Marin Getaway Retreat at Big Bear Village

The cabin was perfect for our family of 4 plus our dog. The fenced yard was great for the dog. The location was very close the village. We enjoyed the puzzles and corn hole. Check in and out was easy.

Great location easy walk to the village.

The cabin is a great size, ample space while still feeling cozy. The location is great, with easy walks to both the village and the lake. Unfortunately a few things are holding us back from a full five stars. For one, we did not receive the check-in information until 30 minutes before check-in. That does not inspire confidence when you're nearing the end of a long road trip, and you don't even have the address yet. When we arrived, it looked like we had just stumbled upon a pillow fight - there were down feathers all over the couch. Not the end of the world, but not a great first impression. The cabin is lovely but there were a few details that gave us pause: loose hardware, a pretty cheap shower head. There were ants in the kitchen, and a little sign telling us that ants are to be expected. Well, I've stayed at multiple properties in Big Bear over the years, and this is the first one that had noticeable ants. They weren't a nuisance, but I really take issue with the implication that we should *expect* ants. The kitchen is barebones even by rental standards. There was a coffeemaker but no filters, and only one single-use pouch of coffee. It looked like a previous guest had just dumped the grounds in with no filter. We cleaned it, but we couldn't find coffee supplies anywhere, so we gave up. We didn't reach out to our host because I hate texting with automated message systems. Overall nice, but for the price we paid, I'd expect a little more attention to detail.

Nice, quite, private . We were very comfortable staying here!

To divert from the normal Father’s Day BBQ or brunch, we decided to do our first ever VRBO for Father’s Day weekend. There was a total of 20+ of us staying in various VRBO’s around big Bear city and we all truly enjoyed our experience. We are ready to plan our next trip! Thank you very much for making this experience easy and delightful.

It was a nice little cabin for a quick get away. Very close to town and the slopes!

Clean and cozy

Enjoyed the property for the most part. Love the outdoor area for our dog. The house itself is very drafty, especially under the front door, and while there is a pad for the draft, a simple plate attached to the door would be better. Heating system could be upgraded. My biggest gripe is the kitchen. You really need to include utensils, spatula, big, spoons, etc. I had to use the spatula from the barbecue to flip my eggs in the morning. Also, there was not a skillet to cook my eggs… I had to use a sauce pan! So the combination of this long, huge spatula trying to flip eggs in a sauce pan, not good.

The cabin was great for our family of four and 2 small dogs. It felt rustic and cozy but a bit too dark for me. I loved the fenced in yard for the dogs. The basic amenities were enough for what we needed. The place was clean and comfortable.

We were working an event and needed a place for one night. We appreciated being able to check in early, bring our small dog, and book for just one night. We slept great in the big comfy bed and liked how we were able to make the room dark so we could sleep in a bit after a late night at work. Thank you!
