Nice time…

Looking for a cool get away from Phoenix and this place fit the bill. Clean, quiet and had everything needed to feel at home. Big Bear had a quaint downtown and a lot of things to do. Recommend the Big Bear Queen for a nice boat tour with a history of the man made lake.

Family healing. There were 5 adults a 10 year old and a service dog. The cabin was perfect for our m

The owner of the cabin is one of the nicest people I have dealt with. He is a terrific communicator and extremely caring. I would love to have him as a neighbor. The manager, John, was also a fast responder and very nice. A wonderful experience.

Overall a good stay

The cabin overall was pretty nice. The outdoor furniture in the front is not usable and actually destroyed, and the back patio furniture was pretty dirty and dusty, and the hammock was broken. The inside overall was good, I think the cabin needs a deep clean, there was dead flies and dust in the windows and a bit of an ant problem. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nice and accommodating. Overall I would recommend the cabin, but took a star off for the cleanliness

Thank you for the feedback, I looked on the camera and we had 2 squirrels rip apart the cushions right before your stay. I have replaced all the furniture and the hammock with brand new furniture. Thanks again for letting me know!

Amazing Property - Felt like home

I am going to make this short and sweet..... We absolutely loved the property. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, we had plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The awesome kitchen had everything we needed to cook some amazing meals and the living/dining area were perfect with the open concept layout. The outdoor space is nice too with a fenced in yard, grill, firepit and hammock for just relaxing. It really felt like being home. The area is nice too, although one neighbor had a dog that seemingly barked at everything. It's nice, quiet and not too far from the Village or other the main street that goes through Big Bear. We are 100% looking to book this place again if we go back to Big Bear. Also, the WIFI worked great!!

Why they chose this property

I chose Big Bear Lake because it’s such a peaceful and beautiful getaway. The stunning mountain views and the serene lake offer the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether it’s hiking in the summer, enjoying the fall colors, or cozying up by the fire in winter, there’s always something special about this place. I love the close-knit, friendly vibe of the neighborhood – everyone seems to know each other, and it truly feels like a home away from home. The outdoor activities are endless, and the natural beauty here is unmatched. It’s a place where you can relax, recharge, and experience all the best of nature.

What makes this property unique

My property stands out because of its perfect blend of comfort, style, and thoughtful design. From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the welcoming atmosphere, with a cozy, rustic feel and modern amenities. The living room offers a relaxing space with plush seating, a fireplace, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances, making it easy to prepare meals for your group, while the dining area provides a perfect space for shared meals and conversations.

The bedrooms are designed for ultimate comfort, featuring high-quality linens, soft pillows, and cozy bedding. The master suite offers a king-sized bed, plenty of closet space, and an en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventures. Other bedrooms are equally inviting, offering a restful retreat with natural elements and warm tones that reflect the beauty of the surrounding area.

Outside, the property offers inviting spaces for relaxation and recreation. Whether you're grilling on the back patio, enjoying a morning coffee, or soaking in the fresh mountain air, you'll find plenty of outdoor space to relax. In the winter, the area transforms into a snowy wonderland, and in the warmer months, there are endless outdoor activities to enjoy, including hiking, biking, and water sports.

What truly makes my property unique is how it caters to families, friends, and larger groups. The spacious common areas allow for easy socializing, while the private bedrooms offer quiet spaces to recharge. It’s a place designed to foster connection, relaxation, and lasting memories. With a prime location close to all Big Bear’s outdoor adventures, my property offers the ideal balance of convenience, comfort, and charm.
