This vacation rental offers a number of great options to enjoy outdoor living including furnished, wraparound decks with peek-a-boo slope views, a private hot tub, and a second-floor balcony off the primary-suite complete with a gas fire table, two hammocks, and two Adirondack chairs. Enjoy the full 11,000-square-foot lot complete with large outdoor activity space and a private hill that’s great for sledding in winter and lawn games in summer.

The interior of this home boasts mountain-chic charm throughout with exposed ceiling beams, wood floors, and a gas fireplace in the living area - a great space to unwind with your loved ones and start planning the next day’s adventures. Switch on the gas fireplace on chilly nights and stream your favorite channels on the flatscreen TV. Use the vintage turntable and the selection of vinyl records to spin your favorite tunes, and then cook up delicious meals in the full chef’s kitchen. The kitchen comes equipped with stainless-steel appliances and a breakfast bar, while the dining table offers a terrific spot for meals or family game nights.

This premier bedroom comes complete with a full sitting area to lounge in with your loved one, a 65' flatscreen TV, and a space heater to stay extra warm on those cold winter nights.

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!
