PARKING: There are two driveways and two garages. Off winter you can easily park up to 5 cars on the property. Street parking is prohibited. In snowy conditions, the upper driveway, being steep, gets icy and very slippery. When icy, we recommend only one car be parked on the upper driveway and parked at the bottom. The lower driveway is flat and also has a 2 car garage, thus accommodating 4 cars in summer or winter. There is plenty of permitted street parking, even in the winter; however, if it snows the city snowplows need access to the streets. If your car is parked on the street when the city has to plow they will likely maneuver around your car, but may tow or cite you as permitted by law. Regardless, during winter, the risks during scheduled snow plowing are yours. Please note, I contract annually with a local snowplowing service to remove snow from the driveways.
Surveillance Cameras, Noise Monitoring and Remote Control Devices: There are 5 motion censored exterior cameras on the premises: 1 at the lower driveway; 1 at the upper driveway; 1 at the 2nd floor front door and deck; 1 at the 1st floor front door and 1 on the 2nd floor rear deck (spa is not visible). There are 3 noise monitoring devices that measure noise levels in decibels but do not record any audio. They are located at the front deck, rear deck, and living room. Lastly, several functions can be controlled remotely by the Owner. These include the front door lock, the water supply line, the thermostats and the exterior landscape lighting.
There are The house is located within 2 miles of the two ski resorts. In the summer take in a stroll to the lake, or ride bikes (5) provided at the house, for boating, jet skiing, water skiing and fishing. City License #: VRR-2024-0824 Expiration 6/7/25.

Simply wonderful home.

Everyone really loved this house. So big the kids were playing hide and seek. Very clean and has plenty of room, kitchen is well stocked. Great quiet neighborhood, in a very good location. Highly recommend staying here.

We had 12 family members ages 5-79 at our annual family reunion. The "littles" enjoyed playing hide and seek in the house and the rest of us just enjoyed playing games and sitting around together in the great room and looking out the fabulous 2 story window. Martin was a wonderful host and was very responsive to any questions or problems that arose. The one drawback was that I did not notice that there was no air-conditioning and we were in the midst of a horrendous California heat wave. The downstairs cooled down in the evening but it stayed pretty warm upstairs. Would love to go back when the weather is cooler.

Martin was a great host and provided super communication both before and during our stay. The house is massive and gave our large group plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy our time there. Very clean and had a well-stocked kitchen! The kids enjoyed snow-play in the back and side yards and it was close enough to the slopes to have someone easily drop off and pick up the ski and snowboarders in our group. Would love to come back another time. Highly recommend!

The Mt Villa property exceeded our expectations! Great proximity to skiing, sledding and conveniently getting around town. The property is well maintained and has everything needed to accommodate large parties. We had a family reunion with 10 people and the house was perfect. The property is beautiful inside and out in an area of larger homes and cabins. Martin was a fantastic host and was very attentive to anything we needed. We will definitely be coming back for another stay in the future.

Very impressed with the villa. When you step inside, all you'll say is WOW!
Plenty of beds, somewhat to soft though.
Beautiful spa on the deck, but couldn't lower the temperature, too hot for the summertime.

Awesome property. We will definitely be back next year! The owner was very helpful and communication was great before and during our trip. He even allowed us to checkout several hours late to wait for the roads to open after the blizzard.

We have stayed at a few places in Big Bear and decided to bring our 4 kids, spouses and granddaughters for my son's 30th birthday. We will most definitely be coming back next year. The large beautiful home was even better than the photos! It was clean and so comfortable. It was really helpful that it came stocked with everything you need. We were there for 4 nights and we didn't have to purchase any extra essentials. Plenty of towels and soft blankets. We were able to sled out in the backyard everyday which was a huge plus for us with little ones. The host was so helpful and answered any questions we had very quickly. It's so close to town and groceries are just a mile away. We have nothing but good things to say about this VRBO except I wish we had stayed longer!

Exactly what I had hoped for after seeing this listing! Beautiful view, large open space and kitchen equipped with everything you would possibly need.
Beds were comfortable and hot water at all times with a group of 16. Streets are maintained quickly when it snows and neighborhood is very safe and quiet. Host is extremely responsive and genuinely cares that you enjoy your stay! Very professionally maintained property.

This house was over and above what we expected. Our family had a great time. There was plenty of room for all of us. If you’re looking for a place for a large family, this is absolutely the house. Five star.

We loved our time here! So close to town, the lake, and supermarkets. Beautiful neighborhood and property, check in/out was super easy and texting with the host was great in case anything came up (nothing did though!). Some of the beds are slightly less private than others, but as big group of family or friends will have plenty of room here to be comfortable. We loved it and will be back!

A group of 16 women (coming in from all areas; CA, MA, TX) stayed at this spacious and beautiful property in Big Bear. The house accommodated all of us with ease; everyone had a spot to sleep, enough room to spread out, and gather.
Martin was an excellent host and communication was quick and easy.
I would absolutely recommend booking this property to anyone who would like to spread out and relax with a big group of people. It was truly wonderful and special! Thank you Martin and VRBO

Great Vacation Rental
Ten family members had a wonderful week at this house. It was very comfortable and enjoyed by young and old. It had everything that we could have asked for and was well stocked. The only suggestions I would have is to supply wash cloths for every person, not just one per bathroom. We definitely would rent this house again if planning another trip to Big Bear Lake.

