Lake house vacation rentals in Apple Valley

Linda and Norman were great and there home was exactly what we were looking for great location and a great cabin feel.. and great views we will definitely contact them again to stay!!!

We enjoyed staying at Rhonda’s house. The view was incredible. You can seat outside and watch lake for a long time. The house was comfortable. Host was super responsive and nice. She left snack basket for us. I recommend this place!!

We had such an enjoyable trip! There was plenty of space for us (2 adults & 4 older teens). The house was perfect - very clean and had everything we needed including kayaks, fishing gear, volleyball, fire pit, grill, chairs & umbrellas for the sand area. The kitchen was well equipped to cook but we were also close enough to the Village if we wanted to go out. The location is beautiful - right on the lake, quiet, private and peaceful. We would love to stay again!

Carolyn’s home is spacious, quiet, and has a gorgeous view. We had a couple issues upon arrival, but Carolyn was very helpful. It’s a beautiful place to stay if you are looking for a quiet getaway with convenient access to the water.

Great location, house is very big with lots of room. Game room was nice and pool table upstairs was nice! Had the fireplace going and having a fire on the patio was alot of fun, nice and relaxing. Jacuzzi needs some tlc . Would book again!

A true sanctuary for the soul. This house in Idyllwild is everything I didn’t know I needed—and more. Just one hour away from the city, it felt like stepping into a different world. The moment we arrived, I could feel my nervous system start to unwind. Between the river flowing right through the backyard, the private sauna and Jacuzzi, and the peaceful stillness of the forest, it was the perfect space to reconnect with my body, mind, and spirit. Every detail in the home was curated with intention and care. If you’re someone who values health, vitality, and deep rest—this place has everything: nature, healing, beauty, and tranquility. It’s also an amazing space for families—my little one thrived playing in nature and we were all able to slow down and reset together. The host was warm, responsive, and made us feel completely at home. I left feeling nourished and restored, and I can’t wait to return. This place is a gem and has become my go-to getaway for peace, presence, and health.

My family and I enjoyed our stay very much, such a luxurious home with lots of little details to enjoy. We all had a turn in the sauna, in the master bathroom shower. The hot tub was perfect, and the lake was just steps away so we could fish and swim as we liked! The kitchen was extremely well stocked, I was able to buy groceries and cook multiple meals and had everything I needed. We had so much fun in the game room. We had an issue with WiFi but the host was prompt in addressing it!

We had a great time at Casa Del Lago! The location by the lake was beautiful and peaceful. The home was clean, well-equipped, and perfect for a relaxing stay. The only downside was the A/C — during the day it wouldn’t cool below 78°, which was a bit warm. Overall, a great stay and we’d definitely consider coming back.

An Unforgettable Stay! 🌟 I recently had the pleasure of staying at China’s Airbnb, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. Was perfect for my birthday! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm welcome and a beautifully clean space. The apartment was exactly as described in the listing, if not better. The decor was stylish and cozy, making it the perfect retreat away from the city. My group especially loved the huge balcony with hot tub and fully equipped kitchen that made cooking a joy. The fire place was also a nice touch for a cozy feel at night. Location-wise, this place could not have been better. It was situated in a quiet neighborhood a short distance to restaurants and local grocery stores. Plus, lake arrowhead village which was only a few miles away. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay. I can’t wait to return!

Host was responsive and easy to communicate with. Location was perfect, few minutes away from Lake Arrowhead village. Having access to the ALA trails was a perk. We enjoyed our stay.

The trip was a huge success! Everyone enjoyed themselves. My kids felt right at home, this was the first time my youngest slept through the night on vacation so you know we were excited. The home is within a 10 minute drive of a lot- which I enjoyed being able the see the lake and the surrounding areas. We had all the things we needed to cook/eat at home. It's quiet! We had a great time. Would highly recommend.

We had a seamless stay, and felt right at home with all the amenities we needed.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home! Big Bear is such a fun place to visit with so much to do all year round. We spent a week during spring break and could not have asked for more at this cabin. It was big and cozy and very well equipped with everything we needed and more than we expected! We spent most nights in the game room that had something for everyone, and the fireplace kept the upstairs toasty while adding ambience. The yard was massive and fully enclosed so we felt safe letting our dog outside. The kitchen had everything, lots of space, and being open to the living room area allowed us all to spend time together while cooking. The host was super responsive and proactive and the neighborhood was quiet and close to The Village. We would totally stay here again!!!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this home. Everything was clean and looked exactly like the photos. Had lots to do to keep the kids entertained and the indoor hot tub was a huge bonus. Maria was a great host very responsive and friendly.

The cabin itself and the host were 5 stars. She was very responsive, and the place was great. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the town of Lake Arrowhead. Very un-inviting, the lake is essentially closed off to tourists. The village area is nice but can be found in any other city. If you have to stay in Lake Arrowhead, this is a great cabin and great host, would recommend it. Otherwise, I'd recommend staying elsewhere (big bear).

Second time coming to big bear and so far haven’t gotten any bad experiences. For this specific occasion, my family and I had a great time with this rental. The cabin felt safe and comfortable, had such a great time and will be coming back again.

Amazing home! Plenty for all to do. The furnishings give it homey feeling. All of the special touches were wonderful such as different flavors of coffee and teas, bath bombs, candy dishes, etc. Quiet neighborhood, close enough to go to restaurants, but far enough off the highway that it was very peaceful.

Family friendly

Stayed here for my wedding at lake Gregory, beyond impressed. The entire place was spotless and just as described. There was something for everyone and the layout fit my family comfortably. The host was communicative and fair, making the entire stay painless and an absolute pleasure to stay at. Plus the location is amazing. Could not recommend enough.

Beautiful cozy house will definitely book again soon. We felt right @ home .

Great place, closed to the lake, restaurants, market and other places. House was very clean, spacious for our huge family. Host took great care of us.

This house was the perfect fit for our family over the christmas holiday. The hosts setup lovely christmas decorations which was a very nice surprise. We’ve stayed in plenty of airbnb’s over the years over christmas and this was the first time a host did that. Also, John was very responsive to our needs. We wouldn’t change a thing about our time here. Thanks John and Rachel!

Dear Melissa and Jason, Thank you kindly. So grateful for our stay! We loved our lovely time in your truly cozy cottage. It was so beautifully designed, very quiet, clean and peaceful. Well appointed with all supplies you need. Comfy beds, awesome tub, amazing atmosphere. Falling asleep to the shushing sounds of the wind through the trees was magical. We sincerely appreciated your prompt kind communication and local suggestions. Your home is a treasure. We’ll be back. 🫶

This has been the best Airbnb i’ve stayed in so far. Lisa is super sweet and whenever i had a question she would respond quickly which was super helpful. I also loved the area it honestly gave Twilight vibes and we absolutely loved! my friends, family enjoyed it and we’ll definitely be back!
