Fathers Day Trip

To divert from the normal Father’s Day BBQ or brunch, we decided to do our first ever VRBO for Father’s Day weekend. There was a total of 20+ of us staying in various VRBO’s around big Bear city and we all truly enjoyed our experience. We are ready to plan our next trip! Thank you very much for making this experience easy and delightful.

Cute place but needs some TLC

Enjoyed the property for the most part. Love the outdoor area for our dog. The house itself is very drafty, especially under the front door, and while there is a pad for the draft, a simple plate attached to the door would be better. Heating system could be upgraded. My biggest gripe is the kitchen. You really need to include utensils, spatula, big, spoons, etc. I had to use the spatula from the barbecue to flip my eggs in the morning. Also, there was not a skillet to cook my eggs… I had to use a sauce pan! So the combination of this long, huge spatula trying to flip eggs in a sauce pan, not good.

Cozy cabin getaway

The cabin was great for our family of four and 2 small dogs. It felt rustic and cozy but a bit too dark for me. I loved the fenced in yard for the dogs. The basic amenities were enough for what we needed. The place was clean and comfortable.

One night getaway

We were working an event and needed a place for one night. We appreciated being able to check in early, bring our small dog, and book for just one night. We slept great in the big comfy bed and liked how we were able to make the room dark so we could sleep in a bit after a late night at work. Thank you!

Big bear

The place was very smoky upon entering. The burnt smell would not go away with the windows open. The place is not bright as advertised. It is very gloomy. Definitely needs an update! The grounds are not well kept!

Nice place - but beware of fees!

I have no complaints about the property as it was pretty much what I expected. It was the reservation process that I found disagreeable. The property is advertised for a reasonable daily rental fee. But what I disliked was the fact that the rental fees were not disclosed because the listing indicated some sort of technical error. After booking (which was “not refundable”) I was sent an email confirming my reservation for three nights. In that email was a listing of several fees which more than doubled the total cost of my stay. And quite honestly, if I had known the cost of those fees up front I would have gone in another direction.

Jeep weekend

We had a nice weekend in Big Bear. The property was nice. There did seem to be what looked liked feathers on the carpet in the living room. I am guessing they came from the pillows on the sofa. Keep in mine if you coming up in the summer there is no AC but a few box fans a provided. The only real complaint would be the bed room pillows where paper thin and on one for each person was provided.

Excellent stay.

Everything was great. The only critique I have is that the living room furniture is not very comfortable. The sofa is getting old and the cushions are broken down. Not a deal breaker, but could use to replaced/refurbished. We will return to this property. You should give them a chance at your business.

The cabin is cozy, clean and walking distance to the village. It also had a fenced in yard which was great for the Corgis. We had a very nice time and would stay there again.

Great location!

Great and spacious cabin within walking distance from the Village with shops, food and shopping. Check-in process was odd since it’s a keyless entry. Kitchen supplies was bare. No garbage bag for your no recyclables but you’re expected to take your own trash out. Coffee maker available but no filters provided. Quiet for the most part. Heater does not reach the back bedrooms just FYI.

Nice Getaway Cabin

Comfy rustic cabin on quiet side street. Close to village, shops, restaurants and lake. Very clean, kitchen is reasonably well provisioned. Good internet and streaming TV. The King bed was comfortable and appreciated. Central gas heater is a bit loud, but relatively effective at reaching the back rooms. Couch and chairs are a bit old and could use update. Fireplace was well used during our snowy stay. Friendly neighbor shoveled our driveway!

Beware - You have to do your own dishes and empty your own trash

Check in process was horrible. No chance of getting in even 2 minutes earlier than the already late check in of 4pm. I personally don't like to have to check in other than the home I am going to but got there at 3:50 to check in and did not get the text on how to enter home until 4:13pm. They were still cleaning home at 3:59pm too. Not in the listing but you have to sign a lease agreement that says you will pay $25 each if dishes not done and trash not emptied. There were only two small dish towels for our 3 night stay so you don't have any towels to dry your dishes nor is there a drying dish rack. No paper towels either. Makes no sense to me. Also check out is 10 am so gives you not much time to get packed, empty trash and do your dishes. Heater in house is a really good heater but so loud it sounds like you are sleeping with a running engine all night. Need more cooking pans too. Needed just a small sauce pan to cook eggs in but only had larger sauce pan. Other than this the home itself was cozy, warm and sufficient for our stay. Very close to town so you can walk there for dinner. Too bad it appears that this home is managed poorly because it certainly has potential.
