Loud talking and music are not allowed at any time as per City of Big Bear Lake Code- If anyone can hear talking or music over the property line- you will be fined by the city at least $500. If the Code Enforcement Department is called on you due to disruptions, use of the hot tub after hours, loudness, music, too many people, too many cars, or ANY OTHER City of Big Bear Lake 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 also may be asked to leave and no refund of remaining nights will be issued. Check in time is 4pm. Check-Out Time: From March to November is Check out is 11am From December thru February Check out is 10am 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 check-out without permission, the cleaners will charge me and, therefore, I must charge you $100. If you stay 30 min past check out, 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 may have not been cleaned or inspected properly. And if the cleaners see a car in the driveway they will drive away.

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.
