Great Vacation Spot!

This is a beautiful house on Metcalf Bay, minuted from the village and right around the corner from Halloway Marina. We loved our time here and look forward to coming back, the views are amazing and the dock, hot tub and fire pit are huge pluses. I had an amazing 50th birthday here and really enjoyed the spring mountain weather.

The perfect cabin

We’ve stayed in big bear since I was a child and this cottage was just what we were looking for. Location was quiet-traveling with young kids they took their naps without any interruption and we got to enjoy the jacuzzi and lake views! The property was immaculately cleaned and check in was a breeze! We can’t wait to come visit again!
