Big house but filthy
Pros:The place was ring and spacious. It could have easily fit 14 people comfortably. Cons: when we got to the house, we had no way of entering because whole staircase were COMPLETELY covered in thick inches of ice. It was so dangerous. We were slipping and sliding and holding on to dear life trying to bring our young boys inside the house. We informed the property manager how dangerous the stairs were. We asked if they could have someone clear it out tomorrow morning since we had more families with young babies who were coming the next day. Well, no one cleared it out. Instead, the housekeeper left salt in front of our door so we had to clear it out ourselves. We opened the coffee maker and there was left over grinds and mold. I felt so disgusted. It was obvious that the cleaners haven’t cleaned the coffee maker in months. The dishwasher when we got there was disgustingly filthy and had black stuff inside. The fridge was completely shut off. We had to call the property manager because and he told us that they turn off the fridge to save energy. There were missing knobs in the kitchen, sticky and filthy cabinet drawers. Really dirty plates and utensils. The bedding were very outdated. It felt cheap, very scratchy and uncomfortable to sleep in. This place has so much potential but it is very obvious that they need to hire a new cleaning crew + a maintenance crew.

In need of some serious TLC
This is a beautiful home that needs a lot of love on top of not being very clean at all there was mold in the bathrooms. The floors encounters were filthy. I was told there was a propane barbecue there so we bought all kinds of stuff to barbecue. The barbecue is horrible. You can’t even get it to light. Half of the TVs don’t work. There was no dish soap to even wash dishes or dish towels. I’ll have to say I was very disappointed with this stay for what they charge you to stay there and the cleaning fee at least the place could be clean when you get there.

Great Stay
There were a few things that needed attention! The dryer did not work properly! The family room bathroom flooded the seal underneath the toilet leaked had to shut valve off to stop leaking! Could not use bathroom afterwards! The dump site for garbage was closed Thanksgiving weekend! Had to use an another dump site further away. The heater worked, but would heat some rooms too hot and others not enough! The shopping stores were great all the mom and pop stores were excellent! Overall our stay was great will do it again next year, but stay by big bear lake!

Great experience! We found the perfect property for future stays in Big Bear.
Stayed for a few days beginning of 2023 for skiing holiday with my big family. House had loads of space to spread out in the house. Great amenities in the house - heating was super efficient (Its winter!). Everything in working condition, no problems with any electrical appliances. Pool table kept us entertained. Fireplace kept the house cozy. The house was very convenient for skiing areas as well as Big Bear play for the little ones. loved the views, Loved the house. Felt / looked after in all respects. We highly recommend this lovely home.

Had a blast but only few things I didn’t like . Refrigerator wasn’t working and we told property manager and he suppose to send someone but never showed up. I need to buy coolers with ice to put my frozen food in and refrigerator food. Didn’t have a broom to clean and had to buy one. Wifi went on and off couldn’t use the tv . It’s a nice house but needs improvements .

Good but not so good
The property was huge and grand, perfect for our group of 5 families. The kids loved the place and so we did enjoy. However there were a couple of not so good things. 1. We stayed for the long weekend recently. When we checked in there was a notice at the door that the owner missed water payment and so got disconnected. We didnt have water for a great 4 hrs. The owner got to the property to fix the issue and luckily by almost midnight water was back. He gave us a crate of sparkling water to as an apology for the inconvenience. But upon checking the cans were expired. 😩 good thing no one drank it. 2. Internet was very bad. Like we didnt connect bec it was very lowtech and slow. 3. Coffeemaker, there was a load of groundcoffee in the pot that was full of molds! It was bad. :( we threw it out and just cleaned everything with vinegar and hot water. 4. Blender, the spout was not cleaned well that when we opened it there were a lot of green leafy stuff in it. :( good thing no one suffered diarrhea after that. Other than that, our experience there was good. It was the only placed who accepted a big group around the area. The rooms were spacious and had enough linen and pillows and towels for everyone. We cleaned everything before we left so I bet the cleaning person wont have to clean as much. Thank you! Hope this is helpful.

Great big house, needs some TLC
The property is good for a big group, we had 18 people. The bed distribution could be better so no one has to sleep in a staircase landing or a common area. The house needs a bit of TLC, the coffee machine was cracked, who doesn't need coffee??? The extra pillows and blankets should be washed thoroughly or tossed if stains can't be cleaned. Unlike other properties we've stayed at they did not have board games, they do have a nice pool table and foosball table but if bring your own games if you want more than that. The house as a whole is gorgeous, with nice views, a nice lot, huge island/peninsula in the kitchen which makes feeding a big group perfect.

Great family Christmas gathering
I booked this property before reading any reviews. When the event was the following week, I happened to read the reviews and was a little worried. The bad reviews were ridiculous and nit picky. The property was clean. The stove worked, the were pool sticks that were not broken. The curtains were not falling off the rods etc! The property was cozy and warm and had all the proper equipment supplied including lots of soap. I had purchased all these thing s before going and found that I did not need any items I brought along. There were plenty of pots and pans in good condition and all the amenities needed for cooking. The teens went snow boarding and had a blast!! It also had a very peaceful atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful time!!

