Getaway Escape House in Big Bear

My stay at Getaway Big Bear in Running Springs was truly a magnificent escape from the city. I and team spent two nights in a cozy cabin that was both charming and well-designed to blend with nature. Surrounded by beautiful pine trees, the setting provided such a serene and peaceful atmosphere. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying my morning coffee while watching the sun filter through the trees. The cabin was equipped with all the essentials, and the large window next to the bed made it feel like I was right in the middle of the forest. The fire pit was a perfect touch for stargazing and keeping warm in the cool mountain air. No signal here, disconnect for a while, sounds good. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway!

The view from the room was beautiful. The area was quiet and the air was fresh. However, the morning sun came through the window right by the bed. It was very hot and bright, so I couldn't sleep in the morning and had to wake up early. The house was called Caroline.

We stayed for two nights and had a wonderful time! It's small but as expected/described and encouraged you to spend time outdoors. The cabin is cozy with a great view. My only request would be a mirror - even a small one so I can put in my contacts and such. It's fire season so no fire allowed but completely understandable. The service we needed was minimal but responsive and helpful. My husband loved the trail which they should promote more - we just stumbled upon it. The location is a bit far from local attractions - Lake Arrowhead is about 20 minutes away and Big Bear village about 40 minutes. We can't wait to return and hope all is well with the current fire activity!

I have to say first, that cabins are beautiful. We didn’t have a chance to try it because of the false advertising. We were paying extra for the Mountain View because we were amazed by the pictures on their website. We were driving about 2 hours and were so excited to see it. When we arrived, we were in love with the place, right until we came in inside of the cabin and saw the view that was for the extra money. You can see the picture of our view. And Google pictures they promote. Don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful, but can you tell it’s a Mountain View? Or Is it more a forest view? Which cost less. We tried to contact the management and explain that we paid for the Mountain View and it looks like there might be a mistake. When the manager at a place came, he told us that it’s just an advertisement. It doesn’t mean you will get the same cabin. I totally understand that cabins are might be different, with a different angel of the view, but, how would you feel if you know that there are 10 or more cabins with a real Mountain View, but you got the one where is no mountain view? You paid extra for that and won’t get it. We took a small tour around. There are cabins with the good view. They just gave us the one without. We asked for a refund, because our expectation based on their advertising weren’t met and our vacation time we’re flying out while we were trying to solve it. The cabin cost was around $450 for 2 nights and they offered to return $45 out of $450!!!! We left and found a house with an amazing view in 5 minutes driving distance from this place. It was the same view as on the pictures in their description.

Cabins themselves are good. However, some people play music outside loudly and their children constantly screams, both day and night, which ruins my peaceful recharging. Reported to the team but that doesn’t seem working neither.
