Here`s a few common questions and answers that will help you decide if Winding Retreat is a good fit for your mountain getaway.

Is the house a good place for children

We`ve had several families stay with us and they`ve found the Winding Retreat perfect for children. There`s a large entertaining space and plenty of privacy in the upstairs bedrooms.

Can we cook at The Winding Retreat

You`ll love the flexibility of being able to go out or stay in to cook. Our kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates, glassware, utensils. If you`re unsure about what we might have, ask us. The gas stove and oven has the ability to help you whip up a meal for 8 or a beautiful brunch. You`ll have no problem feeding the hungry bears.

We provide a coffeemaker, toaster, and microwave.

Should I bring linens or towels

Nobody wants to travel with their sheets and pillow cases. We provide linens for all beds, and we ensure EVERY piece of bedding is washed before your visit. We`ll also make sure there`s plenty of towels for everyone.

What`s the television/movie situation

TV is optional in Big Bear, but you won`t miss anything on our 55 inch HD T.V. It`s equipped with cable and streaming channels. There`s plenty to watch, if you want to.

What kind of experience can my pet expect

We love dogs and we understand how hard it can be to travel when you have to leave your furry friend or friends at home. As far as activities are concerned we`d recommend you check out some of the hiking trails around town. They`re sure to tire out even the most athletic pups. We do NOT allow cats.

If you`re interested in booking, but haven`t quite made up your mind contact us for more information.

    We booked this stay at the last minute over Thanksgiving and were immediately impressed by Robin’s exceptional customer service. I was torn between two of her properties, and she went above & beyond to help me weigh the pros and cons based on our needs. Once booked, she even allowed us to check in early, which was incredibly helpful since I was working remotely. The check-in process itself was seamless and easy.The home was wonderful. The couches and recliner were extremely comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed—and the oven deserves a special mention because I absolutely fell in love with it! Our dogs were in heaven with the enclosed deck right off the kitchen, which allowed them easy in-and-out access without any worry on our part. The fenced backyard, though on a hill, was perfect and such a must when traveling with our fur babies.I also want to highlight how well the upstairs bedrooms are set up. The master bedroom was spacious with a very comfortable king-sized bed, a lovely enclosed balcony, and an en suite bathroom. All of the bedrooms were generously sized and thoughtfully furnished with queen beds (w/exception of the two in the extended master), which was a pleasant surprise.The home is located in a friendly neighborhood right off BB Blvd and close to everything. While it was a large home for just the two of us and our pups, we enjoyed every bit of it. We truly had a fantastic stay and would absolutely return!
