You get what you paid for

Property was moderately clean, it was very clear it is pet friendly, some furniture had pet hair on it that ended up on us. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped. Its a good 20 min drive to the village.

Christmas in Big Bear City

We spent 5 nights for the Christmas holidays. Our goal was to spend family time together, pjs all day, walks, movies, cooking, games. We did not end up using the hot tub, so no feedback. We did cook a lot - the kitchen is small but it worked for multiple cooks in the kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked for baking and making food. We shot pool in the game room - I highly recommend a heater as it was very cold we wore jackets. Get a wall heater - they don't cost much and this room would be much more enjoyable. The jacuzzi tub in the downstairs bathroom is awesome!! There is only one shower - located in the upstairs bathroom. Highly recommend adding a small shower in the downstairs bathroom. Luckily for us we were doing nothing and going no where or else this might have been an issue. The fireplace in the living room was lovely. The large dining room table was perfect for us. The TV and apps provided us with exactly what we needed.
