Bel Air of Big Bear - Fun + Tech + 5BR + Massive Cabin - Large Capacity ! ! !

Great stay

When I first came across this property, it seemed too good to be true. Everything was perfect and it was well represented by the pictures. Our host was very gracious, checking in on us after we arrived and promptly responding to messages. The property is well stocked with all the essentials from a good variety of kitchen items, plenty of games and activities, down to make up towels in the bathrooms and luxurious bath bombs in the master. In addition, things are very well labelled and instructions for operation are all over making it very easy to follow and enjoy our stay. The host has definitely thought of everything. Very high tech - which did cause us a little trouble (google apparently doesn't love my diction/accent) but that was a minor glitch. The property is not far from town and we were able to enjoy fun places like Big Bear Mountain Brewery while there. It was a week of friends, fun, -laughter, nature, peace and relaxation. Highly recommend.

This place was awesome and literally had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. 7 of us stayed here for the weekend on a long golf trip and we'll definitely be back. Everything you could need is already here, and instructions are clearly marked everywhere. Great communication from a great host, and plenty to do inside if you get caught in bad weather.

I'd like to start by saying this home is lovely and in a beautiful location. Future guests should be aware of certain things that were not apparent in the booking process as well as some shortcomings with the property. *Be aware that there is a per guest additional fee above a certain number, I believe in this case it is 4. We were a group of 13 and the house openly states it sleeps 15. This additional fee seemed excessive and unnecessary, especially given the cost of the nightly rate. Apparently it is stated in the extra fees as you book- just read carefully. I was told by the owner this is common VRBO practice; as an owner of a home that rents via VRBO, this is not common practice; especially with a home this size and at this price point.*The owner is very strict about check-in and check out times. This is an understandable condition, however we waited in the driveway for 25 minutes as the cleaning crew was there on arrival. When asked if we would be granted the same courtesy on check-out without a fine, it was stated that it would be done w/the expectation that we did not trash the house like the previous guests. I had received messages through the VRBO app as to what the house looked like from the previous guests which was unwarranted. *If you go in the summer, be aware that there is NO A/C! The horseshoe game was broken (rod not secured in the ground) and darts were broken. Owner attempted to get darts but didn’t make it in time; overall disappointed in this stay.

Had a great time at this cabin. Plenty of activities to do and the manager was very helpful. Will definitely consider coming here again.
