From custom bathrooms that ensure the perfect shower to a brand-new hot tub, this cozy 2BR/2BA home invites you to hang up your coat and stay awhile. Named Lazy Bear Cabin, this home is ideally suited for a family with two kids and a dog. Beautifully remodeled, this retreat offers ample space to relax with a large back deck, two grills, a fire pit, and a front porch that can be completely gated off. You'll find the village, lake, marina, and slopes all close at hand.

Lined with brickwork, the living area offers comfy seating with a sleeper sofa and armchair. Watch shows on the 55in TV while the gas fireplace warms the space. The updated kitchen boasts a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a Viking microwave and gas range/oven. In the dining area, you'll find a 44in TV and a table that seats up to six.

This home sleeps four adults and one child. The primary suite has a California king bed, office nook, 44in TV, walk-in closet, and direct access to the deck. The en-suite bathroom boasts a walk-in shower. The second bedroom offers two twin beds, a 44in TV, and direct access to the deck. The guest bathroom also has a walk-in shower. Both walk-in showers have three showerheads and a diverter valve that ensures a constant/pleasant temperature. You'll also find grab bars and safety handrails in both bathrooms.

Take your pick between a gas and charcoal grill and throw a cookout on the large new deck. While dinner sizzles, relax in two chairs shaded by a large umbrella. Share meals at the four-person table. As evening falls, soak in the private hot tub or gather around the fire pit. Solar lights illuminate the deck, patio, and hot tub. Additional outdoor space includes a front porch with seating for five and a gate that can be completely closed off.

Our favorite Big Bear retreat!

We have stayed at this property twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed both stays. The property has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Plenty of room for the furry family members to run and play. The outdoor area is very spacious and perfect for enjoying the outdoors in the evenings. The mgmt team was very responsive to any questions we had. Can’t wait to stay again!

Nice but some issues

The kitchen is great and has everything you need to cook. The family room is cozy and comfortable. The beds are also very comfortable. You can tell there has been a lot of effort to make the house updated and comfortable from chargers by the beds, to available snow sleds, and cute cafe exterior lights. The back yard was also perfect for our dog. Unfortunately, the lower rating is because the game room was unusable because it smells like pet urine. The spa also has issues. On our first try it shut off after about 10 minutes of use. We called and it was quickly “repaired”, but was not working the following day. We called again and it was repaired again, but shut off again after about 10 minutes of use. Despite the effort on everyone’s part, the spa just ended up being a total bust. Since we booked the place because of the spa and game room, it was very disappointing. The heater broke as well and was out of service all day, but was finally repaired that night after a second call of concern to the management company. Vacassa was overall very responsive to our issues. It was just a bummer to have to call multiple times in a three night stay.

My new favorite property in Big Bear!

This cabin is a hidden gem. It had everything we were looking for. Walking distance to the Village and a lovely backyard for our fur baby. The house is very well equipped with modern upscale appliances. The Jacuzzi and firepit on the back patio was a real treat for our kids, we roasted marshmallows on the fire. Can't wait to go back!

Lazy bear cabin

House was great. A bathtub would’ve been nice for small children to bathe but bathrooms were nice. Communication with the property management was alright. Email did say face to face check in, but I didn’t realize you had to go into the office since it never provided an address. I figured just call or text the number when we were close. The numbers provided were customer service so of course waiting forever to get through to someone who doesn’t even work at the office. Once we checked in we got the code for the house, but it ended up only being for the garage so luckily we had time to get back to the office before they closed to get the house code. Todd in the office was helpful and even gave me his personal number if we needed after hours help. So really the only complaint I have was the Vacasa property management could’ve done better overall. I’d definitely stay at the house again though

Good cabin, bad cleaning

The cabin is nice and everything works fine. Vacasa's staff is super helpful and the check in process is very easy. The home wasn't very clean, housekeeping needs to work on this. The fridge was dirty and there was accumulated dust, pet hair and other debris behind every door. The unit in general had an uncomfortable musty smell. It wasn't a good first impression.

Perfect Family Home

The house was perfect for our family and we even brought our big dog who loved the backyard. The outdoor fire pit and sleds were perfect to use during while it snowed. We also used the indoor fireplace every night and watched movies. We liked having the option to watch TV in every room (even the dining room/kitchen) and both showers got super warm. The garage is fun for kids and a nice perk to have when you’re snowed in, we enjoyed the games, pac man machine and ping pong table a lot. The backyard was filled with snow by the second day and the sleds were a great option to have with the small slope to go sledding. We also liked that the home was more modern then most cabins you see and was very clean. 10/10 recommended, will definitely come back to this house soon!

