Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad the home worked well for your family and that you enjoyed the clean space, big kitchen, and quiet neighborhood. It ’s also great to hear the short drive to Big Bear Village made it easy to get around. We’d love to host you again anytime!
This was one of the most impressive cabins we’ve ever stayed at in big bear. Very well kept and the whole process was super smooth. Love that it was pet friendly. So rare. Most places look the part online but this one checks out. Only wish it had a second spare half bath downstairs. But it was what we expected and more.

Thank you for such a glowing review! We're so happy to hear the cabin lived up to — and even exceeded — what you saw online, and that the entire process felt seamless from start to finish. It's especially nice to know the pet-friendly setup made the trip easier for everyone in your group. We appreciate the note about an additional half bath downstairs as well, and we'll keep that in mind. We'd love to welcome you and your pups back to Big Bear anytime!
Very beautiful cabin in a quiet, cozy neighborhood. Hot tub could have been turned on to heat a bit sooner to be used the first night after a long drive, but it was a great property. The heated, furnished garage with games was a plus… our teenager stayed in there the whole stay pretty much. Lots of kitchen amenities and cozy gas fireplaces/heating to take the cool chill off.

Thank you so much, Maria! We're glad you loved the cabin, the location, and our customer service. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we can't wait to host you again soon!
This place is great. Great location, great house with all the listed amenities. Check in was smooth and all communication was spot on.There were a few cobwebs here and there. The top for the hot tub was falling apart and, although I didn't have a test kit with me, I'm nearly positive that the chemicals weren't quite right in the hot tub water. It just kinda had a funny smell, not the chlorine smell normally associated with hot tubs.I would stay here again.

So glad the home was such a great spot with that smooth check-in and on-point communication! Really appreciate you flagging the cobwebs and especially the hot tub cover and water — we'll get those passed along to the team right away so they can be addressed. Hope to welcome you back anytime!
This was such a lovely home and we had a great family trip. The place is super clean and I am super picky so I would never just say that. The pictures in the listing are accurate. I love the big window and the view was very peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything with this place was wonderful. It felt clean with the perfect combination of rustic cabin and modern amenities. The huge fully insulated and finished garage made for an awesome game room. There's a heater but we didn't even need it it didn't get cold in there. We would definitely go back
