Guest Reviews

• Shirley (10/5): - I liked the fact it was so close to the lake That you had to check in at 4. Its a kinda late check in and you have to be out by 11. We're not even there for 24 hours.
• Cleo (7/5): Needs a lot of bathroom fixes - Location and clean Bathroom is unpleasant, fixtures broken

• Alexandra (1/5): My experience was getting carbon monoxide poisoning and it was scary and dangerous. - Over look to the lake was nice Me and my husband check in later in the night. When we were ready to head to bed. My head started hurting really bad! I thought it was elevation. Turns out around 10:30 the carbon monoxide alarm started going off. Ended up going to the hospital and had elevated levels of carbon monoxide. I believe it was due to the heater in the room.
• Leland (8/5): Very cute spot at an unbeatable location - The location is hard to beat The mattress is some version of memory foam, which is great on paper, but a bit jarring if you're not accustomed to that type of mattress.
• Karinny (10/5): -
• Fulton (8/5): -
• Kelly (7/5): Comfortable - The staff was friendly. The facility was clean and comfortable. The 4 o’clock check in is unreasonable. Your day is half over before you can get in the room.
• Thomas (9/5): - Property managers Were very helpful and very friendly. special Thanks to Kaitlyn, thank you very much. Tom & Dee Lopez.
• Heath (10/5): -
• Chen (10/5): - The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that the room doesn't have a hairdryer.
• hui (10/5): - location is very good, close to the lake and the village. It is nice to just sit next to the dock and enjoying the view.
• Corralejo (10/5): Really nice, super close to everything we wanted to do! - How close everything was to it Parking

• XIN (9/5): Wonderful experience. - Floorplan, facility, location Trash can is too small.
• Amelia (8/5): Perfecto para una familia de 4 - Que esta cerca de todo especialmente del village, mis hijos con una sonrisa y amaron sentarse frente al lago Solo fue incomodo con los huespedes del segundo piso empezaron a caminar y caminar despues de 10pm hasta 1.30am se escuchaba mucho los pasos ... eso nos desesperó a nosotros...
• SUN MYUNG (9/5): Totally recommend this place. Great value - Amazing location. Walking distance to villages and all the shops Little order facility but still good for the price
• Garibello (1/5): -
• Gerardo (10/5): Very nice place to stay. The view was very beautiful - Love the view
• Charles (5/5): it's a sleeping room. get out and get busy, come home tired. - it was clean, and the heater worked. I've renovated slums from crap to tolerable, and this makeover does not quite achieve that. I understand the challenges of taking over a new property, it does look like someone is trying. for a hundred bucks, though, I won't complain. I'll even try it again.
• Mcgee (10/5): The best relaxation time I’ve had in a very long time - I actually like the entrance how they just send you a code and confirmation to your phone check in and you don’t really have to deal with people especially if you’re like a getaway. I really like that the scenery was nice. The view was excellent. It was very nice. The room was nice and as I said before, the view was excellent and I really like that if I ever win any type of free night state, it would be there in big Bear.
• Malinda (9/5): -
• Simon (8/5): - Well laid out. It was nice and clean. The heater didn’t work. It got quite cold.
• Marcelo (9/5): Muito espaço e boa localização - Muito espaço, sala, mezanino e quartos enormes. A cama do mezanino é daquelas desmontáveis, mais fracas.
• Dutra (10/5): -
• Cesar (10/5): -
• Patricia (7/5): - I enjoyed my stay. Lake view was amazing. My dog had a great walk...got his paw wet. Only issue was the power outage from 9am... was not able to make breakfast. Went for a walk hoping for the energy to return but it did not. Left outdoor and most shops and restaurants power was out. One restaurants was open without power. , Alpine Country coffe shop. Very friendly waiters and cook. Power came up around 3pm for them. Headed back to my room and power had returned too.
• Valerie (8/5): - Sitting on the deck, peacefully reading and watching the activity at the marina and on the lake. TV too small. Shower water adjustments.
• oma (10/5): -
• Jason (7/5): -
• Adele (10/5): perfect nice place in front of lake - location & room bed not comfortable, me & my husband had some back pain in the morning… also we can hear the footsteps from people on the 2nd floor, day & at night
• Janet (2/5): It was the worst. I planned to get a place to watch the fireworks from my deck. Nothing was good. - Nothing much except for partial view of the lake that was mostly blocked by the building next door, which totally blocked the view of the fireworks. Thank god there was a functional microwave. You did not provide accurate pictures of this horrible space. It is run down, dirty, cobwebs, falling apart, got a splinter in my hand from wooden stairwell outside. The door to the deck is off the floor at least an inch, letting in flies and mosquitoes. Tiny little refrigerator. Smoke alarm hanging on a string on the wall. Wallpaper peeling. A couple cheap plates and a few cheap utensils pilled in a cabinet. It smelled. No designated parking! That was the absolute worst part. Tons of non-bookers parking to see the fireworks filled up the whole area.
