Nicely decorated home in a great location near the lake. Lovely relaxing backyard has a hammock and horseshoes. My husband, adult son and I spent two nights here and found it super convenient to the marina and all the shops and restaurants. (Tip for future guests: light switch for the light above the kitchen sink is tucked away behind the coffee maker. It took us forever to find it!)
Great property for a family! It's centrally located to all of Big Bear's venues. Close to it's main street and Boulder Bay park. Excellent house!Thanks again Lori and crew!
My husband and I were really excited about getting away for a little birthday weekend with our two dogs. We knew we wanted a cabin that had air conditioning since the weather was going to be in the mid 80âs. Under the amenities this cabin lists air conditioning and there is nothing in the description that states otherwise. Upon arrival the internal cabin temp. was 80 degrees, but when we went to turn on the AC from the thermostat, there wasnât an option for it. When I sent a text to the property manager asking if the AC was broken, thatâs when I was told the house only had a window unit in the upstairs loft. When I mentioned stating the house has AC versus a window unit was misleading, and that other cabins with window units state it in the description. I was told they do state it, you just have to scroll past all the reviews, the amenities, the description, the map and suggested other cabins to consider, in order to see it. The house was 80 degrees every night.In addition to being mislead about the AC, the house looks neglected. Blinds donât function, holes in window screens, chipped paint and scratches on walls, patched walls that were never painted, old flat pillows and stained bedding, and you canât play any of the games in the closet because the majority of them are missing more than half of their components.The kitchen and backyard are nice and the house is pretty clean, but we unfortunately wouldnât stay here again. Itâs sad, the house has great potential.
We really wish we could give this stay a 5 star rating but we spent a lot of money for a one week stayâŠall to be spent dealing with issues. We have never had to leave a review short of 5 stars, but we felt it needed to be shared. There was a massive odor coming from the wall, which pest control came out to confirm but Lori took no action to resolve. She responded with âthe smell could not be identified, and we have not been presented with options.â Pest control couldnât identify because it was behind the wall. It was clearly a rotting animal but Lori chose not to do the required work to remove a deceased animal, but rather tried to blame us. So crazy! Upon arrival, there were toys scattered in the backyard, closets and drawers were a cluttered mess, and there were spider webs absolutely everywhere! We grew up in cabins and understand the cabin vibe, but there should be an expectation that a rental should be cleaned up for the next guests. The backyard was wonderful! Diego and Monique seemed wonderful. But Lori seems to be in it for the business aspect. Not for guests to enjoy their stay. Itâs unfortunate.
Amazing property, especially for dog owners. The cabin has an open layout and great kitchen with huge family table and all the amenities. Everything was clean and comfortable and so inviting for families. The backyard was a dream. We had so much fun playing jenga on the deck and horseshoes in the huge well landscaped yard that it safely fenced in. So pleased with this place.Hope to return again in near future!
We had a wonderful 4-night stay at this Big Bear cabin. The property was spotlessly clean with a spacious backyard that was perfect for our Great Dane - truly pet-friendly with plenty of room to roam.Check-in was seamless with keyless entry, and we received detailed information and local recommendations in advance. The hosts were responsive and checked in during our stay to ensure everything was going well.The location was perfect with easy access to everything Big Bear has to offer. The cabin had all the amenities we needed, including a nice gas fireplace for cozy evenings.Overall, this was exactly what we were looking for in a mountain getaway. Clean, comfortable, and well-managed. We would definitely stay here again!
Very nice property and perfect for dogs. The backyard is a perfect spot to let them out safely. The 5 star for the excellent towels in the bathroom. I can't stand it when you go to a VRBO and its run by one of these agencies who purchase the cheapest stuff possible. This place unit is furnished with love with nice fluffy thick towels. Thank you for the nice touch.
My husband, sister, dogs and I stayed at this cute property at the end of the summer and had a wonderful time. The cabin was easy to find, on a quiet street and super close to the main part of town. We also were able to walk to the lake from it! The cabin has a spacious open floor plan with super high ceilings. The living room had comfy large couches that we settled into to watch movies at night. The bedrooms on the main floor were roomy and clean and just perfect for our needs. The loft upstairs was a lot of fun too! The kitchen and bathrooms met all of our needs. And most importantly, the backyard was serene whether you were sitting on the swing or laying in the hammock. Our dogs absolutely loved the backyard too. The host was super easy to deal with and communicate with. We will happily stay here again and encourage others to do so. We highly recommend it.
This wonderful cabin made our trip perfect. We all loved the cabin from ages 70 to 3. It's roomy but cozy and what an amazing backyard! Thank you for the bird seed! This is our favorite cabin we have rented in Big Bear, so I guarantee you'll see us again! Thank you for everything!
This property was amazing. The open floor plan was perfect for cooking and hanging out. The kitchen is a cook's dream. It had everything you needed to prepare a meal, with updated appliances and plenty of counter space. The large sectional was a comfortable spot to watch movies and warm up in front of the fireplace. The bedrooms and loft were cozy. The large backyard was beautiful and our little pup loved it. Lori was great - she answered all of my questions and made the check-in/check-out process super easy. She even left us a welcome note with a bottle of wine and a little box full of stuff for our pup, like bowls, a mat, and treats. So thoughtful! This is one of our favorite properties that we have rented, and we cannot wait to come back!
This was a great place for us to stay with our family and our dogs. The home is very dog friendly and so warm and well-appointed - really could not think of anything more that they could have provided. And the owner, Lori, provided great communication and care and offered for us to stay put in her home if we did not feel safe traveling down the mountain due to the rare occurrence of an extreme winter blizzard that was coming in. She made our departure stress free and provided all the accommodations that were needed for a wonderful stay. I'm looking forward to rebooking this property in the summertime with our dogs.
We really enjoyed our stay on your property. It was so nice to relax by the fireplace. We loved the ambiance and open space. The yard was perfect for our dogs. We felt very safe having them there. We will definitely stay again! Thank you!!
A perfectly clean, roomy, and adorable cabin in the perfect location. Walking distance to the water and a very short drive to the village, it was exactly what we were looking for. Owner was friendly and very accommodating. Our pup, friends, and their 1.5 year old loved it as much as we did, will definitely be returning!
We booked this property for the proximity to restaurants, stores, and the lake. The location is great--about a mile from everything you may need. We also needed a fully fenced yard for our dogs. The cabin is nice and well-stocked with appliances, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. We loved the large open living area and fenced backyard. The backyard was great and we were sad to leave it. Our son and dogs loved rolling in the grass and running around outside. It was also nice to have a baby gate, pack and play, and infant chair for meals provided. It really cut down on the things I had to pack. The only things I would be aware of are that the downstairs beds are pretty high, which may be tough for really little kids or elderly people. It was not a problem for us since they provided the pack and play and I brought the toddler into bed with me as needed, surrounded by pillows. The lake was unfortunately really low, but we are looking forward to coming back when the water level is up!
The cabin was SO cute with a welcome note & wine for us and a cute welcome box of goodies for our dogs. The house was so clean & the backyard is where we spent most of our time it was nice to have it all fenced in along with the hammock being the family favorite. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinners at the house also. So close to the village just a mile drive away! We would definatly stay here again!
