    Spend the long weekend here with my friends. The moment we walked through the door we were in absolute amazement. The place was beautiful, spacious, great views. I complemented the entire weekend from everyone on what a great place I was able to find, and at what a great price! If you're renting this with friends, stake your claim on the Master Suite. Its up a private staircase, a circular tower with a gas fireplace, private balcony and bath, and just enormous. A great value, and we will definitely be staying here next time!

    Pros: Good Size Cabin Roomy and Comfortable Driveway Close to The Lake Quiet Good Neighbors Cons: EVEN THOUGH ON THE CONTRACT YOU WILL BE PROVIDED A NETWORK USERNAME AND PASSWORD THE WIFI DOES NOT EXIST. Now days thats a big deal when you have 4-6 teenager and young adults who moan and whine for the entire stay because there is no internet. Tried to contact the owner regarding the issue, no response. There were some cobwebs in the main TV room, which it didn't bother me at all, its big bear, but again since its a large cabin and families are expected to stay, thats unacceptable.

    Owner response: Thank you for your review. However I do not agree with your comment regarding the WIFI, nor trying to reach me when you did have problems. The contact information given will reach me 24/7. I'm sorry you were unable to get on our WIFI. I wish you would've called me to resolve your problem. Take care.

    The house was much roomier than expected from the pictures! Which was a pleasant surprise. It was very comfortable with lots of nearby activities and views such as Boulder Bay Park. I came with a fairly large group but we all felt we had plenty of space and privacy. GREAT WEEKEND. Only thing was that we were charged extra for leaving a tiny amount of trash behind. Not a huge deal but was definitely a bummer. Really check the house before you leave. Other than all that, great house, awesome hot tub and spa and location. Hope I can come back soon!

    This a a great family vacation spot, even big enough for a couple families. When we weren't on the lake or hiking we had a wonderful stay in this cabin. The pool table was great!! It kept the kids occupied for hours. Another nice amenity was the sauna. We loved the sauna! Also the owner was very nice and accommodating.

    We had a great time in Big Bear and this rental was big enough to accommodate everyone with room to roam. I loved the fact that it felt like we were in a tree house! Great area, right across the street from the marina. Unfortunately this property is not kept up very well. I ended up cleaning the lights over the stove to avoid the dirt from getting into our food and wiping down all counters in the kitchen before we put any food there. The fridge and stove were clean though. Just no attention to detail by the professional cleaning crew. Cobwebs in the corners of the house and windows and ledges on the inside were filthy and lots were ripped. Furniture in living room is old and very uncomfortable. The bed in the master room is very uncomfortable and noisy. The rooms below the master bedroom hear the bed and every step you take up there. The couple who stayed in the lower room were very happy with the quite down there but again just lacking some fine tuning like night stands. It was a good experience and we still had a great time but would not rent this property again unless upgrades were made.

    Owner response: I'm so sorry to hear that you were not 100% happy with your stay. Thank you for your input. We will be looking into making some changes as our customer satisfaction is our number one concern. I wish you would've brought up some of your concerns with the property manager before there were any issues so we could have rectified them right away. I hope you will consider our property in the future. Our property management company is always available 24/7 for any of your needs. Thank you again!

    We had an amazing time!!! The cabin was large enough to hold our party and it still had enough space to just lounge around. Although we couldn't work the DVD player for the kids it was ok. The fridge wasn't working either but we did what we had too and our food didn't spoil. We had a great time would come back if the price was reasonable again.

    Owner response: I'm happy to hear you and your family had a great time. I'm sorry you had issues with the refrigerator. I wish you would have let us or the management company know. This has been a complaint from many travelers. The refrigerator is not actually broken it just takes time to cool off a lot of warm food. We have been recommending travelers to purchase food on the hill instead bringing it up in the heat, for freshness. I hope you do plan other family trip in the future. :) Happy Travels!

