Big Bear Lake Home
Couldn’t have been better (well except for the weather) The home is beautiful and was furnished with anything you could imagine. Beds were comfy and the furniture is, too. The decorations are charming and fit the home/location to a T. The views were spectacular over the lake and beach. We didn’t want to leave today, but someone else has it reserved. Stay here! There is plenty of space. We only had 4 ppl, but could comfortably sleep 10-12 adults. We brought a boat to go fishing and explore the lake, but never used it. It was way windy and rained one day. We will definitely tell our friends and family about your beautiful Jewel on Big Bear Lake in Johannesburg 😊♥️

Had a nice and relaxing stay
We had a nice time staying at the house. We happened to reach bit late than we planned and the house number was not visible in the dark that made a little difficult to find it. Except that everything went well and we enjoyed the time.
