We loved the place, very peaceful, clean place. Would visit again thanks again.

I had an amazing time. Cabin was located walking distance to the lake and it was clean, cozy and very comfortable. Would 100% recommend.

It’s a good place to stay for a group of 4-6people. Highly recommend! The hosts are nice and friendly. The location is about 15 min to the main town.

Good location that’s close enough to the lake to be able to walk there. Hot tub was clean and spacious. Leanne was super responsive and even sent someone to fix the fridge at 11 PM so that our groceries wouldn’t go bad which we really appreciated. Overall, the stay was positive and I would recommend staying here.

Cons: Hot tub was set at 99 which was not hot enough for our liking.
There were a LOT of rules and while they were normal rules, they came with threats of large fines or expulsion which just seemed kind of scary and unwelcoming. You have to drive your trash to a drop off area/wash the dishes/run dishwasher/put the towels in the bathroom (little cleaning rules) which would be fine if the cleaning fee wasn’t over $100 a night. read less

The cabin was nice and cozy. It was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. Leanne was very helpful and very response. I would definitely recommend this cabin to all family and friends. Thanks Leanne it was just what we needed.

Great location, very clean and spacious cabin, great host.
would book this cabin again.

The cabin was very clean and met our expectations. We had a nice little getaway! Would stay again.

It's upscale, and everything was remodeled. Definitely, we will go back to the place whenever we are in the area.

We stayed for a work retreat and the home was beautiful. It was right on the water and the view was so relaxing. The open-concept kitchen and living room was great. We will definitely be back again.

Had a great time staying here! Host was super responsive and checked in at times to see if I had any issues. The cabin looked just like the pictures, overall enjoyed my stay 🙂

This was a beautiful cabin, extra nice. You could really tell somebody spent their whole life taking care of this cabin

Beautiful cabin and location! It’s very peaceful. We enjoyed our stay.

We truly enjoyed our stay this past weekend. The home was so clean and inviting. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for cooking; the beds and pillows were so comfortable. Everything about our stay was just perfect. We liked that it was close to the village and the lake and the surrounding area was quiet. The house was easy to find; even my granddaughter driving up after dark had no problem finding the house. Felicia provided all the information for our weekend trip, where to check in and and gave us ideas for things to do in the area. The ease of entering the home when we arrived and locking up when we left to return home could not have been better. We look forward to a return trip next year as we do a girls weekend every year together in Big Bear. read less

Amazing and beautiful home, even more beautiful than the pictures. I would absolutely recommend booking Leanne’s home. We had a great time and would love to return.

My husband and I took our 6 month old daughter here for Saturday-Tuesday in early October. My daughter is not crawling yet, so we didn’t have to worry about the location not being childproofed. There was space in the master bedroom for a pack and play and space for her to play on the ground in the front room. We used a portable jumper/activity center for out on the front deck when we ate breakfast and next to the spa/fire. We walked the half mile to the zoo - but be aware, cars drive very fast around those corners and there are no sidewalks. The driveway is very steep, which the host warns about. We had to put our truck into 4x4 in order to back up it even without snow/ice. As for comfort - the place had everything we needed for a multiple day stay. We personally prefer a firmer bed.
In general, Big Bear/ The Village with a baby in a stroller was challenging. We did enjoy the Fall colors. read less

We had a great time here.

Great host and a lovely cabin. You will find whatever you wish in the cabin. Will definitely come back!

I stayed here for my mini birthday getaway, and everything was perfect.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay. Leanne was super helpful before and after our stay. Would definitely come back!

Leanne was extremely helpful from the start, making sure we arrived safely & got the key code upon check-in. Nestled just minutes away from big bear lake, it was a short walk to a nearby hiking trail which we took full advantage of. The cabin had a perfect vibe with accents of mid century. The rooms were very clean & had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Everything about this place was perfect from the spa, movie projector & record player. We really enjoyed our stay & plan to be back once snow falls. Thanks again for a memorable trip:) read less

Leanne was amazing! She was super communicative and gave tons of local recommendations. She was incredibly responsive and clear. We had a super seamless stay. Would highly recommend booking her space! It was breathtaking

Everything was clean and I was so confortable, she was very attentive.

Loved our weekend stay in big bear. The home had everything we needed to feel comfortable during our getaway.

