Bear and Bunny

The city of Big Bear Lake requires a rental agreement/ Good Neighbor Policy to be signed and ID uploaded to finalize your stay. After booking, You will receive an email from Rustic Retreats of Big Bear with a link for easy e-signature and ID upload. Our cabin is located in a nice and quiet family neighborhood and therefore we limit renters to people who are 25+ years old. (Families with children under 25 ARE allowed as well.) Potential renters may be asked to verify their age by providing a copy of their driver’s license or another form of official identification in person at check-in. QUIET HOURS: The official quiet hours for Big Bear are 10 pm to 7 am. Please keep noise to a minimum outside after 10 pm. As of January 2021, the city of Big Bear officially limits spa use to 7 am to 10 pm. If you use the hot tub after 10 pm, Code Enforcement can (and likely will) fine you. Loud talking and music are not allowed at any time as per local Big Bear regulations. If anyone can hear talking or music over the property line, you will be fined $500+ by the city. If Code Enforcement is called on you due to disruptions, use of the hot tub after hours, noise, music, too many guests, too many cars, or ANY OTHER Big Bear local code violations, you will be responsible for the fine issued to you as well as the fine issued to the owners (which could be at least $1000). You may also be asked to leave and no refund for remaining nights will be issued. Check in time is 4 pm. Check-Out Times: From March to November, the check out time is 11 am. From December to February, the check out time is 10 am. Consider booking the day prior to your stay or after your stay if you wish for an early check-in or late check-out, as we are unable to accommodate these. If you stay past the check-out time without permission, the cleaners will charge me and, therefore, I must charge you $100. If you stay 30 minutes past the check out time, you will be charged for the entire next night stay as well (without being able to stay). If you check in early, there is a very good chance the house has not been cleaned or inspected properly. If the cleaners see a car in the driveway, they will drive away and not clean the cabin. Therefore, if you try to check in early without permission, you forfeit the right to a properly clean house and any compensation. SPA: Use of spa is at your own risk. You MUST follow these rules.

Pets may NOT be left outside alone at any time. There are many wild animals indigenous to the Big Bear area such as coyotes and bears. Therefore, we are adamant that you never leave a pet unattended outside. We also insist that you ALWAYS walk your dog on a leash. This is important for the protection of your pet. It is recommended that you be very vigilant when walking your dog. Coyotes are active both day and night in Big Bear and are very common. Coyotes often travel in packs and, although they rarely attack a dog on leash, it has happened. The best prevention is to stay vigilant, keep your dog nearby on a leash, and be aware of your surroundings. We are not responsible for any injuries to any of your pets caused by wild animals nor are we responsible for any pet allergies you may experience due to pets previously staying in home. As set forth above, please be aware that there are many other wild animals in Big Bear such as raccoons, lizards, and ground squirrels. Please be respectful of them and do your best to ensure your pet does not attack local wildlife. Two dogs maximum. AT CHECK-IN: This property is professionally cleaned on the morning of your stay.
