Leanne’s place is honestly just a perfect cabin in Big Bear. I loved the layout of this house and they have thought of everything. It was one of the best airbnb’s I’ve stayed at. Amazing view of the lake and meadow, peaceful setting, the hot tub was perfect, and the house itself amazing. We just didn’t want to leave. A perfect getaway and just a gem of a place! Thank you so much. We plan to come back!

This was a great space for our family of four to stay while in Big Bear. There was enough room for everyone and the kids loved it. The location is close enough to the Village and all the restaurants, yet far enough away that you feel like you have your privacy too. Leanne is a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this as a great family place to stay when visiting Big Bear Lake year around.

We stayed in the summer and it was a wonderful stay, and it’s very close to the lake, while close to the main areas of Big Bear Lake. Sitting outside, something you’ll notice is how quiet and peaceful it is, even though Big Bear Lake is a very busy town, mountainwise. For our family, this was perfect, and I really mean perfect. The middle room had a double bed and a bunk bed, with comfy hangout sofa, fussball table and a TV. The upper part had a nice kitchen and living room, and downstairs a living room with downstairs patio access with a small backyard. It is very smartly designed, and although definitely not small, it feels big and spacious (). We would love to come back soon, and I will lock for this place as our preferred location in Big Bear. This was a summer stay for us, and Big Bear can be very different in winter, but I would recommend everyone to try this place.

Great house with 2 living rooms. My 4 year old slept on his own in the bunks (1st time he slept alone). Meadow views and peaceful yard. Quirky in a good way, interesting place, quality kitchen. Lots of little extras & wine to welcome us. Larger than it looked in photos. Perfect for 2 couples with kids. Bathrooms aren’t attached to bedrooms, so that makes it flexible and easy. 5-stars.
