The kitchen was updated and very well stocked with new appliances, utensils and cookware. Sometimes when you rent property in Big Bear, there's a shortage of trash bags, paper towels and basic things. Not the case here. They gave us plenty, which was wonderful. There is a normal drip coffee machine and a keurig, but if you plan to use the latter, bring your own since there weren't any supplies for it. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I chose this property because it had the perfect sleeping setup for our family vacay. It slept 7 adults, 1 teen, 1 pre-teen and 1 toddler very comfortably. The couch is comfy too. One of the parents were relegated to the couch by an angsty teen. There are three bathrooms, but only two have showers, one of which was in the master bedroom. So there's a bit of coordination needed, but no big deal for a two night stay. There are some toys in the kid room that are fun for a toddler. Lots of boardgames, though some pieces were missing. The bathroom in the master bedroom probably could use an update. The other bathroom with the shower was nice. Had a towel heater that was nice for our winter stay. There is a barbeque and a hot tub. Backyard was big enough for frolicking in the snow and building a lumpy snowman. My only suggestion is the lighting in the kitchen and living room. Once the sun goes down, it's pretty dark. It could use some additional lamps throughout the first floor, which is where the family gathers and hangs out. Hard to play games when you can't see. :)
Other than that, the place was perfect. Close enough to stores so you could probably walk if your purchase is small enough. Easy 5 min drive if you don't want to test your lungs against the thin mountain air. I'd stay again.
Quick note! Big Bear Destination check-in is pretty close, so not a big deal going there first. When you check out, I was told I could just leave, but it felt weird just leaving so I just texted them using the number they were texting me with. The check-out instructions didn't mention that, but like I said - it felt weird just to leave, but that's just me.
