Heart broken celebration
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

I booked this place to celebrate my 79th birthday. After loosing both my son and then my husband of 59 years. The place looks nothing like what the picture shows.. I was not expecting foo foo items. But I did expect a cozy little cottage as shown in the picture. I was greatly disappointed that you don’t even get bedding sheets pillows of any kind. The kitchenette is nothing more than a camping sink in the same room as the bed. It was dark, not welcoming at all, not to mention enem the front door had an issue opening. I did not stay here and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it for anybody else very deceiving advertisement

Pros:

That it is in Big Bear.

Cons:

I should have zoomed in on the pictures. I would have possibly seen the tape everywhere, ceiling outlets exposed, electrical wall panel exposed, water heater exposed, toilet plumbing coming through ceiling from upstairs, every flush every water use, neighbors...you can hear everything which means they hear everything. The pizza place next door....no. For the future, I'm going to try and stay away from the places that are run by certain owners and the people they employ. Tulip lane, village cabins and boulder bay, no no no. Im a local . I go up a lot. Fishing. Family.

Pros:

I really loved the location and loved how cozy it was.

Cons:

The only thing I didn’t like was that it was a little complicated to find since it’s near other cottages and I had to contact the property to help and they didn’t seem too willing but after a bit we got some help and enjoyed our stay.

It was a nice stay but I suggest provide people with the essentals
Pros:

It was a big cottage with lots of room

Cons:

I did NOT like that they do NOT provide sheets, blankets, pellows or towels. When you rent places, they always provide those essentials. I never received the email so I had to pay extra money in order for then to provide us with those essentials and they still didn't give us enough so I had to use my jacket as a blanket.

Horrible
Pros:

Upon checking into this establishment, I noticed a lot of duct tape and electrical tape being used to hold things together. They used flooring that you would normally walk on for wall coverings. The place cleanliness was not cleaned at all. It looks like they made a puzzle piece with putting the toilet back together. As far as the base this place provided, no towels. No type of amenities, nothing. Anybody. Working maintenance for this place should be fired immediately as I am a 26 year superintendent for a large construction company

Cons:

Would would have been better is if this place was demolished and basically put all the way to the ground. They need to rebuild this place and start from the ground up. Horrible horrible horrible establishment. I will be contacting the county and some people that I know in the county to red tag these facilities
