Stunning property!

This property is stunning and has amazing access and views of Big Bear Lake! Lorri, the owner, definitely has pride in her property and ensures that all your needs are met before your arrival and during your stay. We were only able to stay 2 nights, but would 100% book this property again in the future! Thank you Lorri for the wonderful stay!

Paradise found in Big Bear!

What an amazing weekend we had staying at this beautiful property. Lorri's attention to detail shows throughout the interior and exterior of this home and the amenities make this the best rental we have ever stayed in at Big Bear. The outdoor heated cabana was a life saver on a chilly weekend and allowed us to spend a significant amount of time outdoors when we wouldn't have been able to otherwise. We definitely plan to come back in the warmer months to utilize the outdoor, resort style amenities the home offers. Truly worth every penny and we can't wait to return!!

The perfect cabin

We’ve stayed in big bear since I was a child and this cottage was just what we were looking for. Location was quiet-traveling with young kids they took their naps without any interruption and we got to enjoy the jacuzzi and lake views! The property was immaculately cleaned and check in was a breeze! We can’t wait to come visit again!

Great Vacation Spot!

This is a beautiful house on Metcalf Bay, minuted from the village and right around the corner from Halloway Marina. We loved our time here and look forward to coming back, the views are amazing and the dock, hot tub and fire pit are huge pluses. I had an amazing 50th birthday here and really enjoyed the spring mountain weather.

So Cozy and Comfortable

We’ve stayed at Lorrie’s place a few times so far. It’s our favorite place on Big Bear Lake. The view is breathtaking, the Cottage is perfect for a smaller group. Everything you need is provided. The manager Pandora meets you there to answer any questions you might have, and is very welcoming and helpful. Lorrie, the owner, is very responsive before and during your stay. Highly recommend you book this wonderful place.

Weekend get away

My wife and I were so blessed to stay here! Lori is a great host with excellent communication. Pandora was so sweet to us. She showed the entire place explaining all the details. The view of the Lake is so beautiful, the cottage was super clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the spa, fire pit and we were able to relax and see God's beautiful creation! Inside was also super nice. It was a great weekend get away and would love to return.

Lake Life!

Our family of 7 enjoyed our stay at the big bear lake house. Kids liked the small sandy beach and enjoyed swimming in the lake. Fishing off the dock was great. The house itself was clean and cozy. The jacuzzi was perfect for four adults. Definitely recommend for a summer getaway!

Relaxation Station

We came for a few days of just straight relaxation after a busy year beginning. Pandora showed the ropes and after that was just beautiful views from the deck/ patio/ and sun room. It was mostly quiet in the neighborhood besides some local home renovations. Lots of birds and chipmunks to watch. The spa was relaxing and the same views were seen from there. Master bed was a bit firm for me but the wife slept just fine. Would do it again.

Sister's 60th birthday celebrations!

I can't say enough about this property. The cottage was beautiful and cozy and had everything we needed. We kayaked, played corn hole, and enjoyed relaxing around the fire pit watching the boats go by and taking in the serene sunsets. The lake view was simply spectacular! Our host Lorri was so friendly and easy to communicate with and her check in host Pandora made sure our stay was perfect. We'll definitely be back...we already miss it!

We love this place!

We have been multiple times and it gets better each time. Love that they have 3 different sized kayaks to choose from now. Great location, right on the lake with great sunset views. Close to the vial page too. Lorri is a great host and takes care of us each time. There was a slight issue that was out of her control but she fixed it right away and made it right. My only complaint is that it’s not available enough for us to stay more often haha!

Great family getaway

Spent Labor day weekend with family and kids. Weather in the 70s and sunny. Enjoyed both levels of patio overlooking the lake. Even though it was a holiday it was not too noisy on the lake. Beautiful sunsets. Hiked Castle Rock Trail to lake, (3 hrs round trip). House has many little nooks in which to sit and read a book. Bocce set and games are provided. We were not even tempted to watch TV. A Great way to get away from it all.
