Great for Families

We had two families staying at the Original Fox Farm House over New Years (4 adults, 4 children). The property was perfect - from the game room downstairs to the play area in the back. The house is very cute and worked well with our situation.We had a slight issue with the key situation, but the owner was very quick to respond and even came out to check on the door/key while we were there.Highly recommend, and we hope to be back next year for our annual Big Bear trip!

Loved the sledding slope on property. House 3 is great. House 1 needs general maintenance and repairs. House 2 is minimalist. Quality of linens and towels could be better. Overall worked well for our group.

Awesome family reunion/ blessing ceremony

We had such a wonderful time. The property was gorgeous and each house had wonderful features. I have seen other reviews say the pictures?don't do it justice and they don't! If we are ever able to have a family reunion again in Big Bear, we will definitely stay here. The Barn is amazing!! Santiago and Laurie answered every question we had and allowed us to check in early and check out late. Thank you so much!!

A dream come true!

We looked at this property in March to rent for July & it was absolutely stunning in March. Come July.. and it’s sooo beautiful! Santiago and his family help keep the property absolutely spotless. The kids fully enjoyed the basketball court and play ground. The adults loved the jacuzzi. We want to do it again next summer. 10/10 recommend!

We had the best time!

This property is absolutely beautiful. We stayed for 3 nights in July. We lucked out with beautiful weather in the 70’s. We came with a group of girls for a church retreat. They were in heaven. They could not believe they got to stay in such a beautiful place. The grounds are wonderful. We spent almost all of our time enjoying the yard space. We used the built in amphitheater next to the barn for evening gatherings and an outside movie night. We used the tables in the yard throughout the day for activities and crafts. We did all of our cooking in the back house. I would say the AC was not efficient in the upstairs back house. But you could open the windows. This property is so charming and well kept. I highly recommend it. The price point is a steal for what you have access to. We even had a bear stroll through the property one day at lunch time that gave us quite a scare but luckily most of us were already at the back house balcony preparing to eat lunch. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Better Than Expected

The photos didn’t do this place justice. The property is immaculate, manicured and pristine. All three houses are so nice and complete, they feel like a home and not just a rental. From the ceramic tile counter tops to the furniture - really wonderful place. And the oversized bathrooms/oversized showers - wow. Lives the place. Came away thinking it was worth more than what we paid.

Perfect Property for a large group

The property was absolutely perfect for our large group. There were some who wanted a quiet space for which the front house was perfect and the kids loved the loft so they could play games separate from the adults. We have done this trip annually now for over 12 years and everyone said this was there favorite place by far!

A very delightful place for our large family gathering.

The new house if exceptionally comfortable and well laid out for a large group. The original house is nice and functional. Grounds are well kept and very useable even in the winter. It would have been nice to have a list of kitchen supplies as some were not available and had to be purchased for our cooking. Overall a wonderful stay!

Christmas Vacation

We had such a wonderful time staying here at the Country Barn Estate. The place was spotless clean when we arrived, everything worked just fine. We had plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably and even with their own bathrooms. My kids had a blast outside on the playground and playing basketball on the court they have. Our stay was so comfortable and we enjoyed ourselves very much. It is super close to the village which was nice and super close to the market. The only thing I would have a ( I wouldn't even call it a complaint ) I guess something I would like them to have, is a small toaster and if they would allow more people to stay instead of 16. We would have loved to have more of our family experience this wonderful trip we had with us. Other than that we were already talking about renting it out next year.

A True Paradise

There are not a lot of words to explain this wonderful place. It was more than we could have asked for. 3 very unique, separate retreats for multiple families. This place is a true treasure. A great place for family retreats for sure. We were totally blessed by coming here. Completely exceeded our expectations. Great yard for kids to play, game room, and plenty of room for everyone.

Beautiful property. Especially fun for a family.

This is a beautiful property consisting of more than just a rental house. The grounds are safe for children to play- there even is a play structure for little ones. In the winter, there also is a sledding hill, which is also fun for children. Both houses on the property are well appointed with all the kitchen and bath necessities. The check in and check procedures are made to be most convenient, and there is always someone to call if there is a problem of any kind. We have stayed at this property three times now and have never encountered a problem. We hope to return again to this wonderful place for a family get away.

Great for family vacation!

The only thing that could have made this place better would have been more snow! The property is so perfect for a winter getaway. You can even sled on the large property, but unfortunately for us, most the snow was gone. I would also recommend bringing extra towels for the hot tub outside. This house was well stocked with anything you could need and had lots of great thought and detail put into the amenities (like shampoo, etc available in case you forgot, detailed instructions for spa, grill was clean). If we have a large group again, we would definitely stay at this property.
