Fun weekend with friends
Booked about a month in advance for a quick trip up to the snow with friends. Four adults and five kids. This was the perfect spot with plenty of room for us all. Kids were able to sled right out the front door on the property. There was also a small swing set the kids enjoyed. There was a cute hiking trail close by too. Would stay here again.

Good size, easy access, open Floorplan. Worst part was having to check in at a different location even though the key was in a lockbox.

Unepected
The cabin was good. A lot of room. It was easy to tell that it has seen better times. The floor sloped from the living room to the kitchen. The wall paper in the bathroom was curing. That said, the fireplace was great. My wife loved the size of the kitchen and that it had everything she needed. It would have been helped from since we are not from the area, for instructions on how to work the gas fire place and the TV downstairs. One thing that caught us off was that we were unaware that we had to bring our won paper products. This is not the first time we have rented a cabin in Big Bear, but it the first time we were told that we needed to provide our own paper towel and toilet paper. We also had only one kitchen towel for the whole 5 days we were there. The deck was wonderful. Having breakfast in the morning, dinner at night. Needless to say pluses and minuses. Would we stay again? I would say yes,knowing what we were getting into.

Wonderful Time at Snooky Bear's Den
we had a wonderful time at Snooky Bear's Den. Everything was as depicted in the pictures. The Kitchen is clean and roomy. while the whole cabin was very well appointed. Everything you would need is there. The fireplace in the upper level is wood while the fireplace downstairs is gas logs. The heater works very well as it was down into the low 20's while we were there. We are already planning a summer trip. Thank you Snooky!

Trip Canceled due to Covid 19
We were REALLY looking forward to this trip to Big Bear, unfortunately Covid 19 caused Big Bear to put a no host ban into effect. That was very sad to hear. Big Bear got a foot or more of snow this week too. What a shame for all the businesses up there to miss out on all that revenue. I gave a 5 star revue even though I didn't see or stay in the property. It's the least I could do.
