Spacious Cabin
I had a wonderful, relaxing stay. This cabin is very roomy and very clean with so many amenities. From check in to check out everything was handled very professionally by the host that I felt so comfortable staying here by myself. It felt as if I was staying at a friends house. I recommend couples or families to stay here also as there is plenty of room with lounging areas for everyone. I was impressed by all the kitchen supplies that made it so easy to cook all my meals here. I will certainly be back.

Little piece of peace
My family had everything we needed for our cozy stay at gentle squirrel. The jacuzzi was a perfect way to end every night. The bon fire to make s’mores was quaint and lovely. The communication with the property manager was excellent. We spent our entire Christmas here. He loved it! Perfect for a family of four.

My family and I really enjoyed our weekend at this very lovely home. The property was clean, spacious and had all the modern amenities to make our stay very comfortable. The jacuzzi also looked warm and inviting, but sadly we forgot our swimsuit and couldn’t use it. Oh well hopefully on our next visit! The place is centrally located in a nice, quiet neighborhood, near grocery stores, shops and restaurants. I like to add that our host Dayma was wonderful. She was very kind and sweet, communicated well, but was not intrusive at all. I highly recommend this place, and hope to be back again soon! Thank you

Amazing place to stay with incredible owners!
We chose this house based on a quick search and hoped for the best. We were so unbelievably lucky to have stumbled upon this house! The location is amazing and within a short driving distance of big bear and its surroundings. Our kids loved the backyard and fire pit and even enjoyed the hot tub during the cold winter nights! The host was so helpful and checked in one time on our first night and again the night before and wasn’t over bearing or made us feel uncomfortable by constantly checking in but in the same breathe when we did need assistance they got back to us with an answer immediately. I wish there was more then just 5 stars because this owner deserves it the house is beautifully maintained and so homey and we will make this a tradition every year!

Relaxing Family Vacation
Gentle Squirrel was so pleasant. Very clean, great extras: the hot tub, outdoor grill, WiFi, NetFlix access, etc. We were really looking for a place to feel like we were just lounging at home without the stress of knowing there were regular home owner responsibilities to attend to and it was definitely that! The kitchen was perfect for making meals and eating family style. We ate in more on vacation than we do regularly!! The location is close enough to town for runs to the grocery store or activities. Hosts were great communicators, even with recommendations for relaxing beach spots. I will definitely seek to stay here again next time I head to Big Bear.

Comfortable and cozy.
This was our second stay at the property. The house was spotless, cozy and comfortable. Our host Dayma was eager to please and even had the porch stocked with firewood. The new hot tub is beautiful, but due the weather we skipped using it this trip. We will definitely rent again. Thank you Dayma

Dayma is a wonderful host. From the very moment we booked the property she was in communication with us. The property was well maintained and very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were very friendly. The completely fenced yard was wonderful for our dog daughter, She loved it. We will definitely be coming back.

Great Time!
Girlfriend and I had a great stay, back patio has room for the dog to play. The hot tub was nice under the stars and the fire pit was gas powered, so no permit required and no restriction to use. The place had plenty of games and corn hole which was also nice.
