Spacious, well organized home in great location of city with easy access to sights. Family enjoyed the layout of home and large table to play evening games. Loved that it was pet friendly so we could travel with our pup. Would definitely stay here again. Many memories made, thank you!

Home away from HOME
From the minute we hit the driveway, we felt cozy and warm. The added decor to this beautiful home made all the difference and will be the reason we book again and come back! I especially loved the fall decor as we live in AZ and do not get any type of fall ambiance in our daily lives. This home was so lovely and I would live there if I could, I did NOT want to leave! Coming back to the heat was so hard. We will be telling everyone about this hidden gem in the mountains. Thank you for making our vacation so special! The Schimetz Family :)

Amazing Big Bear Cottage!
This was our first time visiting Big Bear Lake and the cottage was perfect for my family of 4. The house was immaculate and had all the necessities we needed to have a comfortable stay. The location was perfect and close to The Village for shopping and dining. The Lake and Amusement Park was less than a 10 minute drive. The jacuzzi was an added plus and very relaxing after our eventful day of exploring the town. We will definitely be back again! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
