This cabin was beautiful and was perfect for our annual family ski trip. The cabin is spacious, well equipped and has a view that cannot be beat. Extra bonus was being able to use the garage. We loved our stay!
Our stay at this Big Bear cabin was incredible! The views were breathtaking, and the cabin was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. The kids loved the play area, and the kids room was much more spacious than I expected. It was the perfect getaway, and we can’t wait to return!
Beautiful home with a breathtaking views. My family very much enjoyed our weekend getaway. Home is exactly as pictured and more. Beyond our expectations!!

Super nice, easy-going, clean, and respectful guests! Would definitely host again!
Beautiful Home. Pictures do not do it justice. It snowed the day of our arrival and it was just incredibly beautiful. Lots of snow play and quality time with the family.

Seriously better than we anticipated. Amazing home with gorgeous views of the ski resorts. The home was immaculate with upgraded modern luxuries and a great game space- not to mention the most incredible bunk room for kids. We enjoyed staying here and enjoying wine on the deck, making delicious meals in the gourmet kitchen and enjoying a much needed getaway! Can’t wait to go back!

Everything about our weekend stay was perfect. The management company went above and beyond with communication. They were so friendly and accommodating. The photos of the property don't do it justice. Absolutely stunning. The owners have done an amazing job with the decor. We will definitely be back.
The property was amazing! Clean, safe, and very modern. You can tell the detail the homeowners put into this house, stunning to say the least. The staff at SoCal Vacations were very professional and friendly. Quick responses to any of our questions or request. Will definitely come again!
This place was amazing! The pictures don’t do it justice and my whole family really loved the place!! Although it says not child proof, we were surprised and happy that the stairs had a gate that prevented my 1 and 2 year old nephews from going up and down the stairs. Very spacious and open! Love the balconies!!!

This is a wonderful rental property. The main open living room/den/kitchen has very high vaulted ceiling and windows looking out on slopes. You can make out people skiing from a distance. It is a beautiful view. The deck off the living room is very large. The grill did not work well but we made do. Everything else was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked. We loved the shuffle board table on the lower level. Everything is new and nice. Beds, laundry, TVs, etc. There are lots of DVD movies. All in all a great vacation place for a family. There were three couples and 4 children in our group. Everyone loved it.

The property was as advertised. Updated home with an open floor plan. Rooms were the perfect size for all of us. The views were awesome and it was a very convenient location to the ski resort. Only thing I request is that a dresser or armoire be placed inside the master bedroom because the closet was being used as a storage. Other than that there were no real issues with anything and are looking forward to staying here again.

My family and I wanted to have a weekend getaway for my husbands birthday and we are all so happy we found this place. The house, the views, everything about this place is breathtaking. None of us wanted to leave. The rooms are cozy, the kids LOVED the gameroom, the balcony had a view that other cabins dont have. I will rate this place a 20/10.
