We used the Edgewood Mansion for our family vacation at Big Bear. The house easily accommodated 8 adults and 8 children. While the home had a detached guesthouse we two additional bedrooms, we opted to have everyone sleep in the main house. We loved all the amenities the house had to offer (several family rooms, game room, gym, large hot tub, dining room and spacious kitchen). Feeding the family three times per day with the chef's kitchen was a snap. The house has ample counter space, cooktops, refrigerator/ freezer and appliances. We would rent the mansion again. Kids had fun inside and outside.

We were there on a pretty hot weekend. This house is advertised to have A/C, but it was not working, nor had it been for years, apparently. The management company came out to assess; there was little they could do with a system that was in such disrepair it would require a complete overhaul. We tried to open windows, but many of the mechanisms were broken, and many windows didn't have screens. We were so desperate for cool air at night we just put up with the mosquitos. Pretty lousy for such a high priced rental! Other than that, it's a weird set up (4 bedrooms on the top floor but only 2 bathrooms, including the private one in the master). It was a fun place to explore, but in desperate need of maintenance both inside and out. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking utensils and appliances, which I wish we had known before we packed. This would probably be a really fun rental in cooler weather, but I'm not sure I can recommend it.
