Perfect Quiet getaway
As has been the case every time we've stayed here, the cabin is great and the host's communication is amazing. We enjoy the quiet area away from the main town and even when there wasn't much snow elsewhere there was enough for our kids to play in and enjoy.

Great Winter Getaway
Our second time staying at this cute cabin and super enjoyable again! We love the quiet and private area the cabin is tucked in. Very clean and perfect for a small family. We ate all our meals at the cabin in the nice kitchen that had everything we needed. My daughter loves the swingset and if you are lucky enough to get snow there is a great sledding hill!

Great Cabin & host
Every visit is different and great! We've stayed at Ray's cabin in summer, late winter and now around the holidays. Every time the cabin has been great and Ray is always extremely welcoming and helpful. Ours kids are excited to go and run down to the bunk beds as soon as we arrive. The cabin has had snow even when the surrounding areas are bare and the sledding hill is great for young kids. We are looking forward to another trip again soon. Maybe we'll try spring next time.

Fun Winter Family Getaway
This cabin was exactly what my small family needed for a weekend of winter fun! Tucked away in a super quiet neighborhood we felt like we had the area all to ourselves. My daughter loved the swingset and the sledding hill. We cooked all our meals in the cabin which saved a bunch of money. It's just a short drive to downtown and the lake. Ray was very helpful with information prior to our arrival. Make sure you bring chains if it has snowed recently as the cabin is up a little hill that may be icy!

Awesome place and owner!
Ray, the owner, is awesome! He made sure that we had everything we needed and he was a fast responder! This place is quaint, but not small! It has a huge, open floor plan with the kitchen, family room,and dining area being one big room. The bedrooms are tight, but the bunk beds are great! The cabin's location is central to everything. We loved only having to drive about 10 minutes to be close to everything and being right next to Big Bear Blvd was perfect. I highly recommend this place and Ray!

Nice and comfy
It was winter storm when we stayed at ray’s wonderful home. Inside house was clean. Pans and utensils are nice. The owner was very easy to talk to. We did not get a chance to use most of the amenities outside as the snow accumulated to 5ft. It was wild. Board games kept us busy. Overall stay was good. Will come back again for sure.

Cozy Cabin
Ray was a very attentive host. He made it super easy to check in and made himself available for questions throughout our stay. The place was perfect for my family as it was my 6 year olds first snowy experience. Yard has a play area with play structure and a snowy hill perfect for novice sledding. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. We got tons of snow so the backdrop was magical. Ray also went above and beyond by providing recommendations to local restaurants and businesses. It was a wonderful experience!

Stay over new years
The property owner was very nice, informative, and helpful during our stay. The house was cozy and the central air kept us very warm. We had a toddler with us and needed to get baby gate because there are a small set of stairs to get to the bed rooms. The property had a sledding hill out back which was great. However, if there is a heavy snow be sure and have chains for your car, otherwise you will need to shovel a 400 foot (or so) long driveway to get to the parking in front of the house. Overall, it was a great stay!

Perfect all around. A home away from home.
To start the owner Ray was very good with communicating we us about all the ins and outs of everything. He was very nice and super helpful. The house was just perfect for our family. Very clean. And very comfortable. The location was also perfect. The house is right in the middle of everything around. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook. My kids loved playing in the yard and the sledding hill behind the house was so cool. We will definitely be returning. I would recommend this house to anyone! Thanks ray!

Good property, nice location & ambience
It was nice staying there, nice kitchen, and rooms. Owner is very helpful. Gave all the details about the property & the activities to be done around Big bear. I has huge backyard and many things to play within the property. Only one thing is that, the neighbor was running his clothes in this homes washer/dryer. So he had access to the home. The bunker bed was metallic & shaky, making sound. Rest all fine.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Great Host but Outdated Cabin
The host was super nice and made us feel comfortable and reassured us that we did not need to bring anything other than our food. When we got there it was beautiful since the cabin was covered in snow. Once we got inside the house we noticed that it was a bit outdated but thought nothing of it. As we were there a bit longer we encountered the following. *Toilet bowl looked dirty (was stained) *Shower head did not work *My wife was taking a shower and rubbed out of hot water(she had to rinse herself with freezing cold water) *The railing for the bunk bed was not secured * Cooking utensils were burnt and old , knives were not sharp and old. *Some of the inside of the kitchen cabinets were dirty. *The fan on top of stove was dirty. *The hooks for coats was not secure to the wall. *All sleds were broken (1 worked out of 5) *The gazebo looked like no one ever maintained it. *the heater got extremely hot upstairs (was so uncomfortable) but would not warm up the downstairs area were the bedrooms were at. * Overall this will be a great cabin for a vacation if they actually update and remodeled it. We booked for two nights and only ended up staying one night because we just didn’t feel comfortable. We couldn’t wait but to leave.

Perfect Stay, perfect location
Ray is an amazing host. He called the day before to make sure that we had the lay of the land along with food and recreation recommendations. The cabin itself was warm and comfortable and had all of the amenities that one would need. The patio and gazebo were perfect for the stars and night and coffee with a view in the morning. The location was absolutely perfect. It was far enough outside of town to be totally secluded yet close enough to get to anything within minutes. We plan on staying again!

Ray was an amazing host!
This house is a bilevel, so there were very few stairs to navigate. The main floor was spacious. Plenty of room for 4 people and daytime guests. Leather couch loveseat and recliner. Beautiful tv. Every board game you can remember from your childhood. The kitchen was roomy. Amenities included central heat, central air, dishwasher, clothes washer / dryer. The bedrooms were small, but I liked that too. Just enough room for what I needed. Ray went out of his way to make sure I arrived safe and sound. He offered his services as a guide and told me where I could find what I might need. (grocery store / bike rental / trails / boating/ etc.)

Great location, perfect for a small family
Great cabin for a family of three and a larger sized dog. Perfect location, close to the lake, the village and Snow Summit, and hiking trails are within walking distance. The home has everything you need to cook dinner or bbq for a night in. The owner was so nice and helpful and communicative. The property manager nearby was super nice and had some good suggestions of nearby sites to take in. We would definitely stay here again!
