Big Bear Weekend Getaway in June 2026
Pros:

The location is great! I loved the view and that you can walk out abmnd sit outside near the lake and create a bond fire at night!

Cons:

The place is a bit dated like chipped paint, bathroom shower knobs were chipped and hard to turn, there was a horrid smell of gas like odor that lingered throughout our stay. The mattresses were foam like and not real beds.

Pros:

Belle localisation en bord de lac .
Logement très spacieux , possibilité de cuisiner , coin cuisine bien équipé .
Literie confortable .

Cons:

Nous avons trouvé des chaussettes dans un lit ,donc dans les draps censés être propres...
La salle de bain est un peu vieillotte, le lavabo n'a pas de bonde ,plusieurs bouchons de dentifrices étaient tombés dans le trou.
Au rez-de-chaussée on entend les mouvements de l'habitation au-dessus .

The Lakeside slide was great. Easy access to your vehicle, either the front of the house or in the back provided by the location.

Cons:

Bed was too hard. Not enough windows on the location that you guys provided for me hot room, not enough circulation.

Pleasant overnight stay.
Pros:

Good location and nice view of the lake. Best price in the area.

Cons:

Sofa is worn out, not comfortable. There should be a bath mat in the shower for safety. Property needs some updating.

Pros:

I liked the fact it was so close to the lake

Cons:

That you had to check in at 4. Its a kinda late check in and you have to be out by 11. We're not even there for 24 hours.

My experience was getting carbon monoxide poisoning and it was scary and dangerous.
Pros:

Over look to the lake was nice

Cons:

Me and my husband check in later in the night. When we were ready to head to bed. My head started hurting really bad! I thought it was elevation. Turns out around 10:30 the carbon monoxide alarm started going off. Ended up going to the hospital and had elevated levels of carbon monoxide. I believe it was due to the heater in the room.

Very cute spot at an unbeatable location
Pros:

The location is hard to beat

Cons:

The mattress is some version of memory foam, which is great on paper, but a bit jarring if you're not accustomed to that type of mattress.

Comfortable
Pros:

The staff was friendly. The facility was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The 4 o’clock check in is unreasonable. Your day is half over before you can get in the room.
