Perfect Christmas!

Guest: Las Vegas Girlz (Las Vegas, NV)
Date of Stay: 12/23/11 Review Submitted: 01/04/12

Our family of 5 stayed at this cabin for the Christmas holiday, and it was perfect! Being from Las Vegas, we dont see much snow, so giving the girls a white Xmas this year was perfect. The beds were cozy, there was a great selection of movies, and a DVD player for redbox movies! The girls has a great time playing with all of the board games available and the fire made for some cozy nights/mornings! It was close to everything, and Bonnie was more then flexible and accommodating with the entire process. We strongly suggest anyone with a family staying here! Thank you again!

Owner response:I sure wish I had control over the weather, but I'm glad it turned out to be a white vacation for you and the girls! Thank you for such a glowing review and we hope to see you again! Happy New Year!

Last minute getaway to Halloween at Octoberfest

Guest: Ed (Inglewood, ca)
Date of Stay: 10/28/11 Review Submitted: 11/05/11

This was a last minute trip we planned. I made the arrangements thru one of the owners which was extremely helpful and forthcoming about details. The cabin was very inviting and the living room was a great meeting area the fire place was very cozy. All together the cabin was a good choice for our little get away. The location of this cabin is very close to the Octoberfest venue making easy to go back and forth.

Owner response:It was truly a pleasure making this booking for you, Edgar! It was a smooth transition, and you were so nice to deal with. We're happy you had a great time and we hope to hear from you soon.

Girl Scout Getaway

Guest: Laura (los angeles,ca)
Date of Stay: 06/25/11 Review Submitted: 06/29/11

We rented the cabin for our yearend Girl Scout trip. We had 5 teenage girls and 2 adults and had plenty of sleeping room. The girls were not sure what they where going to do when they found out that we did not have any TV, but they watched movies, played board games and had fun telling stories and alot of giggling. We went horseback riding, we went Zipling at Action Zipling, shopping at the Thrift Stores and the Village, we went to the movies,bowling and we went to Funzone. The cabin was close to all of the things we wanted to do. This is our last year since all of our girls will be bridging, so it was nice to have this great getaway.

Not just for "Sisterz!"

Guest: Bubba (Los Angeles, CA)
Date of Stay: 06/10/11 Review Submitted: 06/14/11

This place provided one of the most pleasurable and relaxing experiences I've ever had in big bear. All email communication was fast, clear, and super welcoming/friendly. The owners were very informative and helpful with anything and everything we asked for...which is not as common as it should be! The place has new carpet which was a big plus. Downstairs is very roomy and is bigger than the pictures suggest. We had 8 guys there and it was comfortable for all of us. The upstairs has 2 rooms with a total of 4 beds which were all comfortably spaced. The kitchen is very well equipped with tons of pots and pans to use if you're planning on cooking. The bbq in the back worked great on our NY Steaks and Hamburgers that we grilled up. The patio on the back was perfect for coffee in the morning, or a nice cold beer in the afternoon. Lastly, the location is great if you have anyone interested in visiting a park. It's walking distance to a softball field, basketball court, and I think tennis courts too! I've stayed in about a dozen different cabins. Most were decent, but this is the first cabin that I want to return to next year. It's not marble floors, jacuzzi's, and infinity swimming pools, but if you're looking for a great and cozy place for a week or weekend in big bear, then this is the place!

Owner response:Wow! You have described the cabin better than WE did! Thank you so much, Troy - for the kind words and for the business. We're sure to see you again, and look forward to it.

Fun Weekend At The Sisters Get Away

Guest: Diana (Long Beach,CA, USA)
Date of Stay: 03/25/11 Review Submitted: 04/08/11

I set up a weekend trip for myself my teenage sons, their friends and a group from church. We had 8 people. I was worried it would not be big enough or private for a group of people not related. It was perfect. The loft is private and much bigger than it looks.There is room to put down air mattress if some one does not want to share a bed. The skylights in the bedrooms give a nice touch to this spacious cabin. The washer and dryer are a big plus when kids come in with wet cloths.The owners are easy to get in contact with and fast return on the deposit check.

Owner response:Thank you so much, Diana! We appreciate the great review. We are glad it worked out well for all of you. We hope to hear from you again.

Fun Times

Date of Stay: 02/11/11 Review Submitted: 02/17/11

My family and I had a fun time staying in the "sisters getaway" cabin. We really enjoyed the fenced yard and park at the end of the street. The cabin had plenty of towels and blankets, and the sleeping arrangements were great. The owners were very accommodating and reachable. The skiing and village were only six miles away. If you have small children, bring a baby-gate for the spiral staircase.

Great getaway weekend

Date of Stay: 01/27/11 Review Submitted: 02/02/11

We were looking for a quick skiing getaway, to celebrate our sons 16th birthday, and were pleased with our stay at your cabin. It was an easy drive to and from Snow Summit, and we were able to enjoy a lovely home cooked meal while relaxing by the fireplace in the quiet neighborhood. Our son thought gazing at the stars through the skylight over his bed was cool. Thanks for the great weekend.

