Hot Tub, Game Room, Mountain Views, Spacious 5BR Retreat Near the Slopes

  • Welcome to Wild Burro, hosted by Big Bear Lakefront Cabins

    “Feels like Montana! We watched the horses run and play from the living room, and a herd of wild burros stroll by in the distance. We felt like we got away this weekend, yet it was a quick trip into town and the lake. We will be back!” — Steven, October 2026

    Escape to Wild Burro, a spacious 4,200 sq. ft. log-style mountain retreat set on 2 private acres near the National Forest.

The house was beautiful.The driveway is kind of crazy, location was great. Master bedroom on the main floor was beautiful, but the bed was way too high for someone disabled, and I had to sleep in the bottom bunk bed across the hall. We stayed a week. The flooring has some issues soft in some places. We had a power outage because of the thunderstorm and had to use our own our own hotspot, in order to get the TV to work again once the power returned all and all it was good

This property has beautiful views and is peaceful. However, the access road coming off main highway was extremely poor. Also, couldn't get an adjustment on AC and it was extremely warm inside. Uncomfortably so which led to an early exit.

Beautiful Mountain Home

The home was in a great location. We had a few issues. It took hours to get a response from the management company. I was told yesterday that a manager would call and never heard back. Black flecks came from the water shower faucet in the bathroom downstairs. We could not use that shower. We tried to use the dryer and there several pieces of gummy candy stuck in the dryer. We cleaned it out but it was still sticky and slimy. A large plank board was loose on the outside of the deck. This is a danger to guests and should be fixed.

Amazing stay

Unbelievable customer service. We were in a pickle with a rental that we had to get out of. Last minute, we were able to book this place for our family Christmas. The accommodations made to ensure we could get in and “save the family Christmas” was really increasingly. Very responsive and accommodating! The house had everything we needed, lots of space and incredible views. Fun for kids and pets. Great views from the jacuzzi. Very clean and welcoming. Thank you for helping us make amazing memories!

GREAT CHOICE

My family and our friends had such a fun time here! The view is amazing and the donkeys running around were so cute! Property was clean and welcoming. The pool table did have a small hole in felt but was still fun! Hot tub was amazing! The only downer was it was sometimes hard to go in and out of property because of a private gate so you had to take long way around most times. The property management people were SO nice and accommodating! We even had a medical emergency and they were so flexible with us! I would Definitely come again and recommend to anyone!

More of a Ranch Than Lake Vacation

Good space for larger family gatherings. Not being allowed to use the gas fire pit was disappointing, but the hot tub was welcome, especially since lake swimming was not inviting at all. The lake is extremely low and green. The road into the property was nearly not usable unless you have four wheel drive vehicles. We were rescued by a local who allowed us access through the private gate on the navigable dirt road. The wild burros were noisy, but really enjoyable to watch, as were the horses. The setting was away from the busyness of the village, but realitively close to services.

Ok, could use some work

Missing a few items, no oven mits, some of the upkeep was questionable. One of the lights in the bunk bedroom started smoking and got very hot. Access is also off a dirt road, there wasn’t snow when we went, but had there been access for non 4x4 vehicles might be questionable. The upstairs beds were all fine, but both the downstairs ones were hard as a rock and could use being replaced. Other than the few issues we all had a great time and it was a fine place to stay.

Rough and Ready

This property is at the end of a long dirt road that is in rough shape. The property is rough around the edges, but everything was in working order. The steam shower in the main bedroom was great. Hot tub was nice and clean. Set up and check-in was very cumbersome. They required check in at a third party location and would not give anyone in my party a code and wouldn't allow me to add a secondary person to the listing. I had to change my travel plans to get there early. Trash: They also make you take the trash off site 8 miles away. They also sent me about way too many emails to get setup. They need to dial in their paperwork.

Wild Burro - close to the slopes.

This property was a long way out of town. There was enough room for a big family. Sadly, the pull out couch was unusable. Thank goodness we brought an air mattress! One bed frame was broken and we had to lay the mattress on the floor. A rung was missing on the stair banister. We had to block it off so our disabled granddaughter would not fall through it. Couldn’t use the pool table. So wobbly!!! Leak in roof in dining room. No hot water in one of the showers. Don’t plan on getting in house around 4 pm! Couldn’t get in til almost 5:30! Furniture old and worn. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it and we won’t be back.