Neglected interior & Un clean
The house is beautiful & spacious, however It was very disappointing, my family & I felt very disrespected & upset by the fact that the house was very dirty,Owner fees for cleaning are high, & doesn’t reflect on the condition we found the house. Some examples: microwave was dirty w/crumbs inside,stove was dirty & had built up stuff on bottom door up most kitchen pots & pans should be thrown away they are really bad! Trash can was dirty & only 1 trash bag available Grill has broken knobs & so old it doesn’t cook food evenly 1 bedroom had a dirty towel & Covid mask left on the floor,1 bedroom had hole on the wall & broken blinds, leaving room had end tables with dust like nobody had clean in a while,& dingy curtains 1 bedroom had broken bed leg. Beds had dirty blankets. 2 bedrooms had Closets with piles of blankets on the ground! We had to disinfect everything we could to feel safe We had to drive 20 min to take our trash per owner’s contract. Contract is too strict for renters, I was expecting high quality family time instead it turned to be a disappointment!! The pool table Q sticks had broken tips couldn’t even play. 1 bar stool had the top cushion seat unattached It blows my mind how this can be okay with owner or does the owner even know the condition in which the house is being rented ? Air conditioning didn’t work thermostat is so old we couldn’t make it work even after googling the model I called owner & had to leave message, he never call me back . I wanted to give him the feed back on the phone, if he is paying some one for cleaning or upkeep it isn’t happening & he should inspect. We paid too much money to had spent our time in this neglected home.

Big and beautiful but needs work.
The location is beautiful and the space in the house is great but there are too many small details that are overlooked either by the owner and or the cleaning service that add up. The review posted before about certain items needing repair are still the same, just wish they would have been taken care of before the next renter which was probably our group.

Nice place but needs some TLC and inaccurate listing
We stayed here for the weekend with some friends. This place is large and has plenty of room. One thing that was very upsetting was the listing stated Jacuzzi, which we all were looking forward to. Yet when we arrived, no jacuzzi. We questioned this to the property manager and his response was one was in each master bathroom. Um no, those are jet tubs in bathrooms, not jacuzzi. I sent him the definition of each and he stated he did not know there was a difference, really?!? So no jacuzzi or spa. Plus neither one of the tubs jets turned on. They did not work even confirming with the property manager they did before booking. Next, the pool sticks tips are broke so we had to play with a short stick. The foosball table is broke. There were cobwebs everywhere, in the shower, kitchen, stairs, front door. They are selling the house so it seems like it has just been put onto the back burner. The kitchen has tons of dust on the ceiling and upper cabinets and the microwave was not reinstalled above the stove with the exhaust fan. So they just put out a small microwave on the counter for you. They lock the pantry so you have no where to put food except the countertop. The fireplaces did work and it did have a lot of room. But for a 1.5 million dollar home, we just expected more. Also, the wifi is horrible and band width sucks with more then 3 people on it. They need to add more in the kitchen with wine openers and cooking utensils. I gave it 2 stars because of the misleading listing saying they had a jacuzzi, jet tubes not working in either bathtub, hole in the drywall, cleanliness, horrible wifi, lack of kitchen space for food, crappy curtains and rods falling off the wall, games items being broken, no salt for stairs or sidewalks, really bad couches with holes and pleather coming apart, etc. The good items is it has a cabin feel, a lot of room, good heating system, nice area and neighborhood, enough bathrooms to bedroom ratio, nice decks, nice overall look. It needs a lot of TLC, but since they are selling it, I am sure they really don't care.

Vacation house needs some TLC
The amount of space for my family/party size was great. However, the house needs some major fixing and cleanliness. Appliances were not working properly, linens were old, handles were coming off of shower doors. The house was not dusted, cleaned well prior to getting there. The house needs more TLC and up keeping.

Good Cabin for groups
The cabin is nice and big, unlike the previous reviews we found the house to be clean and everything was working. As far being a luxury rental I would say it’s falling A little short. Just because a house is large and nice doesn’t make it luxury to me. Definitely not “Beverly Hills”. No communication after booking besides the contract. First text I got from agent was to scold me for my guests arriving early when we were just meeting up at the address to go into town. I was told it was ok as long as it doesn’t delay cleaning crew? Nobody even went inside. Then cleaning crew was not even done at check in time so really they delayed us. Preparing the house for guests wasn’t done thoroughly. The driveway was not cleared the best, balconies were covered in feet of snow so they were unusable, and the entry stairs covered in inches of slippery ice. Several guests slipped and fell during our stay, luckily nobody was badly injured. If they weren’t going to clear these areas they could at least provide tools/shovel so we could. Which brings me to lacking necessities. I get a lot of rentals don’t provide toiletries anymore but when you pay over $6k you expect there to at least be soap in the bathrooms. Trash bags etc. we tried our best to keep the place tidy but there wasn’t even a broom to sweep up. If this cabin wants to be a 5 star luxury rental they should try to anticipate guests needs and these little extras go a long way. Overall I was expecting better for the price but it one of the biggest cabins I could find so good for large groups. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again on one of the weeks where the rate isn’t as high.

Very Large, but a bit off the beaten path
Property worked for us. It was a bit dirty, not very clean and the overall feel is that of a high-end rental property that has been furnished as a rental, kind of a hodgepodge of items used throughout, a couple of which were broken. A bit far from town if that's an issue, it wasn't for us. Kinda nice if you want out of the hustle and bustle.
