The prefect BB cabin!

We had a wonderful and relaxing week. You feel like you are literally surround by trees. The hot tub at night was awesome. We were looking for a rustic cabin feel, and this one hits the mark. Well maintained and excellent customer service. I am booking our next trip right now.

We had a great weekend escape to the cabin. It was cozy and just what we needed. A winter blizzard came and the hosts were extremely proactive and kept us updated throughout the storm. They also made sure we made it down the mountain safely!

Host's response:

Ivanna, it was a pleasure to host you, and we’re glad you were able to navigate the storm and its aftermath smoothly! We look forward to your next stay!

We loved every moment at the cabin. Check-in was easy, and the place was super clean. The location is great, close to so many popular destinations. We especially appreciated the fenced-in backyard, fireplace, and hot tub. Communication with the host was friendly, and they were quick to reply. Looking forward to coming back one day.

Host's response:

Thank you, Ron. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next visit!

We had a great experience! My fiancée and I were able to truly relax and take the opportunity to explore Big Bear it was my first time visiting. Everything was conveniently nearby, and the home itself was tucked away in a private area, which made the stay even more enjoyable and comfortable. The host was very helpful and responsive, making the entire experience smooth and easy. We’re definitely looking forward to future stays with SkyRun.

Host's response:

Thank you so much, Christopher! We’re thrilled that your first day in big Bear was a memorable one. We look forward to hosting you and your fiancé again soon!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was super cozy and comfortable and it honestly had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was amazing and perfect for unwinding especially in the mountain weather. The space itself was really well set up, with plenty of blankets, games to enjoy, and a kitchen that made it easy to cook and feel at home. Everything was thoughtfully laid out, and we never felt like we were missing anything during our stay. Overall, it was a great place to disconnect, relax, and enjoy some quality time. We had a really nice experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy Big Bear stay.

We had a wonderful stay on their property and everything was as listed! It was easy to find and also easy to get around to all the restaurants and things to do in the area. The area was also very quiet which made for a relaxing trip. We truly appreciated how clean and well kept the property is and with all of its amenities. Would definitely recommend!

Phil was amazing throughout the trip. We had an issue with an amenity and he came as soon as he could to fix the issue. On our last day he came to even drop off some donuts from the local favorite donut shop! So sweet! Will definitely stay again.

We loved having you stay with us, and can't wait until next time!

Great place to recharge and disconnect! The rustic cabin is about a 5 minute walk to trails and a 2 minute drive to The Village! The host was proactive and communicative about the city wide power outage (could happen with heat and high winds). The cabin comes equipped with board games, movies, ample blankets, and lots of seasonings if you want to cook or grill. It does not have coffee so bring your own! They do have coffee machine and a French press! They have pots, pans, silverware, and plates. Bring your own cooking spray! Instructions are all throughout the cabin with clear instructions, everything is easy to use. The neighbors are extremely quiet, which allows you to hear all the birds singing! 💯 recommend booking!

Host's response:

Hi Luisa, thank you so much! We look forward to having you come stay with us again - maybe this winter!

Quintessential cabin. Quaint, charming decor. Simple, honest cabin in the woods. Great for a couple or family of three. The host was excellent.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Velvet Cub and we can’t wait to come back. We were celebrating our anniversary and my birthday, so when we arrived to find sweet treats from a local bakery, we knew we picked the right place. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is incredibly charming, cozy and the perfect getaway. We spent most of our time outside on the patio, enjoying the hot tub, grill and fire pit. The hosts are so friendly and responsive. The neighborhood is great and super close to town. Thank you again Phil and Serena and we will be back soon!

Host's response:

Congratulations on your celebration! It was a pleasure to host you, and thank you for your close communication throughout your stay! - Serena and the SkyRun team
