Location, Location, Location!! Emerald Isle Cabin

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful, unique cabin. It had everything we needed—hot tub, fire ring, gas grill, plenty of room, tv’s, DVD’s, games, great kitchen with everything we needed to cook, and all the comfort of home. Beds are comfortable, couches comfy too. It was great to be able to bring our dog as well, and we appreciated the completely fenced in yard. The owner, Mark was very responsive and immediately took care of a couple of small issues we had—a DVD player wasn’t working, and he personally drove out and installed and set up a brand new one for us. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The cabin is also just a few hundred feet from the bristlecone trail, a really beautiful hiking trail that my wife took our dog on every day. Can’t say enough positive things, thank you, Mark!

Very warm and cozy has a beautiful fireplace nice open kitchen and very comfortable beds and a spa in the back as well as outdoor festive lights front and back.

Had a great time great property and location only negative was taking the trash to a dump seems like for the price that would be a cleaning service activity.

As fourth time annual Big Bear short term renters, our party found this rental very satisfactory and well equipped for a home away from home experience. The kitchen has everything we could have conceived of needing for a week's stay (or even longer), including aluminum foil! There was a large variety of flavored kcups for the machine, coffee grounds for the maker, adequate cook and dishware, board games, a stand up fan for the guest bedroom with the two bunk beds (it's the only bedroom without an overhead fan), you name it this place has it (except A/C, which we really could have used the week we visited, but that's a Bear Valley-wide issue.) The decor is very cozy, homey and really fits in with the mountain/ski resort environment. Even with the fact that it's a dog friendly rental, we couldn't find ANY evidence of previous dogs' leavings on the property anywhere, which hasn't always been the case with other rentals. The one concern I did come across was that the front/guest bathroom shower stall wasn't up to my personal cleanliness standards upon check in. As I found hairs/whiskers and shampoo and soap residue remaining on the shower walls, and the tub basin didn't look clean (what looked to be evidence of dirty footprints and a light brown ring around the inside of the tub), so I decided to use the master bathroom shower instead. Honestly that is the ONLY negative thing I could report about our stay. Definitely recommend!

We had an incredible stay here. Very relaxing! Extremely clean cabin! Great location! Loved all the tress surrounding cabin. Enjoyed the jacuzzi at night and firepit!!!! Woukd definitely stay here again.

Very nice and quiet. Great location. Close to golf, the zoo, hiking trails, the boardwalk, and many other amenities. Kitchen well appointed, with all the necessary appliances, cooking and BBQ utensils, plates, glasses, etc. Hot tub, propane BBQ, and propane fire pit (they say propane not included, but there was a tank with propane in it when we got there). Comfortable furniture, TVs in every room. I gotta say, everything worked EXCEPT for the ensuite shower (spout diverter would like lift), and we could not get the hot tub jets to turn on. You need to be gentle with the screen door leading out to the back yard. It seems to have been bent or something, but still slides if you're careful. That's it! Everything else was top-notch, and the items mentioned as subpar are nits as far as I'm concerned, but I gotta be honest. The owner and management people were great. Made everything easy.

Comfortable and cozy cabin. Location was calm and quiet. My family and I were truly able to relax the seven nights that we were there. Fenced backyard came in handy since we had our dog with us.

We had such a relaxing time at the Emerald Isle Cabin, we felt at home from the minute we arrived. The cabin was beautifully appointed and the big kitchen made cooking at the cabin a pleasure. Our host, Mark, was super quick to respond and the apartment manager, Jordin, was very accommodating in allowing us an early check-in as we arrived early to get ahead of adverse weather. The cabin is in a nice, quiet neighborhood yet close to town, restaurants and groceries. But we mostly just enjoyed being at the cabin--so relaxing to sit in front of the fire to read. I am already missing being at the Emerald Isle cabin and truly hope to be able to return soon.

Lovely home near the golf course and zoo. We stayed in July when temps were above 80 degrees and A/C would have been nice. Lots of ceiling fans and room fans, however not much of a breeze to cool things down. Beds were nice and very firm. The hot tub was a treat! Finally, we brought 2 small dogs who LOVED the backyard. Great place for a group of 4 adults.

Great location, checkin process was fantastic, nice, clean house. Jacuzzi was awesome!! Would stay here again!!

Very clean property and close to Snow Summit. Property manager very responsive as well. Perfect size for a family.

There is so much we want to say about this property but can not get it within the 100 characters they give us. This property is truly a home away from home. Anything and everything you need. The cabin is clean and welcoming. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable furniture. Beds just kind of absorb you and you don't want to get up in the morning. The owners are responsible and friendly. They communicate quickly and professionally. They answered all questions completely and were right on top of anything we needed. We brought things we never thought we would find in an VRBO like a mixer to make brownies, large baking pans, a blender to make margaritas, tin foil, baggies, shampoo, conditioner and soap. They have plates and bowls, cups and glasses for all sorts of drinks. Lots of towels. We quickly found out that we needn't have bothered to bring most of what we brought. Again everything we could have possible needed was there. There is a fire pit and jacuzzi, fun indoor and outdoor games. A large picnic table and clean bbq. Well manicured front and back yard. We have been to Big Bear 4 times in the past year and we have now found our home away from home. We will come back without a doubt and we will recommend it to family and friends.

