  This is a wonderful cabin - comfortable, beautifully laid out, clean. You can tell that the owners love this cabin (and we do too, now!). The kitchen is better equiped than my kitchen at home. The quiet is amazing. This was a get-away weekend for my boyfriend and I to celebrate his birthday - we arrived stressed and tired from work and family dramas, and left smiling, well rested and relaxed (hot tub under the stars!). Izumi is very helpful and easy to reach with any questions or concerns. Easy, through the woods walk to and from the "Village Center". We found the local general store to be suprisingly well stocked and the local mexican restaurant was tasty.

  We brought our family to this wonderful cabin for a long weekend in the snow. Everything was perfect! The cabin is very clean and cozy with all the amenities needed. We had such fun playing in the snow and coming in to hot chocolate and games by the fire. The owners are wonderful to work with and very welcoming. It was everything I had hoped for.

  I actually did not want to write a review at first for purely selfish reason: I don't want everyone knowing about this cabin! Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The cabin is incredibly clean and well maintained, yet still has this vibe and comfort level that makes you feel at home the moment you walk in to the front door. The place is immaculately cared for and well stocked. We were worried about spending Thanksgiving in a rental cabin due to having to cook our big meal away from our own kitchen, but quickly found that the cabin was better stocked than our house. It had every appliance and utensil we could possibly need. Before booking the cabin, I had never even heard of Pine Mountain Club. It truly is as the ad for this property suggest "so close and so far away." It is an extremely cute town. It is the chance to escape to a mountain setting without dealing with the ski crowds usually found in Big Bear and other areas. We were a little worried about privacy at first as we drove in to the neighborhood, but quickly found that the cabin felt extremely secluded in a good way. The houses tend to be pretty well spaced out, so you quickly forget you have neighbors. Also, the cabin sits a little higher up than the house behind it, so you can sit by the cozy fireplace, look out the floor to ceiling window and see the most beautiful mountain settings. The place also had a large deck with comfortable seating and a gas grill. The lower deck houses what may be the cabin's best asset: the jacuzzi. The jacuzzi is absolutely amazing. Upon opening the cover it was the cleanest most inviting jacuzzi I have ever seen and I couldn't wait to try it out. The owner goes to great lengths to maintain the jacuzzi, and it certainly shows. Sitting back and enjoying the hot water while staring at the stars became I nightly ritual. The interior of the cabin is pristine but still feels like home. There is a binder that gives you information on how to use everything. The couch was extremely comfortable and the bed as well. Everything was clean and looked brand new. There is a list of things you must clean before you leave; but don't worry,the list is not overwhelming by any means and is basically what you would do at any rental even if you were paying a cleaning fee. Doing it yourself and not paying a cleaning fee was great. Izumi was great and very accomodating. Overall, it was a great relaxing trip and we certainly will go back
