Price was great they allowed our pets out stay was fine we enjoyed being right at the village.Only down side was internet was Down due to winter storm the prior week and power went out the morning we were checking out but it was an issue for the entire block not just this location. Over all a great stay for the price.
We had everything we needed for our time in Big Bear. The kitchen had what we needed to prepare meals and plenty of space for drying ski clothes and relaxing.
This place was in a great location central to all of the July 4th activities; however, it was a bit more dated and bare than we had initially anticipated from the photos. You pay for the location rather than the amenities.

Clean, specious for 2 people. Nice kitchen, fully equipped. One thing I didn't like; the bathroom sink was not in the bathroom, but in the bedroom. Also, it was a little hot in the room.
We loved the location, the property and ease of checking in and out!

Front desk person outstanding, room SUPER clean. Txt morning reminders very helpful including your rm is ready early. I will most definitely stay here again😀
This was our first time in Big Bear and this rental was perfect for us! The location is killer, right in the little downtown area and next to great restaurants and bars and coffee shops. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go from the apartment. We stayed with our dog, and the process to book was super quick and easy. The host was very helpful and quick to respond to any and all messages or questions we had. 10/10 would definitely book again!
