First family ski weekend

My wife and our 7 year old twins stayed at the property for the long weekend and spent two days skiing at Big Bear. The house was perfect for what we needed. It was clean and cozy and close to the mountain.

February Ski Weekend

We had a wonderful stay! The house fit our two families very well. We were able to relax, spend a couple days at the mountain skiing and hiking. The owner was very responsive to our questions and the check in process was extremely easy. Thank you for our getaway.

Comfortable Weekend but…

Pictures are not clear, duplicate angles of the same rooms. Washer worked but the Dryer was disabled. In addition, there was an outrageous cleaning fee that was worth almost another night alone. Location is great but I don’t recommend because of the fees.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Babcock

Host profile image
Hello! We are Erin and Mike, the owners of Casa Aurora. While we reside in NJ now, Erin, a born and raised local to the tri-state area near our PA house, spent her summer weekends rafting on the Delaware River and learned to ski at Ski big Bear! Mike grew up in the Midwest and loves the outdoors just as much. We also have 2 young daughters who we love to take on our adventures.
We renovated this house on our own to with the help of family and hope you will love it and enjoy it just as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We travel to the area often since we have family nearby. We wanted a vacation home near family where we can all come together to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city area and get back into nature. The summer and winter amenities here were a major draw for us and our children. We love this property because it's not too big and not too small!
