We had a wonderful time at the Rocky Road House! It was extremely clean and super spacious for our family of 14 (8 adults ranging from 76 to 18, and 6 kids from 17 to 9). The game room and the downstairs living room was where the younger kids spent most of their time, and the adults had the large main living room. The loft was huge and was a great place for the teenage girls to sleep and have their own space. There was plenty of comfortable beds for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed; pots, pans, bowls, dishes, utensils, soap, etc. The dining table was large enough for all. The plus for the kids (and adults) were the deer coming up to our deck for food, which provided at the house. At one point we counted 18 deer patiently waiting to eat.
Big Bear for skiing and tubing was about 5+ minutes away, with a restaurant and a small food court. It was very convenient if someone wanted to come back to the house and go skiing later.
We had a glitch on not using the electronic lock correctly, but Cindi answered right away and we were able to get into the house.
There is a small marketplace at Big Bear for essentials; milk, bread, eggs, cold cuts, etc, some groceries. The supermarket is about 25 minutes away , a pleasant drive in the mountains.
It was a wonderful family vacation, and would highly recommend staying at the Rocky Road House. The owner and Cindi has seen to all the details that a family would need to have a comfortable and terrific time!
