Perfect for families

I love this location. Its all about covenant locations and parking when it comes to certain stays. And this one is it. Its not a 5star hotel. Its more of a rustic lodge stay. With all the things you need and some. Its clean, friendly service with prompt response

Location is a selling point. Right in the heart of the village. It’s a small property but very spacious. It a little outdated but for the size and location, it was great. Comes with a full kitchen, gas fireplace, parking. Perfect for a family with kids as there was bunk bed available. Portable ac in the living room and a fan in the main room. Your a minute or so out your door to the village.

This was the perfect place for us for our mountain biking adventure. Location was excellent, walkable, and we rarely had to use our car. The layout of the building is great for minimal noise issues. Although these are older units, the rustic charm was a cool vibe and everything was in working order with no issues at all. Highly recommend!

Excellent little gem in the heart of The Village and just a short walk down the main drag to Pine Knot Marina and a cute playground for kids. The management company was very responsive and check-in and parking was easy. The unit itself hasnt been remodeled, and has original 1970's sink and wood paneling but they did a great job in keeping it clean and adding charming cabin style decor. They have every amenity including drip coffee maker, toaster, fridge, hair dryer and bathroom toiletries. I would stay here again and highly reccomend!

Visited this past week. From the get go, the management company was very communicative and reached out to me several times. I was traveling with my dog they were super responsive with all the questions that I had (and for $20 the whole stay for my dog, amazing). Check in was a breeze since the management company emailed and texted me all the instructions. The unit itself was spacious with a full service kitchen (yes, fridge, stove, microwave, pots, pans, dishes, etc.), a separate bedroom and a roomy living room. The place is less than a 10 minute walk to Big Bear Lake and just steps from the main strip with all the restaurants, shops, movie theater, and bars. Eventhough the unit was so close to all the action, it was nice and quiet. Will definitely stay again.
