Nice place

We had a nice stay - the neighborhood is quiet and has lots of trees, the location was great for going to Snow Valley, and we had plenty of room for the four of us (two adults and two kids). The beds weren’t very comfortable.

Family Staycation!

Everything was good. The location, the cleanliness, and they had even condiments that we needed. They had games for kids. Parking was easy and we felt right at home.

Great Mountain Getaway

We had a wonderful time at the Lil Blue Barn. It was perfect for our family of four, just as it was described, and it was conveniently located. Working with our host, Kelly, was so easy, and she was very responsive to all my inquiries.

Short snow day getaway

This home was perfect for our short overnight stay in Running Springs. We traveled with our baby and small children. They loved the toys, arts and crafts, and of course the snow outside. The jumper and chair was perfect for our baby to use. The rooms were great with each room having their own heaters and fans, and the downstairs living room had a heater as well. Recommended for small families!

Cozy little cabin perfect for family

We had a comfortable stay at this blue cabin near Arrowbear Lake. The cabin has a perfect size for a small family with kids, and we found some fun toys and broad games to keep the young kids busy. The listing’s close location to Snow Valley is also a huge plus. The host was attentive to our inquiries throughout the entire stay, which was highly appreciated.

Sweet and Simple

Our family had the perfect weekend getaway. We shot up to Snow Valley in 10 minutes and got a full day in. The location was so convenient that my husband shot back up for some night runs while we hung back by the fire.

Host was prompt in responding and accommodating for a late check out. Easy access. It kept us warm in the cold night and loved that we could go for a little walk and find a little hill with beautiful trees to explore a bit without going too far.House was mostly clean, bathroom (with plenty of towels) and bedrooms were good (however closets were full of random things and the extra linens/blankets were laid out a bit messy). The kitchen had some unpleasant surprises. Such as wet sponge drying on top of the wooden counter. And no clean sponge to use. But under the sink there were a lot of old dry sponges and some weird smell. There were at least two open Tapatio containers, but no oil to cook. Old expired tortillas in a cabinet. Bunch of condiments that seemed rather old. The freezer had old open but wrapped bacon among other things and fridge had expired closed both, among other things. And it wasn’t super clean.It’s an old home, with old heater, old carpet and old lighting, but it’s an affordable cabin, and we were there for a night to rest and leave the next day with our littles. It did the job. My kids were entertained while we were there; There was a tv in each room and common area, lots of toys for kids kinda tossed in a corner and things such as pack-n-play and other baby stuff available.

Loved it!

The cabin was lovely! It was quiet, super cozy, and bigger than we expected - perfect during the winter storm we stayed in. Communication with our host was great, and she was very accomodating to our family (Thank you!). The cabin was easy to get to and close to Snow Valley. We definitely appreciated the flat driveway for hauling our stuff in and out. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay for us. We hope to be back again soon!

Nice cozy little getaway

Very close to Big Bear skiing areas. If you don't need a second bathroom or a hot tub (we didn't miss either), this cozy cutie works great. Owner was very communicative and made checkin-in and check-out easy. Personalized sign welcomed us in the living room. Although we were all adults, I noticed a large amount of baby items (tucked away) that would make staying here with a baby very easy, especially if you have to fly into the area. The primary bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Bonus points: using the local tap water in the coffee maker, we thought the coffee was far better than when we make it at home.
