We had a delightful stay in this little cabin! It was just my husband and I. The cabin was thoroughly clean and had everything we could need! Check in was super easy, good communication from the host, convenient location, we would definitely stay here again! We did have a power outage the last night but nothing to do with us— the whole mountain went dark. Could have maybe used a small battery lantern for emergencies. But no complaints whatsoever.

It was a short trip but we will defiantly be back. Great cozy place in a perfect location.

My wife and I and our two dogs just spent 5 days at this wonderful cabin located near the lake and nestled up nicely on a hill. We got a little more than we bargained for with the unbelievable amount of snow (about 6 ft). Kingston kept in constant contact with us regarding the Snow Plow Driver who arrived every day to clear the driveway, which was crucial considering the weather. We utilized the fenced in back yard for our dogs who had a blast playing in the snow. The Wood Stove was excellent in keeping the cabin warm. I know there was a jacuzzi/spa out back and a bbq, however we didn't utilize either of those since it snowed constantly, but that is not a complaint, just pointing it out that they were available if we wished to use them. I would love to go back again someday, and would recommend this property for anyone who wants a quaint, quiet, and safe place to stay, especially if you own dogs that need room to roam and play. Thanks again Kingston!

The cabin was Great!! It was Clean and has everything you need. The front yard was big enough for my daughter to sled down. We will be staying here in the future!!

It’s really pet friendly with yard fence and pet bowls. Hope we’ll stay more days with my dogs for the next time.

We have rented many places and do not mind spending extra for a cleaner and nicer location. We were very disappointed in this rental. There was a large amount of dog poop all over the walkway leading up to the cabin. The cabin was not clean and the first thing we noticed was dried up crusty mounds on the floor. It had obviously been there a bit. I should have taken a photo, but we were a little stunned when my wife took a butter knife and scraped it up to prove that it was not part of the flooring. It was dried up dog poop. Things just kept going downhill. The place had only been surfaced cleaned. We do not wear shoes indoors and socks were very dirty from the floors. When I took a wet paper towel and wiped it over the floors it came up black. We swept the floors upon arriving after scraping up the dried mounds on the floor. Housekeeping had not been sweeping under the kitchen table or edges. The ledges and coffee tables had not been wiped down. Everything was covered in greasy dust that had been there a while. The coffee table was dirty and still had coffee stains. The dishes needing washed before use was a minor issue, but a good housekeeper would catch those things. The kitchen drain had slime on the bottom and were not clean. There was also hair on the shower floor, and it had obviously never been scrubbed. For the price we paid, we expected a cleaner cabin. Very disappointed.

We had a great time staying here. It's very cozy and dog friendly. A perfect weekend getaway!

This is an excellent property, especially if you have dogs, it is a fully fenced back yard so the fur babies can run around and go potty and then come back in (and you don't have to wait around while walking them in THE FREEZING COLD) Very cozy cabin perfect for a couple days. Had everything for a small thanksgiving celebration. I had some unexpected events come up of Emergency basis and the property owner was very kind, flexible and understanding. The location is actually kind of hard to find (especially in the dark) but the owner sends this info (but it was still hard to find) The cabin is off a different street, and you have to enter on a small little road and it is settled up in the back. This is a great location and perfect rustic little cabin for a quick get away... Always a treat to find a little gem on VBRO... Thank you :)

Our stay had a rough start due to circumstances beyond Kingston’s control but he made it right for us. We appreciate Kingston’s prompt and clear communication, quick action and assistance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at his cabin and appreciate his generosity.

The house is really cute, and has a nice sized fenced in yard. You can see the lake from the front porch. When you arrive, it is a little tricky to find, because the driveway actually faces Lakeview Dr rather than Arroyo, but I called the host and he answered right away and was very helpful in explaining this. He stayed on the phone with me till we found it. There were also signs, we had just missed them because we were expecting it to be on Arroyo. We had an excellent stay and would recommend this cabin to other couples or small families.

My sister and I had a wonderful stay in Big Bear. The communication with Kingston was excellent from the moment we checked in. An unforeseen maintenance issue came up while staying at the property and Kingston went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of to not disrupt our vacation. Thank you very much!

Everything was great. one of the chairs was broken when we got there. I would remove it...I almost fell backwards and that would not have been good. Thank you for letting us take our dogs...they had a great time. Overall we had a great weekend and it even snowed!!

We had a wonderful time at this cabin. Everything we needed was provided and the cabin was plenty clean and well stocked. Water heater went out due to wind a couple of times but it was an easy fix. Walked to the lake so our pup could swim and chase ducks. Great jacuzzi and bbq area out back and a lovely area to sit and view the lake in the front. Will absolutely come back.

We had a great stay ! The cabin was very comfortable and homey.

This was a nice little trip out of town. The inside of the property is a bit on the smaller side (definitely large enough for 2) but I’m kind of glad we chose to leave our large dogs at home. That being said the bed was super comfortable, the wifi worked well, and Roku in every room was nice. We were also close enough to walk to the lake and very close to town. Owner was responsive via text and check in down the road was easy. Only negatives were I couldn’t get over the fact that some mans underwear was in the fenced backyard right next to the jacuzzi. The other was if you closed the fridge the freezer opened and vice versa which I’m glad we noticed pretty quickly so we didn’t ruin our food.

This place was an awesome stay , clean quiet area.

