Charming - but ...
Warm and welcoming, charming cottage, wonderful decorations throughout, great bathrooms. But several comfort items missing: bedside lamps, Kleenex boxes, Glassware for 5?? We were just 2 and had only one reasonable glass. 2 hangers for 2 women? TV instructions necessary, maybe placemats for the table? Housekeeper should report problems: broken headboard, sheets torn, coverlet torn, broken light under Microwave (cooking in the dark). Worst of all: trash can has no lid! Yuckee!! Dragging your luggage across 75 feet of course gravel was no fun, you can't pull the car up to the front steps. Location and quiet neighborhood were enjoyable, and we were lucky with wonderful Fall weather.

Big Bear Cabin
Great little cabin. Neighbors noisy on weekend with loud music but thankfully just one evening. Host very good and very responsive. Check in a little wonky as property mgr did not show at appointed time and had to call and then received info via text. TV system had no instructions and 3 remotes but we figured it out so we could watch weather and news. Would recommend it highly to others.

A quaint cabin, perfect for a big bear getaway.
We arrived Monday evening and got settled in. The cabin had everything we needed to cook a nice dinner that evening and a coffee maker to make coffee in the morning. We rode snow summit Tuesday and made a great meal in the kitchen in the cabin that evening. We retired to our bedrooms that evening and woke up to an insane amount of snow! After shoveling out the truck from the driveway, we headed back up to snow summit for an awesome day of riding. It was the best I’ve ever seen the snow up there and I’ve been going to big bear and summit for 20+ years! Anyway, we extended our stay until Friday morning due to the snow being so great. The cabin was perfect for us, our dogs and our friends. Thanks Kari!!!

Charming cabin with a great location for a family vacation getaway with a pet.
We arrived on a Sunday for 7 nights. As described by the owner, this charming cabin is conveniently located within a short drive of the lake and the village, and close by many great hiking trails. We appreciated the quiet and open space view of the front yard, while relaxing on the front deck’s chairs. As one steps inside the cabin, it feels like entering in a chalet of the Swiss Alps; it is nicely decorated with rustic design furniture and lots of antique memorabilia. Wifi and TV’s work great, the kitchen is well equipped, and the 2 bathrooms were very clean. It would have been a perfect family vacation time if the cabin had been furnished with a newer bed in the master bedroom. The mattress was so uncomfortable on our back, that we ended up placing the comforter and blanket under the bedsheet to pad the saggy mattress, and to avoid rubbing against the hard and squeaky springs. We also found the foot board wiggling with loose screws upon arrival. If you are used to comfy bed linen, I strongly suggest to bring your own own comforter and pillows, as we usually do. After bringing this issue to the owner attention, she assured us she will take care of this matter. We will be more than pleased to book a future gateway with our dog and family if the bed gets replaced in the master bedroom.

Wonderful cabin for the holiday
We had a great time, the cabin is very cozy and nicely decorated. Super short drive or walk to the main shopping areas and it was secluded enough away from it all to feel private. The heat works really really well, so we had to keep the master bedroom door open or it became a sauna. The fireplace in the living room as well is very strong and we could only have it on for short bits to enjoy the fire or it got too hot. The master bed is very squeaky but otherwise comfortable. The owners are great communicators and it was easy to get in touch for a few questions when we needed to and they are extremely nice and polite.

Short but quaint
We came up with my our family for our wedding, we wanted something close to my aunts cabin, which was 4 mins away so it was perfect. My only “complaint “ would be the kitchen faucet is broken so you have either hot water or cold water. I couldn’t figure out an in-between. Other than that it was perfect. Would definitely rent again.
