Great location. It is a stretch to call a closet with an accordion door a bedroom ,that was a disappointment. Also, the cleanliness was quite questionable.

Thank you for your review and bringing these issues to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during your stay. We take all guest feedback seriously and will be flagging the home for a thorough audit to address the cleaning issues with the vendor. We want to clarify that the smallest bedroom is around 100 square feet and we will discuss the best ways for communicating this to future guests aside from the pictures of the listing. Thank you again for your feedback, we hope you'll give us another chance in the future.

Older, but good place to stay

There’s plenty of paces to sleep. But 4 of the beds are twins, so I would not recommend those beds for adult males. The master has a king bed, and there is also a pullout upstairs. The kitchen desperately needs new pots and pans. Most of them I wouldn’t trust to cook in. The location is great.

The stay was nice, but there was a bat in the house. The previous guest knew because they left a message on the chalkboard. They sent someone to get it, but because of where the bat was located, they were unable to do anything. When I was speaking to animal control, they asked for all my information, including my first and last name and home address because they were going to catch the bat and check it for rabies now that they didn’t. I’m kind of scared.

Misleading location and filthy carpets

The name on location very misleading said it was steps from lifts it was not. The carpets were filthy. Black marks everywhere I sent pics to housekeeping no response.

Hello Chris, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We did receive your email about the carpets and it looks like Shakira responded to you that same day through the email. The carpet was the only complaint we received from you. After your stay, we did schedule a carpet cleaner vendor to address the carpets. We did not do this during your stay as the vendor wouldn't have been able to clean it properly while the presence of others. Kind Regards, Destination Big Bear

Nice, relaxed weekend stay

The property is very nice. The house is small but very comfortable and has all the amenities that we were looking for. The check in process unfortunately was not the best experience. The moment I walked up to the window I was told in a very rushed manner the process of checking in. There’s quite a bit of steps you have to take on their device to check in. I asked her to repeat the process, she repeated it again very quickly and immediately called up the next customer in line and ask them for their information to start checking them in. She wasn’t done with me yet! I understand the office wants to get through all the guests in a timely manner but I felt very rushed and frankly pushed out as quickly as possible. Aside from that experience everything else was fine and comfortable. One thing you will want to be prepared for is parking permits. We were not given any for our two cars and after we returned from a day at the slopes, we came back to a parking violation notice on our car. The communication with the office was very good and prompt and they were able to give me instructions on how to get the permits but it would’ve been good to get that during check-in. Otherwise the stay was pleasant, we enjoyed the space.

Hello Sandy, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are so happy to hear that this property Snow Summit Slopeside Retreat was all you expected in a home and that you and your group got to enjoy their stay. We really apologize for the trouble you got due to check-in and parking. This is not what we like to hear from our tenants, and not up to our standards. We will make note on this and address it right away with our management staff, Moreover Big Bear Lake City ordinance limits the number of cars that can park at each property. These are set by the city or county and are non-negotiable. Guests found to be in violation will be subject to immediate eviction, But we are happy that they cooperate with and had good communication and gave proper instructions related to that. We'll definitely try our best to get this up for future guests. Apart that hopefully you had a great stay, Thank you, Destination Big Bear

Great location and cozy, some cleanliness issues

Had a great stay overall! The location is what really makes this place, and the decor is so cozy and inviting. Fireplace was wonderful to have, and there is easy short access to the slopes. The carpet was very dirty and stained, it very much needs a deep professional cleaning or replacement, and there is a musty odor throughout the home most likely due to age and humidity. The comforters were all quilted, and I often prefer all white bedding including comforters so that I know they have been washed and cleaned. The bathrooms are in good condition, but the 2nd bath is carpeted and that raised another cleanliness issue. We just used the master bath the whole time. The kitchen was very clean and we stocked for cooking and baking! The fireplace was amazing and overall we made great memories. It's just the few cleanliness issues based on our stringent standards. We would likely stay in this condo community again, but maybe a different place!

Dirty feel not cozy feel

This property did not match the overview on VRBO. The place was very dirty and had a bad smell. There was nothing comfortable about it. The positive was the location. It was very convenient being next to Snow Summit.. When we walked in we were shocked at the state of the condo. Dirty carpet, stained pillows, bad smell etc. There are 3 TV’s in the main room, yes 3. We didn’t use any of them because we weren’t going to sit on the dirty couch or floor. One of the TV’s isn’t mounted or on its stand. It literally is just balancing on a narrow table. I tried to text the property manager when we arrived but I included pictures and that didn’t allow my texts to go through. Overall, we were very dissatisfied and disappointed. You couldn’t pay us to stay in this condo again.

Perfect location for skiers

Some of the dishes were dirty and one of the TVs was damaged, and other than a musty smell and dirty carpet, it was clean. Absolute perfect location for skiers we had a fabulous day on the slopes and enjoyed the view of the slopes from the balcony.

Great location, average to shabby property, real problems with property management

1) Very excited about our first visit to Big Bear Lake, 2) Put off by the disinterested treatment we received from the Property Management company people at check-in (it wasn't clear the teenager at the desk had either showered or changed clothes in several days, and it was clear he was barely interested in being in the room, let alone assist us) 3) Were not told about the need for a parking permit at the property (ski condos) either in the check-in materials or by the property manager. We were told to talk to the condo property manager, who told us he didn't issue parking permits after 5pm. This with big signs saying non-permitted cars would be towed. 4) Unit was mostly clean, but there were big stains in the carpet at the stairs leading to the upper level - very odd. 5) Everything felt worn and shabby. Must have been a nice unit, once upon a time. 6) Decided to put everything back in the car and head home. 7) VRBO was very responsive to our call and we received a full refund - thank you VRBO! Will double-check what we're renting when/if we try to stay in Big Bear again.

Clean Big Bear Condo close to Village

Easy check in and check out process. Parking is a little ways from the condo itself so don't expect that you will be parked right in front of your rental. Well stocked with the exception of a toaster. Plenty of silverware so we didn't have to constantly do dishes. We would come back to this property, especially during the winter since it's basically right next to Snow Summit.
