      • Kennel pets when unattended.
      • Keep off furniture/beds.
      • Clean up after them.
      • Charges apply for pet damages.
    • Coyote Warning: Coyotes are extremely prevalent in Big Bear, even in the most densely populated areas. If you see one, you can bet they’re part of an unseen pack. These animals are bold and territorial. They pose a significant threat to pets. For their safety, never leave your pets unattended, even in fenced areas, especially after dark. Coyotes are known for their ability to overcome barriers, including high fences. And they’re even known for attacking pets that are on a leash. We cannot overstate the need for heightened vigilance concerning your pets' safety.

  6. Air Conditioning: None. Enjoy natural mountain breezes through open windows.
  7. Ants: Sometimes our ants can be a bit over-friendly. To keep these small visitors at bay, we suggest promptly cleaning up right after each meal and don’t leave food out. (We do use ant bait & ant traps… and the ants tend to look at those as snacks.)
  8. Trash: You are mandated by ordinance to dispose of your trash at the designated trash site. If you require assistance, we can arrange a pick-up service for a nominal fee.
  9. Video Surveillance & Noise Monitors: We employ external video surveillance and noise monitors at most of our properties. (We do not have video or audio monitoring inside of the residences.)

Breathtaking

The view of the lake and sunsets is breathtaking.

Amazing host.

Great home. Amazing service. We will be back! Thank you for everything ❤️

The property was in great condition, and a real upscale cabin experience - well appointed.

The view of the lake and mountains are second to none. Hosts were great, communicative and helpful. We will likely stay here again in the future.

Beautiful cabin

Lots of pace, great entertainment kitchen/living room, very comfortable/cozy/clean! The views and the location were amazing! Very comfortable for a party of up to 12. The hosts were so accommodating and very responsive and willing to help with anything! We loved our stay!

09 June 2023

Our family had a great time!

The host kept us up to date with instructions and stayed in contact throughout the entire process. We absolutely loved this place and will definitely look to book again next year!

I would recommend this place and hope to visit again!

SoCal's house was an amazing last minute find (our other house fell through the weekend before our trip). It was everything the listing said and more. The house is large but because the levels are short (only a few stairs leading from one level to the next), it is also easy to get around. I appreciated the large kitchen that had a ton of cook and bakeware (I love to cook on vacation). My friends loved having a pool table right in the middle of the living area so they could play pool or video games and I could still talk to them from the kitchen. The breakfast nook was a bonus. While not totally private, the location of the hot tub out of the back door and the bushes surrounded it made it feel private. The best part was the lake views, which were great from the master BR but even better from the kitchen/living room.

Beautiful and spacious home

worked great for our group of 10. It had mostly everything we needed. Only things missing were a tea kettle and laundry detergent, and when we messaged the host, they brought those items to us. Beautiful view of the lake and great location – close to the slopes. Really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home!

Wonderful stay!

The kitchen is on the top floor and opens to the living room which is awesome. The master bedroom is on the middle level between the kitchen/living and downstairs bedrooms. Nice quiet neighborhood and easily accessible. 2 minutes to the large grocery stores which was super convenient. Will stay again!

Went here for my birthday celebrate and was surprised with an engagement on the balcony!

This place was a total dream. It looks just like the pictures, very home-y and comfortable! Cleanliness was top notch. We can't wait to come back!!!

I highly highly recommend

We were a group of 10, different ages and this home was perfect for all of us. The pictures/description do no justice, the home is beautiful and the view is breath taking. The top open floor was my favorite. Early morning coffee on the balcony with the view was one of those wish you were here postcard moments, definitely worth it. I was able to cook big meals for my family, have a view of the lake, and be amongst my family and not be secluded. Top floor is where we all spent most of the time. For being pet friendly home I was beyond pleased that the couches or extra blankets had no pet hair. It is a fully furnished home, like if we were at home which made the experience even better.

Had a great stay in Big Bear!

The host was very responsive and the property was awesome. Very nice community and felt safe. The place is very spacious and they had all the utensils you need for cooking. The hot tub and pool table were a huge plus! You are walking distance from the lake and about a 5 min drive from down town big bear. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back to their property.

Wonderful family trip to Big Bear!

Great location and beautiful views. Would definitely stay here again!

25 February 2024

This place was one of the greatest houses I've ever been to.

Very spacious, lots of bed and bedrooms, entertainment, and a huge TV. There were more than enough of kitchen essentials (plates, cups, mugs, cookware, etc) so you don't need to bring any of those with you. It had 2 separate bbq grills with extra propane tank for each. Beautiful view towards the lake and enough parking space. Beautiful and cozy interior. Host and the management are very supportive and quick to respond. Check in was super easy. Overal I HIGHLY recommend this place!

I loved my Big Bear cabin stay.

I couldn't have picked a more serene getaway. After arriving, we were fascinated by nature and the cabin's attractiveness. The cabin's staff made our stay enjoyable, gave us directions and information in advance, and communicated quickly and politely. The cabin had clean linens, toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels when we arrived. It was a fantastic getaway. The bordering mountains and peaceful lake made this spot feel like paradise. The rustic-modern cabin was well-designed and furnished. The interior was immaculate, demonstrating care and attention to detail. Modern tools in the kitchen made cooking fun. We loved boating, fishing, and eating at Big Bear Lake without traveling far. Its beautiful setting, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff made it the perfect getaway. I recommend this cabin to anyone looking to unwind in nature. I can't wait to return to this little piece of heaven someday.

Lovely spot!

Got in plenty of cardio with all of the stairs. Beautiful view. Definitely utilize the portable air cooler in the summer and be careful on the steps!
