Thank you for the great feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the location, the views, and that the space worked well for your extended family. We'd love to welcome you back for another memorable stay!
We had a great weekend at Big Bear lake. Can’t beat this location in Boulder Bay, we brought our own paddle boards and floats. We also enjoyed fishing and jumping off the dock. There is morning shade as well as late afternoon shade from the trees. We barbecued and ate dinner on the deck with an awesome view. The game room stayed cool all day and our teens loved playing pool. We brought our own fans to cool down the bedrooms at night. We were able to walk to the Castle Rock trailhead to hike. I would definitely recommend this house, it is a great value and had everything we needed.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great weekend at Big Bear Lake and enjoyed the fantastic location in Boulder Bay. It sounds like you had a blast with paddle boarding, fishing, and jumping off the dock, making the most of the lake activities. It's great to know that the game room kept the teens entertained, and the Castle Rock trailhead hike added to the adventure. We appreciate your recommendation and are delighted that our property met all your needs. Providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay is our priority, and we're thrilled that you found it to be a great value. Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Big Bear Vacations, and we hope to welcome you back for another fantastic experience in the future.
Beautiful lake front home. Very comfortable furnishings and great layout, with ample room for our party of seven, including three young teens, two adults and two seniors. Our kids loved the bottom floor with pool table and other games. We have stayed in other homes that had little separation of play vs adult spaces, and found this home especially nice because the recreation was on a separate floor, leaving the living room quiet and relaxing for adults. Kitchen was well equipped, but could definitely use a new set of frying pans. There were lots of utensils, but no spatulas. Lastly, the barbecue starter wasn’t working and we had to turn on the gas and use a match, not ideal.The only drawback for us was the very steep driveway that would not accommodate our truck with boat on trailer. We ended up putting the trailer in the parking area up by the road. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to others.

problems to note
Spectrum TV box for downstairs not functional: moved the functional one from living room to downstairs. Lots of mice running around the house after 9pm. House was marginally clean and vacuum cleaner was left in dining room. BBQ so disgusting we chose not to use it. Beds and pillows were not great - some worse than others. We were provided 2 dishwasher pods and 2 garbage bags for a 4 day stay with 8 people - entirely inadequate so we had to go buy more. The fireplace downstairs not functional ( didn't try the upstairs one but it was very cold downstairs so needed it). The location to take the garbage way too far away in the opposite direction so we actually brought bags of garbage home to Santa Barbara with us - not an ideal situation.
