Our family has made several day trips to Big Bear Lake over the years, but this was our very first…read moretime actually staying in the area, and Big Bear Vacations absolutely did not disappoint!
From the moment we arrived, the cabin felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared for families. The home itself was beautiful and incredibly well stocked with amenities. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals, including cookware, utensils, spices, and little conveniences that made it feel more like a home than a rental. Every space felt intentional and cozy, from the inviting foyer entrance to the comfortable living room, the two bedrooms, and the outdoor patio area. There were so many little spots to relax and enjoy during our stay.
Traveling with small children can sometimes make vacations stressful, but this place made things so much easier for us. One of our favorite features was being able to let the kids safely play indoors in the enclosed front room without worrying about mosquitoes or them wandering off. We also loved grilling outside in the back patio area while knowing the kids were secure in the gated space. It gave us peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax as a family.
The neighborhood was another huge plus. It was peaceful, quiet, and family-friendly, with very little traffic since the road leads to a dead end. Even though it felt tucked away and serene, we were still just minutes from everything. Shops, restaurants, and the Village were all conveniently nearby (only about a 5-minute drive away) which made exploring Big Bear Village super easy.
Inside, the beds were extremely cozy, there were plenty of clean towels, the shower was fully stocked, and the refrigerator had more than enough space for groceries and family meals. The extra touches really made the experience memorable for us (especially the board games and the Pac-Man arcade machine in the living room) which both the kids and adults enjoyed!
Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations and truly helped make our family trip special. We would absolutely stay here again and are already looking forward to coming back on our next trip to Big Bear Lake.
