Ratings and reviews
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
We were a party of 4 with a small dog. The location was perfect for needs as the dock was fenced in so we could let our dog run loose and not worry about him running away chasing the ducks. The front entrance and each balcony were fenced in so our dog could roam loose without worry. The kitchen was very well stocked with ample cooking supplies that went beyond many of the places we've stayed at before, Big Bear and Mammoth Lakes. The third bedroom is interesting due to it being detached from the main house. It is an ADU located under the garage and half a flight of stairs down from the main house entrance. We did not have a use for it but would have been perfect for teenagers or had another small family joined us. Sofas were comfy, the gas fireplace was nice, wifi was strong and absolutely necessary and the TV had lots of choices for viewing. Oh, the hot tub was fantastic and got lots of use, we will be definitely staying again! We suffered some power outages but that is to be expected when the winds kick up and SCE shuts it down to prevent forest fires.

Reviewer Comments:
This is an awesome lake house. Great Lake views from both levels. Has everything you need and more. Great dock, spa, deck furniture, and shade on the dock. Great place to wake up in the morning with the view and the sounds of nature. We can’t wait to come back and stay for a longer period of time.
8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
We really enjoyed our stay there except for the master TV didn’t work and we could not move the chairs on the boat Doc into the sun because they’re chain down and I did catch my hand on a rusty screw that was sticking out the railing other than that, we really enjoyed the place
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
Stayed for 4 days. Liked the location. Easy checkin. Host easy to get a hold of. The only issue the house needs a deep cleaning inside and out.
