About The Space
Welcome to The Big Blue Cabin at Bear Creek Lakes
Your perfect mountain escape is here. Nestled in the heart of Bear Creek Lakes, this beautifully appointed 3,400 sq ft retreat spans three levels and sleeps up to 14 guests in five thoughtfully designed bedrooms. Whether you're planning a family reunion, a friend's getaway, or a winter ski trip, The Big Blue Cabin has everything you need to relax, reconnect and recharge.
The Great Room
The heart of the cabin is our breathtaking great room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame stunning natural views that blur the line between indoors and out. Sink into the oversized L-shaped sofa or one of four armchairs, gather around the high-top table for games, and let the warmth of the gas fireplace set the perfect evening mood. A 65" Samsung Smart TV completes this inviting space.
A Second Living Area for Everyone
Need more room to spread out? Our second living area features a sectional sofa with recliners, another Smart TV, and an octagon card table perfect for board games like Monopoly, Scrabble and chess — guaranteed fun for all ages.
Game Room & Entertainment
The fun never stops in our first-floor entertainment room! Challenge each other to foosball, shoot a game of billiards, tickle the ivories on the piano, or mix drinks at the bar area. With a Smart TV and plenty of seating, this is the ultimate space for game nights and evening hangouts.

8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
Really nice home, and it worked very well for our large group, but on arrival in 0F weather, there was no running water for several hours due to a frozen well pump, as the door had somehow blown or been left open. Thankfully, the issue was fixed the same evening, but the house was not ready at check-in, and no adjustment was offered other than "sorry you can leave for a full refund." We were a party of fourteen with a lot of kids all of whom had traveled five-plus hours in three directions. The first response wasn't "We will make this right either by getting you a hotel or another place or getting this fixed."When we pushed back that we had all come from a long distance, our host subsequently and quickly said she would try to get ahold of and dispatch her handyman, which she quickly did. Perhaps she was as overwhelmed as we.He came and was able to heat gun the water pump back to functionality.Winter guests may want to confirm systems are checked before arrival.

My wife and I spent 2 nights at this wonderful place. It is a beautiful property with plenty of sleeping space , a great area for families to hang out with a great game room ( nice pool table and foosball and other stuff). We loved the cozy feel of the place , despite being very spacious. The place was very clean and comfortable and the owners communication was great. We would stay again any time . 5 stars! For sure.
