Cool house in Big Bear

We had a great time at this house during our latest stay in Big Bear. It matched the description perfectly and the property manager/owner was kind, fast and helpful when we needed her during our stay. The cabin was very cool temperature wise which is a plus in the mountains. Thank you for a pleasant stay, we look forward to returning.

Great trip!

If you are looking for a kid/ family friendly location, this is it! The house is adorable and the kid room kept our kids occupied when it was too cold to be outside. The property manager/ owner of the house was very kind and always available. When we ended up getting stuck due to weather they extended our stay so we wouldn’t be out, trying to figure out what to do with our young kids. Would highly recommend!

Perfect for a family with little ones!

We stayed in this cabin for our first family trip to big bear! We had three 5 year olds and a 6 month old. This was the perfect place for them, beds for everyone and tons of games to keep them busy. We came prepared with snow clothes for the kids but they actually had snow gear you could borrow if needed. That’s so thoughtful! Check in and check out was easy peasy. We went to explore the downtown area and it wasn’t too far of a drive at all. Definitely recommend!

Family vacation

The people we rented from were easy to contact when we needed something. They had all toiletries available which was nice so we didn't have to travel with them or purchase them. The house was very nice and clean. The only issue we had was that you can't be in the hot tub after 10 pm. We were gone all day and by the time we got back to the house it was too late to get in plus it was too hot to get in it during the day.

Super cute home, but plumbing and heating systems need an upgrade

Pros - the house was super cute, the property owner was easy to reach, very nice and easy to work with, the kids playroom and all the games provided were AWESOME! Cons - a slight plumbing problem (the guest bath had a constant drip) and the sounds of the heating system kept a few of our guests awake throughout the night. Those who slept in the front bedrooms had to keep their doors open, so the sounds of the dripping bathtub and the heater kept them awake. They tried closing the door the second night, but their rooms got cold as the heat is primarily in the hallways and in the main living areas. Even with the cons above, we all still had a great time and the kids room was the place where we all loved to congregate and bond.

Family friendly stay

This property is great for young children. Our kids (ranging from 2-10) LOVED the playroom and bunk beds. It kept them very entertained. House was clean. Bathrooms have been updated. The communication I had with owner was responsive-no issues. If I had to offer anything constructive I would note that for large parties there was not enough towels, hand towels etc no problem for us because we brought our own. We like to eat so we felt there were some essentials missing- mixing and serving bowls (salads, sides etc) just comforts we enjoy and wish we had. The other thing is that there are outdoor cameras front and back. Totally understand the need for an owner to have but I felt a bit uncomfortable having the cameras in the back where we were hanging out-it was uncomfortable for me personally. I did rent knowing there were cameras. Overall great family place!!

We would absolutely recommend to families and large groups.

We had a great visit to Big Bear! The place was very clean and smelled great when we checked in. Felt like staying in a huge hotel. Check in was simple and we were given an extra hour at check out. The host was very easy to communicate with and very responsive. The house was well stocked and well taken care off. We were left a goodie basket of snacks, oatmeal, waters, hot chocolate, coffee and mixings and wine. Fully stocked kitchen, cable tv, board games and kids toys. Our kids had the best time and can’t wait to return here! We enjoyed the spa and fire pit very much and so grateful for the experience.

LOVE IT!

We stayed here for a short get away with the family and we loved it. It is an older home but it’s very well kept and you can tell they’ve been doing upgrades. We don’t ever expect a home to be perfectly put together especially as a rental but this exceeded our expectation. The kids LOVED the bunk/game room, the house felt very cozy for us and I feel like they had every small appliance our ‘speciality item’ we needed and more. We have family that lives close by that came over for dinner and there was plenty of space with the extra table and chairs provided. I love the shabby/farmhouse decor too. The house is off a main road but is tucked back. My 2 and 5 year old had a great time playing outside with no issues. It’s close to downtown and the groceries were convenient. The host is very gracious and responsive. We’ll be back for sure.

Inaccurate listing

Don’t just rely on reviews, do your own homework! This is the lesson we learned. 1. sqft is missing from the listing. Zillow shows 1,540 sqft which is much smaller than other 4 bedrooms rentals. Living room, kitchen and two guest bedrooms are very small. The dining table can only accommodate 6 people. The floor plan is weird. 2. The house is very close to Greenspot Blvd (highway 38). We can hear traffic noises in the late night and early morning. 3. The location is in Sugarloaf. It can take about 30mins to drive to major grocery stores like Vons when traffic is bad. 4. The house rules are NOT kid friendly. No jumping on the bed. No food or drinks in the game room. 5. Guest bedrooms can be really cold in the night. The heat can not go into those rooms as the space heater is in the living room. Even tried the tips from host by keeping bedroom doors open, it does not help much. 6.There are chips in the bathtub (not showing in the picture) which can use some upgrades.

The kids played games all day that were supplied here at the house. There is nothing the host left out. It's like you we're at a 5 star hotel. All supplies were there.

It was a great time, we went to big bear for my mother-in-law’s birthday just to spend some time out of the city and really just relax with each other in the home, it was a great experience being so close to everything in town just a short drive and we were able to have fun at the Alpine slide park and get lunch and dinner from nearby businesses.

Easy to find, host was super helpful. Everything was ready for us and I immediately wished we’d brought more people because there is so much room and so many beds. Speaking of the beds, so comfy. I stayed in bed so long and didn’t want to leave. Would have been nice if there were snow, but it was July so… : )

About the host

Hosted by Mandy Rami and Darla Wood

Host profile image
My family and I live in Southern California and love traveling to Big Bear. We decided to get a home away from home in the area but feared it sitting empty in the woods for too many days in a row. We heard about VRBO and thought that would be a great way to share our cozy place with others that are visiting and keep the home from being vacant. We are not professional renters, we are not a hotel, we are full time employed working individuals that just hope your group can love our place as much as we do! We try to make updates and improvements every time we stay and think of something that could make it better. We also know how hard traveling with kids is, so we tried to stock the place with all the amenities a family with children need when out of town and all the cleanliness and modernization of a hotel.

Why they chose this property

We chose this place because of the large lot, location being close to everything but not too close to get stuck in the weekend traffic, and for the large home. We like to travel with multiple families and really wanted a place that could comfortably accommodate groups over 10 and have things to keep the kids busy while the adults hung out. We feel this place is PERFECT for that. Room to park up to 6 cars, room to comfortably sleep 13 people and lots of fun upgrades for kids and adult! Come enjoy the hot tub and level 2 EV charger.

What makes this property unique

We really try to make our place special with a welcome gift and wine upon arrival, a fully stocked kitchen, amenities for kids, a game room, bikes to ride for all ages, outdoor games, and the most comfortable sheets on the most comfortable pillow top beds.
