I will say though, it was definitely a warmer weekend and the AC is very limited so fortunately for us with the windows open and the ceiling fans going it kept things comfortable. Very nice stay and responsive host."

It appeared that the property was still under construction a bit, and a few surfaces were unfinished and a few things didn’t work perfectly, but that did not disruptour stay. The property is beautiful as a and everything we needed was available to us. The most enjoyable part of the property was the large living room and open kitchen concept.

"The location is fantastic! However, the interior photos on the website didn’t quite capture the cabin’s true character, as the sofa is old and dirty, cabin seemed a bit worn and dusty. Also, the cabin doesn’t have air conditioning, so it can get quite warm in the summer. I should have done a more thorough inspection before booking. Despite that, we had a wonderful time in the cabin. Thanks!"

"Everything was as expected. It was nice to have a fenced yard with pets. The main street is close by so it is a little noisy at times but plenty of food places within walking distance. Property is close to the board walk that runs by the lake with a beautiful sunset. Plenty of hiking trails close by."

Very spacious and open living area and back deck, master bedroom also spacious, and second bedroom average size. Kitchen had everything we needed. Very clean. Wifi worked great. Randelle was supremely responsive. Good home base for the Tour de Big Bear. Added bonus: bunny in the yard!"

Tibetan Theme Cozy Cabin Minutes 2 Slopes + Hot Tub - Big Bear Lake

10/10 Excellent
"Worked for our family of 4 (2 teenage boys) and 2 pugs. Smooth check in and easy to find (slow down to make the turn off the 18). Good communication with owner. Love the back yard for our pups and the jacuzzi and propone fire actually worked!! Deck in front was great for drying towels. Some road noise due to proximity, but not a big deal for us. Peaceful in the backyard and not a lot of neighborhood action. Beds are comfortable (watch your skins while maneuvering around the bed in the right bedroom). Bathroom and kitchen small but very functional - faucets deliver water FAST so turn on cautiously. Plenty of pots/pans and extras like tin foil (thank you). Very comfortable and convenient for our hiking needs. Will stay again."

Beautiful garden with towering redwood trees to relax and enjoy, every amenity available to us to use at our leisure, very comfortable bed and pillows, very welcoming and thoughtful staff and a great breakfast. I can't say enough...it truly was perfect! As far as we are concerned, there couldn't possibly be any better place to stay in Big Bear and we cannot wait to return and stay again!"
