8/10
We loved the house! The house is Fully stocked with everything you need inside. Location was great too … close enough to down town, attractions, but far enough away to feel secluded when you’re at the house. The property is well maintained and everything is as advertised in the listing. House is charming with modern updates like AC in the upstairs bedrooms and a fun game room and a hot tub which we enjoyed. We enjoyed the town and all of the fun stuff for kids and families to do. We had a great trip!
For the price, It would have been nice to have out door games, kayaks, canoe, fishing poles, or something to do while outside. If you’re not enjoying the inside of the home… you need to bring your own outdoor activities.
Also just a note about traveling to Big Bear ….Do your research about the lake if you have expectations of swimming. We were unaware of the algae, low lake levels, and of the Big Bear municipality’s lake/swimming rules and regulations which changed most of our trip.
We booked this house thinking we would be able to enjoy being in the lake with our kids. We had envisioned the kids playing on the shore in the water and swimming in the lake. We couldn’t do this because of the algae and low lake levels. We wish we would have researched this more.
According to many people in BB, at this time of the year, it’s hard to find a place to safely swim because of the lake levels….. We ended up renting a boat from the marina one day but couldn’t dock it at the house (per the marina) and also couldn’t swim off the boats. Swimming is only permitted a short distance off of beaches and docks per BB municipality. We drove around checking out many beaches and swimming areas and they were not an option.
We were really disappointed that we didn’t know this before we traveled…. if you have swimming in mind and the levels are low… we just suggest researching this first. We spent most of our days away from the house doing other activities.
Again, overall the house is great and the listing is accurate and as advertised!
