Jill was an excellent host, she was easy to communicate with and responded to our needs quickly. I appreciated the notes and detailed intructions she had availalble. The house was equipped with everything we needed for our short but sweet stay. The house was clean, tidy and our family felt at home. This trip was a famly Christmas Gift and we made cherished memories. So glad we found the Dancing Bear and we hope to return!

Thanks for staying with me Mayra. You were great guests, very respectful and easy to communicate with. I hope all the information I provided helped you enjoy your stay. As far as the hot water goes, that’s mentioned in my information packet I sent prior to your stay. While we have a full sized water heater, it has to work a little harder than normal in the mountains when it’s 17 degrees outside. I hope you and your family will come back soon! Jill & Family

Perfect place to celebrate our 25th with family

We loved every minute! The home is open and light and bright. Driveway is flat and wide which makes it easy to get in and out even on snowy days. The yard is open and lovely. We had so much fun playing out back! Easily accessible to ski area. We loved that we could all be together, but had plenty of space! Thank you! We will be back!!!

Perfect family cabin!

We had an amazing time in this beautiful, spacious home. The location is perfect; close to town, close to Bear Mountain. We loved the hill behind the home. It is just steps to all day sledding fun! We never had to leave the house! The big yard was perfect for building snowmen and snow forts. Jill was amazing to work with. She was in constant communication and makes you feel like family. We will definitely be back!

This home is absolutely amazing!

We couldn't a more perfect place to have our group event. This home is spacious, beautifully decorated, it has amazing views of the hills, the kitchen area and living room area face each other, indoor and outdoor hallways to put your gear on, cozy fireplace, it was the perfect set up to entertain and cook yummy foods. The process was incredibly easy, Jill is an amazing renter/owner, took care of our every question from beginning to end of out trip. They also have a second home on the same street, which we also rented, since our group was so large. Thank you so much again guys for allowing us to stay at both of your beautiful homes. :D We look forward to coming back! :)

Lifetime memories

From start to finish, this cabin is perfect in every way. Jill was spot on in making our yearly trip to big bear as perfect as can be. She helped with the little details that would make our experience as fun and smooth as possible. She was always quick to respond if I had any questions. The cabin itself was perfect for our family getaway. The main room had an open concept that allowed the adults to talk and play games while the kids played in the living area. Everyone was together! Bedrooms exceeded my expectations with space and comfort. Bathrooms were perfect and accommodating. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a crowd. The backyard area was a dream. Kids spent the day sledding on the hills and we were really lucky to get a magical snowstorm that made the trip a dream. A trip we will never forget! Thank you Jill! Ready for next year!

Awesome backyard for sledding!

We stayed at Jill's cabin for a family trip with my in-laws and we had a great time. All the kids loved playing in the snow and the backyard hills were perfect for sledding! During our stay it snowed and really was a winter wonderland. It was also really nice that the cabin was pet friendly, we love taking our dog with us on trips!

The perfect family vacation home. Extremely close to bear mountain. Very clean.

We had an amazing time at the dancing bear. The owner was very accommodating and communicated extremely well. The home was very clean and was stocked with everything needed to cook meals. The single story open layout of the home was perfect for two families with small children. The kids enjoyed sledding in the backward, and bear mountain resort was conveniently close. We highly recommend this home and the home owner 100%, and we will definitely be back.

Spacious and Cozy Cabin

We had a great weekend in Jill's beautiful cabin. The open floor plan of living room & kitchen along with high ceilings really opens up the cabin and allows everybody to have space without feeling packed in. Amenities and decorations were perfect for a Big Bear cabin; it almost felt like home :). Jill was a great communicator and very pleasant to work with - she was very reasonable and always responded quickly. Very nice back patio with a BBQ and open area to play/sled. Overall we had an amazing time and would love to come back again. Thanks Jill!

About the host

Our family.....

Why they chose this property

We bought our original home in Big Bear in 2003. It has kept our family close - it is a blast to be on the mountain or on the lake with my family...

What makes this property unique

Our home was built in 2005. This spacious 1800 sq home is located in Moonridge area in Big Bear Lake, California. It has all the amenities you would ever need. Walking distance to Bear Mountain ski slopes, the Moonridge Zoo. We extended our back deck the full width of the home - it is huge. Plenty of space to relax. We have an open field in the back for building a snowman, a gorge right there for sledding. No need to pack up the kids and pay for snow play ...just walk off the back deck!
