Great location with simple necessities

This cabin is not the fanciest high end cabin in Big Bear. However, it's location and lakefront views were exactly what my partner and I were looking for to decompress and get away from the city for a few days. It has simple necessities: comfortable and clean furniture, kitchen with basic pots and pans and basic assortment of cooking tools (tongs, spatula, whisk, etc), wifi, fireplace (no gas line).

Location was amazing however our stay was far from it. The place isn’t the cleanest and has a smell. If you’re staying with multiple people keep in mind hot water runs out fast. The house also doesn’t have a heating system that we did make the host aware of. Someone came over to confirm the issue and lent us a space heater. We were told someone would contact us early next morning to fix the wall heater but no one showed. Which I also relayed to the host. Seems like they were more focused on confirming that we’d follow the exit guidelines over us being comfortable on our remaining stay.

Pics look better but location amazing

This location is so nice but it needs an update. The carpets are outdated , if you take a bath it hurts as it has that rough stuff inside. The fridge faces the wall. It just needs some TLC for price. The chairs and couch are almost breaking. We rent on this and just think that it needs some attention. Thanks but location phenom

Great Snow Getaway in Big Bear

The property was great for the time we spent there. It was plenty of room and cozy, with a wonderful view every morning of the lake. We checked-in shortly after sunset, thus the property was a little difficult to find in the dark. The company was very helpful when we called and they immediately directed us closer to the lake front where the cabin was located. Highly recommend this location, and would love to stay again soon!

Perfect for a Couple

Perfect size cabin for two people. Very comfortable, and everything you need to enjoy your stay. The road in front of the cabin was a bit muddy (we visited mid-March) and the roads leading to the cabin were pretty broken/damaged, but we didn't get stuck, so that's good. The heater in the main room and the little heater in the bedroom are enough to keep the cabin cozy, and the view is spectacular! Loved waking up to that lake. Highly recommend!

6/10 Okay

comfortable and clean, slightly dated, poorly equipped kitchen, internet broken

kitchen had only extremely minimal items; as little as $100 spent on utensils, cups, glasses, plates and bowls at Target would make a fantastic upgrade. Internet didn't work during our entire stay despite a maintenance request; request to provide partial refund for lack of internet was not even honored with a reply. Cabin was comfortable, clean and warm. Stunning view.
