We stayed here with in-laws, a total of 9 of us, and there was more than enough space to spread out and be comfortable. The outdoor space was amazing, we kept finding new areas each time we went out. The basement was awesome for the older kids to hangout. We hope to make this a tradition.

We stayed here with our large family (8 people total) and had a great time. Plenty of space for everyone, and the home was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. Kim, the host, was very responsive to our questions.Location was also great as we were between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear and had easy access to both. Thank you!

Best property we have stayed in

The owner calls it "Safe Haven"- truly feels like a welcoming home. So much space for groups, or large family: enough spaces for anyone who wants alone time in nature. Property backs to the Forest and is the last house on the street, amazing parking. We were so comfortable the entire trip

Great time at Safe Haven Retreat

We had a group of friends and family in town to attend my nephew's wedding. The space was perfect for us as we had enough room for everyone including bathrooms. Kitchen is fully stocked and ready for cooking. Our host Kim was very responsive and assisted with a few questions right away. Great spot for large group.

It is well stocked with pans, cooking spices, coffee supplies, paper goods, etc. We enjoyed the location as we had no one very close to us and the property has trails and walking paths.

This was our families 8th stay at the cabin!! And we are already planning for the 9th!! If you are a family with kids you will appreciate not having to go anywhere for snow play, hiking, sledding and so much more! This yearly trip is a tradition for our family. We LOVE the cabin and how attentive Kim is in making sure we are enjoying ourselves.

Perfect family vacation

The owner got back to me right away with any questions. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with A coffee bar and all the kitchen items we needed. The yard is super fun with lots of areas to explore and fun things for kids to do, like a little tiny Zipline, a pond, a teepee. And we loved the big family area that had plenty of room for all of us to visit. Perfect!

What a fantastic house and property. Kids and adults had a great time and Kim the owner was very responsive throughout the entire process. The email with the door codes didn’t send like it was automated to do and Kim replied instantly to get it for us. My family cannot wait to get back up there. 2.5 acres with the National Forest as you back yard for the weekend was the change of pace my family needed.

Excellent Family Retreat

The house was great and perfect for large groups. There were plenty of beds and restrooms to accommodate our group. I was worried reading some of the reviews about cleanliness but the house was clean when we arrived. The outdoor area is the best part of the house. There were plenty of activities for the kids and a lot of space for snow play and sledding. We also enjoyed the space to walk around and take in the outdoors. Kim was also very friendly and easy to communicate with. I can’t wait to come back.

Thank you

Our overall experience was amazing going to the town 4 min away, close to the lake with beautiful community, and such open space for our large family was what we needed. We got to relax and enjoy multiple small communities around the area, restaurants, pubs, and bakeries. The only thing that could of been better a good power wash outside tables and patio/porch since the outside was the reason why we loved this place. But again this place was perfect for our family. Thank you for leanding us your home for a weekend.

Kim is so welcoming and checks in a regular intervals to make sure everyone is enjoying their stay. Additionally, the house is incredible, even better than the photos. There are so many options for a large group for sleeping arrangements. We had a group of 12 as a scout troop. The girls loved the bunk rooms, and the adults had their own private rooms. The 5 bathrooms were such a luxury too. Plenty of seating for eating and hanging out. The basement was a wonderful option for the kids to have boisterous noise without overwhelming the house. Overall the trip was seamless and wonderful. If you have a chance to explore the property, it's huge and beautiful too. We plan on coming back when there is snow to x-country ski at Rim Nordic (which is only 15 mins away). However even without snow, there is a local tubing place - snowdrift tubing park- that is so awesome. They make snow and they are super friendly. The kids had a great time tubing- only 10-15 mins away from the house and we found a fantastic hike 15 mins away in the San Bernardino National Forest. This house is in a great location with all the amenities you would need to be comfortable. You can't go wrong choosing this house. Thank you Kim for a memorable and wonderful weekend.

Lots of potential

The property is large and beautiful, but there was a cleanliness problem. The oven was caked in grime and bathroom vents were caked in dirt and dust. Before bed we all had to wash our feet because walking barefoot in the house meant that your feet would be black by the end of the night. The hosts seem like very lovely people, and the property truly has a lot of potential, but my family and I couldn’t get past how dirty it was. There were also a few broken items that were listed — the mini zip line being one of them. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again unless there was a significant change how the cleaning is done. It’s a shame really because the property is so nice.
