Lakefront property, Big Bear
The property is as pictured. That check-in process was easy and communication with the host was excellent. The property is right on the lake with beautiful views and balconies off each room. We had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

Extremely disappointing for the price paid… as soon as you walk in it REEKS OF Cigarette SMOKE. No hot water you will stand there for minutes freezing wondering if this will ever warm up.. it doesn’t … you get spider webs around every turn, not joking from ceiling to walls to in between bedframes… cabin is falling apart … there have been some renovations but over all this place is a liability for injury… thankful we were ok.. It was COLD ! , you can literally see through the cabin walls due to deteriorating wood smh … Lost power for a couple mins on day 2 ..heater is extremely loud good luck sleeping.. checked the closets and found dirty sheets from previous stays.. that room smelled nice! The best part about the cabin was that we did not get bitten by a brown recluse or freeze to death.. location was extremely convenient but that’s about the only thing this place had going for it.. not worth the money find a another property …

Nice place
The location of the house was nice. It was just outside of town and about 2 miles from snow summit. It is in the water but the lake is still low so the water right there is not the best. The dock is not useable so don’t plane in that. You are right behind the hall away marina and they have boat slips if you need to dock your boat. The inside of the house was fantastic. The bedroom layouts are perfect and you can tell they are making upgrades as they go along. I would recommend this unit.

The Rental Left A LOT to be desired!
One of the 2 showers did not work. This is tough when you have a large group. Upon telling the rental company about this, they didn't really seem to care. Multiple doors on the property did not lock. This is problematic for obvious reasons! There were open joints all throughout the cabin where you could see light coming thru. There was mold in the one of the downstairs bedrooms. There was a hornets nest in the wall. The Thermostat could not be adjusted (per checkout instructions). We ulimately enjoyed our stay. But this cabin left a lot to be desired and is in major need of being updated!

Amazing cabin and fun stay!
We booked this for our early Thanksgiving celebration with our family and we all loved our stay here! There is a pool table and we had fun playing all day! Our family enjoyed our time here and they wanna come back again next year! The owner was very responsive when I asked questions. Overall, we had fun in this beautiful cabin!

Loved our Christmas 2024 Trip
We spent our Christmas week in the cabin with some family. Great experience. Issues that other guests have had are fixed already or fixable with common sense. For instance, the downstairs bedroom with the queen bed is coldest, keep the door open. It took us one night to figure that out. Check the vents to make sure they’re open. Loft is the warmest (duh, hot air rises). Kitchen had almost everything you need, but no spices but so what, not a big deal to grab in town, try out grocery outlet! They have everything! Upstairs bathroom had some issues with warmth, but it wasn’t cold. Just wasn’t super hot. I’m always freezing but I managed to use this shower for our entire 5 day stay. Downstairs shower has hotter water so if you like that better, go use that one. Some spider webs, but never saw a spider. It’s a mountain, spiders live there too. They definitely caused no issue for us. We had an issue at check in but it was resolved within 30 minutes and we were able to get into the beautiful cabin. Nice big clean fridge. The pool table was a great time. The cabin was clean and quiet, plenty of room, and worked well for our group. We had a wonderful Christmas, and can’t think of any real complaints. Perfect location for us. Close to town. Everything was clean, everything works. Loved the wrap around porch and views. Our party ranged in age from 11-67 and everyone enjoyed their time. Thank you so much!!

Amazing location, Amazing property, and overall a wonderfully rental property. The only issues were that the rental did not come with toiletries, cleaning supplies, many spiderwebs and lastly the roof sprung leak on us early morning. None of the negative point would keep me from renting this property again not major issues for us.

Quaint but did not meet expectations
The cabin needs some upgrading as other reviewers have stated. The lock in the sliding glass door in the living room is non-existent so it's a good thing it's on the second floor. The jacuzzi was partially filled so we couldn't use it. We knew from the description the boat dock wasn't available but it needs serious repair if/when the water level does go back up. Word of warning, the light in the 2nd floor bathroom has a timer. It will switch off leaving one to shower in the dark. For the price I paid, it was not worth it and the $200 cleaning fee is steep considering it was not spotless. The last thing I'll mention ... bring another wine glass if there's more than one person drinking wine. They have exactly 1 but many champagne glasses. The location was quiet and the pool table was a bonus even though it's in a tight space. I would stay here again but absolutely not at this price.

Winter escape
Our stay was fantastic. We arrived during the storm of the century in Big Bear, but the house and location made it worth while. It was a winter wonderland up in Big Bear. I was concerned about the heating working properly and internet, but both worked great our entire stay. The owner of the house was a text message away and answered any of our questions. She was wonderful to work with and was willing to accommodate an extra day at the house if we could not get down due to road closures. Fortunately, one Hwy opened so we were able to leave, but we would have loved to stay longer. We would definitely stay here again.
