We enjoyed our stay. We brought our classic car for the Big Bear fun run. Cy was great! My exhaust was hitting the speed bump at the entrance and he let me go through the back gate when I went in and out. So I wouldn't scrape my bottom of my car. Cable's good. Bed was nice very quiet. We're going to go back someday.

Great place. Valerie was super sweet and very helpful during check in. The grounds were clean and overall general appearance was great. Our cabin had an overwhelming musty smell. We tried leaving the door open but right in the living room, close to the hallway and bedroom doors, was the strongest smell. I was awake most of the night because it triggered a massive headache. I turned the heat on in the wee hours of the morning and that helped a little with the odor. That cabin must have a mold issue somewhere in the crawl space or the attic. I wanted to report it when we checked out but we only had the option to “express” check out (drop the key) as no one was on site when we left (at 9:35 AM). I probably should have said something when we got in the cabin so partially my fault. But still, there’s no way you couldn’t smell that if you pre-checked the room. My husband doesn’t have a good nose but he could even smell it. I work in property management and don’t use the M word lightly.

We did a late check in after a snowboarding trip and the manager at the front desk was very nice and gave us a lot of attention! It was really cold that night unusual weather around 22 and he also provided an portable heater for us. Thank you for your patience and kindness.

*Pros- Overall the stay was pretty good. Ulysses at the front desk was a great help! When my wife and I checked in we did not have any firewood and he not only gave us for some firewood, he even carried it to the room for us! He was more than helpful! The cabin was nice and upgraded with new cabinets, countertops, flooring, & carpet throughout the cabin. *Cons- When we used the fireplace, the smoke did not all go up it, but rather spilled into the room and we had to open the front door to let the smoke out. I double checked the flu and it was indeed open and there was smoke coming out the top of the chimney. This most likely is due to the inside at the chimney needing to be bored out and cleaned so the smoke can be drawn out of the fireplace and not go into the living room. I also noticed when using the toilet and leaned over,.. the toilet leaned with me lifting off the floor. Apparently it was not bolted to the floor. The ice machine on site was broken and we could not use it. The place definitely has potential once the owner addresses these issues.
