The property is clean and has a wonderful porch. It is an easy drive or nice long walk to town. We enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Mountain House!!

Our family has been visiting Highlands for many years and this lovely house is now our favorite. It's spacious, ridiculously well supplied, and so comfortable. Everything from beds, linens, kitchen equipment, dishes, glassware, cookware, are all top-notch! We were 3 generations, including a couple of in-laws. We had such a good time. We cooked, ate, shopped, hiked, played board games, watched football and enjoyed the gorgeous Fall colors. Ben was the perfect host and couldn't have been kinder to us. We'll definitely plan our return to Highlands and hope to stay in his beautiful Big Bear Pen Mountain house again.

Garage apartment/fourth bedroom needs work

The fourth bedroom is in the garage apartment without central ac. It has an ac unit you plug into the wall and it vents outside. When we arrived the vent was blowing extremely hot air into the garage apartment. Once we figured out how to reconnect the vent hose, it took over 30 hours to cool the garage apartment for someone to use the fourth bedroom. The garage apartment bathroom does not have any ac, so it makes it extremely warm as well. There were also several dirty dishes in the cabinets and no dishwashing detergent when we arrived.
