    The place was nice, had everything we needed. The neighborhood was lovely to walk in with our dogs. Beautiful homes and cabins and very quiet! Queen Bed downstairs was comfortable but King upstairs was a little hard. The jacuzzi was nice and relaxing but the chairs by the fire pit were wobbly and we were afraid to sit in them. There is no AC so be prepared to be Hot in Summer months. Ramla was very accommodating when we asked for early/late check in & out.

    Such an amazing time with the family! Freddy and his team were phenomenal!! Would do it again in a heartbeat!! Family absolutely loved it!! Thank you Freddy & team!

    we are very much appreciated of help of Freddy and all other staff , pre/during/post stay in a cabin has the best location , very happy to chose bigbearvacations

    This is a gorgeous, well appointed cabin. The beds were uber comfortable. The lower, covered deck is my favorite spot to drink coffee (when not in the Jacuzzi)! The kitchen is great and the stove and microwave new. It's about a 10 minute drive from main street downtown (Pine Knot Ave.). We really had a great time. The covered Jacuzzi and oversized deck was luxurious! Freddy was out point of contact and he was on-it - super responsive and helpful

    Junk in the corner for that added touch.

    Grand Swiss * Absolutely Stunning Estate -- A Family Experience to Remember!…read more From the moment we arrived, Bella at Destination Big Bear made us feel so welcomed with a thoughtful gift basket filled with goodies. It was such a sweet and unexpected touch that immediately made us feel at home. It truly set the tone for our stay, and we genuinely appreciated the kindness and thoughtfulness behind such a warm welcome. This Destination Big Bear GRAND SWISS CHALET ESTATE was absolutely incredible! From the grand patio and entrance and beautiful wood beams, to the luxurious bathrooms and thoughtful modern details, no expense was spared. It felt more like a private five-star resort than an VBRO. The first floor featured a gorgeous kitchen with two islands and two sinks, ice maker, huge Thermador oven/stove, large fridge, spacious dining and living areas, a theatre room, and beautiful views from the kitchen of the towering green trees and fresh scent of the forest the minute you step from the kitchen, out to the backyard. The outdoor patio, the tranquil view, the grassy area and the beauty of the mountains became the heart of our family gatherings. The second floor had four modern beautifully decorated spacious king bedrooms, with warm and inviting amenities in every room. Each came with luxurious private bathrooms featuring marble walk-in showers and freestanding soaking tubs, wood beams throughout, fancy faucets and hardware. Everything felt exceptionally high-end. The third floor was a fantastic entertainment space with shuffleboard, card table, TV media area, bar space, refrigerator, ice maker, sink, and plenty of room to gather. Two additional queen bedrooms included a twin bunk in one. Perfect of the young adults and teens. Each floor featured spacious balconies overlooking either the grand drive-up entrance and breathtaking landscape of the trees that surrounded us, or the peaceful backyard, where hiking trails stretched beyond and curious squirrels would venture into view. What made this stay so special was having enough room for everyone to cook, laugh, play, relax, watch movies, and simply enjoy being together. We never felt the need to go anywhere--the estate itself was truly the experience. Perfect bonding time with family. Beautiful, luxurious, peaceful, and incredibly well thought out estate, with so much space inside and gorgeous landscape outside. We are so grateful for the memories and would absolutely return and highly recommend!! Thank you, Grand Swiss Chalet and Destination Big Bear! One of THE BEST unforgettable family vacations we've ever had. We will definitely be back!!

But when we texted her she would immediately text back, so we called her again thinking she would answer. Nope, ignored us again. Now that I'm reading reviews I see this is an ongoing issue with her, seems she has no problem being rude when hiding behind a screen. We vocalized that the cabin was messy upon arrival, Wi-Fi wasn't working we spent an hour setting that up. We had problems with the heater not working during our stay. She insisted that it was clean because she checked personally. If that is your perception of clean than you must live in a pig pen. She was completely dismissive about our concerns. I've read the reviews and whenever there's a bad one she's always defensive. So I'm sure she'll make up a story as to why nothing is her fault, but if this helps deter anyone out there not to book with Holly then I'm happy. Don't get me wrong the cabins location was great, but that's the only nice thing I have to say.

The location is perfect!!! In the middle of the Village and Snow Summit, but secluded enough to feel the serenity of a vacation. The cabin itself was spotless and beautiful, and there are TWO hot tubs!! Plus, we didn't need to trek out to the Snow Play area because the backyard had a small hill we could sled down...we even saw others sledding down the street that the cabin is located on! Seriously couldn't have found a better place...it was meant to be:). Thanks to Grampa Mike, my boyfriend and I had the best intro to Big Bear...we hadn't vacationed in awhile, and this was just what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle for a few days. I won't stay anywhere else...BESTEVER!!!

