Respite and Total Relaxation
This perfect cabin in Big Bear was the best place to stay during my family’s transition from selling our home to moving into our new one. We could not have asked for a more well appointed cabin. Beautiful views, great walks with our Australian Shepherd, and easy access to all that we needed and wanted. Brent, our host, made everything easily available to us. Thank you so much! We truly extend our heartfelt thanks for such a wonderful adventure!

Cozy House!
We are a family of 4, and 2 dogs. We found the house to be cozy and comfortable for our brief stay. The location was great, as it was just far enough out of town to be away from the crowds, but quick enough to get to the Village when you wanted to be there. The house had exactly 4 plates, and they were smaller than dinner plates. We were able to make do as we only cooked breakfast and a few simple dinners, but more plates would have been nice. The home has what appears to be a brand new dishwasher, but not enough dishes to warrant running it. The hot water heater wasn’t big enough to allow 4 people to shower consecutively. We have a hybrid electric vehicle, and it would have been nice to be able to plug it in at the property, but there was no outlet. In spite of those small issues, we would definitely book a return visit!

Relaxing getaway in Boulder Bay
0ur stay was perfect at the cabin. Brent made the check-in process easy. We spent our mornings on the expansive wrap-around deck. The property is near Boulder Bay park so it's a short and easy walk with the dog. We enjoyed nearby trails for morning hikes and restaurants in the village for dinner along with cooking steaks on the BBQ at the cabin one evening. The cabin was immaculate and the location is close to everything. We'll be back!

Relaxing Cozy Getaway
Brent, our host greeted us and made us feel right at home. The Cabin is remodeled to perfection. Everything you need is there. We loved the peace and quiet and coziness in every room. Our favorite amenity was the wrap around porch with the barbecue. The views are spectacular, especially with a cup of coffee sitting in the rocking chair. Our little dog loved chasing the squirrels. A short block is the lake with picturesque park for dog walking and meeting others. Yes, we loved the whole experience. We will be back.

Modern cabin with rustic charm
This cabin was perfect for our family of 4, plus 2 dogs. The entire home has lots of natural light, comfortable seating and all the basic amenities. All appliances and plumbing are in great working condition. The decor is fun and the huge stuffed bear looking over the living room was a family favorite! The telescope was fun to use each night and even during the day. The location is a short walk to Boulder Bay Park. Our dogs prefer grass to handle their business so we made many visits there during our stay. Overall, we were very satisfied with our recent visit to Big Bear.
