We had a great stay. Super cute cabin with a beautiful view. Beds were a little small for adults and the hot water was a little spotty. But overall a nice place and Checkin was really easy.
We had an amazing time at this cozy cabin. Close to everything. We walked to the Village, hit the slopes and relaxed in a warm jacuzzi. My family will definitely stay at this lakeside cabin in the future.
We had a wonderful long weekend here. Everything was as advertised. Nice view of the lake. Great hot tub. Short drive to Snow Summit. We’d definitely come back.
This was such a beautiful spot for a little mountain getaway. Great location. Loved being right on the lake. The fall colors were amazing too! We would love to come back to this cabin again!
Had a great NYE Weekend, walkable distance to downtown and shops, cute and cozy cabin

The location of the cabin is wonderful. Gorgeous views of the mountains and the lake. Very nice, comfortable cabin with everything you'll need. My family loved this place. We hope to come back again someday! Thank you.
Great location, right on the lake. Close to shopping, skiing, fun zones for the kids. The place is a little dated but nice, very cozy. We were 8 and sleeping worked out fine
My family enjoyed a fantastic getaway at this wonderful cabin for a birthday weekend! Cozy rooms, spiral staircase, foosball table and games, outdoor decks, great kitchen, jacuzzi, and beautiful views right on the Lake - this place had it all. The Big Bear Lakefront Cabins company was very accommodating! Thank you for a magical time - we will definitely be back!
Lovely location. I could have sat and looked at the lake all day, but the town was walking distance and there was plenty to do. Everything was as described. My family had a great time. We booked hoping for snow, the weather didn’t cooperate, but no one went home disappointed. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay here over Thanksgiving. Plenty of beds, kitchen items, bedding and towels. We were surprised the living room furniture was pretty beat up but was still comfortable. Not enough eating space, but we made it work. Downstairs was really cold some nights but tolerable with the bedding provided. View, hot tub and location were awesome! Would totally stay again 100%.

This is a really nice cabin in a great location. The view of the lake is beautiful and it's walking distance to the village and lots of restaurants.The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you seniors, my husband and I were a little concerned about the spiral staircase, but we quickly got used to it. I'd stay here again and have already recommended it to a friend.

Our cabin was great! Close to town and eateries, on the lake, picturesque. It was a great weekend get away. The spiral staircase is no joke, so make sure youre ok with stairs before renting this cabin. The furniture could use a slight upgrade, there was one chair we didnt even sit in because of the printed sign next to it stating it’s difficult to put upright if reclined. Overall, we loved it!
It twas a lovely cabin. Everything was perfect. The property management company was great to work with - very responsive. My only suggestion is that the signage at the property management company be more prominent. It was a little hard to find as it is inside a spa/hot tub store. Perhaps I missed earlier instructions advising this - it really wasn't a big deal and their excellent customer service more than made up this early snafu.

This is the first time that we have arrived at a rental and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s an absolute gem of a place. Clean, updated and perfect location. A literal 13 min walk into the village and the backyard has so much snow play and right on the water. My family and extended family had such a great time we didn’t even want to leave other than to pick up some items from the store. It’s peaceful and the neighbor next door had a snow fight and ran sleds with us. Book this place if you want lakefront. While using the hot tub it began to snow and it was the highlight of our trip. The house has everything you needed. If you plan to cook, you only need your ingredients and seasonings. They have everything else. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
The property had a rustic feel and was very cozy. The kids enjoyed the loft area. It was like a tree house with a lake view for them. They had most of what we needed to cook. we're a family that likes to cook. The only issue with cleanliness was the amount of dust on the beams. One was above the stove. They just need to dust a bit better. The check-in location as a little confusing, but its nothing you cannot figure out. We found the parking situation a bit frustrating. Its strange that there is a 2 car maximum for a place that sleeps 8. There was more than enough room for all three cars without getting in the way of snow plows or being anywhere near the road. We had to park Nana's car in a public lot and drive by to check on it every day. Not a task we wanted while on vacation. There was an outdoor light out but it was fixed while we were there which was good. My brother found the Jacuzzi a bit clouded for his taste but it smelled clean so we did get in a few times. The front office responds very quickly to any calls or concerns! They had great service! They seem to always be available for any questions. Overall, its a cozy place to stay! And the View of the lake is beautiful!

Overall, we really liked our stay at this cabin. The location was great and the location near downtown put us where we wanted to be. The stairs between floors can be a bit challenging with baggage as it is a tight spiral stair. Hot tub was great.

Cozy cabin on the lake - great for a peaceful get away.
Since it was just my wife and I, it was great to find a smaller place on the lake, but it's actually much bigger than it looks in the pictures and closer to the lake than I thought. A beautiful property well outfitted and everything went as smoothly as possible. We will definitely be returning!
We had a great time. It was just me and my wife and our six month old baby. This house would be adequate for a family with no problem. The property manager was very helpful and we appreciated it.
