Perfecto para una familia de 4
Pros:

Que esta cerca de todo especialmente del village, mis hijos con una sonrisa y amaron sentarse frente al lago

Cons:

Solo fue incomodo con los huespedes del segundo piso empezaron a caminar y caminar despues de 10pm hasta 1.30am se escuchaba mucho los pasos ... eso nos desesperó a nosotros...

it's a sleeping room. get out and get busy, come home tired.
Pros:

it was clean, and the heater worked.

Cons:

I've renovated slums from crap to tolerable, and this makeover does not quite achieve that.
I understand the challenges of taking over a new property, it does look like someone is trying.
for a hundred bucks, though, I won't complain. I'll even try it again.

The best relaxation time I’ve had in a very long time
Pros:

I actually like the entrance how they just send you a code and confirmation to your phone check in and you don’t really have to deal with people especially if you’re like a getaway. I really like that the scenery was nice. The view was excellent.

Cons:

It was very nice. The room was nice and as I said before, the view was excellent and I really like that if I ever win any type of free night state, it would be there in big Bear.

Pros:

I enjoyed my stay. Lake view was amazing. My dog had a great walk...got his paw wet.

Cons:

Only issue was the power outage from 9am... was not able to make breakfast. Went for a walk hoping for the energy to return but it did not. Left outdoor and most shops and restaurants power was out. One restaurants was open without power. , Alpine Country coffe shop. Very friendly waiters and cook. Power came up around 3pm for them. Headed back to my room and power had returned too.
