The street itself is quiet and residential, lined with tall pines and classic Big Bear cabins. It's the rare combination of being close to everything while still feeling tucked into the mountains. From the cabin you can catch views of Big Bear Lake through the trees — especially beautiful at sunset.

8/10 Good

Steve M.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Overall the property met my expectations. The location is great if you want to frequent the towns shopping and lake activities. The driveway is steep and surrounding yard area is not easy to navigate. Plan on only being in the cabin. The exception is the patio, this was very nice and where we spent most of our time.

4/10 Poor

Andrew G.

Liked: Check-in, location

Could use some TLC.

PROS: The location (walking distance to the Village), the "backyard" was an open hillside, good for sledding and/or hiking, decently priced. CONS: could not get the hot tub to heat above 78 degrees, quite a few of the electrical outlets did not work, laundry hook-ups but no laundry (washer/drier were on the driveway area), the interior was old and worn (several places were held together by tape, no snow shovel available.
