends, or even a corporate retreat.

Spanning three expansive levels, this extraordinary cabin thoughtfully houses two bedrooms on each floor, which offers optimal privacy for multiple families or groups, making it the ideal setting for shared memories and bonding while giving everyone space for privacy. As you step inside the ground floor, the majestic high vaulted ceilings, coupled with the rich
knotty pine and hardwood floors, immediately invoke the feeling of a grand mountain lodge.

This is the heart of Five Bears Den with an impeccably designed kitchen, oak cabinets, stainless steel appliances, expansive stone counters, breakfast island and dining area. The main family room, rock fireplace, sofa, TV, main dining room, access to the main bedroom, and multiple adjacent balconies are also here offering 180-degree views.

Ascend to the upstairs bar and wet bar to be entertained by the large wall TV and seating area. There are also two bedrooms and a full bathroom up here. Each room in Five Bears Den has
been thoughtfully curated to mirror the tranquil beauty of its mountainous surroundings, so guests feel at one with nature even while indoors.

Descend to the lower level, and you're met with an oasis of fun, featuring full-sized arcade games, another wet bar and fridge, and even a popcorn machine. This floor offers two
bedrooms and a full bathroom. One of the bedrooms has two amazing bunkbeds, perfect for
kids.

Outside, the spacious grounds offer plenty of space to walk and have a conversation, or enjoy some coffee while reading a book, or BBQ on the wraparound redwood decks, or immerse yourself in the brand-new jacuzzi surrounded by boulders. Whether you're listening to the melodies of local birds in the morning or catching the golden hues of the sunset from the deck,
every moment at the cabin feels like a piece of paradise. We invite you to escape from the everyday hustle and unwind, rejuvenate, and reconnect with loved ones.
This great location is a short walk to the Big Bear Convention Center, which is home to the World-Famous Big Bear Oktoberfest and Wyatt's Grill and Saloon. It's also a short walk to Big
Bear Snow Play, which is home to both Winter and Summer activities such as snow tubing and summer tubing, a ropes course, and go carts Speedway. The two main grocery stores in Big Bear are also very close.

Whether you're listening to the melodies of local birds in the morning or catching the golden hues of the sunset from the deck, every moment at the cabin feels like a piece of paradise.

While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.

We invite you to escape from the everyday hustle and unwind, rejuvenate, and reconnect with loved ones.
