Thank you so much for the review, Patti! It was an absolute pleasure to host you and your group.
Lori was an excellent host and her propert was just what we were looking for. There was a little issue with accessing the property but she addressed it quickly and it was smooth sailing from there. Our kids loved the backyard and the house was plenty big for the family.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Nathan! We'd love to have you back anytime!
This cabin was the perfect cozy mountain escape from the city, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. Communication with the host was excellent and exactly as described, making the entire stay seamless. The home is warm and inviting, with soaring ceilings, beautiful views from every window, and a layout that’s ideal for relaxing or gathering together. We especially loved the quiet setting and the large, fully enclosed backyard, which was perfect and stress-free for our dogs. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and truly felt like a home away from home. Peaceful, comfortable, and well-located—we would absolutely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin, especially with how practical it was for our 2 small dogs. The enclosed backyard is not only great to hang out in but very handy with the pets! We had a great time and would definitely return.

Hi Matt, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! It was a pleasure to host you and we’d love to have you back anytime!
Great property for a family! It's centrally located to all of Big Bear's venues. Close to it's main street and Boulder Bay park. Excellent house!Thanks again Lori and crew!
Our family of 6 (doggie included) enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean, cozy, and spacious. We loved the fenced back yard, and the location was great. Lori checked in on us through the app during the stay to ensure everything was going well. The complimentary bottle of wine was a sweet gesture. We spent more time inside than usual due to the rain, but thankfully there were games, movies, and heat/fireplace. Cabin was well-stocked with kitchen supplies, coffee maker, keurig, pet bowls, etc.

Jean, it was such a pleasure to host you! Thank you so much for the lovely review. We would love to have you back anytime!
This is a well laid out cabin getaway, came here with my adult children for a long weekend. The open main room/kitchen was ideal for the six of us to hangout together and the backyard is a tranquil forest oasis; how I miss lying in the hammock starring up through the pines at a starry sky! What stuck out the most was the quality of the furnishings throughout, even the outdoor furniture was of the highest quality.

Ramsey, thank you so much for your kind review! Relaxing in the hammock is one of my favorite things to do as well :). So glad you and your family enjoyed your time at Bleu J Cabin!
Nicely decorated home in a great location near the lake. Lovely relaxing backyard has a hammock and horseshoes. My husband, adult son and I spent two nights here and found it super convenient to the marina and all the shops and restaurants. (Tip for future guests: light switch for the light above the kitchen sink is tucked away behind the coffee maker. It took us forever to find it!)
Amazing property, especially for dog owners. The cabin has an open layout and great kitchen with huge family table and all the amenities. Everything was clean and comfortable and so inviting for families. The backyard was a dream. We had so much fun playing jenga on the deck and horseshoes in the huge well landscaped yard that it safely fenced in. So pleased with this place.Hope to return again in near future!
We had a wonderful 4-night stay at this Big Bear cabin. The property was spotlessly clean with a spacious backyard that was perfect for our Great Dane - truly pet-friendly with plenty of room to roam.Check-in was seamless with keyless entry, and we received detailed information and local recommendations in advance. The hosts were responsive and checked in during our stay to ensure everything was going well.The location was perfect with easy access to everything Big Bear has to offer. The cabin had all the amenities we needed, including a nice gas fireplace for cozy evenings.Overall, this was exactly what we were looking for in a mountain getaway. Clean, comfortable, and well-managed. We would definitely stay here again!
A perfectly clean, roomy, and adorable cabin in the perfect location. Walking distance to the water and a very short drive to the village, it was exactly what we were looking for. Owner was friendly and very accommodating. Our pup, friends, and their 1.5 year old loved it as much as we did, will definitely be returning!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again in future :).
The cabin was SO cute with a welcome note & wine for us and a cute welcome box of goodies for our dogs. The house was so clean & the backyard is where we spent most of our time it was nice to have it all fenced in along with the hammock being the family favorite. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinners at the house also. So close to the village just a mile drive away! We would definatly stay here again!

This wonderful cabin made our trip perfect. We all loved the cabin from ages 70 to 3. It's roomy but cozy and what an amazing backyard! Thank you for the bird seed! This is our favorite cabin we have rented in Big Bear, so I guarantee you'll see us again! Thank you for everything!
Very nice property and perfect for dogs. The backyard is a perfect spot to let them out safely. The 5 star for the excellent towels in the bathroom. I can't stand it when you go to a VRBO and its run by one of these agencies who purchase the cheapest stuff possible. This place unit is furnished with love with nice fluffy thick towels. Thank you for the nice touch.
This house is absolutely the 10 out of 10!!! To start is very very very clean, that made our stay very confortabile! It has literally EVERYTHING you need! If u like to cook, pans, utensils, appliance are all very new! What ever you need say it they have !!! The house is remodeled with a modern touch but still in theme with a cabin vibe and very cozy! spaces are perfect for a family and friends gathering trip! Also it has a huge fanced back yard perfect for dogs but also for your privacy! Bbq has gas so you don’t have to worry about amply tanks! The location is fantastic, basically on the lake but also walking distance or 5 mins driving from down town village! there are plants of table games even if we brought ours! The host is very nice and very attentive, I got very easy instructions to check in and out! We were happy, Kids were happy , dogs super happy! I will rent it again 100%. Thank you Lori you made our stay very comfortable! We loved it! :)

About the host
Hosted by Lori Avery
Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to consider staying with us. We are a family of four who love to travel and make memories together. We are San Diego residents who love to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and visit our "home away from home", Bleu J Cabin. We are honored to share our cabin with other families and groups who want to get away to the mountains to relax and recharge!
Why they chose this property
Our home was professionally designed to meet the demands of modern convenience (WIFI, newer appliances etc) while also providing the cozy mountain aesthetic you want when you travel to the mountains. The cabin is pleasing to the eye and set back on a large lot with a HUGE fenced backyard. There is a deck and a grill plus a hammock for when the weather is nice :).
What makes this property unique
A very short walk to the lake and marina! Also very close to the village.
