House is the cleanest VRBO I've ever stayed in. The hosts are so nice and accommodating. The even allowed us to stay an extra day to avoid dangerous roads and enjoy the snow. It was a great Christmas present for my family.

Amazing Place! 10/10 would Recommend!

This place is awesome! The living room furniture and beds are comfy. It’s a very cozy cabin and spacious along with being nicely decorated. The neighborhood is so calm and nice. They have all the amenities and a fun game room! I stayed here for my birthday weekend with my family and I had a blast. The owners are very communicative and nice people. Thank you for letting me stay at your cabin!

Best Stay at Big Bear!!

My family visits Big Bear every year and this place has been our favorite so far. Despite not receiving a lot of snow, the property made up for it. So many amenities to enjoy and a lot of space for my family of 6 (plus our pup). The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. The drive to stores and restaurants wasn't bad either--nice neighborhood. Thank you!

Chalet with a view

We had a great time at this property. Tania and Peter made the whole experience special. We were able to check in early which helped with our two grandchildren and our dog to settle in and explore. The house was perfect with two bedrooms on the main floor, kitchen, dining area and comfortable living room tv and fireplace. A master bedroom downstairs by the game room and exit to the backyard and hot tub (which they fixed for us quickly) Nice quiet neighborhood to walk our dog around. Loved having coffee on balcony overlooking fields. We highly recommend staying here. We will be back.

Not a typical VRBO

If you want to know about the property just check the listing. It’s in the east side of the area so it’s quiet and the Burros are active. The house is set up like an actual house. No random beds squeezed into eatery hook and cranny trying to attract large groups. My wife and daughter were the only ones with me and it was awesome. Oh and every tv had streaming subscriptions logged in so you could watch whatever you could imagine without needing you own log-ins which was a nice touch. We visited in the summer and the location was great. We will definitely come back and stay again, maybe with a few more people because the house is huge!

An awesome vacation home with wonderful hosts

Tania and Peter really went the extra mile to make sure that this Big Bear retreat has all the comforts you need and much more. It's the little things that set this place apart from others, from the elegantly designed coffee bar to the rainfall shower heads with stocked soap/shampoo dispensers, everything had a cool extra touch. I regret not bringing my dogs, because I've never been to such a well setup dog friendly home. I'll definitely bring them next time I book this house. The beds and couches were all really comfortable, and the decked out game room had everything we needed to have a fun time. The Jacuzzi was as clean as can be and operated perfectly. I also really enjoyed hanging out around the living room fireplace. The hosts were very communicative and friendly, and even went out of their way to ship us some items we left behind. I highly recommend staying here for your next Big Bear trip. Thank you Tania and Peter!

Perfect getaway

Wonderful stay at the cozy bear cottage! Easiest check in and check out I have ever experienced! Especially appreciate the trash service, we didn't have to pack up our trash with us like we have had to do at every other place we stayed in big bear. Everything about this trip was like being at home. Tania and Peter have taken great care to make this cabin a real get away. We traveled with our older kids/teens and 2 dogs. House was very pet friendly! Probably not good for an older dog that has trouble getting around because the whole house has laminate flooring, including the stairs, which in my experience can be slippy for old pups. Our dogs were fine though and loved laying in the sun in the living room. The kids had a blast in the game room, especially playing our switch we brought from home the huge game room TV. The bedrooms were all comfortable with nice beds and bedding. Everything is beautifully decorated. Only suggestion is to put up a window covering in the downstairs bedroom bump out window because the sun peeks directly through the window right to our faces in bed at 6:45am. Good morning! The house stayed warm, which we were surprised by since we always expect cabins to be a little drafty. Not the cozy bear! We enjoyed using the telescope to watch the wild donkeys in the meadow off the balcony. Kitchen was well equipped. And we especially loved the coffee bar! Would love to stay again. Thank you for the much needed stress free getaway.
