Loved our stay at Mary's cabin
We had a fantastic stay at Mary's cabin, four adult two generation family. The cabin was perfect for us, sufficient distance between the couples, fun game room in the basement, easy access to the lake and even a peak view of the lake from the dining room and deck. We had a few confusions in some directions but a property manager came out very quickly and helped us get everything set up straight. Highly recommend this unit for a quick weekend in Big Bear.

Description was a bit misleading.
This is a cozy property and we loved the fact that we could literally walk to the lake however some things were a bit misleading. There is no pool table at the property. Even though the images show it has one. It took a whole day to heat up the spa. I called 3 times to figure out how to do it and when a repair guy finally called back he said we have to keep the cover on in order for it to heat up. So it was heating up all Friday evening. Didn’t get to use it until Saturday. Also the kitchen is full of ants! Chair cushions on the outside patio are all ripped. One of the windows was missing a screen so we couldn’t open it because bugs were flying in.

Great home with only a few dislikes; upstairs AC did not work properly and the silly rule about no sleeping downstairs! Other then that the home was very clean and well stocked with all necessities. Loved that it was dog friendly however the yard was not in the best of conditions for my dogO. Good location(walking distance)for kayaking and picnic area!

Pictures no where close to actual
This place is used and abused. Outside seating is tore up. Kitchen supplies are minimal or broken, and don’t use one of the two can openers because those won’t work either. The beds feel like a bear slept in one spot to hibernate, the shower curtain is about to fall off because they can’t spend $12 on Amazon for more hooks to keep it on the rod. Oh and please don’t rehang up your towel, because I’m pretty sure the towel rack will fall out of the wall. So if all you want to do is sit on the couch, you’ll be happy because the view on the deck that they show you…has a ton of electrical wires in the view and you won’t want to sit outside on the torn seating.

Not bad - BRING YOUR TOILETRIES
The layout is kind of weird, in order to access the game room and the downstairs area you have to go through the master bathroom, and if someone is using the bathroom you cannot go downstairs unless you go outside the house and walk around it. NO TOILETTERIES or hair drier, this was a first for us. We have stayed in many properties but never had one without basic toiletries such as soap, shampoo, or conditioner. This was my first time at Big Bear, so to me, it felt like the house was outside of the main town area which is not bad, BUT if you have a second vehicle, you have to park it at the main office in town, which is about a 10-minute drive. My recommendation is that if you stay at this place, make sure your whole party fits in one vehicle for convenience (this is not a con since it is the city's policy and not management's rule). Other than that, it served its purpose for the weekend : )

Best Location!
This property was situated in the perfect location, a short walk to the lake at Boulder Bay. The deck was high up with a beautiful view of the lake and mountain side. The inside had a nice breeze flowing through it and was very cozy. We will definitely look forward to returning hopefully soon!

Not as expected
Overall our family had a pleasant time at this house. The house had everything we needed, plenty of games, dishes, utensils, towels, etc., location was not as expected and parking was extremely difficult even with just one vehicle. House was clean, layout was strange. Overall the house was fine and we had a good time, but we would probably not stay here again.

Ugh
So many things were bad. Just gonna list… Parking was horrible…1 car spot. Jacuzzi was super dirty AND jets did not work at all. At least it was hot. Gate at top was useless. Did not latch or open all the way. Pots and pans were old and broken. No Teflon left on any. Shade was locked in the up position. No way to bring it down. Sunset fried thru the livingroom and no way to watch tv with the glare. The owners need to put some money back into this house. Not worth half of what we paid to rent it.

Was ok- good location
The property was a good location, but there needs to be some updates. The hot tub was dirty and water levels were low, so the water was not high enough to go through the filters. There were also a lot of ants when we got there and mouse droppings. The property served its purpose, but there were some cleanliness issues.

Don't want to tell the truth -- want this place for ourselves!
About 25 years ago this cabin was owned by our neighbors in Long Beach and we would frequently visit it with our young kids. Great memories. The cabin was not on the rental market for many years, but recently was upgraded and put back on the market. It is perfect for us. Just the right cozy size and now it has a hot tub on the deck. Still has a real fireplace and nice high location/views. Everything is just right: much thanks to the new owner. Only possible issue it that one has to drive up and down a steep unmaintained road to reach it. So if it snows a lot while you're there, make sure to put on your chains before attempting the descent.

Great spot!
Mary’s Lake Cabin was a great and central location. Given COVID we wanted to stay in a bit and Mary’s Lake Cabin was comfortable enough to do just that as it was clean and well equipped for cooking in stay in. The games didn’t suck either. The only trouble was finding the place as GPS takes you to the condo building across the street, once you see you have to go up dirt road, there was easy and clear signage on the house. Thanks Mary!

Personal Experience
It was a nice, cozy cabin in a great location. It had a great deck with a beautiful view. The amenities were exactly as described and shown on the website, and inside of the house was clean. There are two complaints I have for this place. First, I saw a couple of mice inside the house. I understand that we were in the mountains, and seeing a mouse in the cabin could be normal, but when there is more than one, you need to do pest control. I called the management company, and the representative was indifferent, saying that it's normal in the mountain and we can't do anything. The second thing I did not like was the hot tub because the water was not clean at all, so we decided not to use it.
