We can send you a digital guidebook that provides all our favorite trails, restaurants, and activities.

8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
We just wrapped up a lovely stay at this cabin (January 2nd–4th) with our kids, and overall, it was a wonderful mountain getaway.The cabin itself is charming and very well-maintained. The decor is tasteful and creates a cozy, authentic mountain atmosphere that we all enjoyed. The amenities were great, providing everything our family needed for a comfortable weekend.Martin was a fantastic host. He was highly communicative throughout our stay and very professional. We especially appreciated his willingness to listen to our feedback regarding travel times—it’s clear he cares about his guests' experience.The only reason we aren't giving five stars is due to the description of the distance to Big Bear. The listing mentions it is 12 minutes away, but in our experience, it took 12 minutes just to get from the cabin to the main highway. From that point, it was an additional 20–30 minute drive to Big Bear in light rain. In heavy snow or peak traffic, guests should probably plan for at least an hour's drive.Overall if you are looking for a beautiful, quiet retreat in Green Valley Lake, this cabin is perfect! Just be mindful of the extra commute time if you're planning daily trips into Big Bear.

We spent 4 nights here and had a wonderful time. The house looks just like the listing and is very close to the lake...very clean and the view was awesome.

Perfect for what we needed
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
My 3 kids (13, 10, and 5) and I enjoyed the cabin and would happily stay there again. We went in Feb 2025. The host, Martin, was top-notch - extremely responsive, had an excellent suggestion about where to go sledding, and promptly resolved a small problem we encountered (no body wash in a shower).
