Nuestra estancia fue placentera y te contestan muy rápido… Solo un detalle, me hubiera gustado tener un buen tallador o estropajo, aaah y un buen trapeador facilitaría mucho para mantener limpio durante la estancia. De lo demás todo muy bien.

Great new property

5 of 5

I think this is a newly added property, and it's newly renovated. The road to this property is pretty safe and flat compared to some steep drive ways in a lot of other properties. We only have 3 people so its size is enough for us. My kid described it as a very cozy house. It's very close to the Snow Valley Mountain Resort and only took us 10 minutes to get there.

La llegada fue muy bienvenida porque la casa estaba decorada para la temporada, olía muy bien, todo estaba acomodado y limpio, todo funcionaba, la casa siempre estaba a una temperatura agradable, nos encantó a mi familia y a mi. Sin duda un buen lugar donde pasamos navidad. Lo único malo fue que el control de la televisión no era el original entonces batallamos mucho para mover los programas, el conteo no tenía botón de regresar así que nos tocaba prender y apagar la televisión para que en automático se regresara o saliera de la aplicación. Fuera de eso todo estuvo excelente.

My friends and I had SUCH a great time! The space given was very efficient, and no felt left out. I would DEFINITELY come back if I had the chance. As a group, we all agreed that we should've booked an extra day to enjoy the cabin itself. Such a great vibe. ????

Beautiful cabin

It had everything we needed. California can be a little expensive so we saved money by cooking at the cabin. The cabin was a good price with comfortable beds. Not to mention the scenery was beautiful. I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely plan another stay soon at the Blue Bird Beauty in Running Springs. Very comfortable and well-kept cabin. Perfect for a weekend getaway in the snow with our 9-year-old. Close to Snow Valley & Big Bear. We felt very secure in the area, very quiet surroundings. Can't wait to plan our next trip.

2 night stay.

The place was very nice and cozy. Heater worked very well. The location was very close to snow valley ski resort which we wanted. Only few things to recommend: bigger trash in the kitchen, wine glasses, mirror in the second bedroom, rug inside the house, refillable bottle dispensers of Shampoo, conditioner and body wash, extra pillows, maybe small table in the living room and 2 extra blanket for the pull out couch.

No snow during our visit but the unit was as described and pictured. Smooth self check-in and no issues noted during our stay. Our kids enjoyed the game machine in 2nd bedroom and great that we were able to bring our dog. We have a large van and we're concerned about parking but fit in the designated space. Kitchen was well equipped with traditional coffee machine as well as Keurig. Location met our needs with Arrowbear park nearby and snow valley a short drive. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice place for weekend getaway

5 of 5

It's a beautiful modern interior house. We rent it for our family weekend getaway to big bear area. My family like the layout of the house and my sons love the kids bedroom with the old style game machine. The bunk bed for kid is important for my son and that's why I rent this place. My wife loves the kitchen with new appliances. TV has it's nice program choices. It has enough parking spot for our car. The only downside is the road to go to the place is small and it's on the cliff. You need to be extra care

Perfect family ski vacation home. Very close to Snow Valley ski resort and has a very responsive Asian family run liquor store less than a mile away. Long story, but she was so helpful. Cute kitchen, very Ikea-esque. Fire place was easy to use and the dining table is a good board game location.

My son & I had a great stay at the cabin! Very well stocked kitchen..gas stove can be a rarity up there! We stayed for 5 days and I cooked every meal..didn’t find myself wanting for any cooking utensil, pot or pan. Super comfy beds..plenty of plush towels. Always a bonus to have a washer/dryer as well! One thing to note..if you’re bringing your pup…there’s 2 balconies but no direct access to a backyard & it’s not fenced. We decided at the last minute not to bring ours & it was a good call..he can get pretty curious & probably would have been an issue. It’s hard to tell from the listing so thought I’d mention it. Doesn’t detract from the cabin in the least. The street is very narrow but it wasn’t snowing when we got there so my sedan did fine..nice to have flat parking with no stairs to have to haul all your stuff! Another bonus..having the half bath downstairs is super convenient. And the huge couch in the living room was the best “chill spot”

It was beautiful, just a lot of snow we got while there. My dad’s truck froze, and had a hard time opening the car. It has a limited amount of kitchen seasonings and amenities, but other wise a perfect place for a quite little getaway.
