Enjoy Snowy Days and Starry Nights at This Winter Cabin Airbnb in Southern California

When you think of Southern California, what are the first words that come to mind? For me, it is sunshine, the ocean, and perfect beach days. However, after a visit to Big Bear Lake during the winter months, you may begin to think of words like snow, chilly, and winter wonderland. Just a short drive from Los Angeles, Big Bear Lake is a popular destination for winter activities in Southern California and a terrific getaway spot, especially when you book a stay at this cabin Airbnb in Big Bear Lake. It’s the perfect place for spending snowy days and starry nights in SoCal.

Big Bear Lake is a wonderful place to escape the hustle of the city and enjoy some time outdoors. This man-made lake is tucked away in the San Bernardino National Forest, with an elevation that ranges between 6,750 feet and 9,000 feet. 

Big Bear Lake is a bucket-list-worthy destination no matter the time of the year. In the summer, this area comes alive with hiking, boating, and golfing opportunities. In the winter, it transforms into a wonderland with an average snowfall of 106 inches. This area is even home to Big Bear Mountain Resort, where you’ll find acres of rideable terrain and slopes for every skill level.

While there are several different places to stay in Big Bear Lake, California, I recommend this cabin vacation rental Airbnb where you can immerse yourself in the beauty, magic, and coziness that only the winter season brings.

Everything about this vacation rental is going to impress you. The cabin itself is recently remodeled and as you walk inside, you’ll immediately notice the little details throughout the property from the appliances and décor to the hardware and furnishings.

I particularly love the vaulted ceilings and the large windows that let in ample natural sunlight. There’s also a wood-burning fireplace where you can curl up with a good book and watch the snow fall outside.

There are two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms throughout the property, providing plenty of space for a small family, a couple’s getaway, or even a solo adventure. The kitchen is also fully stocked and there’s a dining room where you can enjoy family meals or even hold a family game night.

And that’s just the beginning of the amenities you’ll find at this Airbnb. There is also a bonus game room for the kids, a Smart Roku TV, cozy linens, Wi-Fi, and more.

While there is so much to love about the interior of this vacation rental in SoCal, the outside is just as wonderful. Spend your days on the wrap-around deck, where you can enjoy views of the snow-covered mountains and trees. This is also an ideal spot for simply enjoying the quiet of the night and the beauty of the sky above.

Plus, there is a hot tub on the patio where you can soak away life’s worries and even let the snow fall around you. There are other outdoor features as well including an EV charger, fire pit, grill, and more. Of course, you'll also find sleds and snow tubes for hours of fun outdoors. Just make sure you bundle up for the chilly weather!

Whether you need a basecamp for your days filled with playing in the snow or you want someplace cozy, relaxing, and surrounded by winter's beauty, this cabin Airbnb at Big Bear Lake is perfect. It’s a true snowy-weather getaway destination that doesn’t exist in too many places in Southern California.
