We had a very good time staying in Varsano villa. We didn't have any problems getting there. It's only a short drive to the slopes, and the cabin had everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest, and maybe this is intentional to have a rustic feeling to the cabin, is to have a little more illumination inside. Showers also have to be planned to have enough hot water for several people showering right after each other. Good Value, I would recommend.

When the little things are done right

We all expect a rental cabin to be clean and all the appliances to function properly, but when you arrive on a chilly day in February to find the cabin warmed and the spa to be at a proper temperature, you know your visit will be a good one.

Jon and Lauren's communication is top-notch, and you know they have thought things through when you receive an email with pictures of the TV/DVD/Satellite remotes. Email responses were within 24 hours.

I'd recommend staying at the Varsano Villa. It will lead to an enjoyable stay.

Summer Heat Escape From Palm Springs

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: Aug 7, 2012
  • Stayed: Jul 2012
This was a nice and very comfortable getaway from the Palm Springs summer heat to Big Bear City, a real cooldown and super relaxing short vacation. We did enjoy this cabin a lot as it is located far off the highway, very quiet location, we look forward to maybe another trip this fall and would love to stay here again.

Owner's Response: Glad to hear you could escape the summer heat in the cool mountains. I was in Palm Springs last month and it was hot! Spent most of the time in pool, but that's not necessary in Big Bear. Hope you can visit again soon.

My fiance, dog, and a few friends and I stayed in the Varsano Villa this past weekend, and we had a great stay. We came up from San Diego, and the directions the owner gave me were accurate and the cabin was easy to find, especially for us who have never been to Big Bear before at all. It was just as nice-looking, if not cuter, than the photos online showed. The owner was helpful in answering my questions before we left, as well.

When we arrived (about 11:30PM on Friday night since we all had to work a full day), the heat was on, along with the hot tub and a few lights. The driveway was well-shoveled, and getting the key and entering the cabin was really easy. The whole cabin was really well-equipped with cookware and linens, and the owner stocked it with paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, coffee filters; everything we needed. Plus we were left a goody basket and bottle of wine! Very nice. The cabin was very well-maintained and clean.

We had 7 people, and we were all very comfortable in our beds. The hot tub was great and stayed warm despite the below-freezing weather. We had one fun day skiing at Snow Summit, and spent the other cooped up in the cabin enjoying hot cocoa by the fire. We used the DirecTV to watch football on Sunday, and the wifi worked well. Just a side note, we had to reset the modem, so if the internet doesn't work for you right away, this might be the issue, and it was a quick fix.

The trash site was very easy to get to (about 5 minutes away), and Snow Summit was also close, less than 10 minutes. It was less than a mile to the lake, and two of my (marathon-running) friends got to run along the lake on Sunday. They said it was one of the most beautiful runs they've ever had. The only (very small) criticism we had is that the door from the kitchen leading outside was not as well-insulated as the other doors in the house. But the thermostat worked well, and the heater easily heated the entire cabin thoroughly.

My friends and I had such a great time that we want to make a yearly Big Bear trip, and if possible rent this same cabin. We highly recommend the Varsano Villa!

We loved it! It was very nice and very clean. We brought our 2 young kids who thoroughly enjoyed the 2nd bedroom. We were very happily surprised finding a high chair and toys there which helped make our kids feel at home. The hot tub was wonderful and very private with beautiful scenery and the porch swing was a hit with all 4 of us. It had everything we needed and more. Just wonderful, we will be back!

We had a wonderful time at the Varsano Villa! As soon as we walked in the door we felt like we were at home. The house was clean and warm, Home Check Chuck was friendly and helpful. We had everything anyone could possibly need. The house was cozy, the neighborhood was quiet, the surroundings were beautiful. Close to the mountains and restaurants, but everything we needed to cook a wonderful dinner was there for us! We highly recommend the Varsano Villa for a winter getaway!
Thank you, thank you!

Property is as advertised. Good location and very comfortable. Had 4 nights there and after a day of fishing or sightseeing nice to come back to a quiet place you can relax.
Highly suggest staying here. Already considering a week in Winter to come back.
