To round out the bottom floor, there is a den off the living room that has been converted into an additional sleeping area. There are bunk beds, a new 42” flat screen TV with Roku, a Nintendo 64 (N64) gaming console, and DVD player.
The exterior of the downstairs level includes a spacious balcony that wraps around the front exterior of house.

As a bonus, there is a Game Nook that features vintage video games! Original Nintendo (with Super Mario Bros., and more), Sega Genesis (with Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Street Fighter 2, and more), and a Xbox 360. There is another twin futon in case you stay up all night playing vintage video games.
A large garage occupies the lower level and can fit more than 2 guest cars inside the garage. The upper garage does not allow guest parking - because it contains an indoor basketball hoop!

From the host
The house is located on the North Shore and sits on plowed roads. This means you will have access to the Big Bear ski slopes (approximately 3.5 miles away) even if it snows.
The Village is 5 miles away.
Big Bear's famous Oktoberfest is less than a mile away (seasonal).
The Big Bear Discovery Center is 3 miles away. There are hiking paths of the Discovery Center and regular events for kids / whole family. A great place to start your outdoor adventure for those new to Big Bear.
Hiking is nearby in Van Dusen Canyon - accessible from Van Dusen Canyon Rd just 2 streets to the East on 38 (North Shore).
Boat rentals are available at the lake. Walking trails are available along the lake on the North Shore.
For aviation buffs, we are near the Big Bear municipal airport and you can see general aviation airplanes takeoff and land from the decks. Sitting on the top deck watching the airplanes on the weekend is a favorite.
Nearby Van Dusen Canyon offers off-road driving and hiking.
