"Amazing location and stay by Gary! We were in a bind and needed to switch cabins last minute. Gary responded quickly to my request and had the place ready to go for us along with the AC going to ensure we were nice and cool upon arrival. Since it was last minute he even offered to order anything we needed to ensure we had everything. Best host I have ever had with VRBO!House was great, lots of space and beds to sleep on. House is very close to the Village and small brewery and coffee shop. I would definitely stay here again as it met all of our needs....thank you so much!"

Big Bear Lake Retreat w/ Game Room: 1 Mi to Slopes

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was great and the house was really clean thank you. The only thing I can say is the the queen bed is way to soft and the king bed was way to hard to sleep on so our nights sleeping were rough. Need more of a medium plush spring mattresses and not the memory foam ones. The only other item would be if the front little yard was fenced in and had turf down for the dog's. And there was a dead squirrel up along the left side of the house. This was a really great and spacious place to stay would definitely reserve again."

Nestled in Moonridge Close to Both Resorts, Hiking & Biking Trails!

"Great place to stay!"
