Great house . Super clean . We felt like home . Will for sure come back . Attention to detail was awesome . Thanks Chad for letting us share ur home .

The house is clean, all the amenities are available. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and serve a full meal. Very comfortable location! The decor is tasteful and very well laid out. We would love to return

Its been a long time since we've been able to get away. It was nice and quite and yet close to everything. We would do it again.

Especially enjoyed the view from the dining room table. Great for families.

The house is really nice and clean and the hot tub on the deck is awesome. Looks just like the pictures.

Everything about this place is 5 stars!! This cabin is spectacular, luxurious, beautifully crafted and decorated! We watched the sunrise in the hot tub every morning! We cooked in the large beautiful kitchen, our dogs loved this place! (A note about bringing your dogs-never leave them off leash or unattended-this cabin sits at the foot of the beautiful mountains, in the midst of wildlife-which means yes-coyotes.) Our dogs are totally fine and safe at home but that’s because we were vigilant. The dogs loved looking over the cabin from the loft, and spent their time watching wild life from the window. We were so happy to bring them! Truly a spectacular place to stay! Probably the best Vrbo/Airbnb place I’ve stayed! Also The owners were very good with communication, and responded promptly.

It is a beautiful rental property. That is very well maintained!!

My wife and I stay at a lot of short term rentals, and we were very impressed with this one. The cabin was clean and comfortable especially the king size bed in the master bedroom. We were minutes from everything, restaurants, skiing, hiking, and of course the lake. We hated to leave.

We spent a couple of nights and definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Big Bear. It's a very comfortable 2-story cabin with extra large windows that fill most of the rooms with sunshine throughout the day. The panoramic views of the ski mountain are simply breathtaking. Truly a great place to hang out and relax!

Our family just stayed at the Rare Bear for a ski trip, and can't say enough good things about it! The cabin is beautiful, immaculately clean, clearly recently remodeled, very modern, comfortable and the perfect size for a family or group. We loved all of the woodwork and thoughtful design touches throughout the home. (My dad marveled at the timber staircase!) We had five in our group -- four adults and one 5-year old. Our daughter loved sleeping in the bunk bed room. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom which was very roomy, and the king bed was extremely comfortable. The views from the large windows upstairs are beautiful -- we enjoyed watching the snow while staying cozy in the living room near the fireplace, or eating at the large dining table. The house is conveniently located very close to shopping and dining, and a short drive to the slopes. The little neighborhood where the house is situated is lovely and very quiet. We never heard any noise in the evenings. One thing to be aware of is that there is no garage or covered parking, so if you are there on a snowy weekend, you'll need to do some shoveling. We will definitely reserve this home again next time we make a group trip to Big Bear! Thanks, Chad!

My family of 4 stayed at Rare Bear for Thanksgiving week. It worked perfectly for us. The house is just as charming as the pictures. The feel of a log cabin with all the log trim and stairs but fresh and new with all the conveniences and space of a new home. Perfect for Thanksgiving because I had a big, well equipped kitchen for my cooking. Lots of room for the kids, including a loft area to hang out. Plus we had perfect crisp weather for hiking. And we were able to bring our dog along! It couldn't have been a better holiday vacation.

This was the perfect home for our weekend getaway in Big Bear. We will definitely be back! The location was great(close to the village, lake, zoo, etc...) the interior is clean, beautiful and totally remodeled with a big kitchen for everyone to gather and views views views! The owner was very accommodating and accessible. Thanks for sharing your picturesque home with us!

Two thumbs up! Great place to stay, close to everything. Wonderful views from the living room and dining room. Large open space making it very comfortable living for the whole family. Loved our stay, will book here again.

We had a great experience at the Rare Bear. The location was great. We rode mountain bikes right from the house to Summit all day then back to the cabin. The place was very nice inside and out. We enjoyed bar-b-qing outside, playing games with the kids, and adult happy hour each night. We would definitely keep Rare on the top of our list for the perfect Big Bear getaway.

Very nice home and awesome biew

This cabin was a great place to stay for a girls weekend and it is big enough to have a large family stay with plenty of room to relax and hang out. I enjoyed the large kitchen and master suite. The owners have done a lot to make this big open cabin cozy and giving you the feeling you are in the mountains inside the cabin. It is close to everything you need. 5 stars is not enough!! ;)
