Wonderful stay at Big Bear Lake
The house was a perfect size for 4 of us. It was located in a cute, quiet neighborhood. Lots to do in Big Bear. The house was clean and well equipped. I would recommend this house and host to anyone. We enjoyed our stay.

Comfy, relaxing and peaceful!
My husband and I brought our friends, a couple, for an extended weekend of relaxation. We enjoyed the Stargazer so much! We bbq’d, watched movies, played the game machines they had in the cabin. Chris was so quick to answer any questions we had. We accidentally blew a fuse and it was early in the morning, Chris handled it immediately! Communication was great. They had a bottle of wine, some snacks, coffee and little things for us. It was so nice. We enjoyed the hot tub, it was large and very comfy where people weren’t just right on top of each other. We also loved the patio furniture around the hot tub to just sit and chat. It’s about a 15minute drive to the village but we kinda liked being just outside with more peace and quiet! Thanks for a great stay, this would be a cabin we would come back to!
