I had a wonderful stay at The Balboa at Big Bear! The property was spotless and beautifully maintained, creating a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. The surroundings were absolutely stunning, offering the perfect blend of relaxation and nature. What I appreciated most was the privacy—no one bothered us, allowing us to truly unwind and enjoy the tranquility. It was the ideal getaway, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene and beautiful place to stay. We'll definitely be returning!

An amazing home away from home!

My husband and I went up to Big Bear for Labor Day weekend and it was so nice and relaxing while also being so much fun! My husband loved the balconies attached to the upstairs master bedroom. I loved the attention to detail with all the aesthetic decor throughout the house! We both absolutely loved the property location because it was very private. So when I came to using the hot tub, it was so much fun and you didn’t feel like people are watching you. We also really enjoyed the shuffle board, outdoor fire-pit, the bbq, and the tv’s. Only thing I could say wasn’t %100 amazing was the wifi being kinda spotty and the refrigerator door being difficult to close correctly.Overall the house is an amazing house and we wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Girls Annual Trip

We are three high school friends who get together each year for a few days. This has been annually for about 30 years. Usually we go to the beach but we tried something new and rented this beautiful VRBO in Big Bear Lake! It was perfect! Very clean with lots of amenities. Quiet and clean neighborhood, close to the town. Would highly recommend this home.

Lovely Stay!

My husband & I really enjoyed this cute cabin. We loved the hammocks upstairs, it was so relaxing swinging & looking up into the trees! The cabin was clean & cozy. We were not far from town which was nice & the neighborhood was very quiet. We had a wonderful stay & would love to come back!

Awesome Cabin!

What an incredible stay at this Cabin. The game loft was great for the kids and the layout worked perfectly to entertain during our stay. We love the fact it’s on a culdasac and the kids were able to get a pickup game of baseball out front. The home was clean and the mountain-modern decor helped deliver the perfect experience. We will definitely book again.
