Beautiful home. . . ARLO video monitoring?

Wonderful home, floors a little dirty but everything else was fine. Loved having ice and games, used the propane grill but couldn’t figure out the lower fire pit. Kids LOVED the bunk beds! Excellent location and quiet! ARLO was watching? According to the sticker on the door.

Great House

We enjoyed having our coffee on the front patio, and the giant island in the kitchen! The beds were all very comfortable! This cabin is a short drive to all the things we wanted to do, and The Village.

Quick Trip to Big Bear!

Made last min trip to enjoy some fresh snow. The property is as listed and overall a good place to stay. It was a cold storm but I think the heater could be more efficient and wish the WiFi was faster/more reliable.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was as nice as appeared in pics. Not as big as its made to look (in the pics) but laid out well to accommodate most everyone it sleeps (for entertaining purposes; TV, board games). Lots of chairs and spots to eat at. Beautiful front and back yards. Kitchen, Living and Dining room gorgeously decorated, very cozy!

Pre Christmas snow

Our family of five decided upon a last minute trip to enjoy the snow before Christmas. This property was perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Bear Mountain resort. It was well-appointed and very clean. Three huge TV’s! Lovely fireplace. Sleeps 6 very comfortably.
