NO Smoking – NO Parties – NO Pets /Animals – please respect our home.
Guest Access: The entire cabin including all amenities will be available to enjoy. Make yourself at home!
Other Things To Note: NO PARTIES: Parties of any kind are strictly prohibited. If you’re planning on having a party, please move on – this cabin is not for you. The Happy Fox Retreat is intended for guests looking for a little R&R, a quiet getaway in the mountains.
NO SMOKING INSIDE: We have a very strict no smoking inside policy. The fee is $500 for violation and we are VERY STRICT on this. We have wifi smoke detectors that will notify us of an immediate violation. If you need to smoke, please do so OUTSIDE, and dispose of any butts in the grey/silver ashtrays in the designated areas. Remember, you are in a national forest with trees ALL around you – improper and careless disposal WILL catch our home on fire & you will be liable. Please be responsible & do your part. If you or anyone in your party smokes – please be honest with us.
NO PETS / ANIMALS: We, the owners have severe allergies to various types of animal dander. Our throat & lungs close up and it becomes hard to breathe. Because we regularly stay at our cabin – for our own safety & well-being we ask all guests to leave their pets/animals at home. Thank you.
SECURITY CAMERAS: For security & maintenance – we have 2 exterior security cameras monitoring all front and back areas of the house including the spa. HOWEVER, based on our discretion we’d be happy to snooze the back camera for you. We value your privacy! Always happy to discuss, just ask!
RENTAL AGREEMENT: We do require a separate rental agreement to be e-signed within 24 hours of your confirmed booking, along with Valid Government Ids, contact info and some other info to be provided. Happy to answer any questions on this!
REMOVAL OF TRASH: The City of Big Bear Lake does NOT have a trash pick-up service and therefore mandates that guests must remove their own trash. Guests are responsible for taking their trash to one of the city’s trash dump sites at the end of each stay.
OCCUPANCY: The Happy Fox Retreat can comfortably accommodate up to 4 adults.
5 Adults will not be comfortable. So again, 4 adults total please. Thanks!
Parking: The City of Big Bear Lake limits Parking to a maximum of 2 vehicles for the house. No Street Parking is allowed in any residential neighborhood.
CHAINS: Chains are required at all times during the winter season. Guests are responsible for checking the weather forecast and road restrictions.
AIR-CONDITIONING:: (SEASONAL) We have a portable A/C unit that keeps the main living area only, very comfortable. There is no A/C In the bedrooms. But we have plenty of window fans that bring in ICE cold air at night. (PLEASE NOTE: A/C is seasonal & is available From June 1 to September 15th)
SPA:: The spa cover is pretty heavy. To help offset this we have the black metal bar to help move it for you. Flip the cover onto the bar, move the bar to the fence (let the bar do the heavy lifting) hook to fence for safety – a picture and detailed instructions are located in our house manual at the Retreat.
CLEANING SERVICES:: Our cabin is well cleaned after each stay by our trusted cleaners who know our home inside and out; but please note housekeeping is not provided daily, only after before and after your stay.
SNOW REMOVAL:: Snow removal is arranged prior to the check-in time, but guests may need to shovel their parking spot(s) if they arrive late after it’s been snowing or if it snows during their stay. But don’t fret, it’s part of the mountain experience and shovels are provided so everyone can lend a hand!

You can be confident everything is as described and in working order. I've rented many vacation properties, and this has the best directions I've ever seen. Everything is labeled and well organized.

The host and the co-hosts were extremely responsive whenever we asked for recommendations or needed help. The accommodation was wonderful with everything we needed and more including karaoke, projector for movies, and fireplace that our kids absolutely enjoyed. It was walking distance to an excellent sledding spot, and just 3-5 minutes away from big bear ski resorts. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place!

This place was so great! So many thoughtful details both decorative and functional, my favorite being the heater in the bathroom haha. So many fun things to do inside the house as well. We had a blast doing karaoke, watching a movie on the big screen, and our toddler loved the games, toys, and books. Thanks!

We had an enjoyable stay at the cabin. Check in instructions were very clear and seamless. The cabin was well stocked and had lots of great features, including the projector, record player and plenty of games. The hot tub outside was easy to operate and warm right away. The cabin was located in a great area and was very walkable. The hosts were very kind and quickly responsive. Overall an awesome stay. Highly recommended. Thank you!
