4 HOUSES FROM THE VILLAGE, Remodeled, WiFi/Smart TV, W/D, Fireplace, Pets, Clean

LOCATION! LOCATION! SO CONVENIENT, WALK TO THE VILLAGE, LAKE & TRAILS!
OUR HOME IS A VILLAGE DELIGHT ! Dazzling "Christmas Tree Corner" is just steps from our Home. Winter turns The Village into a Wonderland of Dazzling Lights. Stroll to the Village all dressed in it's festive beauty, right at the end of our block! Our home is only four houses from The Village, which is less than a 100-yard walk and a short easy walk, on sidewalks, to the Lake, Rotary Park and Pine Knot Marina! The National Forest is also just up the street from our home, for easy access to great Hiking and Biking trails. Our home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, yet steps to The Village! An added bonus during the snow season, is that our home is an easy drive just off the main Village road. No icy hills to navigate, and our street is plowed during snow season.

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE:

Perfect!
The property was clean and well stocked. Our host Laura was available for any questions and gave us the most helpful tips which we really appreciated. We had no need to drive as the property was walking distance from The Village. This is definitely a place we would book again. We loved it!

Quick after New Year's Getaway
The property is what you expect from listing plus so much more. The location was prime, close to The Village as stated. The house was fully stocked with anything you might need. From extra blankets to batteries to spices you may have forgot to games and Blu- rays. Check-in was easy, Laura and Ken were great hosts who were very responsive when a minor issue came up with TV. They were very accomidating hosts and you can tell they want their guests to enjoy themselves. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Can't beat the location. A 2 minute walk to the heart of the village. Just off the corner of Village and Pine Knot. Amenities were a bit lacking, and televisions were small, but other than that, great place to stay. Very clean.

Lovely, clean, beautiful cabin!
This cabin was perfect for our visit to Big Bear Lake! We traveled with our two kids and two grandkids (4 & 2). Everything was exactly as described and the property was clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was well stocked, There are two bathrooms, both with bathtub/shower combinations. The living room is spacious and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We especially loved spending time on the large front porch, enjoying the beautiful scenery and peace and quiet! The owner, Laura, was very easy to communicate with and made our trip worry free! The location of this property is exceptional! We were able to walk to the village in minutes. We enjoyed the restaurants, shops, and lake. Another trip to Big Bear would definitely include this property again. Thank you, Laura, for your hospitality!

Perfect location, updated, clean, full of Big Bear Charm
Our family of 5 with 3 teen boys and our fur baby loved our annual Big Bear trip this year. The Rustic Cove/The Bacon House, was just as pictured. Beautifully updated and decorated. This family home is rich with history which the family shares with the guests. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and had fluffy towels. The house is not huge but it is well laid out and our family found it was fine and worth the coziness in order to be so close to the town. You can see the lights of the lit up Christmas trees from the living room and it was so nice to be able to just walk to town which is about a block. We will definitely be back! Thank you Bacon Family!

Perfect Mountain Getaway
The home was very clean, nicely furnished, a very short walk to the Village, and stocked with nearly everything you could need! We needed a break from weeks of 115°+ weather in the desert and this was a perfect getaway. As with almost all mountain homes, there is no A/C, but there are fans in every room (plus extras in the cabinets) so with a little attention to closing drapes and windows at midday the house stayed very comfortable. Laura and Ken could not have been better hosts! We have already referred others to this gem, and we will definitely be back!

Just a wonderful wonderful stay at the “Bacon house”. Celebrated my wife’s BD and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. Walking distance to shops and restaurants and the paddlewheel boat was such a plus. We would definitely stay again if Laura would have us! Can’t say enough positive things, future vacationers will NOT be disappointed!!

This is a great cabin for a small family with children. The location is great and can walk to village or to play in snow. Parking is great. Kitchen is fully equipped with anything that you’d need to cook a large dinner. Having a washer and dryer is also helpful. We have stayed here many times and likely will again.

This house was absolutely fantastic. Super clean, remodeled with amazing attention to detail. Well-appointed with everything a rental house should have and more (even a cute cocoa bar). Lovely decor, beautiful porch, great for drinking wine and relaxing after a long hike. The location of this property was perfect! Literally a 2 min walk to the main village with restaurants, shopping and more. The owner Laura, was lovely and kept in touch with me a few times prior to arrival, she offered some ideas for things to do in Big Bear as well as a link to the history of the house. Highly recommend Rustic Cove house, and looking forward to returning soon!

We had a lovely stay over New Years Weekend. We had our dogs with us and we were very comfortable. Just steps to the village and sledding right up the street.