We were a few days away from closing escrow on a house in Big Bear when we started looking for property management companies. Based on the 100% positive yelp reviews and great initial conversation with Miguel, we decided to go with CA Mountain Rentals to help us manage the property. Immediately paid off. The day after we signed paperwork with him (which was also the day we were to transfer the funds and close escrow on the house), Miguel decided he wanted to stop by the new place to check it out (a testament to his thorough nature... we didn't ask him to stop by, he just did). When he did, he noticed something that our realtor, property inspector, and seller/sellers agent all failed to mention or notice... the fact that both the parking spots and a decent portion of the stairs were built on city property, meaning it would not be allowed in the vacation rental program (a big part of the equation for us), and the city could tell us at anytime that we needed to rip the stairs down and move THE MOUNTAIN about 12 feet back, probably a 6 figure, months long project! After confirming this with the city (also coordinated by Miguel), we were able to get our deposit back and walk away. We were roughly an hour from going to the bank to wire the money when Miguel called to let us know. Major bullet dodged. Original real estate agent fired. Enter EXP realty. Working with Miguel & Amber on the real estate purchase side was equally fruitful and easy. They were incredibly responsive & insightful about the local market, introduced us to contractors, and even went by the local Spectrum office for us to help get internet setup when the corporate office was being uncooperative! We just closed escrow on a new (and much nicer) house 60 days later and couldn't be happier. Needless to say, they've gone above and beyond and it's been a pleasure to work with them. We couldn't recommend them highly enough, and look forward to doing business with them for a long time.

The cabin was beautiful, incredibly spacious, spotless, and more than large enough for all of us to be comfortable. It was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, and we were welcomed with a lovely fruit and chocolate basket, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home. The location was perfect--just minutes from Big Bear Lake and close to everything we wanted to do. But what truly made this stay unforgettable was the level of service. I honestly don't have enough words to describe it. You simply don't expect this kind of care and attention. The team was available 24/7 and always just a text message away. One evening, we had an issue with the outdoor barbecue while grilling dinner. Within 10 minutes, someone from engineering arrived to inspect it. They realized it couldn't be fixed on the spot, and just 10 minutes later they returned with a brand-new barbecue! That level of responsiveness and commitment to making sure their guests have a great experience is something you rarely find. Every interaction made us feel valued, and it was clear that guest satisfaction is their top priority. This was truly one of the best hospitality experiences we've ever had. I cannot recommend Cool Cabins enough. Whether you're visiting as a couple or, like us, with a large family and young children, you can book with complete confidence. We had an amazing stay, and we'll definitely be back this winter to experience the beauty of Big Bear covered in snow. Thank you Alisa and your team for making our trip so special! Alessia

On the wildlife issue: Whether it was rodent or bat droppings isn't the point -- either way, it's a health and safety hazard, and that's what my review addressed. On timing, we were told cleaning was signed off around 3:40-3:50 PM and we weren't given access to the unit until nearly 4:00 PM. By the host's own timeline, that leaves only a 10-20 minute window for this to have happened after cleaning -- or the unit wasn't properly cleaned to begin with. Either way, it should have been caught before a family with small children moved in. As for the house rules disclosing general wildlife possibility in Big Bear: a blanket disclosure doesn't excuse an active, uncleaned health hazard in the room our kids were about to sleep in. On "solution after solution": When we first called the property's staff, we were told there was no reported active issue at the unit -- no remediation or transfer was offered at that point. It was only after we contacted Airbnb support directly that a possible move to another property came up, and by then we chose to stay with family instead rather than lose more time getting our kids settled. To be clear, we never requested compensation, a discount, or anything beyond the refund for the booking we could no longer stay at and the playpen deposit. The mention of a future discount, and later a free stay at the owner's personal cabin, were both raised unprompted by her staff and the owner -- I only followed up to ask about the discount after her team had already brought it up, and we ultimately declined the cabin offer. On the Venmo/deposit point: This wasn't in my original review because it wasn't relevant to it; the owner raised it. For accuracy: we received both the Airbnb refund and the playpen deposit refund in full. The mismatch was in urgency -- the deposit was requested and paid promptly to get our kids settled, but getting it returned took three follow-up messages over a full day before it was processed that night. On the unannounced visit: While I was upstairs on the phone with Airbnb support trying to resolve this, the host sent an unfamiliar man to the property without confirming who was there or where. My wife and our two young children were downstairs. Regardless of exact positioning, having a stranger show up unannounced during an active safety complaint is not okay. On the personal outreach: We heard nothing from the owner personally until after this review was posted. At that point, she called, left a lengthy voicemail, and sent numerous long texts to my personal phone. Some of what was shared in that contact was inappropriate and unrelated to the situation, and I won't detail it here out of respect for her privacy -- but the manner and timing of it were unprofessional. Our original review reflected an accurate, factual account of what happened. We stand by it and won't be engaging further in the comments.