This was just a quick one night get away for our anniversary so we didn’t have to much time. But we arrived to the check in office and it was smooth for the most part except they didn’t know which property we were renting and didn’t know the name of the cabin so that was a little confusing but that’s nothing to do with the owners of the cabin. We were coming in at dark and got a little turned around but the owners picked the phone right up when we called and helped us find the street. Super nice and helpful. The cabin is tucked back off the Main Street and very private. We enjoyed sitting in the jacuzzi and relaxing. The bed was super cozy and comfortable and the bathroom was stocked with all you need. We did bring our own big beach towels only because we like to use them after the pool or jacuzzi We would stay again for sure and have already told our daughter and son in law they should go up for a weekend. Thank you again for a nice place to put our feet up and recharge even if just for a night.

We were very happy with our 2 night stay at Kingston's rental! It was just as pictured, close to town, with adorable cabin accents. The fireplace and hot tub made for a relaxing and cozy mini vacation for my husband and I. Our dog loved the fenced in yard! We would definitely stay here again :)

Nice place. Short walk to the lake and short drive into town. Owner was very responsive, even to a late text message requesting guidance on using the spa.

This was an outstanding property tucked up the hill in a very quiet neighborhood. It was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities that I was looking for. It was below 40 degrees both nights I was there, so the wood burning stove was wonderful. The hot tub was perfect after a long hike on one of the many beautiful trails nearby. This property is less than a five minute drive from the Village, a lovely section of town with quaint shops and dining. I was able to watch Netflix and Hulu from the comfy couch. The fenced yard offered plenty of room for my large lab mix to run around. This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy all that the Big Bear area has to offer. The owner was very friendly and promptly answered all inquiries. This is a great place to stay.

This was a really cute cabin that was definitely a nice break from home. The bed was SO soft and comfortable. There was an occasional ant but as long as the food is kept up they pretty much stay away. Loved the fireplace as well, it was really nice to use at night while it got cold.

This cabin is perfect for dogs.Has a large front yard for throwing balls. And a fenced in backyard. Everything was perfect.The cabin was clean and air conditioner was great.We look forward to going back!

Our family had great time it this cozy cabin in Big Bear. Had everything we needed. Perfect for quick breakfasts, packing picnic lunches, and BBQ diners. The beds were very comfortable as well.

Cozy cabin, good option for small group with dogs & just a short drive to the village. Cabin is across the street from the lake, tucked behind other cabins (Driveway is off Lakeview not Arroyo). Property is dog friendly with a fenced backyard. Owner was courteous and communicates well. I you're inclined to cool off in the lake, Holloway's marina is nearby. I saw prior feedback regarding ants and the fridge. Did see a few ants during our stay but kept them at bay by keeping food stored and dishes rinsed. The lower shelf in the fridge is cracked and sags a bit, make sure the drawers are fully pushed in and the door will close. The central AC didn't seem to cool (May need recharging) but the secondary window unit worked well (A bit noisy if trying to watch tv while running). Overall had a great stay at the lake.

Property was not thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival… kitchen was full of ants, alive and dead, in multiple cabinets, kitchen table, drawers and the refrigerator. The refrigerator door would not stay closed, and periodically opened on its own, including when the freezer door was opened/closed, thus enabling ants to get inside. Floors were full of debris including dog food kernels, dirt, and a hair clip under the kitchen cabinet. Sofa was full of dog hair. Linens were scarce as we had no dish sponge, no kitchen towels, and no washcloths for bathing. Bed sheets were not full sets… front bedroom had 2 top sheets placed over a plastic waterproof mattress pad, thus the sheets did not stay in place. We contacted Kingston, the property owner, sending pictures and videos of our concerns-he only offered to bring additional linens the following day. We ended up moving to a hotel because of the unsanitary conditions as we had to throw out a lot of our food after being there only a few hours due to the ants and the malfunctioning refrigerator door. The property owner only offered to refund our cleaning deposit despite seeing the videos and pictures of the ants, dirty floor, broken refrigerator door and dirty sofa. The owner forwarded me a video of his housekeeper cleaning the cabin prior to our arrival … his video does not show his crew cleaning the bathroom, the floor, cabinets, kitchen counters etc… it is shot from farther away and doesn’t show the floor or inside cabinets at all. Nothing in the video shows the property was disinfected per Covid standards as advertised as the housekeeper simply opens the microwave door, shower curtain and toilet lid for the property owner to see. This property has potential, but needs to have thorough cleaning, sanitizing and guest preparation procedures with linens etc to improve its star rating.

This was such a cute property and was comfortable ! The linens were clean and beds were comfy! The cabin had a lake view on the front porch of a little bit, but a great neighborhood to walk in the morning. It is about a 2 min drive to downtown. The backyard was completly fenced in for our little dog and lots of bird watching. The fan in the bathroom wasn't very strong - but the window opened just fine incase you take a shower or...:) Very pet friendly

Very happy with our stay. Our dog loved the enclosed backyard. The cabin was well stocked, the beds were very comfortable and the owner very responsive. Thanks again!

This is a great little cabin for a family or group of friends. The beds are comfy, smart TVs in every room, fast WiFi, full kitchen, gas BBQ, hot tub, plenty of parking, and a fenced yard make this a great cabin just a few blocks from the lake. Close to everything and easy to communicate with the owner. We will definitely book here again!
