"The location is fantastic! However, the interior photos on the website didnโ€™t quite capture the cabinโ€™s true character, as the sofa is old and dirty, cabin seemed a bit worn and dusty. Also, the cabin doesnโ€™t have air conditioning, so it can get quite warm in the summer. I should have done a more thorough inspection before booking. Despite that, we had a wonderful time in the cabin. Thanks!"

"I stayed Aug 23 and 24th, Was a last minute little spontraneous get away. Called ahead with a few questions. Spoke to B. He was very nice and very helpful. I arrived on Sunday afternoon, he was very receptive, easy to communicate with and get me all checked in to the property. Little cottage was super nice. Clean, smelled good, Has a nice AC. and also a stand up big fan in the cottage if your one that needs a fan. Kichen was furnished and clean, Bathroom was furnished and clean. Wish the shower was a little bigger but it was just fine for what i needed. Easy to access property with plenty off parking close to the cottage. Very quiet area, a lil on the private sid, relaxing and peaceful. A 5 min drive to The village and so many places to eat very close. Also a nice little convienient store next to property that has about anythhing you might need from food, snacks, alcohol, etc. Will definitely plan on staying here again. I brought my dog and she loved it, plenty of places for her to walk around and stretch out if your a travelling pet owner this was PERFECT for a dog. Was 1st time in Big Bear and for the price over some of the higher rated places or places closer to down town, this was well worth it. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks again to B for being such a gracious and helpful host."

"The room was super clean and a/c worked very well. The lake was right there with a dock . Fishing was excellent. The only thing that was a minor issue was the fire pits donโ€™t turn on until 8 pm ( should be more like 7 ) Also the grills got very little propane so it took a while to cook . Otherwise it was great . Will stay here again."
