Perfect little cabin for family weekend getaway

We had some family members visiting from England and they really wanted to go skiing at Big Bear during their stay with us in Santa Monica. We decided on this super sweet little cabin with the large covered patio/deck. This place was perfect for us. We had 60 yo grandmother, my hubs & I, our two little kids and my husbands brother. We all fit perfectly in the two rooms and even fit our oversized pack-n-play in the room with the bunk bed set up. The bunk beds are BIG and there's even a trundle bed under the bottom bunk. My MIL said the bunk bed was super comfortable-she slept like a rock after almost 24 hrs of travel to get to LA from London. She and I spent majority of the time in the cabin because I have a 5 month old that needed to stay in from the cold most of the time. I was nervous that it would be too small w/ 2 cooks in the kitchen but it was great. She and I cooked a ton of food and found it easy to move around and prepare with all the pots & pans and large oven. The hardwood floors were lovely underfoot and when you did need more space we just stepped out onto the massive deck overlooking the street and some gorgeous pine trees. The best moment was soaking in the hot tub with my husband while everyone else was napping. We had a glass of wine and just looked out at the sky and the beautiful trees with the steam from the hot tub all around us...such a memorable moment! At night we also fired up the grill and found it to be set up for ease of use. Some sat in the hot tub while we took turns rotating the meat and skewers of veggies. We defintiely want to come back when our kids get older. This cabin is at the end of a very quiet cul de sac so you can let your kiddos play in the circle while you watch them from the deck above. It's also convenient to everything but tucked away just enough for us to get that sense of really getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life in SM.

Perfect Getaway

We stayed during the New Years (12/29-01/01) and the accommodations were absolutely perfect! Our group was focused on three things: the cost of the rental (especially during holiday seasons), pets allowed and a hot tub and we were able to get it all. The cabin exceeded our expectations by being clean, cozy and comfortable. There were no issues with the cabin and it was also close to stores and Big Bear Mountain for our snowboarding trip. The hot tub was AMAZING!! Travis, the owner, was quick in responding to questions. We wanted a low key, relaxing trip for the New Years and it couldn't have gone any better. Thank you so much, this place deserves 5 stars.

Upon seeing the photos (and price), I told my girlfriend as we booked the cabin that if it's half as good as it looks, I'll be thrilled. I'm pleased to say we definitely were not disappointed. The house had everything Rachel, our ten-month-old son, dog and I were hoping for and more - quiet, private, just a stone's-throw from town. Plus an amazing deck, hot-tub, and grill. The place has all the amenities promised, was super-clean, and the 2 times I had to call Travis with questions he got back to us immediately. We've stayed in Big Bear 4 times in the past 15 months, and this place is hands-down the best. We will definitely be back.... unless we buy a place up there!

Owner response: Wow, that's the kind of response we like to read! We've put a lot of work into it, and we really LOVE IT when our renters are happy. I can't wait to hear more about your business (SemiHandmade right?) Those custom cabinet doors look beautiful on your website. Remember all of our return renters get a discount of 10% on all non-holiday stays. Just send us an email and let us know when you want to come back up. And keep me posted on the house hunt, sounds like we may be neighbors soon, hope so!

My wife and I just checked out of this place and the experience was excellent! The cabin is small but perfect for two-four people, or in our case two and two dogs. It is well kept, clean and in a perfect location in Big Bear. Nothing you may need is farther than 1 mile driving distance including grocery stores, pharmacy or restaurants. The owners are even nice enough to recommend a few places and the two we tried were great (Grizzly Manor Cafe and Hacienda Mexican). The deck and jacuzzi are a perfect addition and are great to lounge in after a day on the lake or exploring the town. It is a huge plus that the road is not a through street, therefore, traffic is not an issue at all. They provide extra blankets and pillows in case you need them and the living room has a ceiling fan, which definitely comes in handy. I do recommend bringing a small floor fan for the bedroom(s) as it did get a little warm sometimes. All rooms have a t.v. with cable and some have DVD players. The deck has rocking chairs, a bench and two tables good for eating, playing games or just enjoy the view. Overall, our experience was great and would definitely do it again or recommend this place to our friends.

Owner response: Thanks again for choosing our little home away from home for your stay in Big Bear Lake. Just wanted to let you know that we offer all of our return renters a 10% discount on all non-holiday stays. Just give us a call, or send us and email and we can get it set up for you. We also have some other cabins now that you might want to check out. Hope to have you back again soon!

