    Everything was neat and clean and beautiful! We definitely want to book again next year. We usually book with Meredith but are very happy with our experience this year.The only thing I would suggest is the pool cue sticks need to be replaced or fixed. There was only one that we could use and we love to play pool!!!!

    We had a great Thanksgiving stay here with 7 adults and 8 kids. The kids loved the pool and poker tables upstairs. We cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. We really appreciated all the pans, bowls, utensils etc. that the kitchen is stocked with. We did have to go to the store for some basics, such as salt and pepper, dish towels, coffee filters, and paper towels for the week. The upstairs bedroom mattress was comfortable but the downstairs mattresses were really firm and not as comfortable (I believe the bunk beds were fine). This house is a great location, a few hundred yards to Snow Summit. The hot tub worked great. I think we used it 2-3 times during the week and never had a problem. This house has a big garage and driveway which are nice since you can't park on the street. Master bedroom has a huge shower, separate bathtub, and his/hers toilets. Very luxurious. The upstairs bathroom did not have a working lock, however. Ultimately our family had a wonderful time here!

    Very beautiful house and great walking distance to Snow Summit. It was a little older, but overall great condition. However, the jacuzzi did not work and that was a main reason for our stay here. Called Saturday morning for maintenance and they had someone there by 1PM. He said it was good to go, but when we came home, Jacuzzi was still not working. Called again to let them know and they said they needed a part to fix it and would be a couple of days before they could get it. I called Sunday the day we were leaving to ask for partial discount because of the jacuzzi, but have still not heard back. Overall nice place, but bummed about the jacuzzi.

    Four families stayed at Running Bear for a short ski weekend and the house was perfect. The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and the kids loved the treehouse.

    Awesome house. High end, tons of space. Beautiful kitchen and patio. Location was great. Quiet, close to everything this is a great rental for a large family or friend get together. We will choose this location again.

    It was not my first choice but since the one i liked was booked. Other rental offers better space and amemities with better price. Over all, it is okay. The place is relatively clean. Internet is good. The cons: It has three car garrage but there is a small boat trailer occupied parking space. Some of the TVs need to be replaced because of picture quality. The small bedroom to the right of laundry room has an odor of stagment air which can come from the mattress.

    Our 4 families had a wonderful time at this house and in Big Bear. It was well maintained, well stocked, great back yard for kids, safe street with very few others around and simply beautiful. Can't wait to book next year.

    We had a wonderful time at this Big Bear Lake home. There are two main living rooms for the children and adults to enjoy. The pool table in the loft was great fun for everyone. As the cook in the house I would say that the kitchen was very well stocked. Although I am glad that I brought my own casserole dishes. The house was very clean and well stocked with towels. We had a great time in the village and at the alpine slide park. Even though there was plenty to do around the lake the kids still wanted to be back at the house playing. The back yard is huge and beautiful. We enjoyed morning coffee and dinners on the very large back patio. Perfect place for a getaway for all ages.

    We had four families for this trip with 5 children from 10 to 4 years old. They all loved staying at the home and playing in the game room. The fact that the home had two large living spaces allow kids and adult to enjoy the night freely. Furthermore, to add to the fun and convenience, the home is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac but walking distance to snow summit. Our party had so much fun that they complained that the two night we stayed at the home was not enough. If we go back to snow summit next year, I would love to stay here again. The only thing the kids complained about was that the wifi did not work until the night we left but we did not call intentionally to prevent them from playing video game.

    What a wonderful Fall getaway. This home is beautiful and welcoming for all ages. There is so much to do. We had fires going in both beautiful fireplaces and both TV's broadcasting different games. The favorite spot for everyone actually seemed to be the back porch with a beautiful view. We enjoyed the October Fest and look forward to spending more time in the Village. Thank you for sharing your mountain retreat.
