As advertised

Place was everything the post says. Will definitely be back! Recommend bringing extra fans (if in summer time) downstairs stays cool, but all heat is upstairs. Place was great!

Snow Summit Basecamp

This made for the perfect location for our summer bike park adventures at Snow Summit. A quick bike ride to the lifts in a nice cozy group of units. Spacious and clean, a perfect place to unwind after a day filled with outdoors fun.

The beds were not the most comfortable and our kids complained about the bunk beds being too hard and the sheets were scratchy for them. The listing also said a garage for parking but there was no garage, it's all outdoor parking. Fine for us since it was summer but when I saw parking was a garage I was a bit confused on check in. The arcade was nice for our kids to play and a good amount of games was nice. Easy walk to Snow Summit.

Location can’t be beat!

We had a great time on our family getaway at this charming little cabin. The location is amazing, my husband and son were able to bike in a couple minutes to the bottom of Snow Summit and the walk was only 5 min for me. Everything you want to access in Big Bear is no more than a 5 min drive. The house overall is clean and decorated nicely. My 5yr old loved the Pac Man game and bunkbeds in his room! We couldn't get the netflix to work but the cable was fine for our short stay. Thanks!

First time skiing at Snow Summit with 3 kids

This was a great property and had all the amenities of home. We had gone grocery shopping when we arrived and it was great having a fully stocked kitchen with all the appliances that we needed. The property was the perfect location as we were easily able to walk to the base of the mountain and make it to our ski lessons on time. There isn't much room for parking (just a few spaces), but we were lucky in always having a space for my car. My kids truly loved the Pac Man game in their bedroom -- and the bunk beds were perfect for my 3 boys (they all shared a room). My room (the master bedroom) was very comfortable. We skied, ate, watched movies and slept very well. My only suggestion for future guests is to read the instructions very carefully -- it took us a day to figure out that we needed to turn a knob to get hot water; and I felt that the oven is very slow in cooking food for some reason. Other than that, we had no problems. It was a great place and my kids definitely want to go back!

I'm thrilled to hear that your first skiing experience at Snow Summit with your three kids was a great one! It's wonderful that the property had all the amenities you needed and provided a home-like experience. Having a fully stocked kitchen with all the necessary appliances made grocery shopping and meal preparation convenient. The location of the property, allowing for an easy walk to the base of the mountain, must have been incredibly convenient for your ski lessons. I'm glad you were able to find parking spaces for your car despite the limited availability. The Pac Man game in the kids' bedroom sounds like a hit, and the bunk beds were perfect for your three boys. Comfortable accommodations can make a big difference in a memorable trip. It's great to hear that you all enjoyed skiing, eating, watching movies, and sleeping well during your stay. I appreciate your suggestion for future guests to read the instructions carefully, as it took you a day to figure out the hot water knob and the oven's slower cooking time. Paying attention to details can certainly enhance the overall experience. However, I'm glad that these minor issues didn't cause any major problems. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback, and I'm delighted to hear that your kids are eager to go back. I hope you have the opportunity to return for another fantastic stay and create more cherished memories together on the slopes!
