BASECAMP- Luxury and Stylish Mountain Cabin, 5bdrms, 3 Fireplaces, Hot Tub

This is by far one of our favorite properties in Big Bear. The home is remarkable, centrally located, and perfect for active groups who enjoy the outdoors and playing games. We are already planning our next trip back!

This beautiful home was perfect for our large group of 14. It was clean, spacious, well equipped with all kitchen items you need to cook your own meals, large driveway for SUVs, plus multiple areas to spread out. We walked to Snow Summit to snowboard. Close 5 minute drive to grocery stores, dining options. 10 minute drive to Bear Mountain. The pool table and hot tub were an added bonus. We hope to return. Kim, the property manager was quick to respond and very helpful. We hope to come back!

We have been coming from PHX to Big Bear for 5 years for skiing. We started at the Holiday Inn for 3 years and then we rented a condo last year.We decided to invite a few other couples and get a house.We looked at no less than 25 on VRBO and other sites as well.We came across this amazing looking house and knew it was the one.We booked it in August for a January vacation.Communication was amazing with the .As our vacation approached the owners reached out and gave us the name of the property manager that would meet us to gain access.Meet Kim, the coolest host in the world.She was on time and very communicative.Also so thorough when we arrived.She was very familiar with the property and all of the “workings” of the systems.Let me be the first to say, this house was 100% accurate in all pictures and advertisements.I was just as big as the pictures showed, no wide angle lens to embellish.The house was spotless and VERY well equipped.The kitchen was stocked with all of the utensils, plates, coffee machines and such that anyone could need.No expense was spared and it shows.Kim let us know that if there was any questions at any time to call or text her right away.From the fire places to the hot tub, from the gear room at the front door to the bar.It was appointed so well.Its right around the corner from the ticket booth.The house has everything you need.The beds were comfy.There were tons of towels. Super clean.See you next year!!!!

We loved everything about this house from the super easy and friendly check in process with Kim to the convenient location to the slopes. There was enough room for our family of 14 to sleep, play, and hang out. Extra touches likes games for all ages, plush bath towels, and handy flashlight nightlights make this house amazing. Just rent it, you will not regret it!

Second time renting this property which is great for a large family- there are two separate houses, so teens can be in a separate area without being too far away. House is literally down the block from Snow Summit, which was super convenient for lunch and rest breaks. There is ample space, comfortable beds, and well maintained furniture. Keyless entry, great backyard. We were able to have a wonderful stay to celebrate my son's bday. Great communication with host and property manager. There were a few snags that they addressed once we were gone: (kitchen sink in main house with very slow flow (replaced after our stay, but was a hassle as we had to bring pots/dishes to the other house to wash), slow drain, not enough silverware or towels for 16 people (she bought some new silverware), cleaning crew left some food crumbs in fridge, damp towels that smelled like bleach...little things but when the price is high, you also have higher standards- again, property manager told me these were all fixed once we were gone. It is a pricey place but you pay for the space and convenience of being right there for Snow Summit. Would rent again for big families. Thanks!

We were a group of 3 adult couples and 6 teens. The kids could easily get to the mountain while adults were at the house with no worries. Location is so amazing. A slightly late check in but understood as there was a group checking out before us. We would rent this place again.

This property is really great and in an amazing location. However, the experience interacting with the owner and manager was disappointing. We booked this home and indicated we had pets with us and paid a pet fee while booking. The owner never responded to my initial booking message and we had no interaction until 2 days prior to the stay when I reached out asking for check in details which we had not yet received. We met a local person at the home to check us in. We were not asked to inspect anything in the property and were given the wrong information regarding neighborhood rules apparently, as well as check out. Upon check out it was discovered that our dog had scratched and damaged the doors and blinds in the room where some people were sleeping. The host messaged me frantically regarding this and asked me to call him immediately. I called him back and he let me know about the damages and I asked for photos. He proceeded to send the photos to me, then immediately charged my card a random amount within an hour of check out. I let him know that of course we would pay for this, but we needed to receive an actual invoice of charges. He told me that he had to charge me right away, which is not true for VRBO policy, and then ended up hanging up on me during the call. During this call he stated that pets are not allowed at his home, which is not true based on the listing when we booked and the information given to us, and accused us of damaging his pool table which was in that condition when we arrived. We also were told we were supposed to check out with his property manager directly, but that was never communicated to us at check in, nor was it on the check out instructions which are printed and posted on the fridge. After the call, the host then proceeded to text me that we were unbelievable and disrespectful. We still have not received any invoices or follow up from the host regarding this. We are a group of adults and were in no way trying to damage anything in the home. The damage was from a pet and we will certainly take responsibility for this. However, the interaction and emotion coming from this host is not productive and we'd recommend he either hire professional management or stop renting out his home if he's so emotionally connected to it. If you're going to rent this home, please be aware that this host is not easy to interact with and communication is very poor across the board.

We really enjoyed our stay here and is one of my favorite vacation rentals we have stayed at.

The owner was very responsive in addressing our needs during the checking in process. Overall great vacation. Fun house.

What an unbelievable experience. Property Management, cleanliness, so much space and walking distance to the slopes! A must stay!
