The perfect cabin
We’ve stayed in big bear since I was a child and this cottage was just what we were looking for. Location was quiet-traveling with young kids they took their naps without any interruption and we got to enjoy the jacuzzi and lake views! The property was immaculately cleaned and check in was a breeze! We can’t wait to come visit again!

So Cozy and Comfortable
We’ve stayed at Lorrie’s place a few times so far. It’s our favorite place on Big Bear Lake. The view is breathtaking, the Cottage is perfect for a smaller group. Everything you need is provided. The manager Pandora meets you there to answer any questions you might have, and is very welcoming and helpful. Lorrie, the owner, is very responsive before and during your stay. Highly recommend you book this wonderful place.

Great Vacation Spot!
This is a beautiful house on Metcalf Bay, minuted from the village and right around the corner from Halloway Marina. We loved our time here and look forward to coming back, the views are amazing and the dock, hot tub and fire pit are huge pluses. I had an amazing 50th birthday here and really enjoyed the spring mountain weather.

Weekend get away
My wife and I were so blessed to stay here! Lori is a great host with excellent communication. Pandora was so sweet to us. She showed the entire place explaining all the details. The view of the Lake is so beautiful, the cottage was super clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the spa, fire pit and we were able to relax and see God's beautiful creation! Inside was also super nice. It was a great weekend get away and would love to return.

Great Spot In Big Bear
This is a wonderful lakefront property. We had a great time staying here and would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Big Bear especially if you want to stay right on the lake. Loved sitting outside every morning around the fire pit drinking my coffee. Just beautiful.

Lake Life!
Our family of 7 enjoyed our stay at the big bear lake house. Kids liked the small sandy beach and enjoyed swimming in the lake. Fishing off the dock was great. The house itself was clean and cozy. The jacuzzi was perfect for four adults. Definitely recommend for a summer getaway!

Great stay at the lake.
Excellent property. Very well maintained and everything was perfectly arranged for a hassle-free check in and arrival with an on-site tour with the manager. Beautifully appointed home, surpassed only by the view and patio area - one of a kind. Definitely will return.

Relaxation Station
We came for a few days of just straight relaxation after a busy year beginning. Pandora showed the ropes and after that was just beautiful views from the deck/ patio/ and sun room. It was mostly quiet in the neighborhood besides some local home renovations. Lots of birds and chipmunks to watch. The spa was relaxing and the same views were seen from there. Master bed was a bit firm for me but the wife slept just fine. Would do it again.

Sister's 60th birthday celebrations!
I can't say enough about this property. The cottage was beautiful and cozy and had everything we needed. We kayaked, played corn hole, and enjoyed relaxing around the fire pit watching the boats go by and taking in the serene sunsets. The lake view was simply spectacular! Our host Lorri was so friendly and easy to communicate with and her check in host Pandora made sure our stay was perfect. We'll definitely be back...we already miss it!

Fantastic except for beds
The location, view and amenities were all fantastic. The bed in the master bedroom was quite comfortable, however, the beds in the other two bedrooms were extremely uncomfortable to sleep in as well as being oddly high off the ground and difficult to get into.

We have been multiple times and it gets better each time. Love that they have 3 different sized kayaks to choose from now. Great location, right on the lake with great sunset views. Close to the vial page too. Lorri is a great host and takes care of us each time. There was a slight issue that was out of her control but she fixed it right away and made it right. My only complaint is that it’s not available enough for us to stay more often haha!

Great family getaway
Spent Labor day weekend with family and kids. Weather in the 70s and sunny. Enjoyed both levels of patio overlooking the lake. Even though it was a holiday it was not too noisy on the lake. Beautiful sunsets. Hiked Castle Rock Trail to lake, (3 hrs round trip). House has many little nooks in which to sit and read a book. Bocce set and games are provided. We were not even tempted to watch TV. A Great way to get away from it all.
