Adorable Tiny Cabin

My dad, daughter and I had a wonderful time at this cabin. It’s so cute and I love the bedroom upstairs. It was perfectly located for us because we skied at Snow Summit. I definitely recommend this place if you are open to cozy spaces.

Cute cabin in a great location

We loved our stay at the Baby Bear Bungalow. The cabin is spacious and even with its rustic charm it is still comfortable. You can’t beat the reasonable price especially when you consider how close it is to the slopes!

Perfect Big Bear cabin experience!

The cabin is cute, comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. Plus the jetted tub was clean and really fun. My 9yo granddaughter loved the spiral staircase to the spacious loft, but would not recommend for small children or elders. We even made good use of the plastic sleds! Both front and back yards were big enough for kids to play in the snow and hang out. Highly recommend for the right family.

Amazing little retreat up in the mountains!

Was an awesome cabin that I and my pup loved! Cozy and remote, this cabin is a great location with close access to hiking trails, Big Bear Zoo, and the town itself! Definitely will add this little retreat to my lists of must rent places!

Great location!

The cleanliness and location were fantastic. It was easy to access the mountain, hiking trails are within walking distance, and it's far enough away from the village to avoid traffic, but close enough that you can get there in 10 minutes or less, even with traffic. The cabin is small but roomy, the layout would work perfectly for 2-3 people. It was just me and my dog, so we had plenty of room. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, utensils, cleaning supplies, most anything you could need to make a few meals. The back deck was nice to sit on during the day. If you're going to be grilling out back, bring a lantern, the automatic lights will turn off if you sit still for too long and the patio lights don't provide great visibility. The only real issue I had was that the furnace went from 0-60 in a notch or two, so it was either chilly or I was broiling, but I went with chilly most of the time and just curled up under blankets or wore a sweatshirt. Laura was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and there are plenty of instructions posted inside the cabin to help guide you if you have questions - I didn't have to contact her at all after I arrived. I would happily stay there again!

Cute, cozy, cabin getaway!

We arrived after dark to this fun get away. We were pleased the address was lit up for us to see. The keys were easily accessed and the home was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. The fenced yard in the back had a deep lot, and it was wonderful for our dog who loves to romp and play outside. The furnishings were full of character and made us feel at home. One of the highlights was the spa jetted bathtub. It adds a little extra luxury and relaxation and who doesn't enjoy that? The bed was comfortable and the small desk and chair were great for our laptop. We didn't use the upstairs loft, but it seemed extra roomy. The only hesitation I would have would be young children or elderly as the spiral stairs could be a safety issue. We loved the neighborhood and it was so close to Bear Mountain which would be a big plus especially in the wintertime.Our favorite activity was bike riding on the North Shore of the Lake. Everything was conveniently located within a short drives distance.The only complaint would be the construction going on next door. They started by 8am and it would have been nice to have another hr or so of quiet. They didn't work on Sunday which was a plus. It would be helpful to have some instructions on accessing the Netflix and how to effectively use the Franklin stove which us city folk weren't used to. All and all it was a VERY enjoyable stay. Thanks!

Why they chose this property

I loved the modern yet rustic feel, the amount of space in the backyard, and the neighborhood. The spiral staircase is my favorite architectural feature and the loft is my favorite room (especially in the winter, as it's the warmest)! The wood burning stove is the best little thing to warm the entire house. I also liked that it was a manageable size, but still had plenty of different spaces for people to hang out. Front porch or backyard/deck, upstairs or down, eating nook or office nook, watch tv from the recliners in the main room or watch a movie in bed, or take a long bath in the jet tub!
