Heater problem

We had a great time and really like the location but we had a big problem with the wall heater that was most important in winter specially with the kids. Also inside of the the kitchen‘a cabinets were messy and we couldn’t find what ever we need.

Great retreat

Overall, it’s a lovely place to stay. I would definitely come back. Only a couple of issues … The toilet upstairs sounds like the water is running even when not in use. The jacuzzi style spa jets only work intermittently as well as the internet connection even though we were connected to WiFi. All else was inviting. Very spacious and clean. We especially enjoyed the pool table and piano (even sheet music provided!). Just a short walk to the lake, but fishing there is not ideal, very mossy. The Destination Big Bear staff made check-in and out very easy. It was a memorable time.

Amazing place that has everything and still maintains that cozy cabin feel!

Loved the entire stay! Perfect mix of cozy cabin/lake house, with all the amenities. I did have to, change a few light bulbs (found some new ones in the kitchen cabinets), call the manager and have a technician treat the jacuzzi (super helpful and professional; took care of it quickly and to my satisfaction), and re-light the living room furnace pilot light 5 times. There were also some ants in the kitchhen from time to time. Absolutely loved the central AC for the hot days. Proximity to, the lakefront, the Village, Big Bear Marina, everywhere/everything, is ideal. Overall really enjoyed our stay, and will definitely come back next year!
