I reached out before booking this property to ensure the hot tub was working because I saw negative reviews about the hot tub. The owner ensured it was working. I also reach out days before my arrival because he said that it takes multiple days to heat up and he ensured me it was on and working. When we arrived, it was ice cold. I messaged the owner and he said that it was working and tried to get me to fix it for him. I told him I wouldn’t and he said he put in a trouble ticket. A maintenance worker arrived to check on it, without any notice, and he couldn’t repair the hot tub. Paying over value for a working hot tub was what I expected - but without a working hot tub, this was not worth the extra money. The owner didn’t even offer a partial refund, which is what I would’ve done if I was in his shoes. Aside from the hot tub - there were bugs everywhere. My son had spiders crawling all over him during the night. There were bugs flying around upstairs. Half of the furniture was wobbly or broken. Some of the lights were out. Overall, I would give this a 2.5 out of 5 stars. I would steer clear of this place unless it’s your only option left.

The property was in a dismal state: curtain panels were torn and missing, the kitchen was filthy with a grimy refrigerator and freezer, and every drawer was filled with hair and dirt. The house was covered in dust and really old spider webs, clearly neglected for a long time. I reported these issues to the host, including a broken jacuzzi and shower, and another bathroom that was unusable at night due to a broken light bulb and towel handle. The host's response was shockingly dismissive and rude. He denied the problems and demanded that I leave the house in good condition, showing no intention to address the issues. The situation escalated when the host arrived unannounced with cleaning staff, who acknowledged the need for deep cleaning. However, the host became confrontational, accusing me of having unrealistically standards and even threatening me with additional cleaning fees. Feeling unsafe and uncomfortable, especially with the host staying on the same property, my husband and I decided to leave two days early. The cleaning staff could only manage to partially clean the kitchen, highlighting the extent of neglect. The host's behavior remained unprofessional throughout, and he continued to send negative messages after our departure. Nobody deserves to be disrespected this way. I travel a lot and had never an experience like this host. It serves as a warning about the importance of proper maintenance and respectful host-guest interactions in the hospitality industry.

Very spacious, clean and relaxing. The bonus room was awesome. My kids played foosball and we enjoyed watching a couple of movies as a family. Didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub however it was a nice option to have.

Property was really nice. There were a lot of stairs to get to the front door, so be prepared if you pack a lot of stuff. It was listed as 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths in VRBO, but it's actually 2 beds and 2 baths only. Owner was so nice and communicative that he offered the manager's apartment downstairs if we needed more space. Would definitely recommend this property.

The overall cabin was really cozy and had everything you need on a trip. The property manager was extremely nice and helpful. The overall location was great, it’s pretty close to everything you’d want to do in Big Bear. The each balcony has a beautiful view! Be warned, a vehicle with AWD or 4x4 is HIGHLY recommended in the snow. The drive way is pretty steep, be prepared for a lot of stairs. This is a really good location for a weekend trip.

We visited after the all snowfalls in the BBL area. Parking was a challenge, with lots of snow it was pretty hard to get up the parking space without chains or 4x4 car. Path and stairs to the house were also hard to get to due to snow, owner\management might need to pay more attention to this issue in the future. The house itself is good, with nice amenities and good vibe in general. However hot tub was not working (and owner promised to partially refund due to this fact, but it haven't happened so far). Overall - good place to stay.
