Other things to note
The city of Big Bear Lake has a "Good Neighbor" policy that all renters must sign and agree to when they visit. Here is the text from the official brochure:
"GOOD NEIGHBOR GUIDE: We are excited to share our beautiful 4 season community with you. While visiting Big Bear Lake and the surrounding Valley, we ask that you respect and care for the mountain and its residents. This guide provides resources to achieve that, be it snow, fire safety, vacation rentals, or wildlife. For a more harmonious relationship with Big Bear Lake and the Valley, the city of Big Bear Lake asks you to please review and follow these guidelines. We appreciate you. Welcome and thank you for choosing to vacation in Big Bear Lake, Southern California’s premier 4 season resort community!
GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICIES: Welcome and thank you for choosing to vacation in Big Bear Lake, Southern California’s premier 4 season resort community! We are pleased to welcome over 1.2 million visitors per year to our beautiful community. Whether you are here to enjoy the abundant natural features and amenities found in our surrounding forest or looking for some rest and relaxation in our quiet and tranquil residential neighborhoods, we trust your experience will be world-class. While enjoying your time in our mountain community, we’d like to remind you of some important community expectations for guests staying in our residential neighborhoods. We also want to provide some tips that will make your stay more enjoyable and help you vacation like a local. We want you, your family, and friends to have an amazing vacation while still being respectful and considerate to the neighbors around you.
EXPECTATIONS FOR GUEST BEHAVIOR: Sound carries differently at higher elevation than it does on flat land at sea level, due to higher elevations and varying topography. Sound in the mountains can carry for miles. A normal private conversation on a deck can be heard from many houses away. Amplified music can be heard a mile or more away from the speaker.
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR: A big part of Big Bear Lake’s charm is the friendly and helpful residents. If you are fortunate enough to be staying at a home near a full-time resident and see them on their deck or in their yard, introduce yourself! Many of our residents enjoy meeting visitors and providing tips on activities and restaurants.
VISIT LIKE A LOCAL: If you extend your visit beyond the weekend, you will see the large amounts of litter and trash left behind by visitors. Here are some tips to help you and your family preserve our natural playground for the next generation.
LEAVE NO TRACE: Simply put, whatever you take into the forest, bring back out including broken sleds.
DON'T LITTER: There are dumpsters located at all trail-heads and picnic areas. If a bin is full, find another. Animals will tear bags open and spread trash throughout the forest.
KEEP OUR COMMUNITY PET-FRIENDLY: Please remember to keep your dog leashed and always bag your pet’s waste, placing it in a dumpster. Leaving your pet’s waste in a bag on the side of a trail is littering.
KEEP THE PEACE: If you are going to listen to music while hiking or enjoying the lake, use headphones instead of a Bluetooth speaker.
RESIDENTIAL FIRE PIT & BBQ: Open fire pit permits are not permissible at short term rental properties. Gas / propane, charcoal, and wood pellet barbecues are permissible with proper briquette disposal.
