⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Okay, this one made our day.

Nick and his family were an absolute pleasure to host…kind, communicative, self-sufficient, and incredibly respectful of our home. The kind of guests every host hopes will walk through the door.

And then Nick left us THIS review. 🥹🤎

After 20+ Big Bear rentals, hearing that Raven Ridge Retreat was “in a league of its own” and the one cabin he would actually return to is about as meaningful a compliment as we could receive.

And yes… he called me Sandra. 😂

Y’all know who he’s talking about! With a review like this, honestly, he can call me Sherman. 🤪

Nick, we’ll answer to anything if it means we get to host you and your family again. Thank you for noticing all those little details we put so much love into. We’re so happy you had such a beautiful stay and hope to welcome you back to the mountains soon. 🏔️✨

OMG! I can’t tell you how excited I am about the new washer and dryer at Raven Ridge Retreat! 😍

Now, I realize most people do NOT choose a vacation rental because it has a sexy new washer and dryer, but hear me out. 😂

I LOVE staying in a posh rental with fancy appliances and gadgets for me to try, fall in love with, and then convince my husband that we absolutely need at home too. :)))

We just added a new LG washer and dryer, and not only are they HUGE inside, they’re beautiful and so quiet.

Coming up to Big Bear for a lake or ski weekend? Toss those wet clothes in the dryer. Staying for a week? Pack a little lighter. Kids somehow go through three outfits before lunch? We’ve got you. 😂

Is a gorgeous new washer and dryer the most glamorous amenity at a Big Bear cabin? Probably not.

Am I ridiculously excited about them anyway? Absolutely. 🤍

Reviews like this make our day. 🤎

When we created Raven Ridge Retreat, we wanted it to feel peaceful and tucked into the forest, but still close to everything you come to Big Bear to enjoy.

We wanted cozy and comfortable. We wanted plenty to do without ever leaving the cabin. And, of course, we wanted all those little thoughtful details that I’m clearly a little obsessed with.

So when a guest mentions the peaceful setting, the hot tub, pool table, games, cleanliness, location AND those little details, it means so much to us.

And “can’t wait to come back” might just be our favorite part.

Thank you to our wonderful guests for taking the time to share such kind words about their stay at our little piece of Big Bear Lake.

We love the details. Because really, details are everything. 🖤

We had so much fun creating Raven Ridge Retreat, our Big Bear Lake cabin, and finding ways to add a tasteful little nod to our namesake in nearly every room.

Here, you’ll find a sweet little raven perched above your morning mugs, keeping watch over the coffee station. It’s one of the many small details we’ve added to make our Big Bear mountain getaway feel special from the moment you arrive.

Caw-fee, anyone? ☕️🐦‍⬛

It’s No Thank You Thursday! 👋

Dark, dated, and a little too cabin-y?

Oh no.

Light, bright, warm, and still filled with all the cozy mountain charm?

Oh YES! 🤍

We love a beautiful cabin in the woods, but that doesn’t mean everything has to be brown like the trees!

At Raven Ridge, you can look out AT the trees, breathe in the mountain air, and completely forget that the freeways and bustle of Los Angeles are only two hours away, all while enjoying a space that feels fresh, peaceful, and full of light.

Because your mountain escape should lift your spirits the moment you walk through the door.

I’m going to be honest… I have no idea if a single guest has ever actually used this little corner I curated. 😂 But I love knowing it’s here.

A quiet little spot to stretch, breathe, meditate, or just take a few minutes for yourself. No need to tote your yoga mat up the mountain…we have mats waiting for you, along with meditation pillows, warm lighting to make the space feel a little more special, and even a couple of how-to books if you need some inspiration.

Maybe it gets used all the time. Maybe it doesn’t. Either way, it’s one of those little details at Raven Ridge Retreat that makes me happy just knowing it’s there. 🧘‍♀️✨

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some guests just stick with you.

