We have snow!! Come on up for some winter fun! You're going to love it! Can't get enough of this view! Private Apt. w/ separate entrance and separate large deck. Halfway between Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead. Hang out on the deck & enjoy the view from this cutely decorated guest apt. below our vacation home. Watch the amazing sunsets & the stars at night. The open land behind our home is great for hiking with the kids in the summer/spring & snow sledding in the winter. NO PETS/NO SMOKING The space "Live well, Laugh often, and Love with all your Heart" that is the motto of our guest suite. We are halfway between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake. On your way here you'll also cross over the bridge of our own seasonal lake The lake is full most months but dries up in the summer and doesn't come back until we get enough rain and snow. The guest suite is within walking distance to our seasonal lake and the backyard area is great for hiking for the little ones. The view off the deck will make you want to hang out there all day. Our home is a beautiful log home and is at the end of a street so we have open land behind our house for snowplay in the winter and hiking in the summer. Though you are in a neighborhood , there is a feeling of seclusion because of the open land around our place, not to mention that it makes for great views. There is one parking space for the guest suite. In the winter when there is snow on the ground it is the guests responsibility to pay for snow plowing. We will set up a company to come out and plow a place for you to park. We charge you only what the company charges us to plow. You will pay on Airbnb's resolution center. When you arrive at our vacation home you will go down a set of concrete steps and then across the main house deck to another set of wooden steps down to the guest suite. The guest suite is below the main house. In the winter and on holidays there may be guests in the main house above you. Because the guest suite is below our vacation home there can be some noise if there are guests staying above. There is a queen size bed in the bedroom and a queen size sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pots & pans and utensils. All you need to bring is your food and toiletries. (and clothes of course) There is a smart TV in the guest suite so be sure to bring your family code to access Netflix and Hulu. There are books, games and puzzles to look through if you feel inclined. There is a wood burning stove in the living room so be sure to bring wood to burn if you plan on using it (make sure the flue is open) for those cold nights but we also have forced air heating. We try to leave you a basket of firewood if we can. We have a shower (sorry, no tub) in the bathroom. There is a washer and dryer in a closet in the bedroom. We allow 1 well behaved dog. But we have some rules. Please do not leave your dog unattended in the guest suite. Some dogs do not do well in unfamiliar places. Please do not let your dog on the furniture. If your dog is used to sleeping with you on the bed , please bring a large blanket for them to sleep on. In wet or snowy conditions, please bring your own towel to wipe your dogs paws before entering the home. We love animals but must protect our investment. We charge a $25 pet fee to be paid on Airbnb before lockbox code is given . Thanks for understanding. The guest suite deck has Adirondack chairs to take in the view and a patio table and chairs for outdoor dining. Did I mention the great view? Oh I guess I did but it's worth mentioning again. Wait till you see the sunsets! And on a clear night, you need to take a look at all the stars. Who knew there were so many. It's amazing!!! Guest access You will have access to all of the 1 bedroom guest suite apartment below our vacation home. There is no inside access to the guest suite from the main home and you will have your own front door with it's own distinct key. There is a set of concrete steps down to the main house deck and then a set of wooden steps which take you down to the guest suite and deck. You will be walking across our vacation home deck to get to the guest suite and if there are guests in our vacation home (which is usually only in the winter) , they may walk across your deck to get to the backyard area. It all works out. Other things to note There is a 2 night minimum. There are occasionally times when there will be guests in the vacation home above. This is usually in the winter months or on holidays. Please be aware that there can be some noise from the main home above if we have guests who are staying there. Some guests state that they can hear the footsteps and talking from above. The guest suite apartment is attached to the main home but completely separate as far as being able to enter and has its own deck with outdoor furniture. There is one parking space for you and it is to the right of the home. If you are in need of more parking space be sure to let us know. There are concrete steps down to the main home and then another set of wooden steps down to the guest suite. Because of that, it feels very private and has that great view that I keep talking about. We have a STRICT NO SMOKING POLICY. THAT MEANS CIGARETTES AND MARIJUANA. My husband is allergic. If we smell cigarettes or marijuana in the guest suite, you will be charged for carpet cleaning and cleaning of walls. Thanks for understanding Registration number CESTRP-2021-00341
