Big Bear subject to Governor’s order

Can I get a refund without Penalty?   Yes no problem,  if you are an AIRBNB booking just initiate a cancellation and we approve it.

The Governor’s new order builds on previous State orders, and it can be difficult to determine exactly how it applies in Big Bear.

• vacation rentals may be occupied, but only by members of the same immediate household.
• City may choose to audit homes if more than 2 cars are at property and issue a $250.00 fine for more than 2 cars.  If the city evicts a portion of your group,  we can not refund any money to you.  If the city evicts you,  it is a $1,000 fine.  Hundreds of bookings have received the parking more than 2 cars just this week by the city.
• interacting with others who are not part of your immediate household is prohibited, unless you are participating in the permitted activities outlined in the Governor’s new order (and indicated below), AND you implement appropriate face covering, physical distancing, and personal hygiene practices.
• We highly recommend each household brings everything they need, the grocery stores will only allow 20% entry patrolled by sheriff.  One can expect very long wait times just for entry.
• individuals are not prohibited from moving around the community, as long as they are traveling to or from or participating in the permitted activities outlined below.
• Evictions will occur immediately if there is excessive noise, misbehavior, or disruption of the neighborhood.
  As always, Treat the neighborhoods with respect.  We want our Big Bear Residents to be respected by our Visitors.

• all retail stores may remain open, but are limited to 20% capacity (including grocery stores) and must have an employee stationed at the entrance to ensure that entry is limited,  Vacation Rentals should bring everything they need rather than visiting the grocery stores.
