We stayed at this home in Big Bear Village from January 17–24, 2026, and it was phenomenal. The house was exactly as described, and the location could not be better. It’s just a few houses from the heart of the village, so we could easily walk to restaurants, shops, and everything we needed—yet it still felt private and like a true mountain escape. The home was spotless and very well stocked. Any time we needed something, it was easy to find. The cocoa bar was such a fun touch for winter—coming back in the evening, making hot cocoa, and warming up was one of our favorite parts of the stay. The pillows were very comfortable, the bedding was great, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Laura was a fantastic host. She was very communicative before, during, and after our stay and gave excellent recommendations for restaurants and local spots. We were celebrating special occasions, and she helped with suggestions for a bakery and spa options, which made our trip even more memorable. We also loved the book in the kitchen. It’s like a complete guide to Big Bear, with restaurant menus, maps, local information, and house details. It made planning our days incredibly easy. The cribbage board was another unexpected bonus we enjoyed using in the evenings. Overall, this rental offered everything we hoped for and more: a perfect location, a clean and cozy home, thoughtful touches, and an outstanding host. We will absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone!

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.

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!
