Great cabin for a family vacation

The cabin was great and just as advertised. It made for a perfect vacation spot for kids and dogs. The host was helpful and quick with communication, and check-in and check-out was made simple with easy instructions to follow. The cabin was nicely decorated and the kids loved the squirrel theme throughout. Some special touches were the in-door smore maker, dog treats and dog bed for our 4-legged family members, and a nice fenced-in backyard where everyone could play. We made a lot of good memories on this trip.

Perfect Little Cabin with FENCED Yard for Pups...

We booked a getaway from Vegas to Big Bear and loved this tiny cabin. Old Cabin feel, but modernized with Wifi and AC. Comfy couches and a fully fenced yard for the pups. The owners go out of their way to leave little treats and toiletries and they provide a dog bowl and waterer. Great communication, easy check in and very accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend!

Loved our stay!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Nutty Squirrel cabin, which was super clean, had a complete kitchen, comfortable living areas, high quality linens all around, and was in a great location! It was a perfect size for a family of 4, and our kids loved the squirrel theme and playing in the backyard. The host Carolin was wonderful – communications with her were very pleasant and easy, and she was quick to respond to our questions. Thank you, and we would definitely stay there again!
