We loved it! A little rough to find in waist deep snow (how can we complain about that), but once we got in, it was just what we needed.

Location great! Cleanliness...not so much

I booked this property for my daughter's 16th birthday ski trip. While the location is absolutely fantastic, with just a short walk to the slopes, the cleanliness and repairs that are needed for this property are overwhelming. The pictures online are wonderful, but I should have headed the advice of other reviewers when they commented on the cleanliness of the property. I did alert the property manager, Rosemary, and she was very attentive and offered to have someone clean it immediately, however, the property should have been in ready condition upon our arrival and I didn't want to be disturbed with hours of cleaning that were needed. I took pictures of all of the items that need to be addressed and shared them with Rosemary. It doesn't look like I can share them with this review, so I will attempt to describe the conditions: - Kitchen sink faucet doesn't retract and is difficult to move to either side of the sink. - Dirty and stained carpet and couches - Layer of dust of top of refrigerator - Streaks of something coming down on some kitchen cabinets - holes in walls that have been patched, but not textured or painted. - Filthy baseboards - Mantle was half dusted (you can actually see that they dust around the objects, not remove them to dust) - Filthy Air Vent upstairs that hasn't been cleaned in months, possibly year. - Master Bedroom bathroom sink doesn't drain properly - Crud in the corners of both showers - My children found hair in the sheets - may or may not have been from static, but based on the other conditions, I had my reservations. - The bunk bed on the left is unsafe. It has only 4 slats and particle board. The slats are not permanently placed, you can actually move them around. The other bunk has the normal slats that are required for safety. - Many of the cookware and inside cabinets were not cleaned properly. Had to wash everything before using, except the coffee mugs and glasses seemed useable. - Underneath each sink was dirty and they left the toilet bowl brush just sitting at the bottom of each bathroom sink along with other crud that was left. - They left only a 1/4 roll of paper towels and no extra T.P. in the master. I'm glad I brought both with me. - The window downstairs would not lock. I found a wooden dowel to use to secure it. For the amount of money spent, I expected so much more. I have never written a bad review on VRBO, but I just hope this warns others.

Comfortable but disappointed

Overall our stay was just fine -- the place was as pictured and we didn't have any issues getting into the unit or during our stay. The issues I have are with the charges & deposits. The owner requires a reasonable refundable security deposit, which is fairly standard. What is surprising is that in addition to that, they require you to either purchase an insurance policy or make another very large deposit. I wouldn't have minded that as much had the unit been in better shape. It's decently maintained but smelled quite a bit of smoke and the hot tub was not clean. The kitchen also lacked some basics -- salt, pepper, cooking oil. And the place needs more towels. Location was good (especially if you ski) and the bedrooms were comfortable. Just quite simply, for all the money required up front, I would expect it to be pristine!

Escape Condos

This condo community is as close as you can get to Snow Summit Resort. Good location and easy access to town and shopping. Condo community is in a beautiful green tree setting, which we enjoyed, being from Arizona. The condo owner is trying hard to maintain the unit and is very cooperative. The cleaning person, which we never saw, did not do a thorough job as dust and small items were found on the floors, especially in the bedrooms. We used the town laundromat as the washer/dryer took several hours to clean each load. The patio is in need of repaving and the dirty grill needs to be removed. But, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would probably stay here again. It is a very quiet and lovely setting and we enjoyed our stay.

Great weekend getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay at this townhouse. The location is outstanding and we never moved our cars once we arrived. Big Bear was inundated with the most snow ever in January so not having to drive was a huge plus. The amount of snow seemed to overwhelm the town so plowing etc. was not done in the townhouse complex but it was definitely understandable. Rosemary was awesome and excellent at communication before, during and after our stay! We will definitely rent this place again when we return to Big Bear!

Nice place. Walk to lifts.

The place was nice. Could sleep 8 in beds or 10 using the pull out couch. We liked the location to Snow Summit- my kids walked back from boarding all day. I think the place could use another couch in the living room not enough seats past 5 people unless you count sitting at the kitchen table. Fireplace is gas/logs so no need for wood. There is a small washer/dryer which helped with wet gloves. I would rent this place again. The owner was great to talk too and the office staff was great as well.

Great place and very convenient.

The townhouse was very convenient and close to Snow Summit. We took a walk with our snowboards and gear towards the back of the community and met up with the bunny slopes of the resort. It was nice to just come back to the cabin have a drink and lunch and head back out to the slopes without having to drop tons of money at the resort. My wife was able to stay at the cabin and relax while I hit the slopes without leaving her without a vehicle to get around. The sleeping arrangements matched perfectly for our group of 9 (7 adults / 2 children). For dinner we grilled some steaks on the outside BBQ, turned on the fire place, and drank some wine. The humidifier in the master bedroom was a plus. Also the patio was a nice size which allowed us to let our gear dry out without getting in the way. All in all the cabin was really great and we really enjoyed our stay here. The only minor thing was the BBQ's grill was a little dirty but no biggie, I just poked some holes on some aluminum foil and placed it on top of the grill. We will definitely come back and stay in this cabin in the future, maybe for mtn biking season.

Great location with fair accommodations

The apartment was convenient, clean and roomy. Heater worked well and was a 10 min walk to the base of snow summit. The overall condition of the place was a 3.5/5 and no real updates since the 80s (other than the TV). Not that big a deal to me, but may help with expectations. Only real complaints were: - obtaining the parking pass, which was two different stops and required a prolonged explanation to the management company that managed all the condos except this one and two others. - The pull out sofa bed is literally springs to sleep on. Not recommended. - path was not shoveled and appeared neglected by owner/manager of the apartment. All other paths were shoveled clear and salted. I would stay again, however I would have fewer people, as the pullout couch is not useful to sleep on.
