Holiday get away

This is the second time we've stayed in this cabin, but our first time during chilly weather. We throughly enjoyed our stay during Thanksgiving week, even had a few fires in the fireplace to enhance the stay. I would encourage the owner to replace the shower faucet since it is so hard to use. This cabin is remote enough to be quiet, but close enough to the city to be convenient. We plan on returning to this cabin in 2025 and watching wildlife through the glass doors

Dark Pine Retreat

As an avid big bear go-er we really enjoyed this home. It was Updated and cozy, we enjoyed the large fenced in yard with multiple decks and seating areas (including the secret hill deck). Was a private location with hiking just steps from the front door. Everything worked as should but when we did run into a small hiccup they were there to fix asap. Overall very charming, peaceful, private and the yard was great for our pup to explore in. Will be back! Thank you!

This was a wonderful little place for my wife, myself, and our Boarder Collie. Cloe enough to pretty much everything we wanted to visit (downtown, Big Bear Zoo, Fawnskin, trails, etc.). The cabin was very clean and comfortable, and the fenced-in yard was perfect for when we would go outside with our dog for her to do her business. There is no A/C but the ceiling fan in the living area and the plug-in floor fans provided were enough for the un-seasonable heat this July. We will DEFINITELY be booking one of these properties (if not this exact one) in the future.

Great Find!

It was wonderful for my girlfriend and I and our dog to stay here, perfect yard for our Pup and for us. Quiet and peaceful, lots of sitting areas, the house was perfect for our couple day stay, all we needed including some games to play. We loved it! I hope to stay here again in the near future.

Lots of wildlife

We enjoyed our stay at this property, seeing birds, chipmunks and grey squirrels on the deck. The home is well appointed but both screen doors need repair. This home offers all you might need for convenience and we look forward to our next visit.

Wonderful backyard filled with snow

We has a great time at this rental. The backyard was the best part because it had just snowed. Everything was great. The only complaint we had was the shower curtain needs to be cleaned or replaced.

Comfy Nice cabin in quiet area

Stay was good and the cabin is real nice. A few things really need looked at to make this a perfect rental. A new Shower curtain would go a long way to improving the experience along with a few pans that are just shot and unable to be cleaned by previous guest. Thanks for the memories.
