Big or Little this Bear is sure to become a family vacation favorite.

Goldilocks would love this place! All that’s missing is Mama Bear, but I am sure you will be bringing her along. Big Bear/Little Bear features 8 bedrooms! Six bedrooms in the main house and two more in the nearby apartment, create sleeping space for 24 happy campers! Of course, this won’t feel at all like camping. With two kitchens, one large and one small, meals are sure to be a wonderful opportunity to share stories about today and develop plans for tomorrow. At some point, rest will be required. No problem. You can unwind with a favorite TV show, play a game of cards, or shoot a game of pool. Rest and get ready! Winter visitors will love the short walk to Timberline Mountain’s Dew Drop Trail. In every season Big Bear/Little Bear provides easy access to hiking and biking trails. It is a short drive to Blackwater Falls, Canaan Resort, Seneca Rocks and more. I know you are going to want to come back again and again.

Family vacation
Property is beautiful and the Floorplan with both buildings worked great for our family of 18. Cleaning crew needs to pay more attention to details and the deck needs some repairs.

Family Vacation
We really loved our stay at Big Bear Little Bear! The home was so comfortable with lots of space for everyone. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed the outdoors, hiking, caving, and enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery. Visitors should be warned however to bring their own food as it is really difficult to find a place to dine nearby and grocery stores are hard to find and not close. Most dining establishments are open only on weekends. And be prepared to pay in cash. Disruptions in internet seem to be frequent and can cause closings. Driving long distances on unimproved roads is necessary to reach the most spectacular views and hiking. But well worth it!

Great family vacation spot!
We had a group of 9 adults and 7 kids ranging from 6 months - 12 years old. There was plenty of space between the two buildings, with beds to spare! The main house is where we spent the majority of the time. The eating area inside accommodated 8 people at the main table, four at the counter and three at a smaller side table. Most meals were consumed outside on the deck picnic tables. There were some minor inconveniences but nothing that really took away from the overall experience. Laundry facilities were excellent, with two washers/dryers in the main house and an additional washer/dryer in the garage apartment. Both houses were well equipped with everything we needed for meal prep and cooking, with the main house having two fridges and two dishwashers - we never ran out of space. The grounds were small - a very small front area of grass/rocks, and a slightly larger back area that was wooded. The only downside for our group was the lack of space for outdoor activities such as a badminton, volleyball, etc. But there is a nice park in Davis 20 minutes away where we were able to do the outdoor activities we had planned. The three car garage was available for use, and it was where we stored a lot of activity items to avoid clutter in the house. If you need the garage for parking, it obviously adds three spaces in addition to the driveway where we were able to fit a large truck, a minivan, two kayak trailers and three cars. We had an awesome stay!

The property was phenomenal! We had everything we needed for a group of 19. The weather was not ideal, and the there was so much to do without being outside. My family absolutely loved this place, and would recommend many times over.

Great Thanksgiving Stay!
Our family of 18 had a great time staying a this beautiful mountain house. There was plenty of room for all us and super comfortable. The kids had a ton of fun with the pool table, their own family room, bunk room and hottub! There were great walking paths and it was fun seeing the skiers on our walks enjoy the start of the season. We'd highly recommend this property for large families and we hope to be back!

Fantastic stay for a large family
This house was perfect for a large family especially with multiple teenagers and adults. There was plenty of space for everyone! The house is very well equipped with plates, pans, knives, etc. Which made cooking for a large group much much easier! There is great hiking, walking, and canoeing close by…an all around great trip!

Easy access, amazing for the price
I stayed here with 20+ adults and had an amazing time. Bedding and privacy for just about everyone. Could 10 cars in the driveway/garage as long as they aren't all larger than sedans. 15 minutes to grocery store and 15 minutes to multiple amazing hikes in Dolly Sods. Would absolutely stay here again.
