Bear Lake Hideaway: Two Story Log Cabin w fireplace & hot tub. Walk to the lake!

We had a fabulous time at Bear Lake Hideaway! It was very cozy and charming and though small, even our 6'2'' friend found the ceilings and showers fine. It is also extremely well insulated. It was stocked with some basic essentials but there were a few items we would have expected that weren't available, like measuring cups, extra paper towels, extra trash bags, tape, superglue, and first aid items. The first aid kit had only gauze, though we donated a few band-aids. We also bought and left extra paper towels, trash bags, and WD40 which was needed on some doors and cabinets. The main issue was the hot tub, which to be clear, does seem to work as intended, but the instructions for use were insufficient. We used the hot tub on night 1 and it was lovely, but we displaced a fair bit of water. When we tried to use it again on the last night (unbothered by the displaced water, since it should have been enough for us still), we found that the water was cold because the level wasn't high enough to engage the heating element. By then, it was too late to do much about it, but I wish we had been warned about this in the instructions and that there were directions on how to refill it.

Overall it was a good stay!

Had a great stay!

Nice little cabin, we enjoyed our stay. It could use a little love/upgrades

Nice petfriendly home

Very responsive host, property was as advertised and had a wonderful location.

Cleanliness was poor - carpet very dirty: laundry in dryer we had to fold and put away towels : everything creaked / wobbled that you sat in . The rail on stairs which are really steep also wobbled . We loved the jacuzzi though which made up for the rest - the location nice . The cabin is just really in need of care It has great appeal if it were taken care of

The cabin was in a great location! Great size for 2-4 people. Kitchen seemed pretty stocked, and the smart tv’s in every room were a nice touch.

Cabin was super cute. Needed some love and attention but super cute!!

had a wonderful time, everything we needed

Great location

When we arrived there was poop in the downstairs toilet, a lot of dust a webs, wanted to wash dishes but nothing there but a used sponge with hair on it,( under sink was flooded) bathtub upstairs was not clean had old soap stuck to tub and it wouldn’t drain. Downstairs was super cute but upstairs was creepy and not designed for anyone over 5’7 we barely fit on the bed and in shower.

The cabin is the perfect size, very comfortable, and conveniently located. The proprietors were easy to contact.

My time at the VRBO was a comforting blend of rest, ritual, and reconnection. Nestled in a peaceful setting, the space offered just the right balance of privacy and charm—perfect for unwinding after long days and creating cozy moments with Chewy. From morning coffee rituals to fireside chats, every corner of the home invited ease and reflection.The amenities were thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. Whether prepping hearty meals or simply soaking in the quiet, the environment supported both practical needs and emotional grounding. Chewy adapted well after the elevation change, and our shared routines—walks, meals, and quiet evenings—felt like a gentle return to center.This stay wasn’t just a getaway—it was a soft landing after big transitions. It gave me space to honor my loved ones, reflect on recent events, and prepare for what’s next with clarity and warmth.

Very nice overall !

Stay was great, the cabin was walking distance to the lake, park, town. The neighborhood was quiet and we had everything we needed.

Cabin was super cute and very walkable to the lake and village area. I loved the bedroom upstairs with the door open to hear the sounds of nature. Lots of utensils and things in the kitchen to cook your own food too.

The property is perfectly located about 5 mins away from everything in big bear. The cabin feels like you're staying at grandpa's old duck hunting/ bird watching cabin depending on the type of grandpa you had. Thier are a few damaged items from what i assumed where previous guests but, nothing major. We only spent time in the cabin when we were sleeping or getting ready as we were always out and I think this cabin is perfect for that.

Everything was exactly how it was represented online. Communication was great and the hosts made our stay super simple. The upstairs was hot during the day but cool at night with the balcony door and windows open. The cabin seemed to be built for smaller people, as I am 6'4 and had to bend down in the shower and watch my head upstairs.

Nice little cabin at Big Bear Lake. It was a little darker and smaller than we were expecting, based on the photos, but probably standard for an actual log cabin. My sisters and I were comfortable during our stay. It was located close to shopping and restaurants, as well as places to go walking or hiking. We had a couple of minor issues, but the owners were quick to respond.

Good location. Ton of dirt and debris under couch cushions. Place smelled like bacon because it looks like a wipe down v. a true cleaning. BBQ was overflowing with ash and same for the containers for ash. Not sure how it gets a 9.6 rating. 7.0 maybe a better description.

We came up for a quick stay so my son could go snowboarding. The house was cute and quaint. It suited the 3 of us well. Only bummer is I didn't realize there weren't closets in the bedrooms, but with our short stay it didn't affect us too much. The upstairs balcony was great for stepping out and watching the snow fall. We were lucky enough to get some snowfall while we were there. It was also great how close and easy it was to get back and forth from Snow Summit.

Cozy cabin with basic amenities that met our needs. Communication with the host was great.

A well needed rest & relaxation here was definitely had. The hosts are very communicative and helpful. The place was so clean when we got there.

We loved the cozy little cabin. It is perfect for a family of four. Owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed our visit.

We had an overall great stay! We loved it here, the only thing when booking the pictures looked like it was a fully fenced yard that’s why we booked because we had 2 dogs but we arrived and notice the whole front was open and not gated. It was not a problem though it’s a nice little walk to park where we took the dogs to the bathroom. This is a nice little cozy place would definitely recommend.

We absolutely loved this cabin!!! The size was perfect for our family of 4. The location was perfect, close to downtown and the lake!! The cabin had everything we needed (kitchen supplies, bath towels, shampoo/conditioner, etc). The TV and internet worked perfectly, and the jacuzzi felt amazing!! The only thing that I would recommend is bringing 2 small fans if you like it cold at night. Otherwise, I definitely recommended this cute cabin!!!
