It was very last minute and it still was a easy time getting this beautiful cabin the man I spoke to was easy going and had a good sense of humor the cabin is super kid friendly and we all in joyed our time away from home

It was winter storm when we stayed at ray’s wonderful home. Inside house was clean. Pans and utensils are nice. The owner was very easy to talk to. We did not get a chance to use most of the amenities outside as the snow accumulated to 5ft. It was wild. Board games kept us busy. Overall stay was good. Will come back again for sure.

Great little house in excellent location. Lots of great outdoor space for sledding and snow fun. Host is super responsive and the house was clean. We had a lot of fun and will definitely return.

This cabin was exactly what my small family needed for a weekend of winter fun! Tucked away in a super quiet neighborhood we felt like we had the area all to ourselves. My daughter loved the swingset and the sledding hill. We cooked all our meals in the cabin which saved a bunch of money. It's just a short drive to downtown and the lake. Ray was very helpful with information prior to our arrival. Make sure you bring chains if it has snowed recently as the cabin is up a little hill that may be icy!

To start the owner Ray was very good with communicating we us about all the ins and outs of everything. He was very nice and super helpful. The house was just perfect for our family. Very clean. And very comfortable. The location was also perfect. The house is right in the middle of everything around. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook. My kids loved playing in the yard and the sledding hill behind the house was so cool. We will definitely be returning. I would recommend this house to anyone! Thanks ray!

The property owner was very nice, informative, and helpful during our stay. The house was cozy and the central air kept us very warm. We had a toddler with us and needed to get baby gate because there are a small set of stairs to get to the bed rooms. The property had a sledding hill out back which was great. However, if there is a heavy snow be sure and have chains for your car, otherwise you will need to shovel a 400 foot (or so) long driveway to get to the parking in front of the house. Overall, it was a great stay!

Every visit is different and great! We've stayed at Ray's cabin in summer, late winter and now around the holidays. Every time the cabin has been great and Ray is always extremely welcoming and helpful. Ours kids are excited to go and run down to the bunk beds as soon as we arrive. The cabin has had snow even when the surrounding areas are bare and the sledding hill is great for young kids. We are looking forward to another trip again soon. Maybe we'll try spring next time.

Ray is an amazing host. He called the day before to make sure that we had the lay of the land along with food and recreation recommendations. The cabin itself was warm and comfortable and had all of the amenities that one would need. The patio and gazebo were perfect for the stars and night and coffee with a view in the morning. The location was absolutely perfect. It was far enough outside of town to be totally secluded yet close enough to get to anything within minutes. We plan on staying again!

Just the best! first time visiting the area. Ray is super and so is George! this place is everything and then some. My kids absolutely loved the play set**BIG PLUS** Perfect location to unwind from the busy city life.. Can't wait to stay here again.. Thank you again!!!

This house is a bilevel, so there were very few stairs to navigate. The main floor was spacious. Plenty of room for 4 people and daytime guests. Leather couch loveseat and recliner. Beautiful tv. Every board game you can remember from your childhood. The kitchen was roomy. Amenities included central heat, central air, dishwasher, clothes washer / dryer. The bedrooms were small, but I liked that too. Just enough room for what I needed. Ray went out of his way to make sure I arrived safe and sound. He offered his services as a guide and told me where I could find what I might need. (grocery store / bike rental / trails / boating/ etc.)

Great cabin for a family of three and a larger sized dog. Perfect location, close to the lake, the village and Snow Summit, and hiking trails are within walking distance. The home has everything you need to cook dinner or bbq for a night in. The owner was so nice and helpful and communicative. The property manager nearby was super nice and had some good suggestions of nearby sites to take in. We would definitely stay here again!

We spent the most wonderful time in Big Bear. My husband, our 4 little furkids and myself. Everything was perfect. The house is just like the pictures. Ray, owner and host gave me call before starting our vacation and he gave me all of the information about the house, our stay, what to expect, great restaurant recommendations, hiking trails, etc. We felt at home. The patio was perfect for morning coffee with the furkids. We loved watching TV and catching up with a few shows and movies. Lots to choose from, dvds, roku TV, tons of fun games, puzzles, etc. We had a lot of fun at night. George, the property manager was friendly and incredibly helpful, we enjoyed chatting with him. I had a blast with the swing set outside. The house is close to the village and to the lake. Our dogs loved the walks and short drives to town. Cozy, comfortable, very clean and well located little house. I kept trying to imagine this place in the winter with snow around, a beauty for sure. We didn't want to leave! We truly loved it. THANK YOU from Todd, Carmen and furkids, Aslan, Pepe, Lexie and Sasha ❤️

This was our first trip to Big Bear and it didn't disappoint. The property is just far enough away from town to give you privacy but close enough to enjoy the many restaurants and activities with ease. Ray is great to work with very responsive owner.