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights in Aug with our 4 teenagers. I have to admit I am a little snobby, I didnt want a "traditional cabin" with dark carpet and wood paneling and stuffed animal heads mounted on the walls. I wanted a contemporary place that was similar to my decor at home. When I found the photos on line, I was skeptical because the price seemed too good to be true. The cabin was perfect, just enough room for the 6 of us plus our 2 dogs. There were plenty of extra linens and pillows to keep us warm and comfortable. We spent the majority of the time at the cabin out on the deck, either grilling, using the hot tub or playing games. There was enough furniture on the deck for 10-12 people, and the view was spectacular. It is very private and quiet as the house is at the end of a cul-de-sac. On prior vacations, we always stayed at a hotel and would practically jump out of bed in the morning to get out of there because we were all on top of each other. Although we had a great time on the lake and exploring all the family activities Big Bear has to offer, we could have stayed at the cabin for the whole week and had an amazing time. I would absolutely recommend this cabin. Thanks for your hospitality Travis, we loved your place and hope to stay again soon!! Matt and Rhonda Andrews, Las Vegas, NV

Owner response: Matt and Rhonda, thank you for your kindness. This is why we do this, we feel blessed to have a great place up in the mountains and every time we can share a little bit of that with another family it makes us feel great. Make sure and let us know when you want to come back so we can give you the Return Renter discount of 10%. Stay cool in Vegas!

Run from this Place - Run like the wind

Guest sal

Review Submitted 08/01/11

We've stayed at many all over the nation and never had a problem, but this was the worst nightmare ever. The place is run down, weeds and a hose (careful not to trip) across the steps to the door. There were 6 bicycles parked next door in our shared driveway and plenty of noisy kids to go with them. Worst of all, Saturday morning at 8am, construction started for 2 hours. When I called the owner, he suggested I "drive around and find where it's coming from!" We left to go hiking and the owner called later to say there was "Nothing he could do." Since some items in the house didn't work, also there was NO remote for the TV, I asked if we could just pay for the night we stayed and leave, and he said "it was not his responsibility for what happened." We came home to more construction, and when I called the owner again and begged that we could get out of our contract and pay for 2 days now, he said he would offer us a "free night on our next stay when we ever returned"??? Now, I ask you, why would we ever want to relive such a horrendous experience? He all but ruined our vacation with his lack of caring. If you don't take my warning, be sure and take out the insurance so you can get out when the owner won't help you.

Owner response: THIS IS JUST WRONG, AND A IT'S A SHAME THAT HOMEAWAY ALLOWS LIES TO BE PERMANENTLY POSTED ON THESE BOARDS. Fernando: My apologies for not having the mountain side freshly trimmed, the mountain side grows when it wants to and we typically only cut it twice a year, with the extra rain it grew more quickly this year. It's looking great now. I'm sorry, but our place is not run down. We just recently remodeled this place, and from the 60 other reviews that say how nice and cute this place is, I would disagree with you as well. EVERYTHING in our house works, and the TV remotes are there, you could have called me if you could not find them, I just used them. TO EVERYONE ELSE READING THIS: It's amazing to me how people decide to trash us when they do not get free stuff. There was no construction going on, I had my property manager personally drive out to scout out the noise AFTER I CALLED TO THE CITY to find out what may be causing the noise. It turned out to be a weed-trimmer two houses down. So people are not allowed to trim their grass? It lasted for maybe one hour and was well within the sound regulations of Big Bear Lake. Also, this cabin is in a neighborhood, so people on our street may have kids riding bikes, watch out!?? I could immediately tell these people just wanted free nights for something that was completely out of my control and completely normal for any cabin rental, but I still gave in and offered them a free night on a future stay, and this is the thanks I get for that. Please know that we try our best to offer you a great deal on a nice place to stay, and we have great relationships with 99.99% of all of our renters... but please do not try and take advantage of us like this, and then trash us on our board if you don't get exactly what you want.

Nice Relaxing Weekend Getaway

My husband and pooch and I enjoyed staying at the Hillside Hideaway this Memorial Day Weekend. We hiked and went to the lake during the day and then snuggled up and watched movies on the couch or relaxed in the hot tub on the deck at night. The deck is perfect for grilling and sitting outside in nice weather. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star rating is because the bathroom really needs to be re-caulked, there is mildew around the tub. Other than that little annoyance, it's an adorable cabin and looks just like the pictures!

Mixed feelings about this one.....

Guest Family Travelers
Date of stay 08/25/10
Review Submitted 09/03/10

The pictures are accurate and it is newly upgraded. I was very surprised that no one else mentioned the horribly uncomfortable bed and sofa. We stayed 3 nights and the 2nd night laying there in the bed we nicknamed "hay bail" I deliberated sleeping on the couch. The slipcover is new and nice but the sofa is very uncomfortable and the "bricks" aka cushions have difficulty staying on so this was not a great option either. Also not mentioned was the trek up the stairs - those in the picture are the method of getting your stuff and yourself in and out so pack light. It is a clean cabin and as pictured - I just wanted to share what I had wished others had so that I could be prepared for not so great nights sleep.

