Kim is so welcoming and checks in a regular intervals to make sure everyone is enjoying their stay. Additionally, the house is incredible, even better than the photos. There are so many options for a large group for sleeping arrangements. We had a group of 12 as a scout troop. The girls loved the bunk rooms, and the adults had their own private rooms. The 5 bathrooms were such a luxury too. Plenty of seating for eating and hanging out. The basement was a wonderful option for the kids to have boisterous noise without overwhelming the house. Overall the trip was seamless and wonderful. If you have a chance to explore the property, it's huge and beautiful too. We plan on coming back when there is snow to x-country ski at Rim Nordic (which is only 15 mins away). However even without snow, there is a local tubing place - snowdrift tubing park- that is so awesome. They make snow and they are super friendly. The kids had a great time tubing- only 10-15 mins away from the house and we found a fantastic hike 15 mins away in the San Bernardino National Forest. This house is in a great location with all the amenities you would need to be comfortable. You can't go wrong choosing this house. Thank you Kim for a memorable and wonderful weekend.

We stayed here with in-laws, a total of 9 of us, and there was more than enough space to spread out and be comfortable. The outdoor space was amazing, we kept finding new areas each time we went out. The basement was awesome for the older kids to hangout. We hope to make this a tradition.

Great time at Safe Haven Retreat

We had a group of friends and family in town to attend my nephew's wedding. The space was perfect for us as we had enough room for everyone including bathrooms. Kitchen is fully stocked and ready for cooking. Our host Kim was very responsive and assisted with a few questions right away. Great spot for large group.

Great stay!

We stayed here with our large family (8 people total) and had a great time. Plenty of space for everyone, and the home was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. Kim, the host, was very responsive to our questions.Location was also great as we were between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear and had easy access to both. Thank you!

Best property we have stayed in

The owner calls it "Safe Haven"- truly feels like a welcoming home. So much space for groups, or large family: enough spaces for anyone who wants alone time in nature. Property backs to the Forest and is the last house on the street, amazing parking. We were so comfortable the entire trip

The house is so spacious - lots of room for everyone to find their place Cozy .. the heating works great we were very comfortable. It is well stocked with pans, cooking spices, coffee supplies, paper goods, etc. We enjoyed the location as we had no one very close to us and the property has trails and walking paths. The owner was very responsive to our needs. We had a great time !!

Thank you

Our overall experience was amazing going to the town 4 min away, close to the lake with beautiful community, and such open space for our large family was what we needed. We got to relax and enjoy multiple small communities around the area, restaurants, pubs, and bakeries. The only thing that could of been better a good power wash outside tables and patio/porch since the outside was the reason why we loved this place. But again this place was perfect for our family. Thank you for leanding us your home for a weekend.

What a fantastic house and property. Kids and adults had a great time and Kim the owner was very responsive throughout the entire process. The email with the door codes didn’t send like it was automated to do and Kim replied instantly to get it for us. My family cannot wait to get back up there. 2.5 acres with the National Forest as you back yard for the weekend was the change of pace my family needed.

Excellent Family Retreat

The house was great and perfect for large groups. There were plenty of beds and restrooms to accommodate our group. I was worried reading some of the reviews about cleanliness but the house was clean when we arrived. The outdoor area is the best part of the house. There were plenty of activities for the kids and a lot of space for snow play and sledding. We also enjoyed the space to walk around and take in the outdoors. Kim was also very friendly and easy to communicate with. I can’t wait to come back.

Perfect Small Town Snow Spot!

My group of friends had a wonderful time staying at this large property over the weekend. Communication with the property manager was perfect as they were always prompt to reply and helpful. The only concerns we had were that the bed-count was a little confusing in the listing and that we were told to bring our own bedding well after booking, but otherwise, we were incredibly happy with our stay (also some of the puzzles are missing pieces - could do with a refresh) and felt very cozy and safe. The town was beautiful and the people were friendly! The property was gorgeous and there was plenty of room for outdoor recreation. We would be happy to recommend this piece of property to anyone looking for a place to stay, if only to, again, have the pleasure of working with Kim, who was amazing to communicate with throughout.
