Gentle Squirrel provides fast Wifi, smart TV's, spa, wood fireplace, outdoor gas fire pit and grill. The entire property is just waiting for you.
The Gentle Squirrel is a great place to stay! Super relaxing, close to everything yet not in the middle of it all, the amenities were spot on, and space is extremely comfortable. Our family loved it and will be back again!
The Gentle Squirrel was the perfect place for our weekend stay for a friendsâs wedding nearby. It had everything we needed. The backyard is a nice place to relax and have your morning coffee.
We had everything we needed to have a great family getaway. Jacuzzi for downtime , the village for dinner and a beautiful neighborhood to relax. Definitely will be coming back.
Everything was perfect! My wish is give to them ten stars, because I got quiet place, cleaned, Darma was kind, attentive, the description of they place was exactly was expected. My family and I come back on summer per sure!
Location was perfect (1/2 mile from my best friend who lives in BB and who's birthday we were celebrating! We took advantage of all of the amenities; fire pit, hot tub, corn hole. The cabin was cozy and comfortable. We just had 3 of us staying there, but could very comfortably accommodate several more. The bed I slept in was very comfy. We cooked dinner both nights. The kitchen is roomy and had the basic cookware, but bring your own foil/tupperware for leftovers. Luckily my friend went to her house and came back with some items that we didn't think to bring (also spices other than salt/pepper). The owner, Dayma, was very communicative and accommodating. We hope we are able to book again for our next trip up the mtn!
Our stay at gentle squirrel was awesome! As some of the first renters of this VRBO we found everything in working order and it was just right in terms of location to the lake, hiking and town. Would absolutely stay here again!
This house was just perfect for our quick weekend away! Everything was great and the house and surrounding property were very clean and well maintained. The location was great as we didnât want to stay âin townâ. We hope to book again in the future!
Loved the property ! They had all the toys my kids needed to play! My daughter birthday day was amazing they understood guests were coming for the day!
Had an amazing time staying here with my family. Very clean, lots of essentials where provided. Nice and private backyard. The hot tub was very relaxing. My kids are already asking when will we return. Will definitely book again!
My family had everything we needed for our cozy stay at gentle squirrel. The jacuzzi was a perfect way to end every night. The bon fire to make sâmores was quaint and lovely. The communication with the property manager was excellent. We spent our entire Christmas here. He loved it! Perfect for a family of four.
Dayma is a wonderful host. From the very moment we booked the property she was in communication with us. The property was well maintained and very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were very friendly. The completely fenced yard was wonderful for our dog daughter, She loved it. We will definitely be coming back.
This was our second stay at the property. The house was spotless, cozy and comfortable. Our host Dayma was eager to please and even had the porch stocked with firewood. The new hot tub is beautiful, but due the weather we skipped using it this trip. We will definitely rent again. Thank you Dayma
Gentle Squirrel was so pleasant. Very clean, great extras: the hot tub, outdoor grill, WiFi, NetFlix access, etc. We were really looking for a place to feel like we were just lounging at home without the stress of knowing there were regular home owner responsibilities to attend to and it was definitely that! The kitchen was perfect for making meals and eating family style. We ate in more on vacation than we do regularly!! The location is close enough to town for runs to the grocery store or activities. Hosts were great communicators, even with recommendations for relaxing beach spots. I will definitely seek to stay here again next time I head to Big Bear.
