Food scene
The best steak house in Big Bear is a 5 min walk from the house. No reservations, so walk down from the house and put your name on the wait list early! Can be a hour or more wait on a Saturday night, so nice to be able to wait in the comfort of home and have the group walk down when they buzz you.
