We loved everything about this house from the super easy and friendly check in process with Kim to the convenient location to the slopes. There was enough room for our family of 14 to sleep, play, and hang out. Extra touches likes games for all ages, plush bath towels, and handy flashlight nightlights make this house amazing. Just rent it, you will not regret it!

We were a group of 3 adult couples and 6 teens. The kids could easily get to the mountain while adults were at the house with no worries. Location is so amazing. A slightly late check in but understood as there was a group checking out before us. We would rent this place again.

This property is really great and in an amazing location. However, the experience interacting with the owner and manager was disappointing. We booked this home and indicated we had pets with us and paid a pet fee while booking. The owner never responded to my initial booking message and we had no interaction until 2 days prior to the stay when I reached out asking for check in details which we had not yet received. We met a local person at the home to check us in. We were not asked to inspect anything in the property and were given the wrong information regarding neighborhood rules apparently, as well as check out.
Upon check out it was discovered that our dog had scratched and damaged the doors and blinds in the room where some people were sleeping. The host messaged me frantically regarding this and asked me to call him immediately. I called him back and he let me know about the damages and I asked for photos. He proceeded to send the photos to me, then immediately charged my card a random amount within an hour of check out. I let him know that of course we would pay for this, but we needed to receive an actual invoice of charges. He told me that he had to charge me right away, which is not true for VRBO policy, and then ended up hanging up on me during the call. During this call he stated that pets are not allowed at his home, which is not true based on the listing when we booked and the information given to us, and accused us of damaging his pool table which was in that condition when we arrived. We also were told we were supposed to check out with his property manager directly, but that was never communicated to us at check in, nor was it on the check out instructions which are printed and posted on the fridge. After the call, the host then proceeded to text me that we were unbelievable and disrespectful. We still have not received any invoices or follow up from the host regarding this.
We are a group of adults and were in no way trying to damage anything in the home. The damage was from a pet and we will certainly take responsibility for this. However, the interaction and emotion coming from this host is not productive and we'd recommend he either hire professional management or stop renting out his home if he's so emotionally connected to it. If you're going to rent this home, please be aware that this host is not easy to interact with and communication is very poor across the board.

If you're planning for a Big Bear trip with the convenience of Snow Summit steps away, this is your place. This property has everything we needed for our family. It was so close to Snow Summit- could walk back and forth easily, saving a lot of time and hassle with parking/long distance. Property was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Backyard was fantastic- huge and spacious for kids to run around. If there was snow, it would have been a great backyard for play, although it is not completely fenced in.
It is pricey, but you can fit many people comfortably. House is broken up in several living areas, so you can be spread out and not feel crammed. Definitely recommend!

Amazing
We absolutely loved staying at base camp. By far the best place we have stayed in Big Bear.
It was so comfortable and there was plenty of room for the amount of people we had. Was a perfect house for entertaining. And so close to the mountain!
It had everything we needed. The back room with pool table and entertainment area was a highlight for us. We spent each night there. Perfect spot for after long day of skiing.
The overall feel of the place is what we loved the most. Everyone felt at home. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a place for the family or a weekend away with friends. We will definitely be going back.

Luxurious and Stylish Mountain Cabin
Basecamp is a wonderful house! Everybody's first reaction when walking in was WOW, There's enough room for everybody! There's two living room areas and a game room area in Camp 2. Tons of seating on patio deck areas for people to relax.
I appreciate how well decorated the place was. They used linens, curtains, mattresses, sofas and so forth with exquisite qualities up to their own living standards. I have to mention that, because some rental properties would put their old furniture they are not using, and old linens since it's a "rental property". But this place won't disappoint and exceeded everyone's expectations.
The property was within a very short walk to Summit Mountain which we were grateful for. The last time we were in Big Bear especially during snow season it took us over an hour to find and actually get to the mountain to start our day. We even walked back to the house for lunch.
We had our parents who are grandparents with us as well and they too love the house and wished we would have rented it longer. So they are spoiled now and this place would be hard to beat. It would be hard to find another place better than this for next year for our yearly family retreat.

Basecamp! Happy Place for All!
This is the second time we have stayed at Basecamp for our annual Surf to Snow trip (try it sometime -- surf in the morning, snowboard in the afternoon). The house is cozy, well-decorated, fully stocked, roomy, great for families, easy in and out, and ESPECIALLY, a block away from the base of Snow Summit. Hello, lunch at the house! Hello, hot tub break!
This trip we comfortably packed in 13 people (including five teens). It never felt crowded. The kids loved the pool table and there were some highly-competitive adult ping pong matches. Parking is easy. The main house also has the best-designed mud room/entry that I've ever seen in a ski house. Hooks galore! Board racks! Ski racks!
We will be back! Thanks Bruce and Basecamp!

Amazing house and great owner.
This house was perfect. There are multiple places to spread out which is huge for families traveling with kids. The layout is the best I’ve seen among all the houses I’ve rented up at bear. It is a very short walk to the base of snow summit. The driveway has plenty of parking. Exceeded all of our expectations. This is definitely our new go to house in big bear. The owner was great and communication was excellent. Thanks Bruce!!! Hope to be back soon.
