☆ Recent Guest Review: We had an amazing stay at this Big Bear Airbnb! The cabin was cozy and beautifully decorated, providing the perfect mountain getaway. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and the living area was perfect for relaxing and letting our kids play after a day of exploring. The location was ideal—close to the Village and the lake, yet tucked away for privacy. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great stay. We can`t wait to return! Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Big Bear!` Kendal
