Finding a spot with plenty of elbow room and actual privacy in the mountains makes all the difference for a truly relaxing trip! We’re so glad you enjoyed the quiet setting and spacious layout. Thank you for staying with us at Big Bear Vacations—we’d love to host you again whenever you need another peaceful retreat!

Absolutely loved the place — all the comforts of a home away from home, with the intrigues you’d hope for in a wintry cabin, like a 4th-level loft accessed via spiral staircase, a secret passageway, a large wooded yard on all sides, a big wood-burning fireplace, a quirky doorbell. The separate switch for a powerful room-heater in the bathrooms is a wonderful touch.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you loved the cabin and enjoyed all the unique details that make it feel like a true winter retreat—from the loft and spiral staircase to the fireplace and wooded surroundings. It's great to know the thoughtful touches, like the bathroom heaters, added to your comfort. We truly appreciate you staying with us and would be delighted to welcome you.

The cabin was nice however it lacked basic amenities. For a week’s stay with 3 adults, 1 trash bag, 1 dishwasher pod, 1 dish towel, etc. The office did allow us to drive back to the office to pick up more however he did state, “we set you up for the first day”. No lighter provided to light the gas bbq. I guess you’re either expected to bring or buy your own!
