I cannot recommend this place. Very old and run down. Several things didn’t work in the house including a toilet in the main bathroom. They came to try to fix it and were nice about any problems that arose but I would not stay here again! Also porch lights not on and it was dark. Could hardly find the place. Not welcoming at all. Overpriced completely for what you get here.

A wonderful mountain home to stay in

If I saw all the 2017 reviews here before I rented this house, I would not have rented it. But I didn't see them, so I did rent it, and I'm glad that I did.Every house, even a new one, will have it's issues. A Mountain Cabin will have even more issues, and a reviewer can easily point out little problems, be it a dusty shelf or a drawer that doesn't slide properly. The trick is to see through this stuff. It appears that this was originally a 2 bedroom home, and that a Master Bedroom was later added on to the side of the house. This is undoubtedly the focal point of the whole house. Its beautiful with a gas fireplace wrapped in a giant stone chimney and large timber trusses supporting the vaulted ceiling. The frame of the mater bed aesthetically matches the timber trusses up above and holds a very comfortable mattress. The fenced backyard will hold even the smallest of dogs. The front porch holds the BBQ and the spa. We had a issue getting the spa to work, and the property management company sent a representative to the home (within 1 hour!) to simply turn on the breaker. He explained that 'they must have forgotten to turn the breaker back on after flushing, cleaning and refilling it'. There is two deep, paved parking spots in front of the house, The street has multiple vacation homes, and while we were there (July 4 weekend) most homes were occupied. Less than a mile from this home is a vast system of hiking trails. And beach access is also about mile away.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review. We really appreciate you taking the time to look beyond the surface and share your genuine experience—it means a lot. You're absolutely right: no home is perfect, especially a mountain cabin with character and history. We’re glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful features of the master bedroom, including the vaulted ceilings, timber trusses, and cozy fireplace. It’s also great to hear the bed was comfortable and that the layout worked well for you and your pet. We’re sorry for the brief hiccup with the hot tub, but we’re happy our team was able to resolve it quickly. Your note about the convenient parking, peaceful yet active neighborhood, and nearby hiking and beach access is incredibly helpful for future guests. Thanks again for the kind words and for giving the home a chance—we’d love to host you again anytime!

2/10 Terrible

horrible

Don't stay here. Just awful. 1. staff is not helpful. They didn't book the day before and still didn't let us check in earlier then 4pm. 2. Place is dirty 3. Not as close to lake as appears. Much better options exist. I felt totally ripped off.

Thank you for sharing your story. I see you filled out a Guest Stay Concern form and reported "Old Furniture, Broken Items, missing screen, and possibly dirty linens." I personally responded to your Guest Stay Concern. I can tell you Big Bear Vacations cares very much about your experience. Every single home has fresh clean bed linens exchanged every time. Since this home is not a luxury home you may find wear and tear - that is natural in a regular mountain cabin. Of course Big Bear Vacations can not replace furniture without Owner approval - so there was only so much we could do with that information - and city ordinance only requires screens in bedrooms. As a company we responded to your concern with great compassion and offered 20% off a future stay. We would love to have you back and truly believe we can earn a better rating. It was just not the right cabin choice! We have over 300 properties to choose from and believe a better stay is possible in the future.

Cute little cabin that needs updating

Overall stay was okay...stayed here for a week with my husband and kids. Kitchen pots and pans need updating. Master bed needs a new mattress...it felt like I was sleeping in a hole each night. Some maintenance needs to be done to the cabin like tightening door knobs, kitchen table legs and chairs, and adding more lighting by the kitchen table. A broom or vacuum would have been nice since the entire downstairs is carpet except the kitchen and baths. We called for housekeeping like 5 times and they never showed up.
