We have seen bears, deer, coyotes, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, and so many different birds around the cabin. Bring some seed and fill up the feeder on the back deck, then sit back and wait to see all the critters that come! Our daughter has even had the Nuthatches eat seeds right out of her hand

Bear Haven is our second home and we have made it a comfortable, warm, and inviting place for all of our family to gather.

Personal touches like hand made furniture, hand made quilt wall hangings, paintings by local artists, taxidermy, old photos showing Big Bear history decorate the cabin.