Family fun at Big Bear Lake
Pool table was a plus. Pack and play for infant was appreciated. Things to do in town included go-karts, roller coaster, pontoon rental, shopping, and restaurants.

Spectacular
This property was simply amazing. Very spacious, clean, very warm and welcoming. Plenty of amenities in the kitchen, two refrigerator/ freezers, lots of space if you're the sort to bring and prepare your own meals. Great insulation- daytime stayed cool and the nights kept warm (this was a summer rental). Games galore, with a massive rumpus room and even a poker table (flipped over from the kitchen nook table). Jacuzzi was well kept, the barbecue sizzled, appliances and accouterments worked like clockwork.
Centrally located, the Villa seemed both isolated and part a community. Great little hike from the backyard to some spectacular views of the lake. Five minutes to grocery stores, less than two minutes to get gas and convenience store items. Rode the provided bikes to the lake in less than four minutes (the ride back was uphill, so took an understandable bit longer).
Martin, the host, was fantastic. I contacted him many times before our stay, and he was prompt, gracious and detail-oriented in his replies.
I wholeheartedly recommend this property. From stem to stern, this was an experience to remember.

Excellent Stay!
This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful home and I'm sure we will return again. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook full meals. Bedrooms are spacious and the beds and sheets are very comfortable. The downstairs game room is set-up like almost like a separate apartment with a large restroom and a separate entrance into the house which is great if you are traveling with older kids or separate families.
The location of the house is great! Very close to the grocery stores, but secluded enough so you don't hear any cars or neighborhood traffic. There are two washers and dryers available to use which comes in handy if you are hosting a larger group. The second fridge in the garage is very convenient so you can have a separate fridge for drinks and food. The porch that runs along the front of the house is great and perfect for relaxing in the mornings and evenings.
Martin is WONDERFUL to deal with and always responds right away if there are ever any questions or concerns.
The check-in process is the easiest I've ever experienced in all of the years I've been renting homes in Big Bear.
Thank you for everything!

Perfect Family Get together
This property exceeded expectations. We (grandparents), our two children, spouses and their young children had the perfect mix of large central living space for gathering and games with separate sleeping quarters for each family. The space is beautiful beyond what the photos show - both indoor and outdoor gathering spots and beautiful natural hiking paths right outside the back deck. It was immaculately clean and SAFE (lots of stairs but thick carpet throughout, rounded table edges so toddlers could toddle all over without a single bump!) Easy drive to lake and town. Loved every minute. Thank you, Martin!

Absolutely Gorgeous Home
This home is absolutely gorgeous and incredibly comfortable and inviting. I loved the large spaces for family/friends to gather together or the many spaces you can go for quieter times. Martin was a great host and was able to accommodate an early check-in for our group. Highly recommend this property.

Spectacular vacation mansion
Absolutely blown away with this rental property. The pictures do not so it justice, and is a must see in person. It's has many rooms, beds, couches to comfortably sleep your whole group. The backyard is essentially a mountain with beautiful views of the city and lake at the top. Martin is very helpful with all your needs and is quick to reply to texts and is very accommodating. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Love this home. Martin was awesome. When we had a question he was very prompt. Super kind and helpful. Will stay here again. Thank you for allowing our family to make great memories in your home.

Not so clean and breaking down.
Dirty socks under beds, dust on every ledge, a horrendous smell will linger if you open the second fridge in the garage, handles coming off doors, broken furniture in every room, full garbage welcoming you in the bathrooms, missing chunks of carpet and the lights flicker. When you glance at the house overall, it’s bigger than the pictures and very welcoming. Once you stay for a while it feels like you’re staying in a forgotten home that’s falling apart. It didn’t help that I communicated this to the owner and he seemed indifferent about it all. And to top it off, I asked for an hour or two later check out as 10am comes quick when you’re packing yourself, your family and cleaning up behind yourself- he flatly said, “no, sorry… more people are coming to stay and the ‘cleaning crew’ need to get in”
If it’s the same “cleaning crew” that cleaned before we got there? You sir, are being swindled.

The cabin was perfect for a multi-family getaway vacation in Big Bear! The drive to the lake/downtown area was 10-15 minutes and there is a grocery store a few minutes away. There are also plenty of hikes and water activities in the area (suitable for both adults and kids). We ended up kayaking at Big Bear Lake at a rental place near by and had so much fun. Check in/check out process was very easy; the host was also easy to communicate with when we were looking for tools to work on the bikes. We especially enjoyed the pool table in the game room, ping pong table in the garage, the road bikes provided, the hot tub on the patio, and all the board games provided. Most importantly there was enough silverware, plates, and pots to do cooking for a large party. Would recommend this place for anyone visiting the area!
