SO DIRTY, SO DISAPPOINTING Spider webs in both bathrooms,bugs on bathroom floor, trash on balcony, fridge absolutely disgusting, dirty tables...couldn't unload any of our things. We wore socks that within 15 minutes were dark brown on bottom. Had to go purchase own cleaning products as they did not reclean either and was a holiday weekend, couldn't locate another place. Finally spoke to Louie Cardenas 1 day after our stay who is supposedly a manager. It was embarrassing to hear how he did not handle the situation and refused to provide his name but he accidentally emailed me. I feel bad for the homeowner as they probably have no idea how they are managing property.

The unit we stayed in was unsafe The unit we stayed in was unsafe. We were unable to use the fireplace without smoke filling the unit. This was even after calling the office and someone coming out to inspect the flute and ventilate the unit. (We also did their one log slow start to warm up the chimney they suggested over phone). The heat worked in the bedrooms but the main living area and kitchen got really chilly without the ability to use the fireplace not to mention the health risk to us and our 6 month old with smoke/ carbon monoxide filling the condo. When we got home everything we owned smelled like a camp fire. This should be addressed before renting this unit to anyone. Pros: proximity to village, clean, two nice size bedrooms on different levels for nice privacy, nice large hot tub with easy access from indoors. Decent for price if they figure out the fireplace issue. Cons: fireplace unsafe (cold in main living area without it), one small bathroom with small shower, lots of stairs (split level), uneven flooring in kitchen and bathroom.

Won’t book again The cabin it’s self was big and clean. But there was a few things that were not working like the cable Tv we had no tv all weekend. We had bought food to cook over the weekend the oven was not working and as soon as I turned it on it, it started to smoke the room, i thought it was going to catch on fire. Once the trip was over I wrote an email to then Christina, and she responded to me right away and was able to get me a compensation for those issues. Even though I did receive a compensation, I don’t think I would book again with big bear vacations to many inconveniences. Big bear vacations should make sure each every appliance in the cabin is working before renting it out.That is why I only gave it 2 stars.

Nightmare, horrible customer service Subject: Unpleasant Stay at Fisher Man Paradise - Reservation No. 234100 I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with our recent stay at the Fisher Man Paradise property under Reservation No. 234100. Upon our arrival on Saturday, January 13, at 4:30 pm, we were surprised to find the house in an unclean state. Despite our immediate complaint, the company's response only involved sending two cleaning ladies who addressed some of the issues, such as vacuuming and cleaning the bathrooms. Our problems persisted when attempting to wash the couch bed's sheets, leading to a significant leak and, subsequently, a safety concern. Despite the intervention of a maintenance person, we were left uneasy about our safety until the early morning hours due to the potential electrical hazard. It was a nightmare!! Seeking resolution, we visited the rental main office the next day and spoke with Louis, expressing our disappointment. Unfortunately, our concerns were not met with the desired level of customer service, and our request for a refund for that night was denied. Overall, our experience was marred by cleanliness issues, safety concerns, and a lack of satisfactory customer service. We hope that our feedback will prevent new guests from being scammed.

Pluses and minuses + Good location + Well stocked kitchen + Spacious + High but reasonable cost compared to others - Less than clean (mostly dusty & cobwebs) - Spiders (one between the bed sheets) - Torn carpet = trip hazard - Furnace cycled on & off every few minutes. A programmable thermostat would easily fix that annoyance. - 4pm check-in, 10am checkout with fee for checking out even one minute late -- so you get 2-3/4 days for the price of 3 days - 15-page agreement (leaving no liability/responsibility for management & owner)