    We had a great time at this cabin with our family. There was much more room then we expected. Beautiful views from both the front and the back patios. The kids loved the hot tub, and the basketball hoop. There was plenty of room for the adults to relax and for the kids to play. The BBQ was perfectly located so the entire family could hang out. The price was great, especially in the prime of summer. We will absolutely be back again and recommend this to our friends! Great family place and a great time.

    My family and I enjoyed our time at this large cabin. It was very family friendly, and large enough for all of us. We enjoyed playing pool, and gathering around the large family room. We also liked the jacuzzi and the patio area. There is patio in the front and back. Our kids liked the basketball area, and we were able to watch them from the patio. We also made great use of the BBQ, and back patio. We were walking distance to the lake, and with all the trees around the scenery was fantastic. This is large enough for more then one family. The Owners where responsive and assured our stay was comfortable. See you again next year.

    The location and cabin layout was pretty cool. Unfortunately, that was the only good part. After we arrived, my mother sat at the dining table and nearly fell to the floor because the chair was broken. After further inspection, we noticed that every chair at the dining table was broken. The suana did NOT work at all. Nor did the big screen TV or some of the remote controls in the bedrooms. The dishes were not clean at all, cups with lipstick marks, pots and pans with crusty substances stuck to them, not to mention the cob webs and just overall lack of clenliness which doesnt make sense because they are suppose to have a cleaning crew that you pay for after your departure. When we called the property manager and the cabin owner about the problems, they did say that they would send a handy man and cleaning crew out to take care of everything IF WE STAYED AT THE CABIN AND WAITED FOR THEM. Not sure about you, but when I spend the money to rent a cabin and enjoy the lake and mountain, I do not want to be stuck in the cabin waiting for service people. A real disapointment seeing as how some of our party drove over 8 hours to get there. Still no further responce from the property owner.

    Owner response: First off I want to apologize for not responding sooner. Regretfully, I had an employee following up on our customer concerns and our non-response was just brought to my attention. I hope you do decide to come back and visit our cabin, if so please contact me, and I will definitely work with you. Since your stay we have personally inspected our cabin because we were very disappointed that your stay was not everything you expected. We did find that one of the chairs was wobbly and fixed it. As for the cleanliness, we have put in a call to our property management company who has always been great and gone beyond our and our customer’s needs. I do recall the issue with the sauna and our management company. I remember you not being comfortable with the technician coming to service the cabin while your party was not there because your personal belonging were in the cabin, which is very understandable but it left our hands tied to service the sauna. I hope we can work together in the future and make your next trip a much better experience.

    I was lucky to find such a great place with such cool owners! My booked a weekend for my family and some friends to goto Big Bear and am I glad I found this place! Not only did it have WAY more room than expected, it was priced very reasonably for this type of rental on a holiday weekend. There was a minor plumbing issue at the cabin and the owner came up him self to fix it! Turns out he is a plumber and a super nice guy, he drove almost 3 hours to take care of it...thanks again!! The location can't be beat its close to everything. My friends and family had our best trip to Big Bear yet. If you are looking for a great spot to stay with plenty of room and extras, this is the place for you!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was perfect for 8 of us and definitely fit more people comfortably. Loved the spacious master bedroom. Pool table and hot tub kept us entertained that we didn't feel a need to stay out late at the Oktoberfest. The property is on a great location that the house literally stood in the middle of the woods for a great walk in the morning, and being so close to the marina for a fishing trip at the lake. We would definitely rent this house again may be in the snow season for a snowboarding trip to the Bear Mountain. This trip definitely encouraged most our friends to come back for more.

    We would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone! The property was accurately described in the listing and was very clean and well taken care of. The owners were very easy to work with and easy to communicate with. The home is very spacious with lots of different areas for groups of people doing different activities. This home is located in a nice area of Big Bear Lake with plenty of parking. It has a very open floor plan and wonderful large glass windows(more like walls) for that feeling of being outdoors even while indoors. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back! There were 13 of us and we had plenty of room.We have rented in Big Bear for many years and this is one of the nicest homes we have rented and the owners are fabulous! Loved the jacuzzi!

