We provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, cotton rounds, q-tips, and floss picks, along with limited hand towels and washcloths. Four bath towels are included (please bring extra towels for the lake).



Bathroom

Tiled shower/tub with single vanity.



Kitchen

Open to the living and dining areas, with a full-sized fridge, gas range, and 4-burner stove for whipping up a home-cooked meal. Prefer take-out? No problem, the kitchen comes fully stocked with utensils, dishware, and cookware either way. A starter supply of paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, coffee grounds, and sugar is included.



Coffee Station

12-cup drip coffee maker and Keurig to start your morning right.



Dining

Table for 4 plus 3 barstools, just off the kitchen.

Large sofa, two armchairs, wood-burning fireplace, record player with a small vinyl collection, and a smart TV for streaming your favorites.



Fireplace

Natural wood-burning. Wood is not provided but can be purchased and delivered through our guest portal (or simply ping us a message).



Parking

Asphalt tandem parking for up to 2 vehicles. This is a high-snow area, so AWD, 4x4, and chains may be needed in winter, and the driveway has an incline.



Deck

The best seat in the house for Big Bear's stunning sunsets, with a propane firepit and BBQ grill for evenings under the stars. Propane tanks are swapped weekly; if you need one exchanged sooner, send us a photo of the itemized receipt and we'll reimburse you.



Pets

We're unable to accommodate pets. Service animals must be declared at booking with proper documentation submitted right away. Undocumented animals will be treated as pets, and the booking may be canceled.



Please take a moment to review our additional house rules. Many are set by the city and enforced through code compliance as part of our permit, so we appreciate your understanding.

Please note: this is a single-story home, but there are a few steps leading into the home and deck.



We would absolutely love to host you at Ursa Minor, with its peaceful setting and those unforgettable mountain views right from the deck.

Great little place at a decent price

The property matched the pictures. The checkin process was smooth. Loved that there was the ability to charge my car so I didn't have to wait at the public charging stations. Will definitely recommend!

Cozy little cabin

We loved the vintage feel of the place, nice little kitchen and comfy furniture. The only drawback was the small non-city garbage container which got filled up in short order. Also no recycling bin. We took our garbage and recycling to the Big Bear collection point, which was easy enough. We'd love to come back again. Oh, access the beds are VERY comfortable. We felt at home. We also enjoyed BOTH the Keureg and standard coffee maker, with ground coffee and filters, and Starbucks K-cups included! Thanks!
