We had so much fun here! The cabin is so cozy - we opted to cook and stay in more than go out! Our kids loved all the board games. The kitchen has nearly every kitchen appliance you could need, and there are lots of thoughtful details (lanterns, cozy blankets, the best smelling soaps!). Holly was exceptionally responsive. We will absolutely return.

Wonderful Stay

Perfect size home for our family of 3! We enjoyed both the fireplace and fire pit very much and our daughter loved having the upstairs all to herself. The beds were super comfy and the location was awesome! Holly is an awesome host and very communicative about everything you need to know. Can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful modern home within walking distance of Big Bear Lake

We loved this home! The modern updates were beautifully done and well thought out. We were delighted to stay here versus many of the thrown together, plaid, older-style homes available on VRBO in the area. The hosts were wonderful to work with and provided most everything we could need (shampoo/conditioner/laundry detergent/sponge for washing dishes/towels/internet). It was a very peaceful stay!

Fantastic

Everything was thought of in this cabin. The property is unassuming from the outside, but stepping in is truly like being transported into paradise. The way this home is set up utilizes every bit the property into a cozy yet airy retreat. Enjoying a glass of wine by the fire pit and admiring the enormous trees that encapsulate the property was breathtaking. Savoring a cup of coffee overlooking the view of the lake is a memory not soon forgotten. I will absolutely be staying here again.

Clean, Cozy Cabin!

My partner and I needed a quick escape to recharge our batteries, and this was the perfect place to do so! The cabin is immaculate, and so tastefully decorated, you can tell the owners take great pride in maintaining the property. It is fully stocked with all the comforts of home, including pots, pans, silverware, cooking utensils, and even a few gadgets, all of which are clean and even appear to be brand new. We didn't use any of these, as we were only there for the night and decided to have our meals out. It is located within walking distance to the village, so you don't have to fight for parking. The furniture is nice, new, and more importantly comfortable! The linens were clean, soft, and plentiful. Holly, the owner was responsive from the moment I booked the cabin, and even emailed me the day I arrived to ensure everything was up to par...which it most certainly was! I can go on, and on, about how great this cabin is! We will definitely be booking this rental again!!!

Cute Getaway

The cabin itself is quite cute and located within walking distance to the village, so we really enjoyed being able to venture out for nice walks around the lake/village. We also loved having the wood stove for cozy movie nights. The primary downside for us was the location of the bathroom which you can only access by going through the bedroom on the main level. No big deal if just one couple but a little more challenging with more than 2 adults and kids in tow. Makes it a little tougher to have privacy or not be woken up during the night.

Hidden surprise

Don’t let the lack of curb appeal dissuade you. When we pulled up on the street, we couldn’t even find this tiny property tucked into the back of the lot. But the inside is nicely upgraded. Even though it is tiny, it was plenty comfortable for two of us to not even go upstairs. So it could easily accommodate another couple or a family with kids. Location is an easy walk to the village, though it was not crowded when we were in town so no problem driving and parking.

About the host

Host profile image
We Purchased our cabin in 2016! My family and I love to come to Big bear to escape from the busy world we live in to slow it down. We enjoy hiking , fishing and walking to the village. In the winter, we love to go snowboarding and relax by the fire and playing games! We are from San Diego, CA it is a quick drive to feel so far away.
We hope that you will fall in love with our place and Big Bear Lake as much as we have! We want our home to feel like your home.
Thanks for choosing the Serendipity in the woods!

Holly, Raul , Diego and Lilianna

Why they chose this property

We chose our place because it is walking distance to the village. It has great hiking and biking trails right in our own backyard. We are close to the lake and all the functions they put on in the village. Close to great restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Our place was built in 1940 . It needed some love put back into the home. We loved the charm of the cabin, but this home needed to be updated . We added new upgraded features that make our place very comfortable for a group of 6. Our home has a lot of old charm with new character.
We hope that you enjoy our home as much as we do.
