Great location right on the lake. We loved the spaciousness and the downstairs game room with pool table. The house was clean, but we had to scrub the outdoor furniture before we could use it, and the outdoor areas were a major part of the stay.

Clarification on the sleeping quarters. Only 1 double bed (with twin bunk) on the main level. If you have people in your party with difficulty maneuvering stairs, they will need to share the one double bed on the main level. Otherwise amazing location. Beautiful cabin and decor.Management company quickly responsive.

Fun lake weekend

We had a great weekend at Big Bear lake. Can’t beat this location in Boulder Bay, we brought our own paddle boards and floats. We also enjoyed fishing and jumping off the dock. There is morning shade as well as late afternoon shade from the trees. We barbecued and ate dinner on the deck with an awesome view. The game room stayed cool all day and our teens loved playing pool. We brought our own fans to cool down the bedrooms at night. We were able to walk to the Castle Rock trailhead to hike. I would definitely recommend this house, it is a great value and had everything we needed.

Beautiful lake front home. Very comfortable furnishings and great layout, with ample room for our party of seven, including three young teens, two adults and two seniors. Our kids loved the bottom floor with pool table and other games. We have stayed in other homes that had little separation of play vs adult spaces, and found this home especially nice because the recreation was on a separate floor, leaving the living room quiet and relaxing for adults. Kitchen was well equipped, but could definitely use a new set of frying pans. There were lots of utensils, but no spatulas. Lastly, the barbecue starter wasn’t working and we had to turn on the gas and use a match, not ideal.The only drawback for us was the very steep driveway that would not accommodate our truck with boat on trailer. We ended up putting the trailer in the parking area up by the road. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to others.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We love that the home worked so well for your whole group, especially the separate space for games and adult relaxation. It sounds like a perfect balance for everyone to enjoy. We really appreciate the notes about the kitchen items, grill starter, and driveway, and we’ll be sure to share them with our team to make things even better. We’re so glad your family had a great stay, and truly appreciate the recommendation. We’d be so happy to host you again!

problems to note

Spectrum TV box for downstairs not functional: moved the functional one from living room to downstairs. Lots of mice running around the house after 9pm. House was marginally clean and vacuum cleaner was left in dining room. BBQ so disgusting we chose not to use it. Beds and pillows were not great - some worse than others. We were provided 2 dishwasher pods and 2 garbage bags for a 4 day stay with 8 people - entirely inadequate so we had to go buy more. The fireplace downstairs not functional ( didn't try the upstairs one but it was very cold downstairs so needed it). The location to take the garbage way too far away in the opposite direction so we actually brought bags of garbage home to Santa Barbara with us - not an ideal situation.
