HOT TUB•MOVIE ROOM•GAME ROOM•DOGS ALLOWED•CENTRALLY LOCATED•FENCED IN PROPERTY

This is a great place to stay if you have kids. Our kids were very entertained with the game room and movie room. Also close to the village and other eateries.

We had a wonderful 8-day stay and would absolutely recommend this home and host. The house was comfortable, well set up for families, and exactly as described. It was clear a lot of thought went into making it a welcoming, fun, and functional space.The perimeter fencing was nice for our 75-lb dog to explore during the day, although I should note that the yard is not separated into front and backyard spaces. At times, our dog would go out the back door and want to come in through the front door, even at night. There isn’t a way to fully contain a dog in just the backyard, but once we understood the layout, it was manageable and our dog loved the size of the yard.The location is excellent. It’s quick to get onto the main road, an easy walk to Big Bear Mountain Brewing (we recommend the Cuban sandwich), and great for neighborhood walks with a dog. The area still feels open and we even spotted a bobcat across the street one morning, which was a fun Big Bear moment.The kitchen is well equipped and made it easy to prepare several meals at the house. We also appreciated the layout of the home, with the upstairs and game room being more separate, allowing the kids to get loud while adults still had a quiet space.While no one hopes for an issue during a stay, we did have a toilet flood, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, with a plumber there within an hour, which was very reassuring.Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

Host was welcoming. The property was marketed as pet friendly with a fully enclosed yard. Unfortunately, due to a storm, the gate that blocked the driveway blew over prior to our arrival. This was not repaired during our stay so we were unable to let our dogs roam in the yard as there is no barrier between the front and back yards. Outside of that, our stay was wonderful.

Unfortunately, this property did not live up to our expectations. The house is very oddly laid out, with the stairs in the back of the house and the upstairs pretty separated from the rest of the house. Our younger kiddos were too afraid to sleep upstairs because of its isolated footprint. The kitchen is quite small. Older and small appliances. The master bedroom does not have an attached bath, which is a little surprising for this price point. The yards front and back are not separately gated off. You must have the front sliding wood gate closed to have a "secured" yard. The yard was overgrown and not very well kept. There is a nice patch of turf in the front that was very nice. A good, dedicated, maintenance would definitely improve things. Many of the windows and doors would not close or lock properly and the front gate often fell off the track. The house overall was clean, but the windows and door frames were extremely dirty. The game room was very nice and our kids enjoyed playing ping pong and shuffleboard. Very comfortable beds. Clean bathrooms. Hot tub was nice. Movie room was a great benefit and the huge beanbags were super cool. Overall, we would not stay here again.
