Cabin was very nice and clean, well-set-up for our 4-day relaxation and touring in Big Bear Lake--surprisingly quiet and private in a very pleasant neighborhood. Beds were comfy, rooms were spacious and well-laid out, kitchen had everything we needed for food prep, cooking and dining for our group of 4 mature adults. We even played cornhole and hung around the firepit on one of the afternoons/evenings. Thank you! ##### michol t.
