About this house rental
Welcome to Half Stone Lodge. Access to nature is just out the door of this home where wilderness invites adventure. Skiing, mountain biking, fishing, hiking, boating, exploring... the choice is yours.
Or stay in, sleep in, cook in and enjoy the expansive space and amenities. Less than a half a mile to The Village, about a mile to the lake, and 2 miles to Snow Summit Ski Resort. A mountain modern log cabin estate that is the perfect escape for families and friends.
A feature-rich cabin with quality decor, in-floor radiant heating throughout, a kitchen made for chefs with an 8-burner stove, and hardwood and tile floors. This home has a game room with shuffleboard, card table, Foosball, and HDTV, which will keep the kids entertained. Smart UHD-TVs throughout the house will allow you to access all your favorite online content.
Come home from a day of skiing and relax in an oversized 7-person hot tub and grill on the new stainless steel BBQ grill.
While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.

Took a summer trip here with some friends and family. The house is amazing. Spotless, huge, and every room felt private and quiet. SoCal Vacations was awesome to deal with- super friendly and responsive. Overall incredible stay!

The property was well maintained and clean. Close to the action of Big Bear Lake but tucked away so we did not feel overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the city. we would stay here again in the future.

Escape from it all cottage
This three story is perfectly located. It is a short distance from town and close to skiing during winter. The silence was wonderful. The house was clean and well furnished with everything you need in a home. The kitchen is very well stocked and there are two refrigerators… one in garage also. Would definitely return.

great family getaway experience
The house was fantastic. The kitchen, game room, and bathrooms were all well stocked to meet everyone's needs. We loved the hot tub on the patio. All rooms were well decorated to make us feel at home. We would definitely stay here again!

Great property...horrible housecleaning
The good: The property itself is great! Nice size rooms, good amenities (good selection of games & appliances), good location and nice neighborhood. Having charging cables throughout the house was super convenient! We had a great time playing shuffleboard! We asked for fans (since there's no a/c and it was pretty warm when we visited, and the property management brought extra fans. Unfortunately, trying to get enough towels was impossible. Upon arriving, there was 1 bath sheet, 1 hand towel and 1 washrag PER ROOM. We had 9 adults and 4 children - we requested and were given additional towels but never had enough for each person to have their own. Consequently, we did a lot of laundry especially since the bath towel was also your jacuzzi towel.
The not-so-good: It would have been far more convenient to have a garage door opener rather than having to walk up the front steps, through the front door and then down the stairs to open the garage. I'm not lazy -- it's just inconvenient. Upon arriving and starting to put groceries away, I found a plate full of crackers and chocolate in a cabinet, cheerios on the dining room floor, other packages of opened (I mean like open/stale - not like opened and stored for others to use), cobwebs on the headboard and diapers and other trash behind the chest in the master (moved to look for an outlet). I notified the property manager and they did offer to send housekeeping up but I had already cleaned up because it icked me out.
The crockpot and toaster were sticky and gross.
Overall, the property is good - I just think their housekeeping and towel situation needs to step up.

great family cabin
My family I enjoyed the cabin, it was spacious and great for all the family to come together but also have each our own space.

Perfect home for a group!
We stayed for a week with 2 other families. There were 7 adults and 5 kids (11mos-6yrs) and the set up was great! The older 2 slept in the bunk room on the 1st floor and they thought the bunk room was soooo cool! This house is equipped with everything you would need from the kitchen to games. It was also the last week of skiing at Snow Summit and it was such a quick walk up there from the house.
We had a really fun tournament playing shuffleboard and foosball one night too!
We are actually talking about renting this same property yearly for our friendcation!
The rental company was also great to work with and very communicative with me!

Awesome House for Ski Trip
We had an amazing time in Big Bear because of this house. The location was just a short walk to snow summit so our party could come and go as they wanted for skiing. The house was equipped with everything that we could have wanted and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this home!

Perfect get away for a group of families
We had such a fun time at Half Stone Lodge. The house had more than enough space for 3 families and was exactly as described. Plenty of linens, towels, blankets, and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could need plus more. The check in/out instructions were very easy and the staff responded to text quickly. We would love to plan another stay at this property.
5.0 / 10.0
The pictures don't do the home justice. It's much more spacious than we anticipated. The kitchen was large and had every gadget imaginable. The kids loved the bunkbeds and the playroom was highly used. The backyard and deck became a big hang out spot, while the living room was spacious and cozy enough for the entire family. We only had two complaints, the first, was the number of towels available. Not too big a deal because there was a washer and dryer available, but would have been nice to have extra towels in the home. Secondly, all the mattresses in the bedrooms with the exception of the bunk beds, had very hard mattresses. No one except the kids got a good nights sleep. While we would love to stay in this home next year, the firm mattresses makes it very difficult to return.

Great Cabin
We were looking for a cabin large enough to accomodate our family and this cabin definitely fit the bill. The location is also great--super close to Snow Summit. The cabin was clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed... even extra blankets and pillows. The only negative is that it's 3 floors and the stairs were dangerous for our toddlers.

Pleasant escape from the City
This place really was perfect for my children they range from 11-3 they loved it. There was space enough for each one of us. The amount of freedom but closeness we had was really needed. Thank you for having us and we can not wait to come back and enjoy.

New Years Bash!
The property was amazing in is super lose to Snow Summit and Bear Mountain Resort was only a five minute drive. Close to stores and the house had more activities than listed to keep everyone plenty busy. I do not remember the TV on except to watch the ball drop the entire stay! We can not wait to get back up and excited to book here again.

Another great trip
This was our second trip to this property this year. Great location (if you're skiing summit, you can literally walk to the lifts). The kids love the property and I'm sure we'll be back again. Cabin is clean, well appointed and in a great location. Kids love the bunkroom downstairs. We'll see you again in March!

Everything you want in a rental
Beautiful home with lots of space and activities for the whole family. Enough flat and stem ware for a large group. The only down side was two of the large beds are very uncomfortable, however would totally stay again!

Excellent Stay!
We had a great stay at this property. It was very clean, well-stocked and the photos are accurate. The wifi was great, and allowed all three of my kids to log-in for their school Zoom sessions at the same time with no issues. The neighborhood was nice and allowed for many walks that we enjoyed. We'd definitely stay again!
