We had a wonderful 8-day stay and would absolutely recommend this home and host. The house was comfortable, well set up for families, and exactly as described. It was clear a lot of thought went into making it a welcoming, fun, and functional space.The perimeter fencing was nice for our 75-lb dog to explore during the day, although I should note that the yard is not separated into front and backyard spaces. At times, our dog would go out the back door and want to come in through the front door, even at night. There isn’t a way to fully contain a dog in just the backyard, but once we understood the layout, it was manageable and our dog loved the size of the yard.The location is excellent. It’s quick to get onto the main road, an easy walk to Big Bear Mountain Brewing (we recommend the Cuban sandwich), and great for neighborhood walks with a dog. The area still feels open and we even spotted a bobcat across the street one morning, which was a fun Big Bear moment.The kitchen is well equipped and made it easy to prepare several meals at the house. We also appreciated the layout of the home, with the upstairs and game room being more separate, allowing the kids to get loud while adults still had a quiet space.While no one hopes for an issue during a stay, we did have a toilet flood, and the hosts were incredibly responsive, with a plumber there within an hour, which was very reassuring.Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again!
