We loved our stay at Fox Farm. The home was clean and beautiful. So much room for us to relax and play. Between the pool table, foosball table, and hottub, we were never out of things to do. We didn't want to leave! Can't wait to get back soon.
We had no problems at all and any questions we had were answered very quickly.

Hi Corie - We’re so glad to hear you had a great stay at our cabin with your family! Thanks for your kind words and we’d love to host you all again in the future.
Take Care!
Everything was good here. The pool table foos ball table tv bar area kitchen all in the center allow for fun central gathering! We loved the saddle chairs lol. The cleaning crew could have done better I think they completely missed the bar area but it is a big house. Overall highly recommend! Alison was immediately communicative on anything needed.

Thank you Michael & we hope to host your group again in the future! I alerted our cleaning crew that they did not pay enough attention to cleaning the bar area so thanks for letting me know.
Hello VRBO Patrons! My family and I rented this cabin during the week of March 16, and let me tell you, it was awesome! It is EXACTLY like the pictures. Super clean and well-maintained! The saddle bar-stools were a huge hit with both the kiddos and the adults! Kitchen was well appointed and super user friendly. The bedrooms we all clean and fresh and the beds were comfy. The bunk room is downstairs and all the kids slept there and had a blast. We would absolutely go back! Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation!

Hi Aaron, So glad that you and your family enjoyed your time at our cabin and we hope to host you again very soon!
Thank you,
Alison & Chris
Our fam of 12 had an excellent stay at Avalon Retreat in January. Amenities were great and it had plentiful supplies. There were some hiccups during the stay (door code at check in, electrical issue, and my kid locked the bedroom door), but Alison and the property manager were quick to respond each time. There was an incoming storm and the power went out a few times. There were no flashlights to be found. Luckily we brought one and there were a few candles. The beds could use an upgrade. Most other things were minor and would definitely recommend Avalon Retreat!

Hi Tiffany - So glad you enjoyed your stay with us and I hope to host you again in the future. Sorry you did not find any flashlights as I left several in the upper washer/dryer room. Had I known I would have told you where to look. Sorry for the rolling electrical outages which was due to the fires and high winds. I hope your next visit will be even better! Take care, Alison

Nothing worked
Called ahead for crockpot. No crockpot. None of the recliners worked! Only one working pool stick. Someone came to our door one day before checkout and asked why we were still there. Out let master not working. Blinds in master were broke. Beautiful house needs tlc. Also bunk room next to garage FREEZING!

Hi Donna - I’m so sorry you had a bad experience as every time I checked in you told me everyone was having a wonderful stay. For future guests & you as well for reference if it helps: there is & was an insta-pot in the pantry, which I did mention to you. You have to plug in the recliners to make them work. Pool sticks - sometimes guests break them. I recently replaced 4 of them. The outlets work but you do need to turn the switch on, which I labeled. Bunk bed room can get cold but we have a space heater fireplace in there which works well when you turn it on. We make every guests as happy as possible and have all 4-5 star ratings on Airbnb.
Great property. Highly recommend for a few couples. The cabin is a bit geared toward kids, which we don't have, but if you do have kids I think it's perfect for you. The owner Alison was excellent! Great at communicating and getting us what we needed asap.

Thanks Barbra and we're so glad your group enjoyed your stay! Yes, we definitely made this a family-friendly cabin since we know how hard it can be to travel with kids. We certainly welcome & gear the cabin up for non-kid groups as well!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Avalon Rd cabin! What a great location and property. It met all of our needs...location, size, cleanliness, amenities, and great owners! The large main room was just perfect, allowing everyone to hang out, socialize, cook, and just enjoy our time together. The bedrooms are nicely appointed and having 3 1/2 bathrooms was a nice bonus. Thank you Alison and Chris for allowing us to enjoy your home away from home!

Thank you so much Jason and we’re so glad you enjoyed all the cabin amenities! We hope to host you and your group again in the future. Take care :)
My sisters and there husbands and I rented a cabin for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. Everyone was comfortable and truly enjoyed the beautiful home. It had all the amenities we needed. We loved the games, pool table, bar, spa, and all the TVs. The kitchen was beautiful and well equipped. We loved cooking all together and having the open concept so we could be with the whole family altogether whether they were playing pool or at the bar or in the living room watching TV. The home is decorated beautifully and very clean! The master bedroom was so comfortable! I even took a bath while watching TV with the fire on! What a treat! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Asher Family!

The property appeared just as depicted in the listing. The great room was very nice and we spent the majority of our time in that room. The kitchen was well stocked. Could use a large pan. And we didn't initially have trash bags and kitchen cleaner but they brought them to us right away when we asked. Our contract said checkin was 3 but Alison sent us an email saying we couldn't get in till 4 and then the house cleaner was still there till about 440. But the house was nice and clean and that's important these days. I was really happy that we hads all of the equipment for the billiard table. We played a lot. And the grill was excellent. The blender was very dirty so we couldn't use it. The neighborhood is very nice and in a very convenient location. It was great to have use of the garage but unfortunately the prior tenants had lost the garage door opener. That should be replaced right away as it is fairly inconvenient to walk up the stairs everytime you leave the garage. Ovrrall a very nice place and I would definitely recommend to a family or group of friends

About the host
Hosted by Alison Rubino
The Asher family purchased this mountain chalet in Feb. 2020. We live in Orange County with our 2 young son's. After staying in other rental homes in Big Bear, we realized that we wanted to make Big Bear a recurring trip with our family for years to come & that we could offer a better family friendly experience to travelers if we owned a home of our own. We have made many upgrades to this beautiful home including new bunk beds, all new quilts, linens, towels, cutlery, kitchen utensils, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, cooking wares, new safety features, children's items and other amenities to make this a truly memorable stay. We look forward to accommodating you and your group soon!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with "Avalon Retreat," from the moment we saw it and jumped at the chance to own this home and make it our own. We absolutely LOVE the Great Room and all the beautiful upgrades throughout the home. The floor-plan makes for a very comfortable stay with large groups.
What makes this property unique
Truly too many to list! We hope the photos can show you all the lovely details.
