About me

We are Mark and Suzie and we met many years ago in high school. Suzie is a busy healthcare professional and Mark is a medic for the film studios in Hollywood. We have been going to Big Bear since we were young adults and absolutely love it there. Our children grew up going to the mountains and now our grand daughter is experiencing the joy of being in the mountains. We love the peacefulness and the wildlife that surrounds our mountain home. There is nothing like the family gathered for a summer's barbecue or being together by the fireplace, playing board games on a winter's night. Big Bear is all about making family memories.

Spring into Fun

Spring into Fun

As this winter is drawing to a close and spring is nearing, thoughts of gliding down the snowy slopes of our beloved mountain turn to warmer activities. One of those activities that we have done a few times is Zip Lining. Action Tours of Big Bear offers a great afternoon of flying through the trees while dangling from a strap on a steel cable. Sounds exciting, daring, and exhilarating, and it is!. My son and I have raced down the mountain with the fresh mountain air rushing by

Be smart and be safe when coming up the mountain

Be smart and be safe when coming up the mountain

Traffic conditions vary throughout the year and it is important to heed signage and directions from Caltrans and the CHP. In the winter you are required to carry chains at all times in your vehicle. This is not only a smart thing to do, but if you come across a chain check point and do not have chains with you CHP will not let you continue.This can greatly impact your travels and enjoyment of your time in the mountains.

Massages in Big Bear, CA

Massages in Big Bear, CA

We love this place as Daniel has great hands and is highly skilled at many modalities. He comes to our cabin or will see you at his shoppe on Moonridge blvd. His prices are very reasonable and he does sports therapy. Daniel is a fixture at our mountain biking events on the mountain. He has a very zen aura to him. In the summer months Daniel will set up his table on our upper deck so we can have our massages in the shade of our trees and the fresh mountain air.

Our favorite coffee house in Big Bear, CA

Our favorite coffee house in Big Bear, CA

Moonridge Coffee House is by far our favorite coffee place on the mountain. They are just a quick drive down to lower Moonridge on the right hand side of Moonridge road. Get your coffee and sit by the fire in a log cabin setting. Great espresso, lattes, and locally made pasteries makes Moonridge Coffee Company our go to place. There are also a few Starbucks in town, one inside Vons, and a full store in the Vons parking lots.

Big Bear Alpine Zoo, Big Bear Lake, CA

Big Bear Alpine Zoo, Big Bear Lake, CA

This is a must see zoo. All the animals at the zoo are rescue animals that can no longer survive in the wild. All kinds of animals from bobcats, to birds, to grizzly bears, to snow leopards are on view. This zoo is amazing and personal to us at Bear Haven, There is a great horned owl there named Mason, we discovered him in our backyard one morning. A human had injured him, so we brought him to the zoo and they gave him care and a place to live out his life. Bear Haven Cabin has been a proud supporter of the zoo for many years now. Less than 10 minutes from Bear Haven.

The Oakside restaurant in Big Bear, CA

The Oakside restaurant in Big Bear, CA

We love this place! Especially in summer when we can dine on the front patio and listen to live music during the lunch and dinner hours. The food is great and the cocktails are even better. They have handcrafted unique cocktails, one of my favorites is called "Swinging from the Pines". It is a whisky blueberry concoction that is fabulous and strong. I have had the American Wagyu sliders and Suzie likes the street tacos. Your diet will not be happy if you order the mac n cheese tater tots, but your tummy will love you! Reservation are a must for weekend dinners.
