About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Whistling Woods. Excellent location with unbeatable views and a Spacious Deck with Hot Tub.
As you step inside, you'll discover an open and inviting floor plan that seamlessly connects the kitchen, living room, and dining area, creating the perfect setting for socializing and quality time with loved ones. The kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, allowing you to whip up delicious snacks and meals effortlessly.
After a day of adventure, you can sink into the plush throw blankets and gather around the cozy wood burning fireplace, playing one of the board games provided or watching your favorite show or movie on the new 55-inch Smart tv ( Smart TVs in all bedrooms and game room) Or perhaps retreat to the game room with its rustic wood-beam ceilings and a dry bar. Challenge your companions to a friendly game on the high-end pool table or electronic dartboard, all while enveloped in the warmth and charm of this mountain sanctuary.
Your pet can join you and use the gated and protected outdoor area under the deck on even the coldest snowy days!
While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.
Step outside onto the expansive 2,000 square foot deck, complete with a hot tub, 2 fire pits , and comfy chairs where you can immerse yourself in the mesmerizing sunset over the lake and mountains. The deck is the perfect spot for unwinding, sipping your morning coffee, or just watching the world transform as the sun dips below the horizon.
Whistling Woods is perfectly located just a 5-minute drive from Bear Mountain, with a back route to avoid the long lines of people waiting to enter the parking lot. Additionally, you'll find a charming family-owned coffee shop only 5 minutes away, and the new wildlife animal center nearby for added exploration.
For your convenience, there's a spacious garage that can accommodate two cars and is stocked with a pack n play, changing table, and high chair, making it an ideal choice for families. There is also a Tesla charger - making your stay even more convenient.
This retreat is designed for your ultimate relaxation and enjoyment, where you can create lasting memories and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the embrace of the mountains. Be sure to book your stay in advance to secure your desired dates at this idyllic haven.

Beautiful views
Overall place was nice. We enjoyed the views and hot tub. It wasn’t as clean as I would like it to be and no spa towels were available. It needs a little remodeling. Only one bathroom was updated. The location and views was the best.

Gorgeous View, but lacked a few key components
You really can’t beat the view. Stunning!!! House was clean, and large enough for our party of 12. But kitchen only have 10 forks, and 5 mugs; we were only supplied with 11 towels for 12 people plus a jacuzzi. We could do laundry but no laundry supplies. The one thing that we just couldn’t get around was the lighting in the main level. We like to play games and the house was so dimly lit, we had to use our phone flashlights to see. No recessed lighting, only a chandler with the small candle bulbs. Kitchen was dimly lit too making it hard to cook. These are all very easy fixes. I hope the owners can make these small adjustments.

Wonderful Property
We had Friendsgiving at this property this year. The house was perfect for our dinner and weekend. The Spa, and Pool table, along with the perfect location was great! The house was so nice, comfortable and had enough bedrooms for everyone. It is exactly what the listing stated. We would stay here again next year and are hoping to do so.

Perfect Big Bear Family Vacation
This was the most beautiful cabin with the most spectacular views! Very clean and spacious. The spa was amazing! It snowed while we were there and they had sleds for the kids to slide down the slopes right on the side of the cabin. They also had extra snow boots in the mud room for anyone to use. The beds were heavenly and they had new Ugg comforters on them! They provided large towels for the spa and had two types of coffee makers! We are going back in the spring...I don't think we will ever stay anywhere else! The staff at check in were the best!! Allowed us to check in early and then extended our check out time. Perfect weekend with the family!

The house was very spacious and good for families. It was nice that the pool table was in a separate area from the main living area.

Great Mountain Rental
Would give this home a 4.5 STAR if we could. It was lovely and VERY clean! Communication from management company was great. We had a party of 11 including adults and teens and had room for everyone. Only complaints would be twin mattresses in the bunk room were NOT comfortable - multiple complaints from kids : ( That room also stayed a bit colder than others, but there were plenty of extra blankets to be found! Overall, the home was well maintained, well equipped kitchen, clean hot tub, and GORGEOUS view! We would definitely stay again.
