Comstock Cabin by Rather Be Properties

Escape to Comstock Cabin, a charming getaway that guests rave is sparkling clean, cozy & perfectly located. Tucked into a peaceful cul-de-sac surrounded by towering pines, the cabin feels like your own private sanctuary—yet you’re just minutes from The Village, Big Bear Lake, Snow Summit & scenic hiking trails.

During Winter ☆ Hit the Slopes!
Snow lovers rejoice — Comstock Cabin is only 1.5 miles from Snow Summit and 3.5 miles from Bear Mountain, making it the perfect home base for skiing, snowboarding, or tubing. After a day on the slopes, return to the cabin to cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace, play board games, or enjoy hot cocoa on the deck under the pines.

During Summer ☆ Walk to the Lake!
Our home is conveniently located just a 15–20 minute walk (about 0.8 miles) from the shores of Big Bear Lake.

Other Things To Note:
☆ Traveling in Winter: From November 1st to April 30th, CalTrans may require all vehicles to carry snow chains, regardless of whether you have 4WD. Be sure to check road conditions before traveling. Chains are widely available at auto supply shops, hardware stores, and convenience stores. We cannot issue refunds if you`re turned away due to not having chains or the proper vehicle—please plan ahead.

☆ Family Friendly: As parents ourselves, we’ve tried to make the cabin as family-friendly as possible. Amenities include a pack `n play with crib sheets, plastic plates, bowls, utensils, sippy cups, plus toys, books, games, and puzzles for kids and families to enjoy together.

☆ Pet-Friendly Accommodations: We welcome one dog only (up to 60 lbs) for a fee of $100 per stay. This fee helps cover the additional cleaning required for pet hair. If any waste beyond hair (such as urine or feces) is found, an additional $200 cleaning fee will be charged. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet, and dogs should not be left unattended in the home, as barking may disturb neighbors. Please let us know if you are traveling with a dog

☆ Power Outages: Power outages are not uncommon in mountain areas and are usually caused by the utility provider. We do our best to notify guests in advance if we’re informed, but this isn’t always possible. If an outage occurs, reach out to us—we’re happy to provide flashlights or assistance. Unfortunately, we are not liable for outages during your stay.

☆ Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in a peaceful, residential neighborhood—ideal for relaxation and reconnecting with nature.
☆ No A/C — but fans and Big Bear’s cool mountain air keep the home comfortable during warmer months.
☆ Please bring extra firewood if you plan to use the fireplace frequently. We provide some starter logs, but it’s always good to have more on hand.
