Ivan, we are pleased to see that you gave 5 dtars are everything but... the location. We are sorry sorry to hear that you didn't like the location of this cabin. Most guests book this home specifically for the location as it has amazing sun sets and amazing views and it's oh so close to the slopes, village and lake. We do our best to inform our guests and be transparent. Perhaps next time a lakefront cabin will work best for you. We will be happy to assist you on your next visit to ensure that the location is optimal.

Great location, far enough from the downtown area, but also a 15 minute drive if you want to go into town.The rooms have plenty of space, are well furnished, and the overall look of the cabin makes it a memorable place to be.Definitely go to this cabin if you are considering a stay in Big Bear.

The house was beautiful.The driveway is kind of crazy, location was great. Master bedroom on the main floor was beautiful, but the bed was way too high for someone disabled, and I had to sleep in the bottom bunk bed across the hall. We stayed a week. The flooring has some issues soft in some places. We had a power outage because of the thunderstorm and had to use our own our own hotspot, in order to get the TV to work again once the power returned all and all it was good

This property has beautiful views and is peaceful. However, the access road coming off main highway was extremely poor. Also, couldn't get an adjustment on AC and it was extremely warm inside. Uncomfortably so which led to an early exit.
Unbelievable customer service. We were in a pickle with a rental that we had to get out of. Last minute, we were able to book this place for our family Christmas. The accommodations made to ensure we could get in and “save the family Christmas” was really increasingly. Very responsive and accommodating! The house had everything we needed, lots of space and incredible views. Fun for kids and pets. Great views from the jacuzzi. Very clean and welcoming. Thank you for helping us make amazing memories!

My family and our friends had such a fun time here! The view is amazing and the donkeys running around were so cute! Property was clean and welcoming. The pool table did have a small hole in felt but was still fun! Hot tub was amazing! The only downer was it was sometimes hard to go in and out of property because of a private gate so you had to take long way around most times. The property management people were SO nice and accommodating! We even had a medical emergency and they were so flexible with us! I would Definitely come again and recommend to anyone!

More of a Ranch Than Lake Vacation
Good space for larger family gatherings. Not being allowed to use the gas fire pit was disappointing, but the hot tub was welcome, especially since lake swimming was not inviting at all. The lake is extremely low and green. The road into the property was nearly not usable unless you have four wheel drive vehicles. We were rescued by a local who allowed us access through the private gate on the navigable dirt road. The wild burros were noisy, but really enjoyable to watch, as were the horses. The setting was away from the busyness of the village, but realitively close to services.

Hello Diane,
We are so sorry that you did not have as pleasant of a stay as we hoped. We wish we had been able to address your issues at the time of your reservation. Your feedback is much appreciated as we are able to better our cabins and our service. It is noted for this property that the road is dirt and that is it further away from the village than the rest of the cabins. We apologize that this was not brought to your attention, we will do our best to bring more attention to the quality of the road leading to the cabin as well as its location. Thank you for taking the time to help us become better. We strive to be the best vacation rental experience in Big Bear and appreciate your feedback. – Big Bear Lakefront Cabins.

Ok, could use some work
Missing a few items, no oven mits, some of the upkeep was questionable. One of the lights in the bunk bedroom started smoking and got very hot. Access is also off a dirt road, there wasn’t snow when we went, but had there been access for non 4x4 vehicles might be questionable. The upstairs beds were all fine, but both the downstairs ones were hard as a rock and could use being replaced. Other than the few issues we all had a great time and it was a fine place to stay.

"We had a great time and it was a fine place to stay" sounds like a wonderful review of this home...
We value your feedback and please rest assured that we take great pride in the Wild Burro home. We have done a thorough walk through to check your concerns and we will reach out directly to you to better understand your concerns, as we were unable to replicate them during our walk through.
All of the beds in this home are newer beds with newer high end mattresses. The memory foam activates upon temperature (body heat) Most guests sleep well on our beds and find them comfortable.
As a note, while traveling to Big Bear Lake in the winter it is always suggested that guests drive a 4 wheel drive in the mountains and we write this in our emails to guests. This home is off a dirt road that is easy to navigate and travel upon, and we do disclose this to all guests prior to arrival.
We will reach out to you directly to better discuss this feedback so that we can make sure that we are delivering the 5 star guest experience that we aim for.
Thank you

Beautiful Mountain Home
The home was in a great location. We had a few issues. It took hours to get a response from the management company. I was told yesterday that a manager would call and never heard back. Black flecks came from the water shower faucet in the bathroom downstairs. We could not use that shower. We tried to use the dryer and there several pieces of gummy candy stuck in the dryer. We cleaned it out but it was still sticky and slimy. A large plank board was loose on the outside of the deck. This is a danger to guests and should be fixed.

Rough and Ready
This property is at the end of a long dirt road that is in rough shape. The property is rough around the edges, but everything was in working order. The steam shower in the main bedroom was great. Hot tub was nice and clean.
Set up and check-in was very cumbersome. They required check in at a third party location and would not give anyone in my party a code and wouldn't allow me to add a secondary person to the listing. I had to change my travel plans to get there early.
Trash: They also make you take the trash off site 8 miles away. They also sent me about way too many emails to get setup. They need to dial in their paperwork.

Hello Matt,
Wild Burro is a great cabin if you are looking for a remote escape! The steam shower and hot tub are magical. We apologize for the issues you had. Unfortunately, an office check in is required by the city and county in Big Bear and not something we can change. It is also required by them for the reservation holder to be the one to check in, we do apologize for the issues but it is not something we can change. We will be sure to clean up the emails and make it more streamline for future guests! Thank you for your feedback. Besides the issues we hope you had a great stay.
