We have stayed at Ray's cabin several times and it is always a wonderful experience! It is the perfect relaxing getaway for our small family. We loved playing in the snow around the cabin, it is very private, and in a nice little neighborhood. We cooked all our meals at the cabin and it had everything we needed to do that.

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 Vacation

We booked for 2 nights and 3 days and it was perfect. You're a little bit of a drive from the main downtown area of Big Bear, but it was nice not being in the middle of the action. There was a storm a few days before we arrived so there was fresh snow for sledding and playing in. The property around the home is perfect for sledding and playing in the snow without being far from the house at all.Ray reached out before our trip, which was great for answering our questions and making sure we were set with everything. Had a great weekend away and my son wants to go back every year now!

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.

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!

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Ray Greene

Host profile image

We live in Las Vegas, NV and frequently visit our home in the Big Bear area. We lived full time in Big Bear Lake from 2009 - 2014.

Why they chose this property

This house was originally built sometime prior to 1876, most likely a hunting cabin. In the 1930s, it was a motor-coach stop for visitors coming up the old road (Mill Creek) to Big Bear Lake. The house has been added onto several times and renovated. We bought the house in 2002 and in 2007 we renovated the entire house. Please enjoy our modern home which has a lot of history.
