We rented this cozy home (Fri, Feb 18 - Mon, Feb 21, 2022) for our 1st family vacation to Wrightwood. We have twin 11-year-old boys who were looking forward to snow play & snowboarding. The property is described as “Mountain Home Charm with Beautiful Interior” & my family agrees. The place was spotlessly clean with Samsung appliances throughout. The home is split into two units with one shared wall built as a duplex. We could sometimes hear the other family renting the other unit & I’m sure they could hear us, but overall, was a minor observation & we seemed to be keeping the same wake up/sleep schedule. So, any noise we did hear wasn’t loud & did not take away from our fun experience.
The highlights of the property are the proximity to the resort & downtown area within walking distance, the attic loft bedroom that’s accessed via a ladder was charming & perfect for our boys (tip: don’t put the thermostat too warm since heat rises), the 2 other bedrooms had comfy beds with each having mounted, flat screen tv’s. We had family movie nights in the main living room & could watch streaming videos for free. There was a movie we wanted to watch that cost money that I simply used my phone to access my account & screen shared to the tv. Definite plus having a full-size kitchen with a full-size refrigerator & freezer to store the food & drinks we brought with us. It was nice having all the amenities (i.e., cooking pots, pans, utensils, dishes, mugs, etc.), slow-close drawers, & the dishwasher for our meals. Water throughout the home heats up quickly & no issues with running out of hot water. Another added plus was the full-size, stacked washer/dryer. We brought our own detergent sheets for easy packing and dryer sheets . We enjoyed the home atmosphere rather than the hotel room we were contemplating on staying. The space to stretch out and move around by comparison made our stay much more enjoyable. Compared to the crowds in Big Bear/Snow Summit, Wrightwood ended up being a pleasant surprise for a quiet, relaxed vacation especially since it wasn’t as crowded as we had anticipated for what typically would be a busy 4-day Presidents’ Day weekend.
It was our 1st time using Vrbo & I’m glad we did. The owner, Brian, was responsive, easy to communicate with, & check-in/out was super easy. The price was comparable to other rental properties. I would opt to stay here again in the future & recommend this property to others.
