Family retreat, soul sanctuary, remote office, outdoor playground and adventure camp
In Summer of 2020 we, a family of four from Southern California, bought the O’Bear-ge cabin (name originates from a sign we found at the cabin) in Bear Valley, CA. Since then it has become a passion project and sanctuary for us. Whether it’s summer, fall, winter or spring, this amazing place in the California High Sierras can be whatever one wants it to be. Time is easily spent there, whether it’s for a weekend, a week or months at a time. Being active with any outdoor activity imaginable, working remotely or a combination of both we found this place to be simply magical.
