Cozy Cabin
We enjoyed this family get away. It’s a small cozy cabin that fit two adults and two children well. The house was clean and has a nice back yard and front porch. Only thing that was bothersome is that upon entry to the living room, there was an animal urine odor. Most likely from pets being able to say at the property. I would have the management shampoo the rug or replace it. Other than that, really a nice cozy place.

Weekend getaway
This cabin was exactly as described. The place was cozy and warm after snowing all day. The village was a quick walk. The bed was comfortable and all areas of the house were clean. The backyard was a huge bonus. I brought my dog and he was able to play in the snow to his hearts content. For a weekend getaway it was the perfect location.

Family ski trip
This was an excellent family rental! It was touch and go with the changing weather and reload closures… the property manager and owner were excellent! They kept us updated on the roads and helped us find a way up! The cabin was cozy and very close to snow summit summit. Great family vacation!

Perfect getaway for our small family
We had a fabulous experience at this lovely cabin. Perfect size for the 4 of us. My son turned 9 and all he wanted was a cabin vacation. The host was very easy to communicate with and check in was easy. The location was the highlight as it was easy to go to the lake or the little village shops. It was a fun experience for our first time in Big Bear and first time VRBO user.

Nice but could use some extras
At the end of the day we enjoyed our annual family big bear trip but the cabin could use a little extras... the location was great! The backyard was enclosed and safe for snow play for the littles as well as a big patio to grill on and hang with the family. The spa was excellent and just what we needed at the end of the day. Sheets were clean and beds were comfortable. The tv was easy to navigate and had Netflix which was great... however the cabin smelt like someone had a bonfire inside when we entered so we had to air it out for a couple hours. The key only locked the screen door so it felt a little unsafe when we slept at night. There was only one dish towel to dry the hand washed dishes all weekend. They wanted us to clean the patio and any evidence of a BBQ yet there was no broom provided to do so. It also would have been nice to have some snow play saucers on site for the kids. When all is said and done we enjoyed our stay and would rent again. Thank you Mary!

Good location but place could have been cleaner. Property manager. Bring your own pillows.
The place was in a good location near the Village and there was good communication with the Owner. The communication between the property manager and owner was sub par and the sheets/pillows and couch had dog hair. Asked for new sheets. Property manager called me and advised that cleaning services would bring sheets and install them on the bed. Apparently Maintenance came instead and they would not install them on the bed. They failed to bring the correct size sheets. Had to message owner since property manager office was closed. They stated there was miscommunication and that’s why the incorrect size sheets were delivered and said cleaning service would bring the new sheets. Maintenance brought the correct sized sheets instead of cleaning services again, but would not install on the bed. Maintenance did take the dirty sheets. Eyes were itchy during the trip. I would recommend bringing your own pillows. Kitchen table had ash on it upon arrival. I recommend owner hiring a better cleaning service.
