Rustic Mountain Retreat. Trail access,fenced yard

Great stay! The cabin was cozy, clean, and exactly as described. Communication was easy, and everything went smoothly

The place was great for our family and dog. Definitely recommend it.

Adorable cabin with a gorgeous view. Super close to Bear Mountain and the nearby village. Very quiet and peaceful location.

The host is great and super easy to communicate with. I've stayed in many homes in Big Bear and can say the check in process was easy. The place is as described. Of all our places booked in this area this one gave us more of an older cabin vibe and the location was beautiful and so peaceful. Our favorite part was the access to the trails behind the home. Our dog had so much fun playing back there in the snow. The yard itself is fenced which is a plus for the pups. We only stayed one night so didn't use kitchen but it has your basic appliances needed, all clean as well. The flooring downstairs was a bit creaky which made my dogs a bit nervous to walk around. Just wasn't something we're used to but otherwise it was nice stay

First off the house does not even feel safe as there’s chords running everywhere for any and every light you wish to turn on. I don’t know why the electrical is exposed like that.The smoke alarm in the upstairs bedroom has been removed. The bed count is designed to accommodate a maximum of six people. Two queen beds and two twin beds yet the furniture in the living room seats four people. The one recliner is all torn up with stuffing hanging out of the arms.The backyard swingset is not even functioning. The backyard photos do not look anything like the current state of that yard. There are literally no swings on the swingset just deteriorating rope hanging down and plastic chairs tipped over underneath the swingset laying and standing water.Going back to the not feeling safe aspect, when we checked in and scoped the Home out my husband asked if we should go get a hotel instead. We actually would have opted for that, but we had our dog with us.When we first pulled up the snow that had been removed for the driveway path was so narrow that when you stepped out of the car, you’re standing in snow. Nothing was shoveled for a safe entry into the home. My husband immediately slept, trying to carry luggage in and fell. We ended up shoveling the driveway ourselves for a safe entry and exit out of the car.Not an enjoyable stay at all.

Had a great time

The best part was absolutely the yard and trail access. We were there during a large snowstorm and being able to play in the snow and go for walks in it was so fun!

Great location, the area behind the backyard is excellent for kids. Very quiet street.

property needs some maintenance. dirty walls , holes , electrical conections .toilet mskes noice while is not flushing.

This is a late review, but wanted to make sure we shared our experience. We had a great stay at the Rustic Mountain Retreat! It was dog friendly, with plenty of backyard space for the pups. Bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a balcony off the bedroom. Livingroom was cozy and the fireplace kept the place warm. I would say the major plus of this VRBO is the multiple hiking trails that you can access from the backyard and the direct access to nature. Love it!. We will be back!

Really cozy house with a beautiful trail right in the backyard. The location is gorgeous and very close to the zoo. The neighbors are friendly, and communication with the owner was excellent—they were very accommodating with my special situation and always responded quickly. Overall, a great stay.

Cute little cabin with great location! Everything is exactly as described - we stayed here for a week and felt very cozy and comfortable. Trail runs right behind the house, so you can just step out and step into nature. Moonridge coffee company and zoo are both a short walk away. Village is about 8min drive. Perfect little hidden gem in big bear lake!

We only stayed one night but everything was clean and neat and we had a really nice time. If you wanna go somewhere to eat, you would need to drive but it’s a nice neighborhood to go for a walk in. We met a neighbor and she was very nice

Absolutely loved this place. When we walked in my son said “it smells so good” this was one of the best cabins we have rented in years. Quiet neighborhood, very clean, our dog loved the fenced backyard. 3 separate patios that I had my coffee while listening to the trees. Will stay here again. Thank you to the host

The property was fantastic and felt like a home away from home. Exactly as described and very homy and comfy. The fenced-in backyard is wonderful too as we were able to let our dogs out off leash to explore and do their business. The property owner was very friendly and responsive. We are already looking at our calendars to figure out when we can go back. We plan to come back at least annually and make it a family tradition.
