Cozy Cottage on Big Bear Lake

We had the most amazing week at this cute cozy little cottage. Lynn was great to work with and the check in and check out process was the most uncomplicated process of any rental we have ever used. We couldn’t have asked for anything better everything was perfect!

Cabin was beautiful, clean and had everything you need.

The only complaint were the next door neighbors were really close and their porch faced the cabin so it wasn’t as private as I’d like it to be. Otherwise it was perfect.

Great Girls Getaway Weekend!

What a perfect weekend! Check in was easy/ smooth, the cottage was absolutly everything we had hoped for! The pictures don't to it justice. It was very clean. It has such a wonderful and cozy ambiance. It was a bit chilly yet for swimming, but sitting on the (very private) beach in the deck chairs, with a small fire going, talking and laughing with your best friends, enjoying the gorgeous view , made some pretty amazing memories! Well be back for sure!

A great place to fish

Cabin had many extra touches and everything we needed. Cutely decorated. Boat launch was across the lake at the second campground. Was wonderful to keep boat in water by the dock all weekend. We caught a lot of fish. Area was very quiet since it was a week before Memorial Day.

We loved the cottage and enjoyed our stay!

The cottage was so cute and clean. Beach was perfect for small children to play with a sandy shallow walkout for the kids. Would stay again. Town was a little empty but Gaylord is a short drive away

Sunsets at the lake

Cute little lake home with plenty of room to fit a family of 6. The pictures do not do this place justice, it is very clean and fully equipped with anything you might need in the kitchen. The views of the lake and sunsets are breathtaking. My husband and I came to celebrate our 1 year anniversary but would love to come back with my daughter’s. Our host Lynn was very thoughtful and responsive to our texts. Thanks again for sharing this little gem with us. 🥰

Loved the lake cabin

Great little cabin, perfect for our family of 5. Beautiful sunsets and clean, sandy beach. The neighbors were very close by, and friendly, albeit curious.

Cute cottage with beautiful and quiet views

The cottage was better in person than the pictures. Everything was nicely decorated. It was roomy enough for my family of 6 (our kids loved the loft space!) with lots of outdoor space for eating and playing. The sandy beach was great and even the cooler temps didn't stop my kids from using the lake - the kayaks were a great feature! Do not miss the sunsets!
