Very disappointed
Very disappointing stay. All the roads were closed to Big Bear and the landlord was unreachable. I called and texted multiple times to see what we should do/to see if we could even get some of our money back and he was out of the country. Later sent me a picture of the lease saying “no refunds due to weather” so we roughed it up there with chains and trucks so we didn’t miss out on the $4,000 we put into this weekend. Surprisingly got up the mountain even though the property manager said it was a terrible idea to come up there. There was 1 trash bag and nothing in the kitchen (minimal kitchen supplies, not even cooking oil). For a house that sleeps 16 people it should be way more stocked than this. Since we couldn’t reach the landlord we had to pay someone $180 to plow the driveway so we could even stay there. I texted him after the trip to see if he would reimburse us for the plow and he wouldn’t refund me for the full amount. I’ve never left a bad review before, but was so disappointed in this stay I thought others should be warned.

Good and bad
First the good - the home had an amazing view and the owner was responsive. It was large enough for all of us and had everything we needed. The bad - 1) the heater didnt work the first night and we were inside in our winter coats, socks, etc. The owner noticed the heat wasnt getting to temperature and helped us fixed it. (he was helpful and responsive). However the bottom floor (there are 3) never got warm and was in the 50's the entire time. The kids down there moved to the game room and slept on the floor. 2) they did not clear the entry!! there were 2 walkways to the front of the house and both had 1 foot thick of ice. How do we pay that much for a home that isn't safe to enter? My 70 year old mom and 17 year old niece both had a hard fall and we were all slipping around. there is no other access so no way around it. We tried to break it up but it was solid. It made loading, unloading, and walking our dogs very challenging.

Great View and excellent communication
We came with a group of friends to celebrate the new year. The house we rented is located in a place with a beautiful view. The house is clean and has enough parking for 4 large cars, the other cars we could park in the free car parking 3 miles from the cottage. We had a good time and if I could I would give the owner and manager 6 stars, excellent communication:) they both were very easy to reach during and after our stay.

Beautiful View
Beautiful home and the most amazing view of the lake and mountains. House was huge and the theater was a plus! Only issue we had was missing legs on the pull out bed in theater and the refrigerator truely does not stay cold. Yes there is a note on the refrigerator explaining to keep the door closed as much as possible but when you have 15 people in one house it’s pretty much impossible to keep it closed. But will these issues keep us from coming back? Oh heck no. We had an amazing 3 day weekend and didn’t worry about the small stuff. The hot tub was great and the pool table kept everyone entertained. Travis truely is a nice guy and has a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing your home with us and we hope to be back for next year’s family vacation. 😊

Incredible views
This house was perfect for our group. It was large enough to accommodate us with no problem. The place had all the essential items and was clean. The views were next level. Hands down best views from any property we’ve stayed at in big bear to date. The only downside was limited parking. Overall great experience!

Would stay here again
First off, the view is worth it alone. No matter what the season its bound to be gorgeous. Secondly, Travis was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the weekend. I texted him multiple times and he was always responsive and able to help. Thirdly, the house is just amazing for both small and big groups. It had tons of space and activities for everyone to entertain themselves. Just wish we had more time. As other people mentioned, the driveway is a little tight, but we were able to fit four medium sized cars (two sedans and two hatchbacks) without much inconvenience. The neighbor was also very friendly and helped us in. There is a dishwasher which was super handy when cleaning up and plenty of trash bags/cleaning supplies which made it easy when leaving. The top floor does get a little warm but the bottom two floors were nice and cool so you could escape if needed. Overall everyone was just amazed by the house and everything we had at our disposal for entertainment. Again, just wish we had a week here. Thanks Travis!

Perfect 'Get Away' Place
This is a very nice place for a group or family. Owner/Host is nice and cooperative. PLENTY of books, movies, & games. Dog run on property is a good addition. Everything in the house works and place is clean. Close to town, lake, & grocery/drug stores. Good place to stay on weekend while town is crowded - go into 'movie room' and watch movies or listen to a concert instead. Go to lake during week and rent a boat. Nice neighborhood to take a walk. You'll like this place!

