Lakefront Big Bear Cabin Access To Lake Pets Welcome

Extremely disappointing for the price paid… as soon as you walk in it REEKS OF Cigarette SMOKE. No hot water you will stand there for minutes freezing wondering if this will ever warm up.. it doesn’t … you get spider webs around every turn, not joking from ceiling to walls to in between bedframes… cabin is falling apart … there have been some renovations but over all this place is a liability for injury… thankful we were ok.. It was COLD ! , you can literally see through the cabin walls due to deteriorating wood smh … Lost power for a couple mins on day 2 ..heater is extremely loud good luck sleeping.. checked the closets and found dirty sheets from previous stays.. that room smelled nice! The best part about the cabin was that we did not get bitten by a brown recluse or freeze to death.. location was extremely convenient but that’s about the only thing this place had going for it.. not worth the money find a another property …

Close to everything. Walk to the lake. All rooms were clean. The entrance landscape needs some repairs we had to waltch our step stepping on the stones

Great location! Our group really enjoyed our stay. The views from the decks were awesome. Grilling and hot tubing while looking at the lake were great. When we had an issue with the hot water, host was quick to respond. Great location near shuttle stop to Oktoberfest!

Perfect for our family reunion.

Almost everything was very good, except for the fact that you have to leave clean, that there were only two rolls of toilet paper, for 9 people, and we didn't have water in a shower, I sent a message to the host and he never answered (answer before you arrive but already being there, they don't answer messages or the phone)

Unfortunately, our stay was impacted by numerous unresolved maintenance issues. Several essential amenities were not functioning, including a second shower, a washing machine that only worked on one setting, and a front door handle that raised security concerns. There was also a significant water leak in one of the bedrooms, resulting in water on the floor, along with multiple other maintenance problems throughout the property. Although these issues were reported to the owner and assurances were given that they would be fixed, no repairs were made during our stay, which significantly affected our experience.

The cabin is very inviting! We all enjoyed ourselves

Proximity to lake and marina very good.Nice kitchen. (No scissors!)Nice fireplace. Comfortable beds . Good sized bedrooms.

The cabin was perfect, 10 out of 10, it was very cute, great water pressure, very clean. The only problem was finding the address. It didn't help that we got there 4 hours after our check in time. We drove up at night. All in all we had a great time. Highly recommend this cabin.

We came to celebrate my twins birthday with family. The size was great for 9 of us and a dog. So clean, equipped with towels, dishes everything you need for family stay. Close to the water loved the view from the rooms and living area.

The photos must have been taken a LONG time ago there was water damage in every room holes in the walls that go the outside of the home(can literally see the sun shining through the holes), HUGE safety issue as 3 out 4 sliders do not lock, 1 slider has no handle on it and they have a bench in front of it (not going to stop a person or bear from coming in) it looked like mod on the walls near water damage, the carpets were dirty had an animals hair in the living room and we didn’t even want to walk around without shoes, cobwebs everywhere, patios were dirty, the boat slip was beat up so many broken boards, we open the spa and it was full of ants in one corner, the owner never responded unless it was about money, I messaged a few times asking about if the TVs were smart TVs so we knew if we could do a presentation on it or not and no answer, I asked if the house was available on Thursday and instead of responding and allowing me to ask follow up questions they just added the night without my approval ( we didn’t use the extra night and still tried to charge me because they assumed we were taking it without discussing it with me. I don’t recommend this place at all. If we had another place I would asked for a refund. It seems they could care less about the house or the people who stay there.

Nice cabin. Good layout. Great location.

The cabin was great. The rooms were roomy. We loved the pool table, the kitchen and the loft. No major issues. We enjoyed the barbecue and decks, as well as the wildlife. The Jacuzzi was a little bit smelly. The only other issue was the corner of the lake was a little grimy in the water, but overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Great lakeside location. We would definitely repeat a stay here. Kitchen was large with plenty of pots/ pans/ utensils. No basic spices or cooking items but I asked the host ahead of time so we weren’t missing anything since we cooked all of our meals at the house. Gas stove was a bit difficult to start for baking / oven but did eventually work. Grill is charcoal, which is nice to know for planning. Upstairs bathroom was nicely updated. Only concerns: some of the wood in the decks is pretty rotten and could use some replacement as there are some boards that are entirely rotten/ dangerous. A couple of the chairs at the kitchen bar were wobbly and there were only 6 dining chairs in a home that fits more guests so we had to do some musical chairs for meals. Beds downstairs in the singles room are extremely uncomfortable/ old spring mattresses with obvious indentations even without laying on them. All of our guests that stayed in that room complained about the beds.

