Nestled in a peaceful Big Bear neighborhood, Villa Grove offers the best of both worlds — tranquility and convenience. Guests love being minutes from Bear Mountain Resort, Snow Summit, and Big Bear Lake, while still tucked away on a quiet street surrounded by towering pines. The location makes it easy to explore Big Bear’s top attractions: visit the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, Discovery Center, or Village shops and restaurants — all within 5 miles. Outdoor lovers can hike the nearby Villa Grove Pebble Trailhead, rent boats or paddleboards at Big Bear Marina, or take in breathtaking views at Boulder Bay Park. In winter, enjoy world-class skiing and snowboarding just a short drive away, and in summer, take advantage of hiking, biking, fishing, and lake activities. After a day of adventure, unwind in your private hot tub or by the firepit as the mountain air cools. Families appreciate the cabin’s safe, walkable setting, proximity to grocery stores, and friendly community vibe. For dining, head to local favorites like Teddy Bear Restaurant, Murray’s Saloon, and Dank Donuts in the Village. Getting around is simple with ample parking on site, and all major attractions are within a short drive.
