Great property for a family vacay!

We enjoyed this cabin for or my father-in-law’s 70th birthday! We had 4 adult couples, 2 kids & plenty of space to spread out! We enjoyed the easy 5 mins walk to the lake, the very well stocked, spacious kitchen & all the games & amenities to keep the family busy. We also rented a pontoon boat for a couple hours one day & only had a 5 min drive to the Big Bear Marina. We really enjoyed this cabin & will be back!
