As more travelers look for stays that feel personal rather than corporate, Resort Town Rentals continues to stand out as one of Big Bear’s best alternatives to Airbnb. Competitive pricing, no surprise fees, and that “small town” level of customer service all come directly from owner Dionne Olsen, who manages each cabin with the kind of care you rarely find on major booking platforms. Guests get real communication, quick support, and a curated experience—whether they’re planning a winter ski trip, a holiday family gathering, or a last-minute mountain escape.
This week, we’re featuring MONTICELLO.
If you’re planning a friends’ ski trip or a family holiday getaway, Monticello should be on your Big Bear shortlist. This contemporary cabin sits less than a quarter mile from Snow Summit and just over a mile from Bear Mountain — meaning you can be on the slopes faster than it takes to make your morning cocoa. It’s also close to grocery stores, town, and Meadow Park, so everything you need is within a quick walk or a two-minute drive.
At 1,800 sq. ft. with three bedrooms and two full baths, Monticello sleeps nine comfortably, making it ideal for group trips where you actually want everyone to have their own space. The single-level layout gives it that easy holiday-home feel, but the amenities take it a step further: a modern kitchen with bar seating, an oversized sectional in the living room, multiple flat-screen TVs, and a wood-burning fireplace that was basically made for post-ski lounging.
But let’s be honest — the Game Room is the star. This is where the late-night tournaments, arcade battles, and “just one more round” moments happen. Full-size arcade games, foosball, a bar-top with wine fridge, a big flatscreen, board games, and heating for cozy winter nights — it’s the kind of setup that keeps the whole group entertained long after the lifts close.
Outside, the fenced backyard has everything you want after a day in the snow: a large hot tub, propane BBQ, patio table, and plenty of room for kids (or adults) to burn off extra energy. With level parking for three cars, WiFi, cable, five TVs, fresh linens, and professional cleaning prior to arrival, Monticello is fully turnkey for holiday season.
Whether you’re here for long ski weekends, snowboarding with the crew, or simply escaping with family to celebrate the season, Monticello checks every box — location, comfort, and nonstop fun.
