Please plan accordingly, three cars are permitted to be parked in the driveway; there is no street parking or additional parking nearby. The driveway is paved.

Please note...there are cameras located at the driveway and entrances of the property. These are solely on the exterior of the property. Footage remains private and may be used for liability reasons and to monitor occupancy and other property policies. It in no way infringes upon the expectation of privacy in these public areas.

𝗦𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗔𝗟
Snow removal services are supposed to arrive within 24 hours of any snowfall more than 4+ inches, to clear the driveway and a pathway to the main entrance. Snow removal companies cannot guarantee a specific time the property will be serviced. Therefore, guests may have to shovel a spot to park if they arrive before the snow removal company or if it snows during their stay. There have been times in larger storms (2ft+ of snowfall) when snow removal can take longer. It doesn’t happen often, and our other guests have always been able to make it work. Just know that in those cases we are doing everything we can to get someone out there.

Perfect Get Away

The cabin was extremely clean and stylishly decorated. The yard was nice and large and the cabin is situated on a quiet street. Communication was always very prompt. We enjoyed our stay.

Great location and house

Great communication with property owner. Place is very cute and cozy and great neighborhood. Close to the village and great sledding areas. Would definitely stay here again. Only “issue” is no trash on site so have to drive 10 minutes to dump trash at dumpsters sites.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 January 2023
Alexis, thank you for your 5 star review. We love to hear that you found our cabin to be comfortable and that you loved the prime location of it to sledding areas and the Big Bear Lake Village. We loved hosting you and can't wait to host you again soon! Regarding the trash, Big Bear Lake requires ALL vacation rental guests to take their trash either home or to take them to one of the dumpster sites. We wish we could provide roll-away trash bins and have trash pick-up services but Big Bear Lake does not allow this type of service for anyone using their home as a vacation rental. It is not our rule but the City's.

Serene stay in perfect mountain home

My wife, 2 English bulldogs, and I had a perfect weekend enjoying this property and all Big Bear has to offer. The home has been upgraded in all areas but still has classic touches throughout. It's obvious the owners have a great eye for design and it makes for an incredibly relaxing stay. Check-in was easy and the hosts were on point with all communication. A big, fenced in, backyard was a big plus for us and the spa was perfect after a few days on the mountain. Close to everything, but away from the hustle, we spent mornings walking through the neighborhood under the trees. Thank you for sharing your home with our family!
