Location was perfect (1/2 mile from my best friend who lives in BB and who's birthday we were celebrating! We took advantage of all of the amenities; fire pit, hot tub, corn hole. The cabin was cozy and comfortable. We just had 3 of us staying there, but could very comfortably accommodate several more. The bed I slept in was very comfy. We cooked dinner both nights. The kitchen is roomy and had the basic cookware, but bring your own foil/tupperware for leftovers. Luckily my friend went to her house and came back with some items that we didn't think to bring (also spices other than salt/pepper). The owner, Dayma, was very communicative and accommodating. We hope we are able to book again for our next trip up the mtn!

First time in Big Bear

Our stay at gentle squirrel was awesome! As some of the first renters of this VRBO we found everything in working order and it was just right in terms of location to the lake, hiking and town. Would absolutely stay here again!

Just What We Wanted

This house was just perfect for our quick weekend away! Everything was great and the house and surrounding property were very clean and well maintained. The location was great as we didn’t want to stay “in town”. We hope to book again in the future!

Spacious Cabin

I had a wonderful, relaxing stay. This cabin is very roomy and very clean with so many amenities. From check in to check out everything was handled very professionally by the host that I felt so comfortable staying here by myself. It felt as if I was staying at a friends house. I recommend couples or families to stay here also as there is plenty of room with lounging areas for everyone. I was impressed by all the kitchen supplies that made it so easy to cook all my meals here. I will certainly be back.

Little piece of peace

My family had everything we needed for our cozy stay at gentle squirrel. The jacuzzi was a perfect way to end every night. The bon fire to make s’mores was quaint and lovely. The communication with the property manager was excellent. We spent our entire Christmas here. He loved it! Perfect for a family of four.

Clean and quiet

Dayma is a wonderful host. From the very moment we booked the property she was in communication with us. The property was well maintained and very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were very friendly. The completely fenced yard was wonderful for our dog daughter, She loved it. We will definitely be coming back.

Comfortable and cozy.

This was our second stay at the property. The house was spotless, cozy and comfortable. Our host Dayma was eager to please and even had the porch stocked with firewood. The new hot tub is beautiful, but due the weather we skipped using it this trip. We will definitely rent again. Thank you Dayma

Relaxing Family Vacation

Gentle Squirrel was so pleasant. Very clean, great extras: the hot tub, outdoor grill, WiFi, NetFlix access, etc. We were really looking for a place to feel like we were just lounging at home without the stress of knowing there were regular home owner responsibilities to attend to and it was definitely that! The kitchen was perfect for making meals and eating family style. We ate in more on vacation than we do regularly!! The location is close enough to town for runs to the grocery store or activities. Hosts were great communicators, even with recommendations for relaxing beach spots. I will definitely seek to stay here again next time I head to Big Bear.

My family and I really enjoyed our weekend at this very lovely home. The property was clean, spacious and had all the modern amenities to make our stay very comfortable. The jacuzzi also looked warm and inviting, but sadly we forgot our swimsuit and couldn’t use it. Oh well hopefully on our next visit! The place is centrally located in a nice, quiet neighborhood, near grocery stores, shops and restaurants. I like to add that our host Dayma was wonderful. She was very kind and sweet, communicated well, but was not intrusive at all. I highly recommend this place, and hope to be back again soon! Thank you
