Clean and comfortable, dogs loved the yard

The steps to the entry are a little challenging otherwise this cabin was just about perfect for a relaxing weekend. The location of the cabin was in a quiet neighborhood and offered privacy and a great front deck. Cabin was well equipped and comfortable with everything we needed, even a couple of candles we found during a couple of power outages. Suggest visitors prep for power outages as lovely Big Bear is challenged with fire prevention needs. We would recommend this cabin.

Great stay!

The property management was very communicative and the property was great. The only issue was having to pick up the keys from the office, which is about 10 minutes from the house. A minor inconvenience as the main way up from LA is closed

Excellent

Family and dog friendly, and spacious for 2 adults and 2 kids! My kids lived the loft area which gave them their own space and television! Great quiet location, close to grocery and food places. We enjoyed the jacuzzi but did wish the jacuzzi would've been a little bit warmer, considering we visited in the winter. My family will return in future years!

Wonderful stay at Zen Den! Not far from town, has everything we would need, super easy check-in and check-out with lockbox at the entrance, would go back again! One opportunity for improvement: the downstairs bedroom mattress needs updating, it heavily sinks in the middle. Also, when you sit at the foot of the bed the entire mattress comes off the head of the bed frame, and one can slip and fall to the floor. We slept upstairs in separate beds the second night and it was a much more restful sleep.

Excellent Stay in Big Bear

This cabin was fantastic. Bed was super comfy and the whole cabin was nice and clean. Kitchen had everything we needed to be able to cook meals throughout the weekend. The hot tub was great and was a nice way to unwind after a day packed with activities. It was a nice space for me and my wife, but it would be great for a small family with one or two children as well as there's a couple of small beds upstairs and a bunch of drawers and cabinets full of toys and games. Location was great too- it never took more than 5 minutes to drive to anything we wanted to go to. I will look for this cabin again next time I come to Big Bear!

The house is super cute and decorated nicely with nice outdoor options for the kids. We had trouble with the heater turning off at night so it would get cold but not intolerable because of good blankets. The bbq was not working when we were so excited to grill some steaks we got (seems the battery was out in the igniter ) and unfortunately the lighter in the house was out of fluid. So we also couldn’t light the Fireplace. The management brought us matches later that day which was helpful though. Overall would recommend but som details need ironing out. Thanks for letting us rent your home.

Hi Mish! Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home’s décor and the outdoor space for the kids. We sincerely apologize for the heater cycling off at night and the issues with the BBQ igniter and fireplace. We’ve since reviewed these items to ensure everything is fully operational for future guests. We’re glad we were able to get matches to you quickly and appreciate your understanding. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for an even smoother visit next time!

Overnight Stay w/ Hot Tub Issues

The place was as described, clean and appears well cared for. We booked just a single overnight stay for a weekend getaway for myself and my wife. Went into town for dinner and live music which was great and just a short drive away. Unfortunately our return back that evening was less great as the hot tub would not heat up past 94 degrees which was the equivalent of warm bath water. I tried adjusting the temperature and waited over an hour and never got any hotter and eventually locked myself out of the settings trying to resolve it. We booked a place specifically for a hot tub so it was unfortunate. I recommend checking the hot tub temp on arrival!!

Hi, Andrew! Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us for your weekend getaway. I’m glad to hear that the place met your expectations in terms of cleanliness and location and that you enjoyed your time in town. 98 degrees is still hot and is still a temperature you can use to relax. I am sorry you felt that it wasn't hot enough and that you decided to not use it. We appreciate your understanding and hope that, despite this issue, you were still able to enjoy your stay. We’d love to have the opportunity to make it up to you on a future visit.
