The Space
The main living area offers the classic warmth of a Big Bear cabin, with stone-and-log character, updated flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, and views toward the lake. The comfortable layout creates an inviting place to gather after a day on the water, exploring The Village, or skiing the nearby slopes.
The fully equipped kitchen includes the essentials for preparing meals during your stay and flows naturally into the main living spaces, making it easy for family and friends to spend time together.
The primary bedroom has been updated with a king-size Purple mattress, vaulted ceiling, ceiling fans, and French doors opening to a private lakeview deck. Start the morning with coffee overlooking the water or step outside to enjoy the quiet Metcalf Bay setting.
Outside, the spacious lakefront yard gives guests room to relax and enjoy the property throughout the year.

During winter, the yard can become a fun space for snow play when conditions permit.
Spend your days in one of the best spots on the lake nestled in the trees in a protected cove in a mulit-million dollar tree lined neighborhood in Meltcalf Bay, only 2 miles from the village and some of the best hiking in the area. Enjoy seasonal lake activities, exploring Big Bear Village, or skiing at nearby Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. Enjoy a morning stroll or a nice run down very scenic pine treed streets with lake views. Return to relax in the hot tub, gather with family and friends, or enjoy the outdoor space. Enjoy summertime lakefront swimming and wintertime sledding in this lakefront yard. With its rustic mountain character and convenient access to Big Bear attractions, Raccoon's Den provides a comfortable home base for your next mountain getaway.

Reviewer Comments:
Raccoon's Den was a great cabin for our 3 night stay. The neighborhood is clean and quiet, and close enough to shops and restaurants. The cabin had everything we needed to cook our meals, relax with our pup and some movies and to enjoy the hot tub. We used the hot tub in the evenings and notice the lights were not working. It was still cold in Big Bear so having the heater at night made for comfortable and cozy nights. We'd stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
Raccoons Den has a great location. Close to the village and other amenities. Lake view from deck and balcony are great. Some of the downfalls are no dishwasher, and trash has to be transported to a location a short drive away, outside of community. Home has basic kitchen necessities. Overall would recommend for a stay in Big Bear.

Reviewer Comments:
My guests and I had a great time in this quaint and quiet cabin. It was cozy and serene. Everything we could think of was available to us in the home so we just had to bring additional food. On one of the nights we ordered pizza in and there were no issues getting it delivered to the cabin. The mattresses could use an upgrade, at least for my back they were not comfortable, I slept in the room with the double beds. The only thing I couldn’t figure out was how to 'sign the guest book' through the Hospitality app. I was asked to download the app when I booked my cabin. It gave instructions to sign it digitally but not where to do it within the app. Otherwise I loved every minute of it. Wish I could have stayed.
