DOWNTIME: 4BR/3BA Lake Retreat w/ Sports Court, Near Snow and Lake Adventures

Host and amenities, the house was amazing

We stayed at this cabin in early January, and it was a wonderful experience overall. The home is very spacious, cozy, and clean, and the photos truly don’t do it justice. We chose this spot to celebrate both my birthday and my dog’s 14th birthday, and it ended up being a very special trip for us.We did run into a couple of small snags during our stay, but Frank was an excellent host and addressed everything promptly and professionally, which we really appreciated. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were well maintained, and the yard was huge- perfect for families traveling with dogs.One suggestion for the host would be to provide a guest manual in the home, as that would make navigating the space and amenities even easier for future guests.Overall, I’m very grateful for the time we spent here. It was especially meaningful, as it turned out to be my dog’s last vacation with us before he passed. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway for you and your family (pups included), I would highly recommend staying at this home.

Kitchen fully equipped. Bathrooms and bedrooms clean. Basketball court in perfect condition. Older home but well kept. Smart TVs. Our family definitely enjoyed our stay.

The entire house was fully equipped with cooking utensils, spices, sugar, coffee, filters, trash bags, toilet paper, extra blankets and bedding. Full washer/dryer hook up. Both inside and outside fireplace, and a gas grill.

Great experience, easy check in and check out. Host was very responsive and accommodating.

house was good a little worn, but comfortable overall

Came to Big bear to do some four wheeling and this house was perfect for our 3 couple group.

The pictures don't do justice to the size of this property. It's easily able to sleep multiple couples with ensuite bathrooms. And then two extra rooms for kids or other adults. Originally there were to be four adults but one had to cancel at the last minute. The downstairs bathroom was awesome for my handicap sister. The stairs are quite a workout, but worth the trip upstairs. The decor is quite eclectic. Almost like somebody gathered stuff when they went traveling throughout Europe. The host had put up a lovely Christmas tree. For my birthday we invited our whole family over and the great open space was perfect for nine additional guests. It was also awesome to have a fenced in yard to be able to let our dog out to go to the bathroom. We received the wrong check-in code, but the cleaner was standing by and let us in immediately. She asked us to let her know if we needed anything. It's obvious that the owner is continuing to improve the space. Check in in case you need to bring washcloths, dishcloths, dish towels. We cooked multiple meals and it was perfect including deviled eggs and baking cornbread. Both of the master suite beds were very comfy.

Overall, we had a great stay and the communication was quick!

Had a wonderful long weekend here with our family of 6. Very spacious, great shower pressure, comfortable beds, quiet area, and great big backyard. Definitely a great place to stay.
