Just Right

The house was BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT AND COZY. The kids LOVED the game room at the lower level of the home. Home was VERY CLEAN, property management was VERY Nice and friendly. Lake was walking distance from the home and great distance from stores, snow play and food places. This was. PERFECT VACATION home for our Family!

Perfect Big Bear Home!

This is our favorite Big Bear home to date! It's very well-maintained and cared for, which is not always the case with Big Bear rentals. We loved the open floor plan (you can cook and watch kids in the living/dining room) and the game room in the basement, so the adults could watch tv and be louder after the kids' bedtime. Everything was very user-friendly (code to enter home rather than keys, all light switches labeled, etc). The neighborhood is wonderful and quiet. The owner was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We would return in a heartbeat! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was gorgeous from the inside and out. It was a group of 6 adults and 3 little ones under the age of 2. The home had more than enough space for all of us . The bbq grill had enough propane and they even had a spare tank just Incase you run out. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean! Which was great for us all. We took a neighborhood walk and discovered the lake. It was a perfect day out about 80 degrees. Overall fantastic booking. Close to town and great communication with property management. We would definitely book again with them.

Poor cleaning

Im very frustrating with this house and the management First it all, the house was not clean the way that should be, specially with covid When we check in the property management told me that i need to wash all the dishes, pots, etc I get very surprise first because if the price of the house, then because of covid.How you can trust that the guest are going to clean everything good?, what about sanitization ? So when we get at the house, we start preparing lunch and all the utensils were dirty, with food, totally disgusting.I contact the management and she inmediatly started to argue with me( by text), that was water spot on the utensils and plates, glasses... all The she sent the housekeeping, an hour later Because of the poor cleaning house proceed i decido to startd cleaning the whole house! Because of we were waiting for 2 friends we stayed at the house, if not we were living on the moment that we discover how dirty was, with no sanitization of course. The barbecue was so dirty ider !! I need a refund, im going to fill a complain in regards of the covid sanitization with the city, this is an acceptable in this time with covid. This management is a disaster I have texts and pictures with me Im going to send a formal letter in the next few days Thanks

We stayed there because of the game room. The pictures are deceiving. The ceiling is less than 6ft high. My husband at 6’ had to lean down and my daughters’ boyfriend is 6’6”. Hugh problem

Family weekend getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first (whole) family getaway. I arrived first to check in and check out the home. I was extremely satisfied. The house is beautiful and was perfect for our family. I was so excited for everyone else to arrive and watch their expressions as they did. The home was clean and comfortable and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the foosball, horseshoes, pool table and jacuzzi (even though only two in our party got in). We didn’t do too much cooking at all but noticed that the kitchen was very well equipped with everything you needed. We made some great family memories and this may become an annual trip, if possible. The only damper was the mattresses in all of the bedrooms. As everyone woke up the first morning, it became clear that no one slept well. However, we were up late each night and on the go early and we caught back up on our sleep once we got home. The hot water for showers was fairly nonexistent as well but it was hot during our stay so a cooler shower wasn’t too horrible. Check in and check out were smooth and we didn’t have any issues during the stay so there was no other interaction with the management. We have already recommended this home to two other families. It really is a beautiful and welcoming home!

A Relaxing Retreat

Knollwood Retreat was the perfect setting for a couple of days away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. The check-in process with Thomas at A-Kenn's Key & Lock was super-easy, and the house was clean and beautifully appointed. There are easy-to-follow instructions for everything (though the volume for the TV was a challenge), and all the essentials were provided. We would definitely stay there again!

Immaculate Cabin Very Close to the Lake

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very impressed with our stay at Knollwood and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the Lake is only a block away. The cabin is more like a house with nice, updated furnishings and decor. Fully-stocked kitchen with quality cookware, which is important to us because we love to cook. The game room is very cool and the hot tub is a bonus. Lots of room to spread out and we’d love to come back with a larger group. The neighborhood is really pretty and peaceful and we loved taking afternoon strolls to the lake. The village and main drag are very close by - great location. Lewis, the host, was very responsive. We’ll definitely be booking again in the winter to ski. Thanks!
