The cabin was perfect for our family of 4 plus our dog. The fenced yard was great for the dog. The location was very close the village. We enjoyed the puzzles and corn hole. Check in and out was easy.

Great location easy walk to the village.

The cabin is a great size, ample space while still feeling cozy. The location is great, with easy walks to both the village and the lake. Unfortunately a few things are holding us back from a full five stars. For one, we did not receive the check-in information until 30 minutes before check-in. That does not inspire confidence when you're nearing the end of a long road trip, and you don't even have the address yet. When we arrived, it looked like we had just stumbled upon a pillow fight - there were down feathers all over the couch. Not the end of the world, but not a great first impression. The cabin is lovely but there were a few details that gave us pause: loose hardware, a pretty cheap shower head. There were ants in the kitchen, and a little sign telling us that ants are to be expected. Well, I've stayed at multiple properties in Big Bear over the years, and this is the first one that had noticeable ants. They weren't a nuisance, but I really take issue with the implication that we should *expect* ants. The kitchen is barebones even by rental standards. There was a coffeemaker but no filters, and only one single-use pouch of coffee. It looked like a previous guest had just dumped the grounds in with no filter. We cleaned it, but we couldn't find coffee supplies anywhere, so we gave up. We didn't reach out to our host because I hate texting with automated message systems. Overall nice, but for the price we paid, I'd expect a little more attention to detail.

The place was very smoky upon entering. The burnt smell would not go away with the windows open. The place is not bright as advertised. It is very gloomy. Definitely needs an update! The grounds are not well kept!
