Wonderful Stay

This property was a great fit for our family of all ages. There was enough room in the kitchen to gather while meals were prepped and shared, or to find a quiet corner for some me time. Highly recommend.

Memories were made!

This house we stayed at was beautiful, spacious and well stocked with all your cooking needs. What we liked most was the space! The photos do not do this house justice. Memories were made and we had a lot of fun in the snow at this beautiful location.

Small family/friend gathering

We booked this trip with our close friends as a winter getaway. The layout of the home was perfect for allowing us both to have separate spaces when our little ones needed rest, but also plenty of common gathering areas. The residential neighborhood was absolutely beautiful and felt tucked away from the bustle of the busy areas in Big Bear. It was close to snowboarding and tubing and restaurants and everything we needed.

Great Multi-Family Home

Great hosts and beautiful, big home with dual master suites. Furnished basement with pool table/big TV/large L-shaped comfy couch made it a welcome respite for the kids while the adults had their space on the main level. Highly recommended - we’ll certainly be back! Thx,

MUST STAY...AWESOME CABIN

Our stay was wonderful at this beautiful cabin. It was larger then anticipated and was even nicer than the pictures. The location was perfect and it had fabulous views. Would definitely stay here again. Gretchen (owner) was excellent and easy communication between us...she allowed three hour early check in to be the Thanksgiving snow storm. A MUST STAY...We will be back

Friends Getaway

We went up to Big Bear for the weekend with a group of old friends. It was great to get away and catch up. This home is centrally located and was very close to where the Oktoberfest is held. We enjoyed attending it and it was the first time for many. The house was ideal for our size group and it was set up perfectly. Highly recommend this home for gathering of both families and friends.

Our annual family Big Bear trip!

Every year we choose a different home to rent for the weekend, but we all agreed that this is one we want to return to! This property was so spacious, plenty of room for all who came. There was so much to do inside of the home that we did not leave until we left home. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for some great meals. I was already excited to return before we even left. Thank you for being a great host, Gretchen!

Great for our large family

We had 12 adults & 2 toddlers with us & found this to be a great stay for 3 nights over the holidays. It's close to groceries & most anything you'd want to do in Big Bear. You can't park on the street, but we fit a suburban in the garage and 3 full size trucks with crew cabs & 8' beds in the driveway just fine. The kitchen is well stocked & there's plenty of places to hang out. If the trash cans on site are full, you have to drop it off downtown at a disposal facility- something that applied to our larger group. Check out procedures are super low key- so that's a big plus in the vacation rental world from our experience. We would stay again.

Home away from home

The cabin was amazing! Located In one of the most beautiful places in big bear. The cabin was very clean and everything we needed was there. The property manager was very sweet and answered all our questions. Gretchen even authorized a special request which was greatly appreciated. Without it, we probably would’ve ended up in another cabin and we would’ve missed out on all of the comforts and experiences of her lovely cabin. We even got to see some wildlife while taking our nightly walks. A family of coyotes that cross her property every night would greet us with their presence. The beautiful memories we have while staying in this cabin will be with us forever. Thank you 🙏

Big Bear stay

The property was nice. It was July, so a bit warm without any air conditioning available during warmest part of day. Would have been nice to have. The caroet in the Master Bedroom was quite soiled and would have been nice to have clean carpet for the price paid, and caliber of home. Lastly, tje toilets would not flush fully regularly. Tjat would have been nice to have fixed. Otjer than tjese inconveniences, that would have been better at a hotel, and less expensive, the stay was nice.

Great location

Overall a great experience. We were a group of fifteen, including children and teens. There were sleds, snowboards, and skis for all to enjoy, but we only used the sleds. Lots of space, including two family rooms (one for the kids and one for adults) There are two en suites. There is one other full bathroom and a powder room. Would've been great to have an additional full bathroom, but we worked it out. Also, needed more utensils, so take your own forks/spoons/knives if you are a large group. Beds and sofas were very comfortable.

Perfect mountain getaway

This property was PERFECT. We had a group of 11 of us, including 2 younger kids. There was tons of room to relax and not be bothered by anyone, or gather and play games together. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed to cook a meal for a large group. We didn’t end up using the hot tub, Bc we were having so much fun doing other things, but it was a nice feature to have. The multiple fridges was super handy to store waters and drinks in everywhere we were. This place was hands down the best vacation rental we have stayed. Thank you!!!!