A little Gem

Cabin was clean, prepped and had most of what we required cookware, utensil and dish wise. It’s best to bring your own paper towels as they don’t provide them, which is understandable. House has a nice game room, adorable step down living room set up with THE cutest little corner area of dog toys and cozy kitchen space made for a quaint mountain home away from home vibe. The back yard was a huge hit for our pups! Plenty of play space for them and the best set up for us Humans. Fire pit works super well and the jacuzzi was even better. It was snowing out, so we were a little concerned about getting in and out without freezing… the convince of its step down location just outside one of the bedrooms sliding doors and right off the deck, amazing. This neighborhood was the cutest and most convenient of my big bear stays to date. Short walk from the house you’ll find several eateries and liquor store. Alpine Slide is a short trek around the corner (although you wouldn’t know it from the serine silence, I’ll get back to that)If you’re up for walking a little farther , the village is just down the way from there. As I mentioned previously, the neighborhood is just wonderful. You wouldn’t know the Alpine slide or main road is just around the corner because it’s just so peaceful. I imagine we will be retuning to this property again in the future. Hopefully check in can be a little early. That’s the one bad part about turnkey so far. When you only have a couple days to escape to the mountain, you don’t want to waste majority of your first day basically living out of your car.

W used the fireplace a lot, and that was our only “minor” complaint! A little investment in the optics of th fireplace would be perfect! New log set and some embers would make this place absolutely perfect!

Family ski trip

Besides needing a good dusting of the blinds and ceilings fans, the place was just what we needed. We skied all day and spent the evenings in the hot tub and the game room. We would stay there again.

Great location in Big Bear

Cabin was just as described. My two boys loved the game room with arcade and ping pong table. They could use more board games but we had some from home. Kitchen was well equipped just needed more cleaning products, I had to get my own for dishwasher and counters. Beds comfortable and enough blankets. Great fireplace in the living room. Backyard was huge and jacuzzi amazing. Main concern was that the snow was not cleaned on time. The deck and stairs outside where very slippery. Firepit was buried on snow and tables and chairs. Me and my husband spend an hour digging and couldn’t turn firepit on. We contacted manager and apparently they send someone to fix it when we where not there but still couldn’t work. Again probably because was not kept covered from the snow. Overall great house and will stay there again.

Cozy, Comfortable Cabin

The house was perfect for my family’s Christmas getaway- there were four of us and we brought our dogs. House was cozy and well stocked. The yard was well fenced in and maintained. Little things around the house were thoughtful and helpful- motion sensing night lights, phone chargers by each bed, labels on the cabinets so you knew where everything was! You could see some signs where there was wear on the doors and vanities and some walls. And especially the carpet. I think one small thing that might help is changing out the bath mats and little rugs frequently but thankfully it is a property that accepts dogs so I’m sure this will happen anywhere. Would definitely recommend and come again. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Great house

We enjoyed this house for many reasons: first, great backyard. Fire pit, hot tub and fenced in yard was wonderful. I’ll add I’m always very skeptical about hot tubs, but this one was very clean and maintained. The communication with the property management company was great. There were a few issues upon our arrival, for example we didn’t have any kitchen trash bags and the wood floors needed more cleaning. They came out fairly quickly and addressed the issues. The game room is super awesome! We all spent a lot of time playing Pac-man and ping pong. The only reason I give this house 4 stars, is the carpet! It’s very soiled and either needs a major professional cleaning or better yet, replaced. I’ll mention we never had an issue with barking dogs. Overall this is a great house.

Good & Not So Good

This home has a lot of great things about it including the TV’s with Dish Network, the hot tub, fenced yard, firepit and BBQ. If you’re traveling with a pet, it’s perfect. The kitchen was well-equipped with nice appliances as well. Baths were OK but the twin beds were uncomfortable and too small for my adult kids in Bed 2. What was not so good, is the neighbor dogs (4 of them) barked all night, each night of our stay. And because there is no A/C in this home, closing all the windows was not an option. It made getting a peaceful night sleep totally impossible for all of us. So if you are looking for a relaxing place, this may not be it. I’m sure in the winter months, it’s less of an issue. The management company was very good but don’t count on early check in or late check out - their system is a well-oiled machine and they are strict with the 4pm and 10am timeframes. Hope this helps.

Awesome!

Loved our stay. Especially the convenience of the location for this cabin. Everything was pretty much walkable. Loved that we were able to bring our dogs with no issues, and that the yard was enclosed. Did get extremely hot in the house during the day, but the house fan at night is a lifesaver. Will definitely be staying here again.
