Plenty of space, and the beds were very comfortable. Enough space to spread out, and stuff to do at the house. Good location to go the Mackinac island, the UP, and we went to torch lake. Definitely keep it in mind for next years trip.

Fantastic!

We had a wonderful time with our stay at Big Bear Lake. The house is fantastic and fit our group of 11 wonderfully! Lots of room to gather and connect. We rented a pontoon for a day. The neighbors were also very friendly and kind. We would highly recommend this rental!

We had 5 kids ages (almost) 3-16 and 6 adults stay in the house. It's so very spacious! We never felt on top of each other. During down time the kids hung out int the game room and adults occupied the dining room playing cards. The bunk room allowed for all kids to have their own bed, which was perfect. Very very short walk to the lake which was great for the kids to play in for hours on end. We all tried out kyaking and paddle boarding with the provided equipment. The front porch with the picnic table provided plenty of extra space for dinner. It was a great place to all hang out and chill for a few days. We would definitely consider this same place for future trips.

A wonderful experience

My husband and I, our adult son and daughter with two grandsons (5 and 8) had a great time staying at this house. We had plenty of room to be together or separate in this beautiful house. In the back of the house is a very nice game room with a pool table, tv, games, and another refrigerator which came in very handy. We had wanted to rent a house with a walk out to the beach; however, the beach was very close and the boys had a lot of fun there. The owners thought of so many little things to make anyone's stay pleasant. There is a nice porch in the front and another porch in the back with a fire pit below. We would recommend this house to anyone looking for a place to stay with 6-12 people.

Perfect Fit

The house was spacious and adequate for 3 families of 11 people. The pool table was perfect; it became the central gathering spot. We were grateful to find the kayak and paddle board in the garage. They were a good compliment to the water craft we brought. (Had we known they would be available, we might have changed what we brought.) (Both seats in the kayak are badly torn and need to be replaced.) The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals for our crew. (The kitchen knives are so dull, using them was almost dangerous.) We were thankful to find fishing gear in the garage, and caught a fish! We could have used one more kitchen trash bag, and one more dishwasher pod. Thank you for opening your home, we had a delightful time and fell in love with MI.

Great for a family Thanksgiving with kids!

5 stars but a few unexpected surprises. We stayed at he Big Bear house for Thanksgiving where my brother and his kids joined us. 5 adults, 4 kids (all under 12), and plenty of room for all. Highlights included: comfortable beds, VERY clean, and the game room was a big hit! The layout allows for everyone to gather together comfortably or have two separate groups in each living area—-wonderful when adults want to relax and kids want to have a dance off. There has clearly been recent renovations, the woodwork is beautiful and the new carpet is so comfy! The jitchen and appliances are dated but we were able to make dinner every night without a problem (aside from me burning a Brussels sprout and setting off the smoke detector). Also, the property contact, Gina, was INCREDIBLE. She went above and beyond answering questions and recommended a great nearby park for the kids to play at. The unexpected surprise, which is more a reflection on my lack of thorough research than the property is that it is SO close to neighbors. This is not the place for a “getaway into the woods” as this is definitely a vacation subdivision. It’s beautiful but that take a walk in the woods just isn’t possible. Still would recommend as the home is GREAT and I imagine even better in the summer as it’s a very short walk to lake access!

More beautiful than the pictures

We stayed at this property in July and we had adults and children (2 and 4 years). Pros: The pictures on the listing are nice but the property is even more beautiful in person! Plenty of parking for our group (4 spots). The porch has a fan to keep air circulating, lots off porch seating plus outdoor chairs, large fire pit on side of the house, large dumpster provided. There are outdoor toys and grill provided. Inside there's lots of sleeping space and rooms provide lots of room for luggage. Kitchen is fully equipped (blender, toaster, coffee maker, baking items, utensils, plates, glasses, etc). We cooked almost all of our meals here during our stay. Lots of fridge/freezer space thanks to the extra fridge in the game room. Game room was fun with the billiard table and dart board. The house was extremely clean! Very impressed. Air conditioned and box fans provided. About a 3 minute walk to the beach and about 8 minute drive to public boat launch. The hosts were very responsive when we had a question before and during our stay. We visited Gaylord (25 minute drive) and Mackinac Island (1 hour 15 min drive) while here. Big Bear Trading Post is a 5 minute drive and had delicious pizza! Cons: Due to the recent rise in water levels, there is a small beach. Each time we went out to the beach we raked the beach to have a spot to sit in the sand. Overall, I would definitely recommend!
