Amazing Place!

We loved our stay at this fantastic property in Big Bear. The photos, although beautiful, really don’t do it justice. The house itself is amazing, but the real selling point is the views. If you love beautiful view s of the lake and mountains, and Eagles dive bombing for fish, this is the place to go. So relaxing, so beautiful. The response time was fantastic and we felt very well taken care of at all times. Thank you, we look forward to returning!

We rented this house on the lake for my husband’s 50th Birthday weekend. It was perfect! Everyone had their own room with bathroom. Views of lake from every room since your on the Point. Super clean and pristine. We were all in awww and impressed. Pandora greeted us upon our arrival and showed us all the in’s and out’s of the place since there is soooo much! We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you for the hospitality!!

Beautiful property to stay by the lake

The stay was great. Even though the check in process was a little long, Pandora explained everything in details and showed us how to use the fire places and hot tub. The kitchen got everything one needs. There was beautiful sunset and plenty of spaces to share and enjoy.

AMAZING

It all starts with an amazing owner, Lorri, who was so professional, warm and welcoming with her friendly smile. Pandora, the property coordinator, was extremely friendly and thorough in showing us how everything worked. The house is in an amazing location on the lake with views of the lake and mountains from every corner. Everything worked beautifully and we had a blast. Amazing comfort, day and night. Beautiful sunsets! We spent most of our days outside: Breakfast on the deck, dinner by the fire pit and Jacuzzi and Kayaking in between. The air conditions worked great during the very few hours that we needed them and there was plenty of hot water for all of our daily showers, etc. This was an AMAZING stay and you can bet we will come back.

Relaxing weekend with friends

Overall the house is in a perfect location with stunning views from almost every room. The outdoor spaces are incredible and I appreciated the communication with Lorri. The check in process though was over the top. This is the first time I have ever stayed at a VRBO where I had to provide my birthday, the names and birthdays for all my guests, and license plate numbers. There were also A LOT of rules. I understand some of those rules are Big Bear rules but we definitely felt inhibited by the not being allowed to be in the hot tub after 10 pm and no outdoor music. Lastly, the tour by Pandora upon check in was too in depth. We are capable of finding where the extra toilet paper is in each bathroom. After a long drive with lots of traffic we wanted to relax and enjoy the house instead of going through a 30 minute walk through. When we tried to hurry along tour, since we were starving, she got frustrated with us and wouldn't let us hurry up the tour. She was helpful but it felt very unnecessary. As someone who values privacy we felt uncomfortable with the pre-check in materials. The actual home was stunning and had everything we were looking for. Thank you!

Amazing place!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend get away!! What a beautiful place!! Very clean and well laid out! We had a couple snags that Lori dealt with immediately and we loved Pandora who gave us the tour of the place on arrival and even shared some of her homemade apple butter with us!! There were gorgeous views from every room in the house and we had no desire to go anywhere else. We even made use of the hot tub with snowy hillsides in the background. The only thing I wish we could’ve taken advantage of was the amazing patio with the fire pit! It was just too cold outside! The kids were thrilled with the flat grounds for building a snow fort and the slopped private driveway for sledding! But renters take note… even if chains aren’t required on the main road, you may need them to get up the driveway after some snowfall. They do have a person who plows the driveway but it was still too icy for one of our cars and we needed to call in reinforcements. Lol! But we made it out okay and have wonderful memories of our New Year’s Eve there!! Thank you so much Lori!!

Amazing property with a view that can't be beat. The house itself was comfortable with lots of areas for relaxing and hanging out. We had six adults and one child with us. My 6 year old son had a great time down by the beach, fishing with his uncle, while the rest of us sat around the fire pit and watched. The hot tub on the deck was lovely during sunset. Lorri was a great communicator in the beginning and was available if we needed her throughout our time there.

Honestly couldn’t ask for a better experience. The house was spacious, beautiful and clean. Upon arrival, check in was seamless and easy. Amenities were up to date, more than enough space for my 8 guests and me (easily could sleep more) and the views off the balcony made for the perfect photo op! Great home for a big group for sure. It’s also in a great location if you want to be the village and the slopes. I highly recommend. Thank you :)
