Immaculate Cabin

We have stayed at many cabin rentals over the years and Abigail's cottage was by far the cleanest and best laid out of all. It was smartly decorated with every convenience available without it being overdone. We brought our own bedding and linens to avoid the linen fee, but we prefer to that anyway. The kitchen was a little small for doing a a lot of cooking, but we ate out since the best restaurants in Big Bear are very close by. We would recommend Mandarin Garden for Chinese food and Madlon's for amazing French cuisine. We will definitely be back!
Owner response:I was so appreciative of these guests, who left my cottage so nice. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Big Bear and my Abigail's Cottage. I haven't tried Madlon's Restaurant, but will soon. You are welcome anytime!

We had a wonderful stay at Abigail's Cottage! It was very cozy and comfortable. We really appreciated all of the decorating touches that made it feel like a home. Our son loved the bunk beds - a real treat! We also enjoyed the huge TV and collection of DVDs and Blu-rays. The weather was perfect on our stay and allowed us to enjoy a beautiful hike (just a short drive from the cabin) that overlooked the slopes and the lake. Thanks for creating this wonderful home away from home!
Owner response:I really appreciate wonderful guests like your family. I'm so glad you found a great place to hike. My son keeps my DVDs and Blu-rays well stocked! I will tell him how much you enjoyed them. Please come again.....many times!

We spent a few days here in August, and had a great time kayaking around the lake, and hiking about. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood and close enough to town to make quick trips to the market. The charcoal grill was nice to have for cookouts and smores. We felt right at home in the cabin, and the WIFI was very convenient to do quick research of local restaurants and attractions. The owner is easygoing and a pleasure to deal with. It was nice to find a place that was clean and didn't smell like dogs. The second bedroom would be a nice place for other guests and children, and the DVD collection offers a wide variety of choices for both adults and children at the end of the day.
Owner response:I'm so happy that these guests enjoyed their visit to my cottage. These nice comments are what keep me interested in renting my cottage to nice folks!

Pleasant Cottage Feel

The moment we drove up to the cabin, we already had a smile on our faces. The owner definitely tool some pains to create a nice cottage experience. We had 6 people in our party and it fit us comfortably with just the right amount of space for sleeping, dining, and sitting around the living room. The cabin is very well kept and clean. I have bug phobia and I didn't notice 1 bug anywhere. The guys were impressed with the 50 inch TV with the large library of DVD's and the gals were loving the cute touches of the cabin inside and outside. The kitchen was stocked with enough pots, pans, utensils, plates, etc. to cook up a feast. The neighborhood is quiet and good curb appeal for surrounding properties. The only tip I would recommend is bringing some paper towels. We found 1 roll of paper towels and went through that pretty quickly. Another tip is to bring a wire scrubber for the BBQ grill (sorry, we're a little uptight about dirty grills). The one they had was kind of old and left outside. Other than these minor things, it was a great experience!
Owner response:I'm sorry this guest ran out of paper towels, but I thought one roll would last through the two night stay. I have since replaced the wire brush for the BBQ. I make every effort to provide a positive experience in my cozy cottage, so I'm very glad they considered my cottage a 5 star experience!

Home away from home

Everything was described to a tee for the property listing. Our second time there and we will be there again. The wife and i agreed that this would be an ideal second home where it is or on a lake. It's peaceful and quiet in the area and minutes away from the mountians in the rear view and provides a beautiful scene from the kitchen window. We are amazed at how clean and neat the site is , almost as if it was never used. It's only minutes away from the "town" and a short trip down the hill to Redlands and only minutes away from Lake Arrowhead. The accomodations within the cabin are absoutely adequate, Id recommend it to all. AND WE BELIEVE THE PRICE IS MORE THAN FAIR AND WOULD FIT MOST FOLKS BUDGET. The town has a lot to offer and hiking the trails is a ball. I enjoyed the LUMBERJACK CAFE for breakfast and lunch and attractions are as you make it. We visited the WOLF resort and hiked the trails and there are a number of small shops to keep you entertained. 3 hours to San Diego for the Zoo ( a 1-2 day trip depending on your desired drive time ).
Owner response:I'm so happy these repeat guests enjoyed their week in my cottage. I strive to provide a pleasant experience and nice decor. I also enjoy staying here myself!

Hi Phyllis, I just wanted to send you an email thanking you for providing such a wonderful getaway cabin for us for the New Year's weekend. We forgot to sign the guest book, but had an amazing stay. Thank you as well for the quick return of the security deposit, we would love to visit again. My boyfriend's parents who were visiting from England and are in their late 60's and early 70's had a blast, they had never been to a ski resort and watching the torch parade on New Years was beautiful and then we took them to Snow play and watching their faces as they flew down the mountain on innertubes was priceless! Thanks again and hope you had a wonderful New Years. Robin

Ownership matters...this cabin shows all the signs of an owner that spends time here and cares about the details. How great to have a 50" plasma set in a cozy cabin - fun DVD selection for our 5 year old and the bunk bed was a hit as well. Close to the unhurried side of Big Bear and still close enough to the hills - a relaxing getaway for family or couples.
Owner response:I'm so glad that my guests enjoyed my cottage. I spend lots of time there myself, both to enjoy it and also to do the maintenance that is necessary to keep it in tip top shape. These type of guests are why I continue to share my cottage with others!

This was the perfect base of operations for all our Labor Day weekend adventures in Big Bear. We had a great time and the cabin was close to everything we wanted to do. Also, it was great to relax and watch movies on the new plasma TV. People at my office laughed as I spoke of "roughing it" with wifi, DSL, and big screen plasma TV. Thanks for such a great time!

We enjoy your cabin a lot. It's so nice and clean. Our boys like your new bridge across the river. We like your King bed size and all your decolation for summer and winter. We did not see this bed from last year. This cabin must be improved all the time. I promise my family that we will come back again. One of my boys looked so sad when we lefe this cabin!!

Thank you for letting my family stay in your cabin. Every time, we stay in your cabin makes us feel comfortable and safe. You improve your cabin all the time. This summer, you put a new bridge across the river in your front garden. It looks so nice. My two young kids enjoy the bridge a lot!!! WE LOVE TO COME BACK SOON.

Our winter visit to Abigail's Cottage was terrific! The owner was very responsive and personable. The cottage is furnished in a charming turn of the last century upscaled motif. It was wonderfully comfortable and everything was spotless. The cabin has all amenities and we needed nothing except our food and skiis. This is a pride of ownership properity and I storongly recommend this gold star Big Bear cabin rental.
Owner response:Having wonderful guests like you Bill makes my day! I hope you come again with your family.

Once again Abigail's Cabin was our home away from home! Warm, cozy and extremely comfortable. We had a great time skiing and having snow ball fights in the backyard. We're already planning our trip for next year!
