This was the most incredible place. Lorri really goes above and beyond to make you feel as if you are at your home. Every detail is carefully thought out as to what would feel most like being at home from the bedrooms to the kitchen to the appliances even. She personally calls you to welcome you to her home and then walks you through all the spectacular features. It is on the lake with amazing views but close enough to town to pick up any items you need. It was wonderful to make our own breakfast and sit on the upper deck and eat while watching the activity on the lake. I highly recommend this rental and we plan to book it again.

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!!

So Cozy and Comfortable

We’ve stayed at Lorrie’s place a few times so far. It’s our favorite place on Big Bear Lake. The view is breathtaking, the Cottage is perfect for a smaller group. Everything you need is provided. The manager Pandora meets you there to answer any questions you might have, and is very welcoming and helpful. Lorrie, the owner, is very responsive before and during your stay. Highly recommend you book this wonderful place.

Relaxation Station

We came for a few days of just straight relaxation after a busy year beginning. Pandora showed the ropes and after that was just beautiful views from the deck/ patio/ and sun room. It was mostly quiet in the neighborhood besides some local home renovations. Lots of birds and chipmunks to watch. The spa was relaxing and the same views were seen from there. Master bed was a bit firm for me but the wife slept just fine. Would do it again.

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!

Amazing Stay

Everything about this place was spectacular. If I'm being honest part of me didn't want to post a review because I want to keep this place a "hidden gem". The host and home were so amazing that I had to share! Check in was seamless. Pandora met us on arrival, showed us around, and made sure to answer any questions we had. The home is beautiful. Situated right on the lake with a private beach and dock. The Kayaks were a big hit with my 2 young children. For the parents we loved the heated gazebo, fire pit, and hot tub! The location is also a huge plus. The home feels very private and tucked away in a wonderful neighborhood. We were still only a 3-5 minute drive from all the shops and restaurants, so going back and forth was a breeze. Our family will definitely be coming back. Thanks again for the wonderful memories.

Sister's 60th birthday celebrations!

I can't say enough about this property. The cottage was beautiful and cozy and had everything we needed. We kayaked, played corn hole, and enjoyed relaxing around the fire pit watching the boats go by and taking in the serene sunsets. The lake view was simply spectacular! Our host Lorri was so friendly and easy to communicate with and her check in host Pandora made sure our stay was perfect. We'll definitely be back...we already miss it!
