Knotty pine everywhere! Great location to the Village. Comfy bed and nice small kitchen. Only complaints: ice maker not working. Only 2 jets in hot tub functioning. 3 TVs but no instructions on operating them

Great Stay with Dogs
This is the perfect place to bring your dogs. Nice wrap around porch that has a gate to the large yard. King Bed in master was comfortable. Right above and walking distance to the village. It had everything we needed! We will definitely be coming back!

do not use big bear vacations rental company...
I will never use Big Bear Vacation company again. They charge you $50 for checking in after 7pm but do not disclaim this prior to you reserving with them. Other than the terrible stench of cigarette smoke and pets, the cabin was okay to stay at.

Perfect rustic cabin
We had a wonderful stay in this cabin! The backyard is completely fenced, large and has so much character for our lab to enjoy. The porch is awesome for sitting with coffee. The hot tub was perfect for the snow day. The cabin had plenty of room for the 4 of us and our pet. We were a 3 minute walk from Oakside restaurant in the village, a must go! We will definitely come back to this cabin. Only downside was a hole in the driveway but it was quickly repaired once reported. Check in and out was so easy! Love Big Bear and this cabin.

I really enjoyed my stay and loved the location and property was nice and walking distance to town. Only think, the dishwasher was broken and had to wash dishes by hand.

Perfect getaway cabin for our family
My family and I had a great time staying at this cabin. Everything was nice and clean. The pictures didn't do this cabin justice. Great fenced-in backyard. Perfect for a family and petowners.
The kitchen had everything we needed.
Location was great. Close to the big bear village. You can pretty much walk there if you wanted to.
Only downside was that the check time was pretty late at 4pm. And it was a little cold in the cabin and the wall heater didn't really warm up the cabin. But there were space heaters in both rooms, which made nice and toasty.
