Snow for the Grandkids!
So much space! It was lovely to have choices on where to sit and where to eat. The wood fireplace works well and provides the lovely smell of wood burning and the crackles of the wood burning. The outside of the property is gorgeous. It snowed the second day and our grandkids who had never seen snow where enchanted. Very safe as the whole area is fenced in. The owners were very responsive, and the home is well equipped. There are so many kitchen cabinets, you need to search a bit. The forced air heating kept us very cozy. It was great.

Super Relaxing
The house is very comfortable and the back yard is amazing. This is my favorite place to come and relax. The only problem is that they have very bad customer service. Santiago and Marcos are very rude. We never got the TV’s fixed and Marcos is always spying in the back yard, he comes in n out without alerting anyone. By the way Marcos is the maintenance person, very rude

Stunning home and back yard
This home was stunning and immaculate! Complete with many amenities including quality dishes, cooking pans, and appliances. The back yard was truly breathtaking with a Gazebo, running waterfall and creek, lush vegetation, magnificent pine trees in a green grass field. It felt magical.

Perfect Getaway
We loved our stay and were blown away by the beautiful property. The pictures did not do the house justice! The kitchen was fully stocked with every cooking utensil imagined. The backyard was GIANT and had two sleds we enjoyed using. Any questions we had was answered extremely quick and we would love to stay again!

Beautiful home for a family vacation
The house was just as described. Lots of space and beautiful property. It snowed while we were visiting and this created a picture perfect scenery. It’s a little dated in decorations but it gives the house character. I would recommend upgrading the bedding though.

Not having WiFi as promised ruined our trip
My husband is a doctor and he works remotely. Prior to our stay I contacted the property asking about WiFi and other amenities. I was reassured that the property has WiFi. But once we go there the whole thing was down and my husband couldn’t work. My husband ended up leaving on my birthday to go home and finish work. We contacted property manager and they said there’s nothing they could do that day. The next day someone came out and fixed internet but then the last day the internet went down again and had no outside communication. Just a horrible experience. Then the property manager promised a one night refund but when we contacted him about it, he never returned our call. Overall a horrible experience.

Fantastic property
The grounds of this house are amazing...there were so many places for the kids to explore. And the management was super responsive. The gazebo lights weren’t working and the property manager immediately came to come fix it. The amenities were spot on, kitchen was more than well stocked, and bathrooms were clean. It was a perfect little getaway for the long weekend!

Great Property
The grounds are absolutely amazing, even better than advertised. We had a fantastic time escaping the city and having so much land for the kids to play on. We made all of our meals at the house and spent tons of time in the front and backyards. A few things that people should know before coming in: no air conditioning, the bathroom amenities (hand soap in the shower and not body soap) are sub-par, no kleenex at all in the house, the kitchen pots and pans are old and not very clean. When we arrived, these was stinky cheese left in the fridge, dirty socks in the main family room these lead us to believe that the house was not cleaned very well. Which in the midst of the pandemic was uncomfortable especially when they charge a significant cleaning fee,. Upon arrival we wiped down the entire house and upon departure left it cleaner than when we arrived. Further, the ice machine did not work upon arrival, the team was responsive but the lack of wearing his mask while in the home and touching everything without later wiping it down left us uncomfortable. All that said, we loved it and would come back but perhaps not during the hottest week of the year as the upstairs at night was very warm and made it almost impossible to sleep. Also we would bring our own cleaning supplies and kleenex.

The property is beautiful but not very clean.
Kitchen pots and pans were very old and dirty. All their baking dishes had food residue on them. Bedding pillows were very used and smelly. Blinds were dusty, we killed millions of flies. Scary movie was filmed here and bunk bed bedroom very creepy. Yards were beautiful and relaxing especially the backyard

Dream mini vacation
We have stayed here once before and had such a lovely time that we returned again. The location is perfect and the gardens are absolutely beautiful! So many lovely trees are all around and the yard is fenced and perfect for children. The home is truly a home and makes everyone feel cozy. Plenty of room to spread out , wonderful beds and linens and a kitchen that should be in a magazine, Owner is easy to work with and very responsive team helps out during your stay.

Amazing property!
We went with two other families and were immediately impressed with the curb appeal. There is a nice circular driveway that made it easy to drive in and out. The land is spacious and our kids had an amazing time playing in the snow in the expansive back yard. Great location. Close to big bear resort and snow summit. The rooms and common areas were as listed. There were a few things that weren’t as listed (no inflatable bed and no garage access) but the property manager was super responsive when I asked about these things. Would definitely stay here again!!
