Things to Do
There are plenty of things to do in Big Bear. Here are a few of our favorites:
(1) Rent a pontoon boat and go fishing on Big Bear Lake.
(2) Between May and November, find the hidden gem “Bluff Lake,” which is not very far from the Castle Rock Trail. Here are photos that my wife took of this area, and we only discovered it two years after we bought the Lovenest. As great as these photos are, the pictures don’t do the place justice!
This is the entry from the back way…. easy to miss.

Welcome to The Lovenest!
Nestled in a very quiet and peaceful area of Big Bear City – and only five miles east of Snow Summit – the 1BR, 1BA “Lovenest” boasts a beautiful fireplace, upgraded kitchenette, Wifi, Amazon Firestick, and a view of Gold Mountain.
One of the best vacation bargains in the entire valley, keep that lovelight on fire with quiet strolls along the adjoining meadow where you can hold hands, breathe in the fresh air, and watch the horses play.
The “Lovenest” can comfortably accommodate four people. There is one queen bed in the bedroom, a Queen fold-out sofa, and a sofabed twin in the living room, and a spacious backyard (and room for an RV).

Special Amenities at the Lovenest
Our cabin contains a newer refrigerator that can comfortably accommodate all of your food. You can fill this fridge at the local Vons, which is stocked with everything you could want… including firewood.
The kitchen area has a toaster, coffee maker, rice cooker, and a microwave. Utensils, glasses, mugs, pans, oven mitts, and other cooking materials are available for use with the stove and compact oven.
We do NOT have cable television; however, we have free wifi and a Firestick. Feel free to add Firestick apps for your particular home cable system, which should allow you to stream other television via the internet.
We are subscribers to the following media services:
1) Netflix: feel free to utilize our Netflix subscription, which is available through the Firestick. Hundreds of television programs and movies are available.
2) SLINGTV: Available on our Firestick.
3) Major League Baseball TV: Rob is a big baseball fan, so feel free to use our subscription to MLB.tv via the Firesstick to watch your favorite team (local teams are subject to blackout, unfortunately).
4) Amazon Prime: Via firestick.
On June 17, 2014, we added a charcoal BBQ in the back.
On August 7, 2014, we added games! We have Yahtzee, Uno, Scrabble, Headbands, Checkers, Backgammon, and Dominoes, among others!
In October, 2014, we upgraded our fireplace for heat efficiency (and the firebox was too big, which sometimes caused smoke to come into the cabin).
In November, 2014, we added a cozy bench for hot cocoa on the porch!
In April, 2015, we added a Playstation 3 (which has a Blueray DVD player)…
In April, 2017, we upgraded the electrical box and our heating system.
In May, 2019, we upgraded our couches… there is a queen foldout and a twin foldout.
