Spacious

Great location, walkable to Alpline slide / sledding, but careful crossing the main road. Plenty of room to spread out. Enjoyed hot tub on deck. As with any 3-story house, the top floor is a lot warmer than the bottom floor bedrooms. Also tell your friends to tread lightly in the morning if people still sleeping downstairs.

Great views and amenities

Cabin was as advertised - great big living space for our two families to enjoy the winter weekend. Walking distance to a brewery, Alpine Slide, and The Village, which was a lifesaver during the busy holiday weekend. Hot water was plentiful, water pressure was good, house was fully stocked with appliances (Crock Pot came in clutch for dinners), cooking utensils, dishes, pots and pants, pet items, bedding, and was clean upon arrival. Suzannah was always quick to respond to messages. Only drawbacks were the lack of eating utensils and spa towels (nothing a quick run in the dishwasher or dryer couldn't fix), a 30-minute time limit for the hot tub, and the unsafe ladders to the top bunks in the kids' room. The ladders were stored under the beds and when put in place, lacked the necessary bolts to secure to the top bunk, which made it loose and wobbly (our kids fell off a few times). There was a stepstool in the closet which was just too short for our kids to climb into the beds and way too low for them to use to get out of the beds (the top bunk kids are 9 & 11 and almost 5' tall-- but their legs were still too short to safely get in and out). All in all, a great stay with amazing views (we were treated to a surprise fireworks show over the lake for NYE-- front row view!), fantastic location, and full amenities.

Fabulous Stay!

We celebrated my daughter's sweet 16 birthday and the property was clean and perfect for our needs. Excellent location near the brewery and the Village-walkable. The 8 girls were able to stay on the top floor and we stayed on the ground floor and the kitchen and living room were the middle floor. We had a blast in the spa, watched movies on the comfy couch and big screen, had everything we needed to cook including salt, pepper and other spices in addition to ample pots and pans. I thought we would use the garage game room, but we never did as we were quite busy in the spa and watching movies. My only complaint would be the foot noise above, from the ground floor. When we went to bed on the ground floor, the girls stayed up and watched movies on the middle floor. We were woken up by the floor noises when they all got up and went to bed. If you are a light sleeper, you would be better off on the top floor. However, we will definitely stay again. One other improvement would be more towels for the spa and bathrooms. There were only 6 spa towels, so bring your own if you need more and bring laundry soap if not. We were constantly throwing spa towels and bath towels in the dryer for the next use. Suzannah was prompt to respond to any questions we had and everything was easy and stress free.

Hosts are very clear about expectations and procedures. Keyless entrance is convenient.This rental is budget friendly.The hot tub is nice, but not at all private. The kitchen is older, but appliances are good. Living room has big comfy sectional, but the recliner doesn’t recline. The washer is located in a bedroom with the dryer located in the game room, so laundry has to go up & down two separate flights of stairs to complete a load. The game room has a strange odor and the pool table was very worn. None of the four bedrooms have a private bathroom. Two queen rooms share a jack-n-jill; primary is upstairs next to the bunk room. This level shares one bath accessed through the shared landing. Carpet is newer. Beds are ok

Cabin needs a touch up

Good location, decent size with a great view from the balcony, however this cabin is in need of serious maintenance. Very different from what the pictures show. There are extension cords running up the walls of the living room, the wood on the deck and outdoor furniture is completely falling apart and peeling/cracking. A couple of our kids got splinters. The kitchen is functional but appliances are cheap and unreliable. Also if you’re renting in the summer be aware there is no air-conditioning and the place gets very hot, especially in the rooms above the garage - cools off a bit at night but not enough to be comfortable even with fans running. We also had a hard time finding acess to the lake walking distance from the property. If looking in Big Bear I think there are better options at this price point.

We look forward to hearing from you!
