We were not made aware that there was public access to the right side of the property that also accessed the cabins to the immediate left with the pool right next door. A lot of cars coming and going throughout the day. No firewood for the fireplace, missing tiles in the bathroom, stove control switch for the front left burner is on backwards for high and low. Beds were okay but too high off the ground, dirty pillow in the closet of the front bedroom. Uneven floors and transition strips for many different types of flooring, needs to all be redone. No cushions for the outdoor seating, 1 broken aderondak chair that should be thrown away, 1 table outdoors has broken corners on the granite tile top. Deck needs repair with raised nails and screws, spider webs and ant problems on the left side of the deck.

Thank you for your detailed review and for bringing these issues to our attention. We appreciate your honesty, as it helps us identify exactly where we need to make improvements. We sincerely apologize for the lack of notice regarding the nearby public access and neighborhood traffic, as well as the maintenance and cleanliness oversights you experienced during your stay. Missing firewood, damaged outdoor furniture, bathroom tile issues, and a dirty pillow fall short of the standards we strive to maintain. We are addressing the cleanliness concern with our housecleaning team and have scheduled our maintenance crew to repair the deck, address the flooring transitions, fix the stove control, and evaluate the outdoor furniture. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future and provide you with a much seamless and updated experience.

This is a great place to stay for a convenient lake get away. There is a great view of the lake from the balcony. There is a dock right there where my husband fished from and where we launched our kayak. Be aware that a lake permit is required for all watercraft...boats, kayaks, paddle boards,etc.

this is a really nice rental. i gave it only 4 stars because the third bedroom and the pool table area were derached from the rest of the house and a little difficult to access. the hot tub was great, the view was fabulous. a little too much snow for our liking, but that's more of a complaint for god. this would be the ideal summer rental.

Great view and location

Would definitely stay here again. View from the deck is beautiful and so serene. There were piss-ants in the bathroom, but this is obviously an on-going problem as they provided ant traps and Raid to use which helped a lot. Carpeting in the bedrooms is very worn, but this a cabin, not a luxury resort so understandable. Downstairs/basement bedroom a little isolated with only access from the outside, but adequate for my older (17 year olds).

the house looked totally different in the pictures then in reality! Inside is only 2 baths,2 bedrooms, restroom wasn't working properly, blankets and bed smell, according to them they were clean but may it had been a long time since some one rented? Third room and restroom separated from the rest of the house! Pool table is ok, but it was very dusty, we asked for a broom because it was dirty!

Spacious house and great location.

Pros: big spacious house. Nice location right on the lake. Less than 5 mins from the village. Pool table for entertainment. Outdoor deck for BBQ and tables. Cons: you have to check in at the BBV office before going to the house, it's not far just inconvenient after an already long drive. No communication when I informed them of a few issues we found. House needs some TLC but perfect for animals, with the hard wood floors.

2 bedrooms are not accessible from main cabin

Overall this cabin is in a great location and is very spacious. The hot tub was great and well maintained. The drawback for us is that the space with bunk beds is detached from the main unit and the beds didn’t look like they had clean bedding. There was also a leak in the bathroom that could not be repaired while we were there. I would not book again for my family but it would work great for multiple families or friends traveling together so that there could be some separation.

I’m disappointed-walked in and carpet in bedroom was soaking wet. Called property manager and they said they would send maintenance - no one came. Called again next day and maintenance said washing machine was leaking, broken and needed to be replaced. So…wet carpet, no washing machine, no apologies. Showers walls were cracked/under repair, backyard was a jungle and trash was left from previous visitor. I could go on, but in one word - disappointed.

Not worth the money, the patio and stairs to bedroom were icy and pile of snow

The patio and stairs to basement bedroom were pile of snow, they didn’t shovel the snow on patio, there was big pile os snow in patio and on the furniture in patio. We couldn’t use and utilize the patio! The most important, the stairs were not shoveled, frozen icy, very unsafe!! It caused us slipped several times. Thankfully not serious incident happened, then it would have been a problem on the owner. The information about property on website was not accurate. The furniture and appliance were old and outdated. Cleaning of the house was not great. The cleaning fee is very high and still we have do the trash. The host fee is over price.

Great view, terrible everything else

After looking at dozens of places we decided to rent this home for a brief 3 day trip due to the view, personal hot tub, and ample space. The view did not disappoint but everything else did. First, I had to fill out the paperwork 3 times as the company Big Bear Resorts kept losing the information I sent. not that big a deal but annoying, then upon checking in we found the following issues: 1 - Hot tub didn't work - we called and they said they would send someone right over but they never did and refused to call me back. This house cost about $500 extra due to the hot tub but when its broken they certainly don't refund any of the money. 2 - Oven didn't work - We had planned to cook every meal in the house but this meant we then had to go out to dinner (more added costs and annoyances) 3 - No batteries in remotes - this is not just an annoyance as I can walk to the tv, but the fans would not work without the remote batteries so they were out of order too 4 - Ants everywhere in the bathroom. Massive ant infestation 5 - Kitchen not stocked - Literally they had 1 spoon in the entire house 6 - Can't get to the downstairs rooms without going outside, this was not clear but if you are going in winter don't plan on using the downstairs 7 - heater broken and would not get hotter than 64 degrees I could go on and on but there are way way cheaper places that I am sure don't have these issues. Stay away from this place and most importantly from the rental company.

Don't let past reviews scare you away from this gem!

When I read the previous reviews I was pretty nervous to take a leap of faith and rent this unit - but I am SOOOOO glad that I did. AWESOME layout for families, stunning view, and great location close to town. The unit was very clean, the bedding was FAR better quality that I expected, and the pool table provided us lots of hours of family fund whilst scream-singing along to 80's rock (our poor neighbors). Let's be honest - a LOT of the older mountain town rentals are waaaaaaay too dated and a bit run down. This rental simply felt like a home. We will absolutely rent again and again.
