Fire & Ice

Fire & Ice: California

This luxurious lodge is located just minutes from Big Bear Lake and the ski slopes of Snow Summit, offering guests the opportunity to reconnect with nature. Whether hiking and biking your way along nearby trails over the summer months or sliding down perfectly groomed pistes throughout the winter and early spring, this cosy cabin has it all.

While its timber construction may lend it a rustic aesthetic, the inside is anything but. With elegant mid-century furniture, carefully curated artwork and eye-catching statement walls, this mountain home offers a contemporary take on cabin chic.

Sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light throughout the year, offering easy access to the outdoor terrace for your morning coffee or evening hot tub soaking session with the unmistakable scent of pine trees in the air.

A vast main bedroom with a luxurious en-suite bathroom guarantees a great night's sleep, while the other two bedrooms aren't lacking in charm, with quirky artwork and plenty of storage space.

Down the road, you'll find Big Bear Snow Play – home of the famous Alpine Slide tubing hill – while the lifts up Big Bear and Snow Summit mountains are just a short drive away. And it's not just winter sports on offer – Snow Summit is home to an adrenaline-pumping bike park with over sixty miles of cross-country trails. Plus, there are plenty of alternative activities for outdoor enthusiasts, including a climbing wall, zip line and some of the best hiking trails in the San Bernardino National Forest.
