Dixie Cabin Vaca

Check in was easy and we were even able to check in early. It had all the essentials needed for cooking, (cooked a few meals in) the king bed was nice & comfy. We loved the hot tub and the fence for our fur baby (our dogs name is Dixie, just a funny coincidence) & the temp cooling unit were both great amenities to have. We also enjoyed that it was in a very quiet neighborhood. We would recommend to others

Relaxing in Big Bear.

This cabin was close to everything, yet quiet and very comfortable for our stay. Fully stocked kitchen, and other rooms with anything you'd need. Any questions were answered almost immediately. Appreciated the clean spa. Able to walk my dog around the area, with only 1 unleashed, but friendly dog, confronting us. Even enjoyed the surprise hail storm. Would love to return when we are able, if it's available.

The host is friendly and very responsive. The cabin works great for two adults and a dog. The location is great! Close to beaches, fishing pier, parks, provisions, restaurants, and shops. The neighborhood is mostly quiet. Cabin has good fans and plenty of lighting. All necessities are there plus a number of amenities. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and the driveway to enjoy the fresh cool air.Upon arrival, the kitchen, bathroom and floor had been cleaned, but there was a layer of black dust on all other surfaces. I had to spend an hour cleaning. A good cleaning job from the rafters down and a coat of paint on all the doors, the woodwork and the deck will enhance the cabins appearance. Also, we suggest a deadbolt on the back door. Bathtub needs a non-slip bathmat. Those with difficulty walking may find the nearby incline of the road a challenge.

Wonderful Spot

This property was a really cute place for my two friends and I visiting the area. You can walk to the lake from the house! The home sits at the top of a little bit of a steep incline, so chains or winter tires are helpful when it snows. We loved grilling and spending time in the hot tub. The only thing I want to give a heads up about to others is that the grill ignition is not functioning, so you must use a lighter to light the grill. We also had a hiccup with no hot water in the shower, but the hosts were super quick to get the maintenance man out there, and he fixed it while we were out in the village!

When we arrived everything seemed fine. Then when I was barefoot walking my feet were so dirty! Why you might ask? Because the floor was filthy dirty.
