Great Place for a Vacation!

I really enjoyed staying at this property. It was comfortable, they provided everything I needed, and when I had an issue with the stove, they immediately came and fixed it. The pool was lovely, the grounds were clean and there was ample outdoor space for me to walk my dogs away from other clients staying there. It was close to the lake, close to shops and restaurants and a very nice place all around!

Enjoyed ourselves and this was a great basecamp for activities in the Big Bear area. The cabins are pretty dated, but that adds to their charm and the experience. The staff was great and very accommodating. Would definitely stay there again.
