House was perfect and had everything we needed for the days we were there. Definitely would recommend this rental. ##### Patricia C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt Z. 7 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great value House is in a very quiet neighborhood with some nice amenities: hot tub, game room, BBQ and decks. Location is by the airport between Big Bear City and Big Bear Lake so you need to drive into town. Back yard is fenced in which is great if you bring your dog. Kitchen is great for cooking. Bathrooms are clean as are the bedrooms. Would recommend without reservation. ##### Matt Z. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah P. 21 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family weekend This was a great place to stay for our family. There was enough room for everyone to spread out and bathrooms to get ready. We enjoyed the decks and game room. We did not have any noise problems as I was worried about from other reviews. Octoberfest was happening and you can hear the music throughout the neighbor from the convention center. Noise travels far in the mountains. Carpet could be cleaned as it looked dirty in walkway areas. Bring blankets as there was no extra. Would stay again. ##### Sarah P. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosa A. 7 Aug 2017 #### Very comfortable home. We loved it! Great place to stay! Comfortable and spacious. Very clean. We appreciated the ceiling fans in all rooms. Game room was fantastic. Kitchen was well equiped. The house accomodations made our July family vacation in Big Bear a success. Note: we all had some trouble with the mattresses, they were uneven, noisy and in some beds, we could feel the metal springs at the mattress surface. We would consider staying there again, just hoping to have new beds! Thank you to VRBO staff, they had great customer service! Rosa. ##### Rosa A. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin B. 20 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bear Escapes- Mostly O We mostly enjoyed our stay at this property. We had plenty of room for our large group. We also had one dog, which the house was able to accommodate. All in all, a nice stay. The house is not perfect. Some of the living room furniture is on the older side and the mattresses are not very comfortable. Not a big deal. The upstairs shower is missing tiles. It obviously has been an issue for quite awhile based on the damage to the wall and downstairs. The backyard is sketchy. Nothing but overgrown weeds. Not well kept In back at all. We didn’t want to spend any in the hot tub because of the yard. I would expect a rental to have a decently maintained yard. And the shower needs to be fixed. Otherwise we really did have a nice time. ##### Kevin B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 22 Sept 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Did its job, would not stay again. Positives: The cabin is large and a good size for big groups, we had 6 adults 3 kids, and 2 dogs and we all had our own space. The deck was nice with a large table and the location was decent. We were 6 minutes from the public boat launch/beach, and the city/ grocery shops, 15 minutes from the zoo. The hot tub was nice and clean as well and having a back yard was a plus. Negatives: The cabin was falling apart. Within 5 minutes of arrival we had struggles with getting the door open as the key in the door knob would not turn, later on we found out why, as the entire handle came off in my hand when I simply opened the door. Thankfully we were able to get it back on and working. Most of the windows were difficult to open, and the beds were uncomfortable. The downstairs master bedroom bed is crooked and tilted up with a broken bed frame, the upstairs beds have springs you can feel in your back. The "updated" kitchen had broken parts in the fridge, and the dishwasher while working, was also broken, as well as one of the bar stools. The stove did not start with out a lighter. The BBQ had no shield so it was just cooking on open flame. The clothes washer was not working for our visit. The dart board had no darts as they were all broken and there was no chalk for the pool table. The upstairs bathroom was missing two tiles and you could see into the wall. The curtains were see through, and the pole over the couch continued to fall apart if we touched the curtains to open the windows. Other Comments: If you are looking to stay in summer, take note theirs no A/C. Also note you are required to take all of your trash to an offsite dumpster, about 10 minutes away. We were required to report any initial damages within 1 hour of arrival, however as our stay went on we just kept finding more. Quite honestly I feel that I spent more than what the cabin was worth, and the pictures used to advertise are not updated. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### steffanie v. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### steffanie v.