• Oleksandr (7/5): Good -
• Veronica (9/5): Superb -
• Apolonia%20vizcarra (8/5): Had a great weekend overall, loved the bunnies! - I loved the bed, the comfort and quietness of the place. Love the closeness to Big Bear village and to the lake. The shower was hard because the water was either too cold or too hot. It was hard to regulate the water temperature.
• Yolanda (7/5): I would like to make a complaint when we arrive Thursday night we heard something like was in the wood or walking. We th - Nice
• Sandy (5/5): Ok but loud music and partying - The location The place was not clean the balcony was dirty, windows and moved the loveseat after I drop my glasses and there was a dirty sock
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Devony (10/5): Exceptional -
• William (9/5): Superb -
• Rafael (8/5): Very good -
• Patricia (6/5): Nice place but needs up keep. Fairly worn down external property needs work - Nice location Comfortable Allowed dogs Heater was great Not stocked well. Unable to use the fire place. Missing sheets on one bed no extra blankets or sheets
• Nina (5/5): Now that we have seen other places to stay we would choose something else. - Liked the location When we arrived, the door was unlocked and it looked like someone may have tried braking into the unit. The term all around the lock was damaged. I sent a photo to the host, but never heard back regarding this. The lock still worked, but definitely did not make us feel totally safe. Also, there was no locking mechanism on the interior of the door. It looked like it used to be there but has been removed. Prior to arrival, I asked host to confirm kitchen amenities with me but no one responded. It was fine, but unfortunately we will not be staying here again due to little communication from host.
• H (7/5): Good - I like the location They accused me taking the towels, and actually No Towels in the bathroom and I didn't complain because I bring my own towels. The owner send me an email asking the missing towels. I reply asked your housekeeper, I even left a tip $20
• Nancy (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was so nice
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Antonio (1/5): BAD EXPERIENCE ...BAD BAD.. - The only thing I like about this property was the location... I stayed at this property 2 twice before ..managed I guess by another company.. this time i booked from Jan 6 thru 8th ..and I was expecting to find a clean and safe property Like my previous stays ..this time the cabin I got it was totally dirty..beds were not clean and the comforters were very dirty with some human hairs and stains.. under the bed was very dirt y and I guess some lost items I guess from previous guest..I found a cockroach in the kitchen..the digital door lock was broken and beeping all night ..we dint feel safe..that night I decided to stay because it was too late for me and my family to look for another place..but what really made it worst ..was our neighbor in cabin 56 ..they got into a big fight ..and one of them threatened to come back and kill the other person.. when my family heard that got very nervous and decided to leave immediately..so we did by 9 am the next day..we were already checked out of the room.. by then I called Christina and explained to her the situation and she said to speak to Katrina the manager..I called and talked to her the situation and I told her I wanted talk to them directly before I would write my review with booking because I dint want a bad review for them ..but I wanted my money back at least one night .. but I noticed she was bothered with my demand ...she not even offered me to place me in another property..I felt very disappointed with the way she handled my complaint..not even an apology or sympathy for what I and my family was going thru because of them..today I got an email from booking telling me the amount I suppose to get refunded back to my card..and I called Katrina back told her I wasn't happy with the amount refunded..again she was bothered by my call..and I told her I dint want to write a bad review..she told me she dint care to go ahead and do it..this is the reason I decided to write about my experience with company and their staff.. BAD EXPERIENCE!!!
• Frida (8/5): Very good -
• John (9/5): Very spacious and clean with a great location. Near downtown Big Bear and about 10 minutes to the ski slopes. - Spacious, clean, and great location. Near downtown Big Bear, right on the lake, and only minutes from the ski slopes. We would stay there again!
• Alex (8/5): Very good -
• Ruth (7/5): Good - Good location Needed to be dusted.
• Glenn (6/5): I hope they will focus on maintenance and cleaning of the property. - The property has good location. It used to be neat and clean the first few times we visited. But this last visit, it looked like it has not being cleaned. Dog hair on the couch, insects like small roaches in the kitchen area. Some insects on the bed, maybe flea or bed bugs. We got bitten. And the couch in the tv room when we moved it because we’re getting itchy, there’s a used plastic spoon under it. So its not cleaned before we got there.

