Serene Cottage on the River with Firepit, Deck, and Bunk Room

Big Bear River Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Bring the whole family to this perfect retreat and make yourself at home on the bank of the Sandy River! Head out to the deck each morning with a cup of coffee and listen to the sound of the flowing water and chirping birds. After a busy day of hiking or skiing, relax in front of the wood-burning fireplace with a good book, play one of the many provided board games, try your hand at a jigsaw puzzle, or play some ping pong (mini table) or foosball in the downstairs playroom. When mealtimes come around, the fully equipped kitchen will be great for chillier nights spent inside and the gas grill on the patio can be a perfect way to whip up some burgers in the fresh air. End each night with a big bowl of popcorn and a favorite movie on the TV.

WHAT’S NEARBY
One of the best things about this house is the easy access to miles of pristine trails, great for summertime fun. If you're a skier, you're only a few miles from Mt.Hood for unbelievable powder. A five-mile drive to Mt Hood Village will bring you to shopping and restaurants galore where you can pick up some new gear or grab a bite to eat after an adventure-filled day. If golf is your game, don't hesitate to visit the Three Nines Golf Course in Welches for a leisurely round of 18 just under five miles away.

Nice simple cabin for a ski weekend with family/friends
Good simple cabin for a weekend up at the mountain with family and friends. Nothing fancy. The kids enjoyed the bunk room. Had everything we needed. I bet the outside is lovely when it's warmer as well.

Cute, big but run down
I love the location and size of the house. Being able to take a short walk outside to the river was really nice. In the photos there was a game space, the foos ball table is broken and the room smelt of musk badly. Luckily I read the reviews before leaving to my trip and brought some candles, but due to the smell we did not use the basement at all for our fellowship. In the kitchen is a small trash can for food/waste and it will filled up quickly, when trying to look for extra trash bags I was searching high and low and could not find anything. When looking under the sink the cabinets door almost feel off when I opened it. Everyone besides myself are 6 feel tall and had a hard time being comfortable in the shower. Me being 5’5 had no problem beside the fact the shower head has zero pressure and the tub didn’t look like something I would want to take a hot bath in. The BBQ was extremely hard to light and was not working properly, we were able to get it going with a long lighter, it was just a little scary to do seeing as the BBQ was supposed to be self lighting. There was no check out instructions to be found, so I strip the beds and did a load of towels along with washed and put away my dishes best I could. When we first got there were walking the house there was a candy wrapper on one of the stair cases, what looked like used tissue paper between the upstairs chair and ottoman, and we found 2 bottle caps on the floor between the kitchen and dining room table. Be careful of the balcony railing, is is very wobbly! Seems intact, but I wouldn’t put a lot of pressure or weight on it. Again, very cute house. Perfect size for what we were doing. They had a lot of Toiletries for us to use if anything was forgotten, and lots of room for a big gathering. The WIFI was great which was nice for our live steaming. Just small adjustments could make this house top notch.

Very comfortable
We were pleasantly surprised that our large group all had showers and had hot water most of the time. There was cleaning supplies and soaps for us to use. Plenty of towels as well. It was very comfortable for our large group. We would definitely stay again.

Nice family get away.
This is our second time at this property and everything was just how we remembered. My boys loved the ping pong table and hockey set. The power went out sometime during our last night, so we didn’t get to enjoy our last morning as much. Not the owners fault, there were high winds that day.

There were few issues with the place. Home didn't feel very inviting
Very dark in the living room also. Rooms didn't have blinds though they are facing the street. Kitchen looked cluttered and we left in a better state than what we got it . Kitchen lamp was flickering and turned off completely. So we opened it to check and the bulb came crashing down and broke to pieces. The house was well stocked with sheets and towels. Not very great experience, have stayed in better ones.

Great!
We had a fantastic time! Very cozy home and a short walk to the river. Only drawbacks- moldy smell in the basement, bathroom door in basement doesn't close and it would be nice to have blinds or curtains on bedroom windows to block out morning sun (esp in the summer when the sun is up by 5am). But we had a great time and enjoyed our stay!

We had a great time at this home! It's so close to Skibowl and surrounded by beautiful nature.
Everything was super easy and no problems at all. We got all the information we needed, the house was cozy and clean- the kitchen had enough equipment and we had a great time! Skibowl was super close and the nature around was nice to take a walk along the little river. We were hiking to the trillium lake and took beautiful pictures and just enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere there. Highly recommended for a stay! Thank you so much!

Perfect for multiple families
This cozy, unassuming Oregon cabin was perfect for our three families. Felt like going back to a simpler time in our home state. Lots of space for the kids to run around and games for them to play with. The fireplace offered warmth in more ways than one. We didn't realize there was only one shower in a cabin meant for 10 people. Not a problem for us, but could be for some others who didn't pay attention to the details. But all-in-all, a great experience. Thank you.

Great cabin for a trip to Mt. Hood
Our family of 6 stayed for two nights so we could play in the snow on Mt. Hood. The cabin was clean, comfortable and well stocked. We all had a great time!
