First of all the address to your office is incorrect. We were told it has been about 3 years. That took up some time away. When we got to the correct location your receptionist was not too helpful or friendly. When we got to the house we turned the thermostat down and the wall system came off the wall. Some of the light bulbs were not working and had to be replaced. The fan in the 2 master bedroom with the bathroom ceiling fan was broken. That room was very hot and we were miserable. At another room, the ceiling fan was hanging. A repair man was called and fixed it all except for the broken ceiling fan. Also why can we find out the day before if we could have a late check out. We had to wake up early just in case you didn’t grant us a late check out. Didn’t like that. Maybe you should change this. House needs some repairs. Carpet going outside is torn. Kitchen stuff, you have the bear minimum

Good stay

The place itself was fine, but it definitely needs some attention. There were dead flys, webs, dust… the outside seat could use cushions. There weren’t great kitchen utensils for cooking, or bowls for meal preparation, kitchen towels.. overall it was fine, but the place could use a little more attention and things… also, wish you had access to washer and dryer. When staying a few days and only 1 towel per person….

Fall/Winter retreat

Our small group of women from church booked this home for our annual women's retreat. It was perfect in every way. There were enough beds, plenty of space, and so much of what we needed for food preparation and servinvwas available.

Big Bear 50th Anniversary

The interior amenities and sleep quarters ok, but could use better pillows. Entertainment accommodation great. Bathrooms clean and good. BBQ worked great as did fire pit. House is warm and needs constant use of fans which were provided. Entryway stairs need repair with nails sticking up. Carpet needs some repairs and deep cleaning. Exterior seating was in need of cushions and up keep. Interior and exterior did not match the elegance on the posted pictures. They were run down and several area showed signs of damage. Exterior upon arrival was full of tree debris which had to be cleared out. The area was beautiful however the restriction on sound levels is intense and prevents anyone from sitting outside and talking or listening to low music. Inside, when playing games, sound levels are also an issue and the penalties on noise are outrages. Basically no noise after 10 PM even Fridays and Saturdays. The management team was outstanding. Stove, spa, monitors and fan needed repairs and they were done immediately. They provided support at all times and were very helpful. Destinations Big Bear team was excellent, only issues was the condition of home and noise constraints. Many thanks for your kindness and help.

Great for a group

Place was clean and had pretty much everything you need. Outdoor fire pit was great to hang around at night. Needs new pool cue sticks and some TLC but other than that great place.

muy bonito lugar

todo estaba muy limpio y muy bonita la casa pero algo que no nos gusto a mi y a mis familiares fue las alarmas que están mandado a cada rato y el parqueadero que tiene muy poco espacio uno de mis invitados se tubo que regresar porque no avía parqueadero mi consejo es que quiten las alarmas que controlan el ruido porque van a perder clientes

Amazing house for a great price.

We had 16 guests total for a weekend visit to Big Bear and the house was everything as advertised. It was a huge property with many accomodations. The place was clean and the customer service was timely and excellent. There were a few items that were slightly damaged around the house but nothing too major. I didn't know one could stay in a house this size for that cheap of a price. I would love to go back again!

Disappointing.

The overall condition of this rental was poor. It needs alot of TLC. Kitchen supplies were inadequate and what was there was in disgusting shape. One dish cloth and two dish towels, went to store and bought our own. Had to call for service on the stove the first night, there was to gas to it. They fixed the oven but every time we needed to use the stove top we had to light with a lighter. TV's downstairs didn't work, didn"t come on with endless attempts. Spent first 2 hours cleaning up the back deck and driveway so as not to track in dirt, just a mess. Trash outside. Cleaning service needs to be replaced. This was an annual family gathering, won't be using the rental company again. I was surprised this was a VRBO property. I have used them before with better results.

Great size for a large family!

Positives: -Huge! We had enough rooms for 7 families -nice size kitchen -great outdoor area with fire pit and jacuzzi -nice game space -beautiful neighborhood - plenty of parking -lots of activities near by Negatives (mostly cleanliness of the place-who wants to go on vacation and have to clean when they arrive?!?) - house was pretty dirty : many dead flies in the window sill in the formal dining area -spider web everywhere even on the walls -cabinets in kitchen had trash and -dropping -The oven was so disgusting and dirty! You can tell it's never been cleaned! We cooked in it in the first night and gave up after that since it filled the house with smoke with burning off what ever was left behind -a lot of the dishware was dirty -no dish towels or pot holders provided! We had to go buy our own (we left them behind for the next family) -not enough wash cloths provided for each family member -BBQ had very little propane and was horribly dirty. We had to scrub it down. So overall great at accomadating large families and in a great location. Terribly unkept and required a lot of personal cleaning especially since we had two babies, one crawling around.
