Auntie trip with niece

Super adorable and perfect for a quick girl's trip to Big Bear. We thought it was comfortable, functional and clean in its pint size cuteness for 1 adult downstairs and 2 teenagers sharing the loft bedroom.

Great little cabin

Someone needs to love this cabin just a little bit. Clean up the weeds and sweep off the deck. We used the jacuzzi but it needed some maintenance too. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfy and it had everything we needed. *

Cute Little Cabin

Awesome location to access the nearest stores, restaurants and views. Apart from the spa pool not being cleaned, Overall it was an amazing stay. If you are wanting to use the spa pool, I would recommend to call a head and ask if it has been cleaned etc. The check in process was very simple and the staff were great over the phone and in person. Would definitely recommend to families and friends.

Great Big Bear cabin

I was able to book this cabin last minute before the busy 4th of July weekend. Pricing was affordable. The communication between the company was great as this was my first attempt at a cabin rental. Check in process was fantastic, super helpful and friendly. We were also able to get to check in early and check out late which was a plus. Upon arriving at the property, the cabin was nestled in its little own area. Outside and inside were very clean. Loved the set up, especially the spiral staircase leading to the upstairs bedroom. I highly recommend this cabin. I will for sure be saving this spot and hopefully returning many times.

Cute rustic cabin

This place was a great location and was pretty cute overall. My main point of contention was that for the price we paid to rent, some of the appliances/furniture could have been upgraded - like the vinyl was peeling on the table and though there were three TVs, my laptop would have been easier to watch something on. The front door locked automatically due to a malfunction of the latch, and they were quick to respond and get us back in, but future guests should be made aware to avoid being locked out. Our stay was very nice overall, the hot tub is beautiful to relax in at night and I like some of the quirky rustic elements of the cabin.

Pleasent

Overall we were satisfied. When we got there there was a piece of food on the kitchen countertop covered with ants. We were satisfied with the inside of the unit but the outside was pretty weathered and full of cobwebs especially on the front of the A-Frame. A flat soccer ball in the front porch and an old broom. First impression was less than impressive but we loved the coziness of the inside. We did have to go purchase more toilet paper. rolls!

A frame house

It could have been better. There is no dishwasher, so everything is washed by hand and NO counter space in kitchen or anywhere to put anything. Dishes, pots were not clean so had to rewash, smoke detector went off 3 times, no smoke, once while using oven and twice toasting a bagel. Shower pressure terrible and then was scalding hot or freezing. Called prop mgr and they did send a plumber and handy man, just too many issues within first day and too time consuming. Moved us to a MUCH worse house- so wish we would have stayed put.

Property is super cute and comfortable

We enjoyed our stay very much. We enjoyed the town. Just Minor issues and the check in was a bit disappointing. We were told it will be a bit after 3 but if the property available early, they will let us know and instructed us not to call. However; it was after 4 and we didn’t receive any calls. I had to call to see if it’s ready for us.. But overall we loved and enjoyed the property very much. Will certainly recommend this place

Big Bear A-Frame House

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this lovely A-Frame house with hot tub in Big Bear. It has a nice charm and a great place to relax in a quite neighborhood. It was also close to town with a short drive to shopping and groceries. We would defiantly stay here again.

A+ Frame!

Our family had a really nice time here. If you are looking for luxury, keep searching. This is really nice place for the price, though (and frankly, I like a cabin to be little on the "rustic" side). There weren't many amenities on hand, so be sure to pack things like salt and pepper, coffee filters...the little things you can't live without. The cabin was quite clean, though, and offered a great location, near everything.

Rustic Little Cabin

My husband and I stayed for two nights. It was a very relaxing stay a 5 minute drive from the main town. My only real complaint is that this place needs to be deep cleaned. Everything above eye level is covered in a layer of dust from the lights to the ceiling fan. Otherwise it was cozy and good enough for our little getaway.

Cute, small cabin-wish it were cleaner.

The cabin was a bit dirty. We found crackers on the ground, an old water bottle and Chapstick that wasn’t ours. The Jacuzzi was very dirty and we couldn’t even see our feet. The cabin is quaint but we probably wouldn’t stay there again.

Beautiful property and amazing management

Loved the stay, the promptness of management response to a minor issue with the hot tub temperature, and the late check out process. Cabin was as beautiful as listed on pictures, and the entire stay was just wonderful! Note: if using the in-house fire log oven, be aware that second floor gets warmed up very quickly.
