Perfect Little Cabin with FENCED Yard for Pups...

We booked a getaway from Vegas to Big Bear and loved this tiny cabin. Old Cabin feel, but modernized with Wifi and AC. Comfy couches and a fully fenced yard for the pups. The owners go out of their way to leave little treats and toiletries and they provide a dog bowl and waterer. Great communication, easy check in and very accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend!

Great cabin for a family vacation

The cabin was great and just as advertised. It made for a perfect vacation spot for kids and dogs. The host was helpful and quick with communication, and check-in and check-out was made simple with easy instructions to follow. The cabin was nicely decorated and the kids loved the squirrel theme throughout. Some special touches were the in-door smore maker, dog treats and dog bed for our 4-legged family members, and a nice fenced-in backyard where everyone could play. We made a lot of good memories on this trip.

Loved our stay!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Nutty Squirrel cabin, which was super clean, had a complete kitchen, comfortable living areas, high quality linens all around, and was in a great location! It was a perfect size for a family of 4, and our kids loved the squirrel theme and playing in the backyard. The host Carolin was wonderful – communications with her were very pleasant and easy, and she was quick to respond to our questions. Thank you, and we would definitely stay there again!