The place was easy to find and easy to gain access. I was there with my three kids and we loved the coziness of the cabin and used the spa which was out on the deck everyday. The slider to the upstairs porch didn't have a latch but was not an issue. I let the owner know but never heard back.I would recommend bringing salt/pepper and any other cooking stuff and condiments you might need. We stay at rental places often and i should know better... There was nothing in the cabin when we arrived.The only thing that would have made the trip better was if I had heard back from the property manager- i reached out several times and never heard back. With that said- I would go back! Super charming little spot.

Nice cabin. Comfy beds, clean, walking distance to the Halloway marina. Small but cozy for our family of 10. Holes in the walls to the outside im the 1st floor bedroom made for a chilly night, but bedding was warm. There is a dock, but the water disnt come up to it. Appropriate ammount of cookware and dishes

Great location, big house for big family dog, kid friendly, lake access at Holloways Marina very close. Would love to rent this house again.

We enjoyed the location and being on the lake, but there were a few things not great about our stay. The house was a bit outdated, beds were really uncomfortable, one of our friends ended up having to sleep on the couch because his back was hurting after the first night. The kitchen lacked basic supplies, no salt, pepper or cooking oil. Only one burner on the stove top would ignite, and the oven rack didn't work so looks like someone put a pot to hold it up. We couldn't find a hair dryer and there was no soap in the showers. The loft light and fan would not turn on. Lastly the spa jets didn't seem to work or very minimal pressure. For the price we paid, it was disappointing to not have the basic amenities. Perhaps most disappointing was the owner’s response when I provided this feedback. She was very dismissive and basically said they are not a hotel and did not address anything regarding the stove, lights, fan and jacuzzi not functioning properly. While a great location definitely not worth the money they are charging and not very accommodating.

There are a lot of other properties available. Save yourself the headache and book elsewhere. The king bedroom had an awful smell most likely from water leaking from the roof. The rug was soaked and basically this room was off limits.

Fishing fun with family perfect stay

My family and I really enjoyed this property and will definitely book it again in the future.

We spent our Christmas week in the cabin with some family. Great experience. Issues that other guests have had are fixed already or fixable with common sense. For instance, the downstairs bedroom with the queen bed is coldest, keep the door open. It took us one night to figure that out. Check the vents to make sure they’re open. Loft is the warmest (duh, hot air rises). Kitchen had almost everything you need, but no spices but so what, not a big deal to grab in town, try out grocery outlet! They have everything! Upstairs bathroom had some issues with warmth, but it wasn’t cold. Just wasn’t super hot. I’m always freezing but I managed to use this shower for our entire 5 day stay. Downstairs shower has hotter water so if you like that better, go use that one. Some spider webs, but never saw a spider. It’s a mountain, spiders live there too. They definitely caused no issue for us. We had an issue at check in but it was resolved within 30 minutes and we were able to get into the beautiful cabin. Nice big clean fridge. The pool table was a great time. The cabin was clean and quiet, plenty of room, and worked well for our group. We had a wonderful Christmas, and can’t think of any real complaints. Perfect location for us. Close to town. Everything was clean, everything works. Loved the wrap around porch and views. Our party ranged in age from 11-67 and everyone enjoyed their time. Thank you so much!!

The trip was great!

One of the 2 showers did not work. This is tough when you have a large group. Upon telling the rental company about this, they didn't really seem to care. Multiple doors on the property did not lock. This is problematic for obvious reasons! There were open joints all throughout the cabin where you could see light coming thru. There was mold in the one of the downstairs bedrooms. There was a hornets nest in the wall. The Thermostat could not be adjusted (per checkout instructions). We ulimately enjoyed our stay. But this cabin left a lot to be desired and is in major need of being updated!

Me and my family had a great time

The cabin needs some upgrading as other reviewers have stated. The lock in the sliding glass door in the living room is non-existent so it's a good thing it's on the second floor. The jacuzzi was partially filled so we couldn't use it. We knew from the description the boat dock wasn't available but it needs serious repair if/when the water level does go back up. Word of warning, the light in the 2nd floor bathroom has a timer. It will switch off leaving one to shower in the dark. For the price I paid, it was not worth it and the $200 cleaning fee is steep considering it was not spotless. The last thing I'll mention ... bring another wine glass if there's more than one person drinking wine. They have exactly 1 but many champagne glasses. The location was quiet and the pool table was a bonus even though it's in a tight space. I would stay here again but absolutely not at this price.

Our group enjoyed our stay. The big space for games and entertainment. The pool table was enjoyed by our group. The location was ideal. Close to trash drop off and activities.

The location of the house was nice. It was just outside of town and about 2 miles from snow summit. It is in the water but the lake is still low so the water right there is not the best. The dock is not useable so don’t plane in that. You are right behind the hall away marina and they have boat slips if you need to dock your boat. The inside of the house was fantastic. The bedroom layouts are perfect and you can tell they are making upgrades as they go along. I would recommend this unit.