We came up hoping to spot the famous eagles and we were lucky and got to see one flying over by their nest area. The cabin bed was so so comfortable, we slept in later then we usually do, loved the little candles and am wondering where you got them. The cabin was so nice and clean. The dogs loved the fenced in backyard. Hopefully we will be back in the near future.

Very clean and very comfortable

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was clean and cozy and it had everything we needed and more. Communication with the property manager was great. Checking in and out was easy. Overall, we had a great stay and definitely would stay again.

We loved this place! Super clean, charming and cozy cabin. Very quiet neighborhood and close to everything. Great communication with Mark and an effortless check in experience.

My wife and I, along with our pets really enjoyed our stay. It was our first time coming to Big Bear Lake, and the property was conveniently located to get to where we wanted to go. The cabin itself is clean, well equipped, and quiet. There’s a trail nearby that is great to walk the dog (literally 500 feet). The host was awesome! 5 star stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Emerald Isle. It was clean & quiet (aside from some of fhe neighbor's dogs), & had everything we needed. Loved being so close to the Bristlecone trail, the Zoo & the conveniences of Big Bear Blvd. Will definitely stay here again.

Very warm and cozy has a beautiful fireplace nice open kitchen and very comfortable beds and a spa in the back as well as outdoor festive lights front and back.

Great stay Very cute cabin.

Overall our stay was fantastic! Beds were comfortable. Great location! Hot tub was great! Well stocked. Very comfortable. We love having a fire in the fireplace. Our only challenge was there was no cable and the US Open was that weekend. But we found a great sports bar downtown.

This cabin is located in a super quiet neighborhood. It is a beautiful home, close to everything, yet has the tucked away in the woods feel. Ample space, comfortable bed, clean and tidy. Wide driveway. Great fireplace! Very peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed our short stay and hope to stay longer next time. Thank you again.

This place is in a great location summer or winter. Great location near all the draws of Big Bear. Golf, Zoo. Skiing, hiking, whatever you desire, all within a few minutes .. and love that quaint cabin feel!

We had a great stay. The location is close to town, but far enough to have a quiet evening sitting by the fire pit listening to the wind go through the trees. We ended up extending our stay and the owner was very accommodating. The place is very comfortable and decorated like an old cabin, which was the vibe we were looking for. Check in was easy.

This cabin was perfect! Great size, but still cozy. Quiet neighborhood, close to everything. The snowy weather prevented us from enjoying much outside…looks like we need to come back in the summer! Host was great. Would definitely book again!

Perfect size and location. Host was great and we loved it there. Would love to visit again!

Mark's property is clean, cozy and nicely decorated. We are all impressed by the interior decoration and the location. The location is truly amazing, close to ski resorts, trails, shops, village, and restaurants. Mark is very easy to communicate with and very responsive to our questions. I hope his property management team has the same level of customer service skills as him. This would have been a five star review, if the check in process was easier. PM refused to confirm the property address on the arrival date until check in time, even though the address was provided in the confirmation email I received 3 days before. PM even suggested me to use Big Bear Lake in GPS for driving direction which made me wondering if the PM will assign us to a different property. Mark called and clarified everything right after I reached out to him. The rest of the trip was totally enjoyable! I will definitely recommend this property as long as you are able to connect with Mark.

Everything went well and Host are very understanding and polite and very helpful

The Willow cabin is the perfect spot to have a nice quiet getaway. We went in May and the weather was perfect. The hot tub was nice to take the chill off the cool evenings. The rooms were comfortable and we appreciated that it was pet friendly. The neighborhood was quiet and the location is about 10 minutes from The Village. Communication with the host was easy. I would stay again without question.

Property is as described. Everything we could have needed was available here. Check in was the easiest I have ever experienced. Over all this was a great stay. Our two kids and two dogs really enjoyed the space.

This is a well equipped, neat and clean cabin that is tucked away yet close to stores and activities. Good place for a dog with a high fenced yard. There is a great place to hike right down the street just a short stroll away. We would recommend it for your Big Bear visit.

Our small family and pup had a great stay! The cabin is in a nice quiet neighborhood walking distance to the zoo. It was super clean with a well stocked kitchen for cooking. We loved using the grill and hot tub in the backyard. We appreciated the easy and flexible check in!

Wonderful spot, Great host, Nice neighborhood. Ideal location for hiking and other attractions. Backyard made it easy with the dogs. Zoo within walking distance. Wanted to see fall colors and the location did not disappoint. We will be back. Thank you for a relaxing long weekend.