• Vijay (9/5): Superb -
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Crystal (1/5): Beware!!! Don't stay here with children. - There were very few things I liked about this short stay which was one night of a two day stay. The location was lake side. We were a short walk from the dock that overlooked the . Also the size was big enough for a small family to sleep and eat. The kitchenette had the basic essentials you needed to make small meals. Now what I didn't like is a whole long list. When we first got there I noticed our porch like was broken so it made it hard to see when it got dark and we were trying to unload the car. Initially the room looked clean but as I start moving things around to put my kids things away I found cat food on the floor. Two Coke bottle caps and hair on my kids beds. I tried not to get upset at these minor things but the list started to go grow. *Broken porch light *Pet food on the floor and hair on bed. *Bathroom broken shower handle *Bathroom holes in the wall and the shower had hair on the wall when we got there. *A tile was cracked in the bathroom of you rub your hand against it you could feel sharp edges. *Broken light fixture near bed with wires. showing. *Missing outlet cover near the TV with a burnt socket. *I contacted the property manager and was told all the things listed was cosmetic. They would drop off clean linens and fix the face plate the next day. As a mother of two young boys that was not good enough. I went back and forth with this person for the first 1.5 of my stay. I asked for a discount, a new room or refund. I was told there was no rooms and a discount maybe considered the next day. I spend the rest of that night looking for a another place to stay. The next morning I was told I could get a refund for just one day and needed to be out of the room by 11a.m. I was taken back by the lack of care or consideration of the staff. I was given no apology or any accountability for the condition of the room. I tried to at least enjoy the Lakeview short walk to the dock. The beautiful patio area in the picture that looked so welcoming was not a reality. There was trash on the floor. All the light fixtures against the property line were broken so that explains why you couldn't see at night and there was just a turnover table randomly on the path that no one picked up or moved over. Needlessly to say I would not stay there again!
• Vahe (7/5): Good -
• Mingyue (7/5): Well - Location and view Not clean and beds not comfortable
• Mahmoud (9/5): Superb -
• John (6/5): Nice place that’s conveniently located but needs updating and more responsive management - Location is great, with a great view from the balcony and easy walking distance from The Village, with lots of shops, bars and restaurants It was nicely appointed, but somewhat dated and poorly stocked. We asked for an extra set of towels, another roll of toilet tissue and coffee packets and none ever came. Additionally, there was no one to speak to directly about our questions. More lighting would also be nice.
• Garret (5/5): Last time we will stay there. - Close to the lake and village. Dirty, no comfortable chairs, no cable tv, minimal kitchen utincils, no water temp control in shower.
• Dean (9/5): Superb -
• Peggy (7/5): Short, facility was sufficient, location good. - Location, it is sufficient. Priced ok for property. No tub, shower pressure weak.
• Marwan (1/5): This is the last trip with you people - The location was good that is the only thing and everything else was worse than anyone one can imagine filthy bed bugs the bed sheets not clean the bath room oh my god disgusting this the worst trip ever Same as above
• Ayling (10/5): Exceptional - The Staff your in contact with while your up there is Exceptional! Top Notch. The fire going on around us this week. Very difficult to get outside and do activities.
• Briana (10/5): Was a great cabin to stay in with easy access to the lake and local downtown area. - This was a super cute cabin right on the lake that had on property parking. The room was clean and organized with cooking utensils provided. There was also a fan on when we got there that cooled the room off nicely. Not much, the location was great.
• Victor (7/5): Good -
• Bonnie (5/5): Passable - never stayed at the facility, no air conditioning and it was over 90 degrees outside.
• Barker (6/5): Good location but cleanliness leaves much to be desired - Great location, close to town and right on the lake. The beds were also comfortable and the listing was easy to find with navigation. As other reviews stated, the unit was very unclean. Dirt/dust throughout, bugs inside, and the floor was disgusting. I would not stay here again due to the condition of the unit, especially as it seems this is a consistent issue.
• Yvonne (6/5): Average - No lake access Floor was super dirty
• Sherman (7/5): just ok..my next trip i would stay somewhere else.. - location was very nice, overall quiet clean interior. exterior not clean(spiderwebs on windows), items broken inside..missing remote for one of the tv.s bathroom fan broken, sliding glass door lock completely fell apart..unit very dated and not taken care of..not small dog friendly..both bedrooms were upstairs, and just 1 bathroom downstairs..