Owner response:We are thrilled that your son celebrated the right way - with skiing, stars and snow!! Come again any time!

Great location, very comfortable and cozy, almost like home away from home.

The location of this home is excellent. You can get everywhere in a short amount of time. The home is spacious and comfortable. Having two bathrooms and a washer/dryer are wonderful. The fireplace is really nice. Home matches vrbo description exactly. Very kid friendly but could be quaint and romantic too for one or two couples. I would definitely stay here again. Owner is super easy to communicate with and answers questions and concerns quickly. If you are visiting in the winter go to Big Bear Snow Play. It's really affordable and you can pack your own food. Thank you!

Owner response:Thank you for the kind words, and we agree that it's located in a perfect area - close to everything, yet away from some of the busy city! We're glad you enjoyed your stay - come again!

The best White Christmas

Guest: scrooge (Menifee, CA)
Date of Stay: 12/23/10 Review Submitted: 12/28/10

My family and I enjoyed staying at the sisterz cabin for our Christmas. We had a very relaxed fun time. Couldn't have asked for a more White Christmas for living in Cali... We were very lucky there was snow when we arrived and even luckier that it snowed Christmas eve. The cabin is in a beautiful quiet area in Sugarloaf not to far from the city/village. The backyard has an awesome view. We truly made ourselves at home, we baked, cooked and had a great time. Over all we were pleased with the accommodations. Perfect for a family of five, everyone had their own bed. I only wish they would allow pets. The cabin is fenced and perfect for small children or pets. A++

Owner response:We're so glad you got the snow you wished for! And we are so glad that your Christmas was enjoyable. We hope to hear from you again!

Spacious Cottage...easy access

Guest: stovar (Alhambra, CA)
Date of Stay: 12/03/10 Review Submitted: 12/09/10

We enjoyed our stay very much. What we needed : 1. Advance instructions on the fireplace ...such as bring wood and newspaper. 2. Basic tv channels would have been nice....we missed the Usc/ucla game. :) Also, the second bedroom is more of an open loft. It is very spacious, however.

Owner response:We're glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again. Thank you.

We spent four wonderful days at your little get-a-way Thanksgiving weekend. It was snowing on the way up but oh so beautiful when we arrived. The kids had a blast sledding and making snowmen while I cooked a full on meal and was not in need of anything that was not available in your kitchen. Love the movies for viewing and the cozy fireplace although we spent alot of time on the back patio watchng the giant squirrels during the day and the stars at night. Thanks so much!

My good friend and I took a trip to Big Bear for three days to get away from the city. We arrived Friday late afternoon to the cabin. It was easy to find and easy to get the key out of the lock box and get ourselves into the house. When we stepped in we couldn't believe how spacious and comfortable it was. The sisters made the cabin a place where you felt right at home. Fireplace, spiral staircase, Huge outdoor porch to cook, enjoy the squirrels (Which we did), have some cocktails and enjoyed our surroundings. We took hikes in the area, went down to the lake to fish, and had a blast going to the Oktoberfest. Our weekend was cozy and enjoyable. It felt like we were away yet had everything we needed to be comfortable. Can't wait to go again. This Cabin is perfect for anytime of the year!

Owner response:The squirrels are plentiful and the fresh air, too. We're glad it was enjoyable and thank you for the great review! We hope others will find it as you did.

Family Friendly!

Guest: Mom of many (Apple Valley, CA)
Date of Stay: 08/06/10 Review Submitted: 08/13/10

Being a large foster family we appreciated a cabin that slept many people but was still so affordable. The park and skate park at the end of the block was perfect, close enough to walk to. We really enjoyed the kid friendly dishes (although there are also "adult" dishes available), fenced in yard for the children, and of course the kids thought the spiral staircase was really cool. Bring some extra G rated movies for the kids, a large movie selection is available but limited for the youngest ones. The new refrigerator was clean and ready for our food. Not one of our kids complained about no cable TV and I really enjoyed the peace and quiet without it. The front porch and back deck were awesome, it's a quiet street and it really felt like we were in the woods. My husband actually brought a rocking chair in the back of the truck and set it on the porch for the weekend. We didn't use the washer and dryer but how great they would be in the winter when you want to dry out clothing from the snow. We appreciated the fact that there weren't alot of antiques/collectables and things that could be easily broken by children. We have great kids but accidents can happen, we weren't gasping every two seconds about something we didn't want to end up paying for. Lots of candles available but with the kids we put them up for our stay. Our communication was with Bonnie and she was great to work with from beginning to end. We ate at Thelma's on BB Blvd, very friendly and good food. Bring along your own pillow to ensure a great nights sleep and enjoy everything Big Bear has to offer.

Owner response:We are happy to oblige such a loving couple/family with our cabin. We are thrilled that the place was comfortable for you and we hope we see you there again!
