GBWon’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.

GBVery bad experience! Never again! Very bad experience! The house upon arrival was very dirty and dusty. I found old food, dirty diapers, and cobwebs all over. No enhanced cleaning here as advertised! They didn't even provide pillowcases and the pillows were all filthy. I was told that a ski lift ticket was included, when I checked in only a rental was (so might have been some confusion on the employee's end) since I got one the year before. The location was very dirty. I was offered a free day. Once management processed the complaint they only offered a refund for the cleaning fee. I felt ripped off by the entire experience and will never use them again. I found Big Bear Cool Cabins and I was very happy with them!

GBHorrible experience Horrible experience! None of the kitchen appliances were in working condition and unfortunately I did not find this out until after I bought a couple hundred dollars worth of groceries. The floors are so slippery that you will fall several times and hurt yourself. Several of us were bruised up and I myself could not move for a couple days after hitting the ground so hard. There are cobwebs everywhere and the beds are cheap and uncomfortable. The master bedroom is good size yet it has a queen bed that feels like it’s 20+ years old. I wish that I had something positive to say about the home I was in as well as the company big bear vacations, but unfortunately there’s nothing but negative words to say. They are not accommodating and are only interested in your money. Stay away at all costs. If it looks too good to be true, it most definitely is.

GBThe Cozy Cottage we rented was in a… The Cozy Cottage we rented was in a fabulous location next to the Snow Summit ski area with lots of snow play surrounding the house. That was the reason we rented the property. The house itself was large enough for all 10 of us. However, there were lots of problems with the house itself. The cleaning staff needs to be changed as there were dirty socks in the downstairs bed indicating the linens had not been changed. The handle on the sink in the bathroom was broken making it hard to use. A space heater has to be brought in for the bedroom without a heater vent. There was a white pill of some kind on the bedroom floor indicating the floor had not been vacuumed. Shower was corroded. Water dribbled out. Kitchen tabletop was not attached to the base and kept falling off.

GBPluses 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)