Three bedrooms but we stayed mostly on the first floor. The fireplace was easy to use and soo convenient for cold nights. The kitchen was well equipped, I can say I did several full on meals there. The bathrooms had everything you needed, several clean towels and shampoo. The view from the balcony was amazing, during the morning sunrise is really spectacular, we work from home so several of those days we spent working in the balcony with the view of the forest. 😍 Highly recommend, far away from the noise but close enough to get a bite fast if you need to. Super relaxed environment and quiet, I slept like a baby most nights. read less

The place is exactly as described. Perfect size for my husband, 18 month old son, and myself. Might be a little tight for larger parties. Dan was incredibly responsive and friendly. He genuinely wants his guests to enjoy themselves and feel at home. We LOVED the location. We took full advantage of the hot tub and karaoke machine, which were really the sellers for me. I loved that the backyard is nestled amongst the trees - that was a huge plus. The place was decorated nicely and I loved the huge windows in the master bedroom. My only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer! Thanks to our hosts for helping to provide an amazing and memorable weekend. 🙂 read less

Great Lake View. Close to the Village. Absolutely loved having the fireplace. The great room was perfect for teenagers, and having two king beds was great for having multiple couples. Would stay again!

Great place with a great location!

The place was very clean and peaceful my kids had a great time in the game room I have a 17 year old 11 year old and 7 year old . Very cozy place.

We needed an emergency getaway and bad. This place came up with a great deal so, I jumped on the opportunity to come here that very day. A great place to unwind and slow things down.

Walking distance to knot pine trailhead, also close to the lake and the village. The stairs to the second floor are a bit tiny (which I can definitely see as a problem for older folks or limited mobility) but that was no problem since there are 2 rooms on the first floor. Overall great experience read less

What you should know…. Jacuzzi can’t be used after 10pm. Floors inside cabin are pretty squeaky (some places more than others) so much that can be excessive at night and to people staying in the rooms in the 1st floor. To check in you need to go to an office not too far from the location and sign a paper to get your code, there’s enough parking for 2 cars at site, my cable at cabin didn’t work but I took a firestick so I recommend you do the same. The one thing I disliked was you are not allowed to leave any trash at cabin. You need to put trash bag(s) in your car and take it down the street to a dump. No charge but I shouldn’t have to do that. If you leave it behind, make noise, use jacuzzi past 10pm,have more than 8 people = fines.
But after all that I would stay there again because place is close to everything and cool. read less

It’s fun for everyone. Great views from the second floor and a cozy one of a kind experience on the first floor! Everything met or exceeded our expectations! My family enjoyed spending sometime in the jacuzzi and hanging out back, the decorations are an eye catcher and the small games are worth a try at least once(they will have you coming back for more)! Will definitely return! read less

The kids had everything to entertain themselves with, as did the Adults. Only thing that was odd was the directions regarding checkout and the dishes. Normally all places we previously stayed at we were instructed to just load the dishwasher and run when we leave but here we had to have everything washed and put away. Which explained why we found some dishes and pots and pans that clearly had not been washed. Other than that it was great all around! read less

We would 100% return; the cabin is cute and we imagine staying here while it’s snowing would be amazing.

The place is perfect for a couple or even if you have a child or 2. The couch is a little small, even for 2 adults, just an FYI. The record player is a nice touch, the projector was fun to use, and the jacuzzi was what really sold us on getting this place and it worked great.

The host put a lot of attention and care into this home and made us feel the same way as guests. 10:/10 recommend. 🙂 read less

From the furniture, to the bathrooms, to the very well stocked kitchen with all we needed and more. All was clean, homey and very nicely decorated. There were lots of games, an outdoors place for our dogs, TVs in every room (not needed but nice for groups) the kitchen had everything .. pots, pans, bowls, oven dishes, bbq stuff, plates, mugs, plastic ziploc bags, foil, coffee, sugar, milk, tea, all the spices to cook with, plenty of glasses for every drink you could imagine, a knife block, spatulas, ice in freezer, coffee machine, blender, mixer, muffin tins and more !! There’s also a washer and dryer which can be great when needed.
The bedrooms were clean and there were enough towels and blankets for our stay. Lovely home! Thanks Gary for a great stay. read less

And it was as beautiful as the descriptions and the photos implied. The bear motif was not overbearing, instead tastefully sprinkled in details here and there. Only wished the lower floor patio door had a screen or blinds to cover. But other than that, we loved everything about this place! The kids played pool every day. The kitchen was comfortable and practical. We loved the lit trees above the kitchen cabinets and the fireplace area too. We parked our car in front of the door, which was a lot more convenient than any of the other parking setups in the neighborhood. The doggie photos from families who had visited the place before made us smile. We even doordash-ed food one evening, we were that comfortable and unwilling to leave the place. This can definitely be a real neat place for a family or couple getaway. Our family loved it! read less

We stayed here with my family of 13. Great location! Lots to do in and around the house! We had a great time, however the house could use some remodeling.
