"The location is fantastic! However, the interior photos on the website didn’t quite capture the cabin’s true character, as the sofa is old and dirty, cabin seemed a bit worn and dusty. Also, the cabin doesn’t have air conditioning, so it can get quite warm in the summer. I should have done a more thorough inspection before booking. Despite that, we had a wonderful time in the cabin. Thanks!"

"Property is well designed and maintained. It is the perfect size for a family/group of 4-5 people. The hosts were very responsive, although we did not really need to ask them for much during our stay. The location is at a bit of a distance from the Big Bear village, so access to restaurants/town is not very quick."

Liked the room that had AC, heating, a fireplace, and a guest book for visitors to write messages. Fast Wo-Fi. Did not have enough time to explore the living room with a piano and a guitar, veranda, or garden area. Minor issues: narrow staircases and the room AC occasionally smelled moldy"