Family weekend getaway
Used Vrbo app to rent home no issues, multiple emails sent regarding upcoming stay, info to know, etc. Owner communication was good, responded within a 24 hour period. He even called to update us on the areas new crack down on various issues(parking in the street, loud parties, etc) this helped avoid any citations we possibly could have gotten. The home it self if I had to give it an overall wow factor rating 7 out of 10. Great location close to everything. Slept my mixed party of 18(10 adults, 3 teenagers, and 5 children under 10) well. Lots of space, didn't have to worry about people being on top of each other. 2 washer and dryer sets. Bathrooms on every level, spa inside the home, work out station and treadmill had expected useage wear but worked as long as you know how to utilize them. Movie room is a great place to hang out, has a shuffle board as well, couches in there turn into beds, just be ready to bring blankets because it's probably the coldest room in the house. Kitchen provides various small appliances, dishware, large fridge, microwave, double wall oven, gas cooktop. Dinning area had plenty of space and the provided extra folding chairs helped seat almost every one at the table to eat. Parking truly will only hold 3 car, the only way you'll fit 4 is if you all drive mini cooper's or other compact car. We had 2 Audi 4 door sedans and one Dodge Durango space was tight but we fit without being in the street. No yard to play on so plan to find an area if you are looking to play in the snow. Then finally the view from the top level is priceless. Great photo spot. Now why the house isn't a 10 out of 10. The home was built in 1983 and many of the homes items don't look like they have been updated so prepare for that. One shower head drips, one shower caused leaking to level below, pool tables pockets are falling apart, one even allows balls to fall thru. Some windows and sliding doors are hard to open. The fridge smells like fish and overall kitchen cleanliness is questionable, felt like cleaner skipped cleaning that area. Went to use the BBQ and it was dirty even had a dirty plate inside. For the price paid for the weekend one would expect not to have to deal with these type of issues but for what the home is we enjoyed the weekend regardless. Would I go back yes. Just hopefully those issues are addressed and corrected before then.

From the time we arrived we fell in love with this place. We had a minor issue with the water heater however Travis responded to the issue and quickly fixed the problem. Thank you Travis. We really enjoyed our stay in your home. Great movie room, we all watched the superbowl with great sound. We will be returning in the near future. We took the time to make sure the place was cleaned before we left but if there was something we overlooked please let me know. Thanks again, Gus

Amazing review, terrible property and terrible property managers
First thing about this property was that we showed up and the water was not on so we had to reach out and have them turn it on. Once we got there the we found out fridge does not work, the freezer was warmer than a normal fridge would. It didn’t produce any ice, all our food went bad and our birthday cakes we bought causing us to have to buy more food and coolers and ice since the owner couldn’t get anyone to fix it and wouldn’t believe us. We had to spend a significant amount of money on coolers and ice which was extremely frustrating considering how much money we spent per night on this property. On our second night at midnight all the water shut off and we called the owner and left voicemails and texted multiple times to have it turned on and he didn’t reach back out till 8 am to turn it on. Then let’s move onto the bedding situation, the two beds in the movie theater room were off balance, wobbly and unstable. one was missing a leg and the other was missing two legs. The bathrooms on the bottom floor were not clean when we arrived and trash and empty cases of beer were left on the patio downstairs. The owner had previously stressed that we need to clean up after ourselves and take all trash to a dump site however provided no cleaning supplies or trash bags or more than 1 roll of toilet paper roll per bathroom... all of which caused us to spend even more money on basic amenities. The pully system on the gym equipment didn’t work either so both machines were already broken and unusable. The hot tub had a ton of black dirt all around the bottom. We had asked the owner prior to arrival about previous reviews of the house and hot tub being dirty but he reassured it would be thoroughly cleaned and intact. However, it was not at all and previous reviews had proven to be very accurate without any improvement. The patio boards were all loose and coming up and if you are sitting on the bottom deck it sounds like the top deck will fall over you just from people walking on it. The communication from the owner was extremely rude and he wouldn’t believe anything that was said to him and would make up excuses instead of fixing the issue at hand. I highly recommend you do not stay here unless you want awful service and no basic amenities.

If you go to Big Bear you gotta stay here. There is so much to do that you don't really have to go anywhere. My grandkids enjoyed the pool table and jacuzzi and it is so large that no one felt like they were on top of each other. Will definitely go back. Travis is a gem to work with and answered any concerns immediately.
