Poor cleaning
Im very frustrating with this house and the management
First it all, the house was not clean the way that should be, specially with covid
When we check in the property management told me that i need to wash all the dishes, pots, etc
I get very surprise first because if the price of the house, then because of covid.How you can trust that the guest are going to clean everything good?, what about sanitization ?
So when we get at the house, we start preparing lunch and all the utensils were dirty, with food, totally disgusting.I contact the management and she inmediatly started to argue with me( by text), that was water spot on the utensils and plates, glasses... all
The she sent the housekeeping, an hour later
Because of the poor cleaning house proceed i decido to startd cleaning the whole house!
Because of we were waiting for 2 friends we stayed at the house, if not we were living on the moment that we discover how dirty was, with no sanitization of course.
The barbecue was so dirty ider !!
I need a refund, im going to fill a complain in regards of the covid sanitization with the city, this is an acceptable in this time with covid.
This management is a disaster
I have texts and pictures with me
Im going to send a formal letter in the next few days
Thanks

Perfect Big Bear Home!
This is our favorite Big Bear home to date! It's very well-maintained and cared for, which is not always the case with Big Bear rentals. We loved the open floor plan (you can cook and watch kids in the living/dining room) and the game room in the basement, so the adults could watch tv and be louder after the kids' bedtime. Everything was very user-friendly (code to enter home rather than keys, all light switches labeled, etc). The neighborhood is wonderful and quiet. The owner was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We would return in a heartbeat! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A Relaxing Retreat
Knollwood Retreat was the perfect setting for a couple of days away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. The check-in process with Thomas at A-Kenn's Key & Lock was super-easy, and the house was clean and beautifully appointed. There are easy-to-follow instructions for everything (though the volume for the TV was a challenge), and all the essentials were provided. We would definitely stay there again!

100% recommend this home
This is a fantastic home! We had a large group of 10 people and it allowed everyone space and a variety of places to hang out. We loved having the downstairs game room with foosball and pool table.The outside yard is large and has a horseshoe pit and of course we enjoyed the hot tub and propane grill. The home is relatively new and is in top notch condition. It was immaculate when we arrived and the kitchen is thoroughly stocked with everything you need. The location is walking distance to Holloway Marina and approx. 10-15 min. to the Village.
I have stayed in many home rentals and this was one of the best we have experienced.
