Stunning property!

This property is stunning and has amazing access and views of Big Bear Lake! Lorri, the owner, definitely has pride in her property and ensures that all your needs are met before your arrival and during your stay. We were only able to stay 2 nights, but would 100% book this property again in the future! Thank you Lorri for the wonderful stay!

Paradise found in Big Bear!

What an amazing weekend we had staying at this beautiful property. Lorri's attention to detail shows throughout the interior and exterior of this home and the amenities make this the best rental we have ever stayed in at Big Bear. The outdoor heated cabana was a life saver on a chilly weekend and allowed us to spend a significant amount of time outdoors when we wouldn't have been able to otherwise. We definitely plan to come back in the warmer months to utilize the outdoor, resort style amenities the home offers. Truly worth every penny and we can't wait to return!!

The perfect cabin

We’ve stayed in big bear since I was a child and this cottage was just what we were looking for. Location was quiet-traveling with young kids they took their naps without any interruption and we got to enjoy the jacuzzi and lake views! The property was immaculately cleaned and check in was a breeze! We can’t wait to come visit again!

Lake Life!

Our family of 7 enjoyed our stay at the big bear lake house. Kids liked the small sandy beach and enjoyed swimming in the lake. Fishing off the dock was great. The house itself was clean and cozy. The jacuzzi was perfect for four adults. Definitely recommend for a summer getaway!

Great Vacation Spot!

This is a beautiful house on Metcalf Bay, minuted from the village and right around the corner from Halloway Marina. We loved our time here and look forward to coming back, the views are amazing and the dock, hot tub and fire pit are huge pluses. I had an amazing 50th birthday here and really enjoyed the spring mountain weather.
