Is there wildlife on the property?
Yes. Black bears move through the property, mule deer graze the meadow at dusk, coyotes call across the ridge at night, bobcats hunt the treeline, and mountain lions pass through. Big Bear is also home to a well-known pair of nesting bald eagles.
More detail
Guests store food indoors and keep a respectful distance. What people talk about afterward is usually the deer that showed up at breakfast.