    Our first family vacation with the extended family and Everyone loved the cabin and location. The cabin is well maintained, spacious, and located just across the street from the lake. Our mistake, we drove to other locations before discovering that the marina across from us had all the same water activities and more (i.e. tubing - the only other location lost their license). Definitely a great experience, from booking with the owners all the way through our stay of 4 nights and 5 days! Side note - there is a 99cent store right next to Vons - they have everything you need if you forget anything (helps the pocket book)

    We enjoyed our stay at the house over 4th of July week. The property was just as described and location was convenient. Close to a marina with plenty of boat rental options and only a short drive into the downtown area. The owner was very responsive and ensured the keys were available at the property manager location since we were arriving on a holiday. The house was very spacious - we had 6 adults and 3 kids and didn't feel cramped whatsoever. We utilized the spa and sauna and all amenities were included (towels, sheets, dishes, etc.). Areas that could have been improved: * Beds: There were plenty of beds to fit our party but the comfort level of the beds was not ideal. Our bed squeaked very loudly whenever anybody moved around and was not comfortable (very hard mattress). Other people in our group also complained a bit about comfort issues. * Furniture/Carpet: Couches, chairs, and carpet were all showing their age. Shag carpet was not filthy but also not super clean. We found stains, food, etc. in some parts of the rug and the couches were old and a bit musty smelling. * Ants: Lot of ants around the outside of the property and found quite a few inside. Made it challenging to eat outside on picnic tables. Overall, the house was good, not great. We did enjoy our stay and would recommend the property at the right price. If you are looking for space, location and amenities, I would suggest this property. If you are looking for an upscale, spotless, "fancy" type of property, you may be disappointed.

    THIS CABIN IS ONE OF THE BEST CABINS I HAVE STAYED AT FOR THE PRICE. IT IS EXTREMELY SPACIOUS AND HAS EVERYTHING TO ACCOMODATE YOUR NEEDS. ALTHOUGH WE WENT DURING A RAIN STORM AND WE WERE FORCED TO STAY INSIDE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, ALL 11 OF US DID NOT FEEL AT ALL CRAMPED OR UNCOMFORTABLE STAYING INSIDE THE CABIN. IT WAS VERY COZY AND THE SAUNA WAS A SUPERB BONUS! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE STAYING AT THIS CABIN AGAIN AND HOPEFULLY THIS TIME THERE WILL BE LOTS OF SNOW! THANKS AGAIN TO THE PROPERTY MANAGERS FOR A WONDERFUL STAY.

    I came up there with a group of friends for Oktoberfest and weekend getaway, and everyone LOVED THE CABIN!! This is a lovely home in excellent condition, comfortable, and spacious. The house is as beautiful as the photos and very comfortable to stay in. It was the main highlight of the trip--in short, the whole house was AMAZING!!! We had no problems with the property whatsoever, and the owner was a pleasure to work with. If you rent this place, you will definitely not be disappointed. Already planning next year’s getaway weekend!

    This place is incredible and able to comfortably accommodate large groups. I like to cook and this kitchen was well stocked and fun to cook and prepare meals in. The kitchen looks out to the pool table which made everyone feel like we were in the same room. The decks (front and back) are large and relaxing, shaded by the nearby pine trees. The grill is huge and cooks a mean steak. I would definitely recommend this place for a guys weekend.

    We had three families and the home comfortably accommodated all of us. The pool table provided endless hours of fun. The location is also great, directly across the street (and within walking distance) of Pleasure Point Marina. We originally booked for 4 nights, but ended up calling the owner and extending our stay an extra night, which was no problem and hassle free. The only two things I would recommend is having larger towels in the bathrooms, the one's provided were very small, and also having the carpets shampooed. Overall our stay was excellent and I would recommend staying here.

    Very spacious, very fun house. Clean, nice appliances, great location. The management company was very responsive when the hot tub turned up green. Very good value... a lot of house for the money. My only complaint... lots and lots of outdoor deck, but no seating. Consider bringing your own folding chair or lounge. We'll rent this one again.
