Knotty and Nice Big Bear- Hot Tub- Lakeside Log Cabin

On the plus side beautiful property and neighborhood. Older place so furniture and beds/pillows etc are a bit dated. This property was managed by Big Bear Vacations, which was a little different than our pervious VRBO rentals. They will make you fill out their own significant rental agreement. Just wasn't something we were used to. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Furnace wasn't working when we got there, but they were responsive and brought us space heaters and some kindled for the wood stove. Got the furnace fixed the next day. Only complaint was the lack of communication as to when someone would come and when they got it completed. Only 1/2 the hottub jets are working, and the disposal leaked below kitchen sink when it was running. Let them know about it so that should be fixed soon. Read the fine print in the rental contract. They make you haul all your own trash to a trash site and will charge you $25 per bag of trash left behind, and $25 of you leave them a sink full of dirty dishes. Makes one wonder what the all the cleaning fee is for. Other than these few things, we liked this place and the location.

Lots of ants, everywhere. Great location. Won't be staying here again though, very small feeling place

Cozy cabin. Felt very relaxed. Amazed with the amount of pans and pots they had. They had what was needed to cook with. Make sure you bring your own spices though. Everything was a short drive and the walk to the lake was nice.

The property location was very good but the outside areas were not clean I have to cleaned it myself just my granddaughter could play and inside a lot of dust ones I cleaned everything was good and my family and I enjoyed it!

not what was advertised

This was such a cute cabin and we enjoyed our stay. Although the hot tub was not working we were compensated and had a wonderful time. The interaction at check in was pleasant and welcoming. Thank you for the stay. Had a wonderful 50th with my family in Big Bear at Knotty & Nice!

Upon checking the place smelled like cigarette smoke. The hot tub was broken called the property managment company at first was told they would send someone called back 2 hours later they said oh yeah that hot tub is broken nothing we can do. finally told at 9pm the manager had gone home and they would switch properties for me the next day. There were 3 in my party the place they switched me to next day was clean and hot tub worked but no propane for the grill. It also was a massive 5 bed 5 bathroom strange compound style house. We had a nice weekend filled with activities but I can not recommend this place at all. Kind of sad because had the cabin been maintained correctly would have been a lovely place.

We will definitely be back. Beautiful scenery, cozy interior, hot tub was amazing…and close to town. Nothing but positives to say.

The property we rented turned out to be beautiful on the outside, but a nightmare on the inside. I had 15 bees in the master bedroom when I woke up. And the inside was not cleaned prior to us coming due to dead bugs and dust. We had to drive back to the rental company, and once there the crew was accommodating and gave us a different rental. We did appreciate the new cabin, just a bummer that we lost a day of waiting packing up and then repacking etc.

Cabin was cute. Little smaller than expected in the living room area but bedrooms were nice and beds were comfortable. Kitchen lacked a can opener which made cooking some of our food difficult. The air vent above the staircase needs to be cleaned but other than that our stay was comfortable and relaxing. Thank you
