If you’re like me, every time you hit the confirmation button on a rental that you’ve never stayed in before, you’re filled with mixed emotions. A little excitement, and a little bit of anxiety. The excitement of course is in anticipation that the rental space will live up to its advertising and add to the joys of a great vacation or getaway. The anxiety… well, that’s for all the what if’s, oh crud's, and gotcha’s! We were beyond pleased that this rental immediately put any anxieties to rest and did nothing but add to the fun of a great 4th of July vacation in Big Bear. The booking went smoothly, the property assistant that checked us in was extremely kind and flexible with our fluid arrival time, and the owner was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and felt genuinely interested in us enjoying our experience. The cabin was clean, organized, and cared for. The accommodations were very comfortable. The added amenities like the hot tub, wood burning fireplace, fire pit coffee tables on the deck, etc… all were in great working order and made our stay that much more relaxing, and the kitchen was well stocked with all the things a family or group would need to prepare great meals. It was one of those experiences where you feel comfortable the moment you step through the door. The location was perfect as well. Especially during the extremely busy and high traffic time of a Holiday weekend in Big Bear. It was just minutes off the main drag through town and if you’re creative with gps, you can miss all the traffic in town by using the back neighborhood streets (absolute life saver after the 4th of July Fireworks traffic) We loved being on the quiet golf course as well. In addition to the calm, quiet, bird chirping, fresh mountain air, coffee in hand snuggled under a blanket next to the coffee table fire pit on the deck mornings and nights… the kids loved to sit on the deck and appropriately cheer on (golf clap style) any golfers that would come by. All and all, I would highly recommend this cabin. It’s definitely going on my permanent list of repeat rentals the next time I’m in Big Bear. Thank you Lori for sharing your beautiful cabin with our crew.
All our best,
The Carpenters & Demotts
