An Absolutely Perfect Stay!

We stayed for 3 nights in this cabin and our entire group loved it! It is spacious, yet cozy and has everything you could possibly need. You can tell the owners have put so much thought, care and love into every detail. The hot tub was a lovely treat after skiing and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need for cooking meals. We will definitely be back!
Response from VrboOwner on 10 February 2024
From the owner: "Thank you for your kind words and we truly love our cabin as you do. It has brought us great joy to spend time with our family every season. We all enjoy cooking and are glad you also had cozy dining times with your family. Come back any time!"

Great getaway for families

It was great having the property fenced in so the kids could play in the snow and being so close to the snow tubing place. The beds were comfy with plenty of blankets. The cabin was very clean and the owner was very responsive. Kitchen was well stocked with every appliance and pan you could need. Loved the hot tub too! Very clean ! Definitely recommend this home in big Bear!!

This house is fantastic! The only reason I couldn’t do 5 stars is due to the mattress in the queen room. Needs an upgrade!

The Perfect Cabin

Everything was wonderful. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. It was so close to everything yet in a tranquil setting. I loved sitting outside watching the birds and squirrels. The cabin was roomy and just one story which I loved. The host was so thoughtful and the whole cabin contained so many thoughtful touches. They had thought of everything! This will be our go-to cabin next time we are planning a trip to Big Bear.

From the owner: "Thank you for your kind words, and we eagerly anticipate your next visit. Our front yard is a bustling scene with variety of bird species frequenting the feeder, while the playful banter between squirrels and bluejays provides entertaining daytime drama. We can't wait to welcome you back soon!"

Perfect Home away from Home

This family home was the perfect place for our Big Bear snowboarding adventure! It is conveniently located just off Big Bear Blvd and Summit Road for easy close access to Snow Summit. This was especially helpful since the upper parking lot was full every day so we got dropped off. The house is very comfortable and has just about everything you would want in a vacation home. The owner was very responsive to our inquiries and very helpful. We're grateful for this family sharing their family home! Thank you!
Response from VrboOwner on 23 April 2024
From The Owner: "We are happy our cabin made your Big Bear trip a success. Being close to Summit is a bonus and even though the upper lot was full, I am glad you were able to get dropped off. We look forward to your return next snowboard season or even sooner when the summer sun is perfect."

Wonderful cabin. Tons of extras. Nice location. Only issue was TV. Could only get select stations. TV went off on its own several times a day. Was hard to find shows.

TV and Internet service and connection can be a problem in the mountains and is out of our control, nonetheless, we apologize for the TV inconvenience.
