We had a great time at this cabin, and the pictures don’t do it justice. It was a beautiful place in person and very comfortable for our family. I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking to stay in Big Bear.
Great place with great view of the lake. Nice spacious rooms. Minutes from the village & lake.

Nice stay
Property was ok first off all there is a trash issue in the property you can’t leave your trash behind because they charge you 25 per bag you leave behind after checking out so they send you to a location were you have to dump it yourself and the line to get thru that is very long and is very frustrating because they charge a cleaning fee of 200 you can’t leave dirty dishes. A lot of stuff is broken and a lot of lights don’t work they don’t provide you with enough paper towels and toilet paper for the amount of people we book it for so if you are trying to book this place, just make sure you bring enough paper towels and enough toilet paper. Other than that it was a pretty well stay
The heater in the basement was not working at all. The disposer was not working in the sink and it was clogged. A house that needs a maintenance should not be there on the list.
We were a little wary of booking a place with no reviews but couldn't be happier with our stay. While this house is quite a long way back in Moonridge, the views are awesome (lake and ski slopes), the balcony is wide, the bedrooms are large and comfortable, and there's a gas bbq that wasn't mentioned under amenities. The home is on the downhill side of a flat part of the road with easy access and parking for two cars (three if you double-park) on the pad out front.
The balcony was perfect for a quiet coffee before breakfast and for a family bbq and dinner (7 adults...2 parents, 3 grown sons, plus 2 girlfriends). The kitchen was well-appointed. We were a little surprised that there were absolutely no condiments (salt, sugar, Keurig capsules, anything) but that's probably the new COVID normal...nothing carries over from rental to rental. Seating in the upstairs family area was comfortable even with 7 of us...four over 6ft. Wifi was great....no problems simultaneously streaming from 2 TVs plus whatever on-and-off iPhone streaming was going on.
The management people were easy to communicate with through the VRBO App. We usually heard back within an hour or so during the rental and a day or so before...but not so great 5 days before. There are a lot of rules and a lot of small fees if you don't leave the place set-up right (for example: $25 if you don't hook the TV back up the way it was when you arrive or if you leave any food behind). The posted rules give a very strict, unfriendly feel but I think they're there as incentives and reminders and we had no problems getting a full refund of our deposit. Checkout at 10am was a pain in the butt and they were unable to offer late checkout but that's not unusual. It wasn't cheap but we felt like we got what we paid for. The sole negative was the complicated navigation up the hill with maze-like turns: but the drive was worth it. We would definitely rent this property again.
