Our family enjoyed one of the escape room experiences and really enjoyed it! The challenges are interesting and fun and the staff is friendly. Would definitely recommend for family or group fun! Plus, this one is very close to the cabin... just a quick 1/3 mile walk: take a left on Edgemoor and then a left on Big Bear Blvd and you're pretty much there!

The original Dam Keepers House is a part of Big Bear Lake history. Although the stone cabin has crumbled over the years, it's a Big Bear point of interest and great photo opp. Although the paved road up to the house says 'private', you can drive up the road to the house or park across the street (near the lake) and then walk up the paved road to the house. BE CAREFUL and use caution crossing the busy Big Bear Blvd!!

The Eye of God, or Hatauva in Serrano, is a quartz dome megalith near Baldwin Lake. Because of its sacred history, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians request that hikers show respect when visiting the site.
The Eye of God hike is approximately 2 miles round trip along a moderately trafficked OHV trail, Burns Canyon Road. It requires just under 300 feet elevation gain and is suitable for kids and adults. If you prefer to drive, a four-wheel-drive vehicle can take you partially to the site. Those interested in extending their hike can hit a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail, which also extends from Burns Canyon Road.
To get to the trail, follow Baldwin Lake Road going east to Vale Drive. An Eye of God sign appears at the first left, and parking is available. Follow Burns Canyon Road part of the way uphill until you find a fence with lowered rail, as pictured. Follow the trail from there down to the Eye of God site.
Please note that we have not personally done this hike before.

BATTELLE FAMILY FAVORITE! Oakside Restaurant & Bar is one of the nicer restaurants in Big Bear. Nestled right in The Village, it offers a nice downstairs restaurant with inside & outside seating (reservations will likely be needed for this area). Service can be a little slow in the restaurant area but everything else is great. Our favorite area is the bar upstairs where you can order from the full menu. It's a bit more casual atmosphere with bar seating, lounge seating and a small outside deck where you can sit and people watch or listen to the music being played in the downstairs outside area. The upstairs area is first come, first served and open seating. You can often find live music on the weekends, especially during the Spring, Summer and Fall... both in the outdoor dining area and/or in the upstairs bar inside.

This restaurant is ‘Village Adjacent’ :) and within 1 mile of the cabin. Cute Italian-American casual atmosphere. Order at the counter and then take a seat. Usually busy. Pretty good pizza. Take-out available but no delivery.

BATTELLE FAMILY FAVORITE! Small restaurant in the heart of the Village with indoor and outdoor seating. Since it’s small and popular, there can be a wait on the weekends. Cute rock ‘n roll decor and themed menu. Burgers and beer are delicious! We’ve heard the salads are great too but c’mon… burgers!

Right in the heart of the Village. Although it’s a chain, we think this is the best ice cream in town.

If you need your morning coffee fix and want to avoid the lines at Starbucks, this is the closest coffee shop to the cabin. A quick drive or a 1 mile walk. They offer espresso drinks, regular coffee, tea, snacks and gifts. The ambiance and service is just so-so but the coffee is good and does the trick.

Drinks & Nightlife
Here are some recommendations to enjoy a drink and some nibbles with friends! Cool off after a day on the lake, or warm up after a day on the slopes.
Stop into Barrel 33 for all-things-wine in Big Bear! Located in the The Village. Stop in for a red or white wine flight: $25 for 6 tastes and you get to keep the wine glass. They also have a lot of bottles of wine to choose from as well as wine barrel furniture and wine knick-knacks for sale. Cute place! Very friendly service.

BATTELLE FAMILY FAVORITE! The Pines Restaurant recently took over management of the only lakeside bar in Big Bear Lake. They have a limited menu (and we think a bit pricey) but you can't beat the view. Inside you'll find live music on the weekends and cute lakeside vibe with places to sit and the bar and tables. There is also plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy during the warmer weather months. Typically a slightly 'older' 40+ crowd. 370 Alden Rd, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315

Big Bear Mountain Brewery is only a quick .5 mile away on Big Bear Blvd. It is under new management as of September 2019 and it's a big game changer... in a positive way! The owners are taking great pride in creating a welcome vibe with live music, events and welcoming locals and visitors alike. Lots of great beers on tap and they will start brewing their own soon. Small but yummy menu. Friendly owners who want to get to know you. So happy to see this place on the rebound!