Owner response: We appreciate "honest" reviews, but in this case I feel like I should respond. To the renter: We're sorry we could not extend your stay another night like you asked for, but it's not always possible, this cabin rents frequently. We're also sorry that you had to cancel the plans that you had made before getting confirmation from us that you could in fact stay another night. I have to say I'm surprised to hear these comments after you said how great the place was when you asked to stay another night? To everyone else reading this review: I hope you might find the previous 52 reviews more helpful to get an accurate picture of what our place is really like. We would love to have you as a future guest.

My friends and I stayed a couple of nights when the Tour of California came to Big Bear. It was very nice and comfortable. The setting is fairly private.The big wrap around porch is a great place to relax. The hot tub was a real plus. The bunk beds are probably better left to children. There is a fairly long set of stairs up the house, But that's to be expected because it is on a hillside. I would stay there again.

The Cabin at the top of the stairs

The cabin was very warm and homey from the minute you walked in. There was everything there necessary to have a wonderful time with family. Nothing extravagant but all the necessities. The wrap around porch provided an amazing view of the surrounding area that was quite beautiful. The cabin is located close to skiing, shopping and groceries if needed, yet far enough up the hill to feel private and serene. We had a wonderful time and wouldn't think twice about visiting again.

We had the best time in Big Bear. The snow was fabulaous and the accomodations were perfect. After a hard day of skiing it was wonderful to relax in the large jacuzzi. The house is small but perfectly appointed. Our girls had a great time sledding right our the front door. We really appreciate that we we were able to bring our Bichon dog, who also LOVED the snow. The house is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, and very private. Travis was wonderful to work with. We will definately be making a return visit to the Hillside Hideway...perhaps in thte summer.

My husband and I wanted a little getaway for Valentine's Day but didn't want to go too far away. This cabin was awesome for us, and they welcome dogs which was definitely a plus! The hot tub was the best part of the trip, nothing like relaxing in the spa with a glass of wine surrounded by snow! We will definitely be coming back in the summertime to do some fishing and hiking!

My fiance and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin for a romantic Valentine's getaway. The cabin in tastefully decorated and stocked well with everything needed for our stay. We loved the fireplace in the living room and the big sectional couch surrounding it (so cozy). The neighborhood looked like a Kinkaid painting after it had snowed overnite. We especially loved the jacuzzi hot tub on the wraparound patio. Can't wait for our next trip!

The place is nicely modernized with an updated kitchen and tvs! Although it was freezing outside and snowing, the fireplace and heater proved to be so effiecent in warming us up, we had to vent the place! The hot tub and other small touches were really nice. The knob fell of the oven, while cooking our thanksgiving dinner, and after a quick call to the owner had someone there within the hour to help us fix it! The location is perfect. We will defiantely revisit Big Bear and hope to get a reservation here again!

Excellent rental, great deal. I recently stayed for a week and had an awesome time. Very quiet neighborhood, tucked away but minutes from all amenities. Travis, the owner, is friendly, professional and very attentive. It was everything I wanted a mountain cabin to be - cozy, quiet and comfortable. The jacuzzi is a huge plus! I highly recommend it.

Thanks so much! The cabin was absolutely amazing! You were so great with all of my questions and always answered quickly to all emails. The cabin was so cute and comfy and the fireplace and hot tub made for a great snow trip.. Everyone couldnt believe how close the cabin was to the slopes and all of big bear! What a great place we will be back soon!

This was so convenient and very close to restaurants, grocery and skiing. We really had a great time here, it was so quiet and the hot tub was great!! Had all of the supplies needed to cook and the sheets, blankets and pillows were so cozy. We were all very comfortable and it felt like home!! The board games available were a nice touch too!! Would definitely come back again. Received our deposit back very quickly too. Thanks!!

This cabin is very clean and cozy. It is a short drive to just about everything. The owner is very easy to work with. I would rent this cabin again.

The cabin couldn't have been cozier, cleaner, or more comfortable! All the needed amenities plus some were provided for -- from the deluxe entertainment center to the hottub to board games to the inviting fireplace. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking gear. The beds and linens were perfectly blissful. Even the location was fantasticly close to everything -- skiing, shopping, resturants/bars. You'd be hard pressed to find a better deal in Big Bear than the "Hillside Hideaway"!