Chris and Nicole were truly two of our favorites… warm, responsive, personable, and just all-around quality humans. And as a fellow short-term rental host with a beautiful property of his own in the Adirondacks, Chris knows firsthand how much thought and care goes into creating a special stay for guests.

So hearing that they loved their time at Raven Ridge Retreat — and reading this review — meant a lot to us. 🤎

We loved hosting these two and would welcome them back to our Big Bear Lake cabin anytime. And who knows… maybe one day we’ll get to be the guests at their Adirondacks retreat.

Nothing makes us happier than hearing that the little details, hospitality, and care we put into Raven Ridge helped make someone’s mountain getaway a memorable one. ✨

So this happened… 👀

We went from Airbnb’s Top 10% of homes to the Top 1%.

And…we officially earned Superhost status, too…again. 🤎

If I’m being honest, the badges aren’t my favorite part. Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly grateful for them, but that excitement fades.

What never gets old is seeing that notification pop up after guests have checked out:

“You’ve received a new review.”

Every single time, I stop what I’m doing.

I’ve pulled over to the side of the road to read a review. I’ve told everyone in the car, “Hang on, I have to read this before we go.” I’ve even paused mid-conversation when I hear that little ding.

Because there aren’t many things in life where someone takes the time to tell you that something you created became part of one of their favorite memories.

They share stories about birthdays celebrated, friend weekends that were long overdue, anniversaries, family vacations, and weekends where they finally got to slow down and reconnect.

We read every single review, and every single one reminds me why we do this.

Being named a Guest Favorite means everything.

Being in Airbnb’s Top 1% of homes means everything.

Being a Superhost means everything.

Not because of the badges themselves, but because each one represents a guest who felt cared for, made memories with the people they love, and took a few minutes to tell me about it.

To everyone who has stayed at Raven Ridge Retreat, trusted us with your vacation, and shared your experience, thank you. Your words mean more than you know.

If you haven’t experienced Raven Ridge Retreat yet…

Come see why. 🤎

Maybe you’ve been meaning to plan something.

Maybe you’ve told yourself you’ll look at the calendar after this project, after this busy week, after things settle down.

Then one day you realize July is over.

The truth is, they probably aren’t asking for an expensive vacation. They aren’t keeping score of how many miles you travel or how fancy the hotel is.

They are asking if they still get your time.

The hardest part is that most of us aren’t choosing work over our families on purpose. We’re doing our best to keep up with everything life demands, and before we know it, another season has slipped by.

The good news is that meaningful memories don’t have to be big🤎

A weekend road trip.
A day at the water.
A hike.
Ice cream after dinner.
A picnic outdoors.
Even an afternoon with your phone put away can become the memory they carry with them.

The calendar will always find something to fill it.
Summer won’t.

If this resonated with you, save it for the next time you catch yourself saying, “Maybe next week.”

However you choose to spend the rest of your summer, I hope you choose time together. And if that happens to be in Big Bear, we’d love to be part of your family’s story at Raven Ridge Retreat.

No Thank You Thursday 🤎

No thank you to dark game rooms that nobody wants to hang out in. 🎱

We wanted our game room to feel like an extension of the vacation, not an afterthought.

So instead of a tucked-away pool table in a dim corner or converted garage, ours sits in a space that opens right onto the deck, where you can challenge the kids to a game, step outside for some fresh mountain air, then come back in for a rematch. And did I mention that the record player is nearby to truly elevate your game?

And because we love the little details, you’ll even find a custom Raven Ridge Retreat cue ball waiting for the break. 🎱

It’s one of those small touches that makes the experience feel a little more special.

Because sometimes the best part of a getaway isn’t the big adventure.

It’s the pool tournament that gets way more competitive than anyone expected.

The kids cheering each other on.

Dad insisting he “meant to do that.”

Mom sinking the winning shot. 😉

We designed Raven Ridge Retreat to feel luxe without losing what matters most. A place where parents can truly relax, kids can just be kids, and everyone leaves with stories they’ll still be telling long after the weekend is over. 🤎
