Great house, great location. Owners were easy to work with. I highly recommend.
We had a great stay at the Linker Lodge this past week. House is well laid our for a large family to enjoy. Close to the slopes and shopping. Everything was clean and prepared for our arrival. We really appreciated having both bays in the 2-car garage available for parking.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Jeff! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great stay and that the layout of the house was well-suited for your large family. It's fantastic that the proximity to the slopes and shopping added to the convenience of your stay. We're also glad you found everything clean and well-prepared for your arrival, and that the availability of both bays in the 2-car garage was appreciated. If your plans bring you back to the area, we'd love to host you again.
We were 11 family members in Big Bear to attend a wedding - the house afforded enough room for us all to be together when we wanted to be and to be able to have some solitude when we wanted. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent Stay at a wonderful House
We went for a family vacation with our extended family. We enjoyed every moment that we spent at the house from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The house is beautiful with beautiful decor and very clean. House is close enough to the lake and village. We would definitely go there again and would recommend it to frens.

The place is really nice and spacious. It was able to accommodate my group of 10 comfortably. The best part of staying here was the stocked kitchen and the smart televisions with netflix, definitely made the trip fun. Also, the place is close to a Vons and the lake. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend some quality with friends and family.
Beautiful spacious home with wonderful kitchen and huge dining table for large groups. The game room was a hit with the kids! Around the corner from Snow Summit where we spent a day mountain biking and the marina where we Rented kayaks and paddle boards. Loved the neighborhood!

My family and I had an excellent weekend at this property and I would strongly recommend it to my family, friends, colleagues and employees.

Thank you to the owners of Linaker Lodge, very well kept and easy to work with.

It was incredible hosting you, ! Glad you enjoyed everything!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It had everything we needed (except for Tupperware/ foil/ cling wrap - bring your own). Also, the power went out in the city on our first night and they only had two extra blankets in the whole house. Besides that, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely rent the cabin again.
