Timberline Lodge by Destination Big Bear : Backs to the National Forest! Close to Bear Mtn! Pool Table! Hot Tub!

The Good:- The location was perfect. Less than 10 minute drive to town and the lake. Beautifully backed up to the forest and neighbors are quiet. The hiking trail behind the house does see a lot of people but they didn't bother us much.- Hot tub was large, clean, and great for relaxing, and out of sight of neighbors.- Easy check in and out.- Spacious home and 4 bedrooms.The Not so Good:- No AC, which we did not not see that in the description of the home. A little warm during the day (we stayed in June) and only one fan was provided.- All the furniture in the home was not very comfortable. The chairs will hurt your back! The beds were also not the greatest.- Outdoor furniture was either extremely dirty, ripped up from squirrels, or broken.- The spare bedroom upstairs balcony (the smaller balcony) was very sketchy! The boards were loose, the railing was falling apart. Do not lean on railing at all!All in all, it wasn't bad, especially for the price, but could use some love and attention.

I stayed at this property for two nights with friends and family. The back of the cabin stares right into the forest. It was a lovely scenery and couple of deer even came around the first day of our stay. There is hiking trail that begins at the edge of the property. The people didn't bug us one bit but if you're looking for total isolation this might not be the spot for you. We grilled, played pool, used the hot tub, and went for a short walk on the aforementioned trail while we stay here. Great experience overall and I look foward to my next stay.

Spa did not work, only able to use 1 pool stick all the rest had no tips, master TV did not work, master toilet leaked, light above kitchen table did not work had to get a light bulb, when it was time to shower the water came out brown. Vacuums didn't work, mop was broken.Very low maintenance cabin. Needs to be kept up. Will not return I was very disappointed ?

Loved staying here. Our family celebrated my brother's 30th birthday. The check in process eas easy and the location was right next to a hiking trail

We appreciate the hospitality and how clean and spacious the home was. So close to everything and easily accessible to the lake, and snow:-)

It was such a cute house, wish it had more kitchen supplies like a bigger frying pan and some sort of baking sheets or cassrole dish and maybe foil. Super beautiful location, nice decor, it was really easy to ask for more dish soap from owners, and we all loved our stay.

We stayed at this house for a spring skiing weekend. 5 adults and 5 kids under 10 had plenty of room to sleep and we enjoyed our visit. The house is right at a trailhead and you can hike right out of the back yard. Also very close to Bear Mountain. However the dishwasher was very dirty and as a result many dishes in the cupboards had dried food on them, so we had to hand wash all our dishes. Also kitchen supplies are very limited or damaged. Bring everything you need if you plan on cooking, even salt and pepper.

Great property with beautiful views out the back of the national park. This property was great for my kids and their friends who looked to relax after a long day on the slopes!

It lacked on the cleaning! But overall we all loved it especially it being the last house where the backyard is to the forest and walking trails also loved that it had a all around porch where we can sit outside we all loved it so hopefully we get to go back. :)

We were 5 adults and two kids. Easy access to hiking. Great hot tub. Enough rooms for everyone. Bring kitchen staples like oils and spices. Freezer doesn't really work but it was mentioned in previous reviews so we were prepared. Everything else was great. We had a wonderful time. Will consider this place for another trip
