This was an amazing place to stay in Big Bear. Very convenient to snowboard and grocery stores are nearby. Very roomy and more than I expected.

The pavement from the driveway into the property was uneven and unsafe. We tripped multiple times and couls have easily fallen. No air conditioning and weird window in the shower.

We enjoyed our stay!
A little confusing when we arrived, as to which was our room. However, we figured it out. Room was cute and gave us what we needed, including coffee set up, a refrigerator and microwave oven. I appreciated the messages, that the staff checked with me if all was fine. I would come back to this place if in the area

Property had no air conditioning. Property was not maintained. Shower rod kept falling, there were holes in the walls. Bedding had not been cleaned from previous renter. Said non smoking but reaked of cigarettes.
Whoever is maintaining the property may want to do some upkeep on the unit as well as the weeds that were growing in the front.
Pictures were not current. This was like staying at the bates motel.

Room was large. Decor is odd colors, purple couch, red curtains, blue and grey panel floor…having kitchen amenities is nice, bathroom is small, not well lit, but tub/shower is very adequate. We enjoyed our stay even without electricity our first 12 hours (not really an issue except lack of hot water) due to local electric public safety shut off. Upstairs guests were a bit noisy, as well as people using the stairs. The bed appears to be a firm memory foam, and was fine. The off site personnel were very nice and answered texting promptly. The ONLY real detractor was the very gritty floor which probably needed a good dust mopping. There’s a pretty significant water hammer noise at the kitchen sink. Nothing fancy but pretty adequate.

It’s everything you want in a place that’s affordable and close to nearly everything you’d want. If you’re looking for a cheap clean spot to stay at while looking to snowboard and ski this is your spot!

The management was really responsive and kind. Overall, this place is average. There is no A/C, so be prepared if you come during the summer. It’s about 10-12 minutes from the main area in Big Bear. The property was quiet.
