The master bedroom has a ceiling fan and there are portable electric fans in the closets.

*****From the City of Big Bear Lake****:
“NO PARTIES ALLOWED. The City and Sheriff will issue citations and evict guests who disturb the neighborhood with noise, bring too many cars, or exceed the occupancy limits. Refunds will not be granted if you are evicted.”

CHECK IN:
Check-In time is 4pm and Check-Out time is 10AM.
Guests who do not vacate the property by Check-Out time may be subject to additional charges at the rate of $50 per hour, which will be deducted from the security deposit.

CANCELLATION PLOICY:
No cancellations/refunds due to weather unless all 3 highways in and out of Big Bear are closed for the entire day. If a last minute cancellation is granted, an alternate future date at the same pice point as the original reservation will be allowed to be rebooked. If the future date has a more expensive nightly rate, the guest must pay the difference in rate if choosing to re-book the more expensive dates.

OCCUPANCY:
The City of Big Bear has mandated a maximum occupancy of 4 people for this cabin. Renters with more than 4 guests will be subject to an additional fee of $100 per person per night and may be asked to vacate the property.

Animals/Pets:
This is a no pet household due to severe allergy concerns of the host. Pets/Animals are not allowed anywhere on or inside the premises.
Service animals and emotional support animals are unfortunately not allowed. Please respect my medical condition when booking. There is no shortage of rentals in Big Bear that allow animals. If you are caught with a pet on the premises, you will forfeit your entire security deposit and you will be asked to vacate the property.

EXTERIOR FIRE PIT:
Guests have access to the firepit on the back patio. It runs off of natural gas and requires a “key” to start the flow of gas. The long silver “key” is hanging on the coat rack by the “SMART” door.
Directions:
-Uncover fire pit.
-Insert key into hole on the bottom of the fire pit and turn counterclockwise SLOWLY. You will hear the gas start to flow. Please do not turn the key all the way. A ¼ turn is more than enough gas to get the fire started.
-Once gas is flowing, use a long match (located by the indoor fireplace) to ignite the flame. Light immediately after gas starts flowing!
-When finished using the firepit, make sure to use the key to turn off the gas or it will run indefinitely. -Let cool and replace cover before vacating premises.
-Return the key to its hanging hook inside on the coat rack when finished. Please note that there will be a $50 fee for a lost fireplace key. There will also be a $50 fee if the gas has been left on and running. Lastly, do not attempt to BURN firewood or anything else in the fire pit. There will be a $50 cleaning fee if anything is found in the firepit.

INTERIOR FIREPLACE:
The chalet comes with a wood burning fireplace for your enjoyment. To operate the fireplace simply put in the wood and light it. The chimney vent is open and there is no need for you to adjust it. Please utilize the firescreen when operating the fireplace to keep ash and embers out of the living room area. Please leave all ash in the fireplace when vacating the premises; the cleaning staff will properly dispose of it.
-Firewood can be purchased from the local grocery store (Vons) or hardware store (DIY - Home Store) in town. If you need firewood delivered please text me for more information on delivery options (305) 609-7883

HEATING INSTRUCTIONS:
The wall heater is located by the front door and does a great job of warming the entire house. There are no vents in the bedrooms, so rooms will stay warmer if you leave the doors to the hallway open. Please turn down wall heater when you are out. When vacating at the end of your stay, please set the thermostat to 55 degrees.
***There is no air conditioning in the chalet!***

FANS:
Please turn the bathroom fan on while taking a shower and let it run until de-steamed fully. Please make sure to turn off bedroom ceiling fan when out. Portable electric fans are available for use and stored in the closet.

SINKS:
There is no garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. Please use the drain guard and do not place any excess food down the drain or it will clog. Empty drain guard in trash when full so water does not back up in the sink.

LAUNDRY:
Laundry instructions are posted on the washing machine. Detergent and fabric softening sheets are available for your use (under the kitchen sink). Please do not overload machines. Please leave any used sheets and towels on the floor upon departure and the cleaning staff will attend to them. If you do not use all the beds in the house, please leave them fully made up so the staff knows not to launder them.

SECURITY:
There is a security camera mounted over the side door by the driveway for safety purposes. It also serves to monitor the premises and keep track of the number of guests, and help enforce the no pet policy, etc.

SAFETY:
-First Aid kit is located under the bathroom sink.
-Fire extinguisher is located by the front door.
-Smoke detectors are located in each bedroom.
-Carbon Monoxide/Smoke detector is located in the hallway.

In heavy snow or inclement weather, it is recommended to take the back way up the mountain. You can take the I-10 East out of Los Angeles and link up with Highway 38 near Redlands, Ca. This will take you up and around the back side of the Mountain. You will enter Big Bear city from the East and drive through Big Bear city heading West into Big Bear Lake and the Moonridge area.
