We stayed for a HS reunion and we’re absolutely thrilled with our property and stay! The home was spotless and beautifully decorated as well as comfortable and spacious! We will be back!
My husband and I really enjoyed this property. The fully fenced back yard made it great for us to be outside with the dog and not have to worry. The hot tub was a big plus. Communication with the property management was great. Would definitely book this place again.
Our overall experience was amazing to say the least, when the kids say we don’t want to go back home that pretty much says it all. The cabin was very clean and spacious.It had all the amenities any one could ask for. A plus for us.
We had an amazing stay at this cabin in Big Bear Lake with our family of four this past weekend. We arrived just in time for a good winter storm, and the fresh snow made the whole trip feel magical. The cabin itself was well-equipped with everything we needed and was very comfortable for our family. The kids loved playing in the snow right outside, and the cozy atmosphere inside made it the perfect place to relax after a day of winter fun.The grounds were well-maintained, and the service was exceptional — the hosts were responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The only small downside was that the master bed was quite firm for our liking, but that’s just a personal preference. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend for a cozy and family-friendly winter getaway!
Significant cleanliness issues. Dog poop in backyard, dirty tissues in bedrooms, missing smoke detectors and absolutely bare minimum supplies including 1 single roll of paper towels?
It was great until the power was shut off on the 2nd night due to high winds in lower altitudes. Power was shut off at 9 pm o 2nd night and was still out the next morning so we left
House was clean but lighting was not as good as it should have been. The dining room table and living room were very dark and needed brighter light bulbs. Too dark to read or see what you’re eating

Great location, clean, very roomy!
This was a great place for a family with a dog to stay. Super close to town, easy parking and very comfortable living areas. However if there are some suggestions I can make please, please change the mattress in the master bedroom it is like sleeping on concrete it’s miserable. We ended up on air beds! Also please add a few cooking items like a cooking sheet or some measuring cups, kitchen cooking supplies are very limited making it hard to cook. Also if possible it would be great to have actual cable TV on one TV. I would love to rent here again if these few simple things could change. Great yard and jacuzzi but jacuzzi could be a little cleaner as jets ran some brown foam on the top.
What we loved: This cabin is pretty much as described. We were there with our teenagers and dogs and the space worked perfectly for us. The inside has a large common area with the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The fireplace is gorgeous and the kitchen is well-appointed with new appliances and great counter and pantry space. There is a big fenced backyard that has a BBQ, outdoor table and chairs, and lots of room for your pups to stretch their legs. The steps down to the back yard are a little steep--a bit difficult for anyone who has mobility issues. The cabin is an easy drive (10 minutes or less) to Big Bear Mountain skiing and features like the Alpine slide and Big Bear Lake village.
What could be better: the greeting from the property management staff was not exactly warm when we arrived, but they got the job done and check-in went smoothly. The cabin was very clean, but the hot tub needed a little work--it required some skimming to get debris off the bottom, which isn't a big deal, but for the money this cabin costs, isn't something I wanted to be responsible for. Also, the propane tank on the BBQ was empty and we were told we could either bring the tank to them for a refill or go to the market and have it filled and they would reimburse us. Again, not a huge deal, but not something the renter should be responsible for. Lastly, the light switches were a little confusing, but we figured them out.
Overall, this is a really pretty cabin in a great location. It was comfortable and had tons of ammenities. We had a great weekend!