• Quincy (7/5): Needs some updates for sure - Love how close it was to the lake and how easy it was to walk into the village The bathroom definitely needs to be upgraded. My daughter scorched herself in the shower because we couldn’t get the water to stay consistent temperature. I tried to run her a bath instead because she’s just 10 years old, but we couldn’t get the water to stay in the tub. The kitchen needs some new utensils and pots and pans. It worked for one night but I don’t see how people could stay there longer. There was an old couch in the room that was covered with some sort of animal hair. The beds were comfortable, but the pillows smelled like they definitely needed a good wash.
• Jose (7/5): Good location, needs better maintenance to keep the area clean. - The location was great, very close to the lake It was old, wasn’t clean, there was spider webs everywhere in the house. Many other stuff was old and outdated.
• Jeanette (6/5): Location is unmatched! The room was clean and just okay. - The location is amazing! The ability to have a pet was superb. The place was very clean and large. Needs repairs and updating. Rules posted and felt like Airbnb. Obvious items had broken and not been replaced, just removed.
• Gualberto (7/5): Relaxing and good weekend - As a self check in facility I can’t rate the staff . We never interacted Nice location , comfortable room and amanites
• David (9/5): Superb - Dogs
• Susan (1/5): Bad -
• Amanda (6/5): Relaxing - The location was right near the water and a 6-10 min walk the the Village. I thought the mouse trap was a precautionary measure, but was not made aware that there could possibly be a mouse in the unit. I do understand that we are in the forest and by a lake so it is possible for something like that to happen I would’ve just like to have been made aware.
• Corinna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jim (1/5): RATS, RATS, RATS. - Nothing. RATS IN OUR APARTMENT!!!!!!
• Edward (3/5): Poor -
• Arlene (3/5): Just ok - Location Balcony no chairs very dirty we wanted to sit out on the balcony to enjoy the view had to carry our own chairs upstairs to do that clean up that balcony so dirty
• Joe (1/5): Stay away from this place. - Property is in poor condition. Overall this property needs a renovation top to bottom. Best suited for travelers on the cheap. This property is well overpriced. Drop it from the selection because it will dampen your experience.
• Niyanina (1/5): This Place Is Horrible. Do Not Patronize. Unsuitable For Seniors of Mobility Impaired Individuals! - NOTHING! Horrible Place. Disabled Persons, Seniors, Stay Away! Lack of Maintenance. Cook top range lacked controls. Difficult to Impossible for Elderly, Mobility Impaired or Disabled Customers to use. Clearly Violates American Disabilities Act. Ground filthy the day we visited, litter everywhere. Dock to lake very dangerous in need of repair. Unleashed dogs of other occupants roaming around in a pack made it dangerous for us to transfer our dog. Despite Assurances the management limited one dog to a unit that must be leashed. We visited to have a day of peace after a family member passed away. We NEVER stayed in the room it was so horrible. Transferred and paid again to another property that was quite good. Asked for a refund and they refused as they stated loosing revenue was their primary concern. Not their customer’s happiness. Lousy customer service. DO NOT Patronize this property. NO HAND RAILS On BOTH SIDES of STAIRS. STAIR SURFACE WAS VENTED STEEL for snow melt in the winter. A Hand Cane could not be used as it slipped on the grates. Exceeding DANGEROUS! No Air Conditioning it was Very Hot with just a cheap electric fan in a window to draw the hot air out. Horrible!
• Carlos (4/5): Disappointing - Good Location A/C no worked, room dirty floors
• Gregory (9/5): Superb -
• Mandy (6/5): It's ok for a quick stay - It's right next to the lake, so the views are pretty spectacular. Within walking distance to the village. Also, plenty of parking was in really good placement for the fireworks display on July 4th. The rooms were very clean and it was quiet. Very close to boating activities. Walking in the neighborhood adjacent with my dogs was awesome. The bed was not very comfortable, and the room really needs to be updated. The shower went from hot to cold with no notice. The side panels were falling off in the bathroom. There was not a lot of airflow, and it was hot in the afternoon in july. My upstairs neighbors said their door knob fell into their hands as they were leaving. No air conditioning. I was glad they supplied fans, and I brought some of my own. The television sound didn't work very well, as well as the television was very small. The kitchen had some items for cooking, no knives, really. The park right in front of the unit really needs some care. It would be an excellent place to sit but there was no furniture, it was all broken. Overall, it would be ok for a quick stay, not a lengthy stay. This place is really cute, and a great location, but it really needs some tlc.
