I booked this cabin for my friend's birthday, this was the first time I ever went to Big Bear Lake too, even though I live only 2.5 hrs away in San Diego. The booking was easy with clear pictures very much reflecting the property. Check-in was smooth, with texts received with instructions and immediate responsiveness from the host. Loved the lock box, as I have had to wait for the host to come in to open the door at other properties. The place was clean, well equipped and we particularly enjoyed the outdoors fully fenced out as I felt very safe for my dog to go around the yard off-leashed. Everything was as described, very good wifi and great TV with Netflix and the ability to sign-in to my favorite apps (Prime). The location is fantastic, about 5mins from the Village Shops and the marinas. Rooms were spacious, each bedroom with good mattresses and bathrooms fully equipped too. Coffee was provided as well as some spices and olive oil and a market is 2 minutes away. Everything I would have wanted for sure, and my friend was incredibly pleased. I'll definitely come back and highly recommend this location and host experience.
