We chose this house based on a quick search and hoped for the best. We were so unbelievably lucky to have stumbled upon this house! The location is amazing and within a short driving distance of big bear and its surroundings. Our kids loved the backyard and fire pit and even enjoyed the hot tub during the cold winter nights! The host was so helpful and checked in one time on our first night and again the night before and wasn’t over bearing or made us feel uncomfortable by constantly checking in but in the same breathe when we did need assistance they got back to us with an answer immediately. I wish there was more then just 5 stars because this owner deserves it the house is beautifully maintained and so homey and we will make this a tradition every year! ##### Michael T.

The property was clean, spacious and had all the modern amenities to make our stay very comfortable. The jacuzzi also looked warm and inviting, but sadly we forgot our swimsuit and couldn’t use it. Oh well hopefully on our next visit! The place is centrally located in a nice, quiet neighborhood, near grocery stores, shops and restaurants. I like to add that our host Dayma was wonderful. She was very kind and sweet, communicated well, but was not intrusive at all. I highly recommend this place, and hope to be back again soon!
