WowRentals manages luxury vacation rentals scattered around Big Bear Lake, offering everything from lakefront cabins to spacious estates with views of the water and surrounding mountains. Many of their properties welcome dogs, which makes a real difference when you’re planning a mountain getaway and don’t want to leave your dog behind.

The company started because there was a gap in what Big Bear Lake vacation rentals offered—owners wanted more variety and better management of dog-friendly properties. WowRentals filled that need by focusing on quality properties and actually caring about the details that matter when you’re traveling with a dog. You’ll find cabins with fenced yards, others with easy access to nearby trails, and places where the owners have clearly thought about what makes a dog-friendly rental actually functional rather than just technically allowing dogs.

What sets them apart is that they genuinely seem to understand what guests need. They manage the properties themselves rather than just listing them, so when something needs attention, there’s accountability. The selection ranges from cozy two-bedroom places perfect for a small group to larger estates if you’re bringing multiple dogs or traveling with extended family.

Big Bear Lake itself offers plenty to do with dogs once you’re settled—the lake has dog-friendly beaches during certain seasons, and the surrounding National Forest has trails ranging from easy walks to more ambitious hikes. The altitude (around 7,000 feet) means cooler temperatures, which dogs appreciate during warmer months.

When you’re booking, their website lets you filter by dog-friendly properties and see what each place offers. If you have questions about whether a specific cabin will work for your dog’s needs—whether you need a fenced yard, ground-floor access, or proximity to trails—reach out before booking. The team knows their properties well and can match you with the right place.
