Adorable lakeside cabin. Loved the porch, the view and the comfortable cabin.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2023
Overall, very nice. Upstairs beds uncomfortable and wish they had provided bath soap and a small amount of detergent, but otherwise lovely. Back deck lovely to sit and chat, cook on grill and enjoy view of lake and trees. Very clean and lives up to advertising. One missing essential- a cork screw!!
6 / 10Average·Aug 2022
Pros: Beautiful lake view. Nice location near everything. 2-5 minute drive from most anything you'd want. Beds are comfortable and overall place was fairly clean. Definitely would've loved the patio furniture cleaned since SUPPOSEDLY they do a walk through the day you check in. Cons: Quality of the home! Responsiveness of Service guys! Ants were crawling in from a crack in the upstairs bedroom (kids room) wall. This was OBVIOUSLY a known issue since there was TISSUE stuffed in these cracks! I called in the issue as well as emailed, along with reporting SEVERAL windows that didn't work/open. 5.5 hours LATE service guy shows up with stuff that won't work! I told him I reported they were high on the wall and I believe Andrew took the call. Told me they'd bring sticky paper for the wall! The service guy brought us a box of ant poison meant to sit on the floor or flat surface! He said they never put any notes about them being on the wall in his service order. Sooo..NO resolve.. Then the next morning we were called to tell us they just saw a report the kitchen sink was leaking before we arrived. THAT'S what the smell was! We thought the people before us smoked in the house or something. I was assured they'd fix the sink AND the ants/wall on day 2. Sink was fixed, smell gone! But NOT the ants or the wall/tissue. Also, the quality of the 2nd floor construction was scary. Plywood floors and doors. Thin spindles for the balcony. I definitely wouldn't feel safe with young kids up there! All in all, wouldn't stay here again. Don't think I'd use this Destination Big bear company ever again either. Extremely disappointed in the amount of calls and emails I had to make and never did get problem resolved.
