The cabin was cozy, sweet, spacious. The pool table kept us busy and the walk around the lake. I loved the beds that allowed us comfort after a busy day.Roof door entrance had a patch and it broken open and leaked at the door way. Too cold for mold but it didn't ruin our vacation. Owner was nice wanted to fix but we wanted our privacy and it was a small leak.

Very Rustic Cabin
Our group was four adults and two children. The cabin is roomy, in a quiet location by the lake with a nice pool and swing set for the kids. We relaxed and enjoyed the extended weekend. The cabin has not been renovated as described and everything is old and dirty. Dishwasher was broken and electrical looked dangerous. Rustic is a polite way of saying this cabin is a dump. Rats ate our tomatoes and bread the first night and ants invaded. Everything must be kept in the refrigerator. The decking is so rotten that both my grandsons injured their feet on the old protruding nails and splintering, rotting wood. You could consider it expensive GLAMPING just make sure to keep your shoes on!

Nasty cabin
This cabin will perfect but cleaning and maintenance are terrible. The toilet in the master bedroom was not bolted down so it moved when you sat also had vomit in the corner! Dirty carpet! The dinner room cushions were very dirty and full of stains. The pool table was dusty, if this place was updated it would be great. Perfect location!

Lodge 1
The cabin looked exactly like the pictures, however there was a few things the pictures hid. Like the broken tiles and uneven floor in the kitchen which could potentially be a fall hazard. Carpets were full of stains, there was a thin layer of dust on the mantle and the smell of smoke permeated and assaulted my nose. The toilet in the master bedroom was not bolted down so it moved when you sat .think I would not rent this cabin again.

My 51st Birthday
This property exceeded my expectations with the space of the rental, the activities, the beauty of the lakeside view location, the heated pool. It was so fun and felt like home. There is more than anyone could desire for close dining and shopping, the pool and jaquizzi were heated, there was more than enough activities to do while we were there. We will definately be back!! The place was a 3 bedroom and it was Myself (the birthday girl) my 2 daughters and thier husbands and our dogs. Big ++ dog friendly. I can't wait until the next vacation. Thank you Big Bear Vacations for a Great stay and a super easy check-in and check-out. Excellent Customer Service and a really nice Office Manager who was on her first day of the job but you wouldn't have known it the way she was taking care of the property and attending to the guests. I definately will be recommending this place.

Very old cabin
This cabin needs to be updated starting from the exterior walls to the doors and very dirty carpets. Couches were very old, 3 bedrooms with only 1 TV in the living room and cannot even use to be connected to the internet. There's a DVD player but no DVD to try if it works as well. Microwave is not heating up. Vrbo official should check this property in fairness of the loyal customers like us and tell them what's needed to be done.

Lanie, let me begin by apologizing for the time it's taken me to get back to you. I am so sorry that the home was not up to standards. However, let me clarify that the T.V. in the home is not a Smart T.V. it has access to Satelite broadcast, and it has an HDMI port. It states so in the description for the home. As for the DVD player, we do not provide the DVDs themselves, but you are more than welcome to bring your own ;) . Once again I do apologize for the home not being up to standard, but we hope to see you again soon, if not in this home then in one of our other 300+ homes. Have a wonderful day!

Old Time Charm and Great Location
The property is very charming and has lots of amenities. The location is also amazing. Because the property was built in the early 1900's, one shouldn't expect 21st century upgrades. Our two families had a wonderful time.

Settling
The pots and pans are extremely dated, broken tile in the bathroom, an old filter in the coffee pot. I had paid for late check out for 3pm and at noon the cleaners knocked on the door then at 1 the owner or whoever he was walked right into our cabin. I asked for a copy of the rules and was denied it. There was suppose to be three parking spots and there was only one available. There was trash under the couches. It is walking distance to lake and very close to summit and the village.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2023
We are sorry you had this experience. That storm was bigger than any we have seen in 10 to 20 years. It really was a learning curve for Big Bear Vacations and the whole town! We are taking a hard look at how we approach snow removal so we are more prepared and more responsive in the future. I have also forwarded you info about the pots and pans to the Team/Owner. Regarding this and your other concerns, this is certainly not our standard. I hope you filled out a Concern Form so we can review and address your concerns. When things go wrong we try very hard to make it right.
A Note About Parking:
During Winter months parking is greatly reduced due to Snow Conditions. Big Bear Vacations utilizes the Contract, Check in Paperwork, email notifications, and Front Desk Staff to educate Guests on what to expect. The contract actually states: "During the winter month’s driveways, steps, porches, decks and other outdoor areas at you property may not be accessible due to snow and/or ice. In winter months be prepared to have tire chains equipped on your vehicle." Additionally paperwork states: Cars must be parked legally (off street). Max Parking is in good weather (Snow conditions reduce parking spaces).
Please be prepared if you are coming to Big Bear during a snow storm. Bring Chains and carpool when you can!

Great location but Cabin is not maintained
Great location near the lake. Gave it 2 starsdue to location and it was near Snow Summit. Cabin needs to be more maintained and updated. The Master bedroom's toilet does not function properly (we had to remove the toilet cover and pull down the lever) in order for it to flush. We ended up using one bathroom the whole time we were there. Loose cabinets in the kitchen needs to be fixed to prevent injury.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2023
Thank you for taking the time to post your review. The cupboard and toilet concerns have been addressed and corrected. We appreciate you letting us know about this. These are rustic cabins it is true, but that is part of the authenticity of Shore Acres Lodge. The cabin at Shore Acres were built early around 1907. They have been updated over the years but still have the "cabin in the mountains" feel. So of course, sometime little things might come up ~ but we strive to keep the romantic early century Big Bear flare while offering all the comforts of home.
Don't forget about all the wonderful qualities of Shore Acres as well. Shore Acres Lodge holds the best kept secret to quality vacation time. 2 acres of lakefront property hold 11 individual cabins that range from a romantic studio to 2 bedrooms. All of the cabins are decorated in a cozy big bear mountain-style décor and have fully equipped kitchens and most have fireplaces. Their close proximity to the lake, all these cabins are prime lakefront properties. 3 of the cabins are lakefront cabins, the others are a stone throw from the lake.
There is plenty of snow in winter to enjoy and the ski and snowboard resorts are just minutes away. In the center of the Shore Acres property there’s a heated swimming pool (seasonal) and a hot, bubbling Jacuzzi. The kids can find their own entertainment in the play area, swinging away, building sand castles or playing a game of Ping-Pong. Volleyball anyone? The big kids in the group (aka: adults) have plenty of leisure time activities as well! Gather the group for a game of volleyball, badminton or horseshoes at the Lodge. If you are more into solo sports, grab your fishing pole and some good bait and cast out your line from our private beach area. These Big Bear lakefront lodge is known for it prime fishing location. If that’s too much exertion for you, just grab your favorite book and sit on your own sundeck or by the lake in the beach area while sipping on some lemon aide. (If it’s too cold outside, sit inside your cabin with some hot chocolate!)
With all this in mind we do hope you give Shore Acres another visit very soon. We are confident we can earn a better rating from you next time!
