Steve Olejnik at Snow Creek
A Driver’s Retreat: @thattanwillys Finds His Perfect Mountain Basecamp at Snow Creek
Up here in Big Bear, we know there are two parts to any great mountain trip: the journey and the destination. The journey is that awesome feeling you get as you leave the city in the rearview, cruising the winding roads up the mountain with the pines getting taller and the air getting fresher. The destination? That’s the moment you park, drop your bags, and finally breathe it all in.
Few people get the “journey” part better than Steve Olejnik, the man behind the lens and the wheel at @thattanwillys. If you follow his adventures, you know Steve has an eye for capturing the soul of the open road and the spirit of a classic ride. He’s all about finding those spots that feel both rugged and relaxing, the kind of places that are a perfect reward after a scenic drive.

“Snow Creek gave me the perfect space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect. This is the kind of peace you don’t realize you needed until you’re here.”

So, when we had the chance to host Steve, we knew we had to find him a cabin that matched his vibe. It needed to be a place that felt like a true mountain basecamp. A spot to park that cool Willys, kick back, and soak up the views. The perfect fit? Presenting Snow Creek – Big Bear vacation rental for the ultimate mountain traveler.
Tucked away in the trees, Snow Creek is the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. It’s not about fussy luxury; it’s about authentic mountain comfort. For a creator like Steve, it was the ultimate canvas.
Imagine waking up, grabbing a coffee, and stepping out onto that spacious deck. The sun is just starting to hit the tops of the pines, the air is crisp, and the only sound is the breeze. That’s the Big Bear reset. Inside, the huge view windows make you feel like you’re living right in the middle of the forest, even when you’re just chilling on the couch.

After a day of exploring the Big Bear backroads or hitting the lake, Snow Creek was Steve’s perfect spot to unwind. The open-concept living area is great for sorting through the day's photos, and what better way to end a day of adventure than a long soak in the private hot tub under a sky full of stars?