5 stars

This house was perfect for our little family. The playset was a huge plus for my kids. It was a good location out of the hustle and bustle but a short drive to get to the Village. We loved walking to country kitchen right down the road for breakfast each morning. The host was great and made sure we had everything we needed and if we had any questions! Would definatley stay again!

Owner was extremely communicative and accommodating! We will come here again. My husband loved the privacy and he never notices anything ;) Home is very clean and had everything!

Nice and neat place thank u

The house was just right for our family of four. Ray was incredible! We told him we would be arriving late at night so he made sure we’d arrive to a warm home. Kids loved it. We rented from Johnny’s Ski and Snowboard rental just around the corner so it was super easy to pick up and return our gear. House is in a great location.

Listing was exactly as described. Ray, the host, was very responsive. He even reached out to speak to me personally to run down all the specifics. Would definitely stay here again!

What a great place this was. The house is very cute and this place is centered near lots of things to do. The house had everything we needed. We cooked everyday. The beds were comfortable and everything was fresh and clean. We didn't realize there was a BBQ on the patio so we will definitely be using it this summer. We can't wait to go back. This felt like home away from home It felt safe and the fact that the city is right up the street made it easy to find outdoor fun at Alpine slide Magic Mountain. We also enjoyed downtown as we walked around with our hot cocoa. It's nice that there are several warming locations with bombfires to warm up. Thank you so much Ray. Your communication was appreciated and your home is lovely. We will definetely be back this year.

This space is great for people wanting lots to do indoors after a long day outside. We watched movies, made hot chocolate, played board games. The location was great, just 10 minutes from the mountain and a really great area around the house. The main room does get very hot when the heater is turned on so we slept with the window open but the rest of the house feels great. Host was great, communicated all things clearly before our arrival and we were able to get in with ease. Definitely recommend!

The host was super nice and made us feel comfortable and reassured us that we did not need to bring anything other than our food. When we got there it was beautiful since the cabin was covered in snow. Once we got inside the house we noticed that it was a bit outdated but thought nothing of it. As we were there a bit longer we encountered the following. *Toilet bowl looked dirty (was stained) *Shower head did not work *My wife was taking a shower and rubbed out of hot water(she had to rinse herself with freezing cold water) *The railing for the bunk bed was not secured * Cooking utensils were burnt and old , knives were not sharp and old. *Some of the inside of the kitchen cabinets were dirty. *The fan on top of stove was dirty. *The hooks for coats was not secure to the wall. *All sleds were broken (1 worked out of 5) *The gazebo looked like no one ever maintained it. *the heater got extremely hot upstairs (was so uncomfortable) but would not warm up the downstairs area were the bedrooms were at. * Overall this will be a great cabin for a vacation if they actually update and remodeled it. We booked for two nights and only ended up staying one night because we just didn’t feel comfortable. We couldn’t wait but to leave.

Our kids wanted to come back after visiting in the summer and see the cabin with snow. Even without a lot of snow this winter, there was enough snow left tucked away that we could enjoy some quiet snow play. Everything was very clean and as expected. Communication with Ray was top notch. I'm sure we'll be back again.

Great contact from the host. Easy check in and out. House was the perfect size for our little family. Good location and nice and quiet

It's just far enough from the main street to be extra quiet, but not so far that you won't go into town. Plenty of amenities at the house that you could stay there the whole time and not be bored.

House was great. Playground and sledding hill were great forthe kids.

Amazing property and seamless checkin and checkout process. great hosts will stay again. My boys loved the semi private sled hill

Good experience. Host very responsive. Sledding hill was fun for my kid.

We had a great time sleeping and playing on the play structure.

Had a great time! Ray was a great host!

We had a brief but perfect stay. We introduced our Australian Shepherd to snow for the first time and made pecan tarts in the kitchen. The location of the property was private yet still within minutes of dining and exploring. We would definitely book again.

Cottage is on top of a snow covered hill and haz a cozy “I’m definitely in Big Bear feel”. Plenty of amenities so you can shop at the local grocery and eat and do laundry from the comfort of home. The backyard sledding is absolutely amazing! Great place for a family with kids too. The property manager had excellent communication and made the experience easy. We had a wonderful time.
