We rented big bear cabin for a week.. the cabin was as advertised. Not great, but not bad. Back porch/yard area was awesome, great views. Cabin was pretty clean overall, bathroom and kitchen clean also. There’s allot to like about the place,, layout, neighbourhood and proximity to Lake City. However, there are some things that need to be addressed.. The upstairs loft smelled of urine and there were visible mouse droppings next to what appeared to be some sort of mouse trap. There is a squirrel living in the ceiling of the TV room, not a safety concern, just a little disturbing.. you can hear it at all times. The cabin is a duplex, with only a locked door separating the two units,, we were annoyed and distracted by how easily the renters of the adjoining cabin were heard, there is no sound mitigation and we heard every word they said, especially over night, very annoying. We were awoken by a bear attempting to enter the unit through the back sliding door, good times. Some other things that could be easily improved- the lack of handle on the inside of bathroom door , lack of ample trash bags, toilet paper, dishwashing and clothes detergent. Overall, we had a great time,, would definitely return if the above issues were to be resolved.
