A great cozy cabin!

My family and I (2 adults, 2 kids & 1 small dog) stayed at Big Bear Hangout for 2 nights and had an excellent time! The cabin was stocked with tons of blankets and space heaters (and central heat) that kept us warm when it was snowing and cold outside. We loved the hot tub after a long day on the slopes and playing board games and with the arcade game. The owner was super responsive to my messages. We all felt very welcomed in their home and would definitely book this property again!

This cabin was more than we expected... everyone loved the loft and pac man machine. Our host recommended a great park at the lake with a designated swimming area.. we all had so much fun!

Amazing stay!

This little cabin was the perfect size for 7 friends. It was cozy, clean, and close to everything! We walked to Lumberjack Cafe in the mornings. Trista was incredibly communicative and had a fast reply for every question/message I sent. Pro tip - if you want to use the hot tub make sure you raise the temperature a few hours before you intend to use it. We forgot and weren't able to enjoy it with the hours we had left.

From the time we registered to checkout, the experience was amazing. The house is clean, bright, comfortable and inviting. Amenities were great. The cabin was nicely insulated and cozy. Entertainment had lots of board games and the little Pac-Man arcade machine was the highlight :)

We loved our stay. The house is adorable and clean. My kids couldn't stop playing Pacman and Foosball and all the board games. The beds were comfy and everyone slept well. I loved that we could sit down by the fireplace while the kids played in the loft.

The property overall is clean and tidy. There is a little bit of stains on carpet, wish it was tile or wood floor. The toilet runs at random times. Other than that beds are clean, plenty of blankets.

Foosball and Friends

Quaint little house that is ideal for a family or group of friends. The foosball table was the selling point for us. Many manly groans were uttered. Also, the property is pretty close to just about everything there is to do in Big Bear. Nice overall.
