The Bear Slumbers in Big Bear, spa, WiFi, foosball, pool/ping-pong

Amazing house! Warm welcome with some snacks and a bottle of wine. Everything clean, in the instructions said that we couldn’t leave any trash inside so we even took out the bathroom trash, I was just a bit nervous leaving any trash behind or furniture not in its place. Besides that everything was amazing the room’s spacious and comfortable, the bathrooms well equipped with everything you possibly need and plenty of towels. Loved it!

The house was very nice.

The property is great, there was sufficient kitchen supply for us a big family. The rooms are clean and warm. The property is in a peaceful and well-maintained neighborhood, a little morning walk is refreshing. Checkin and checkout procedure is pretty intuitive.

This was our second time staying in this Big Bear home, and it is a perfect winter getaway. Location is nearby to both ski mountains, the house is clean, comfortable, well stocked and the owners are easily reachable. Teens enjoyed the jacuzzi. We plan to return!

Overall, the place is very nice and well-equipped, albeit outdated. Here are a few little details that are meant as constructive feedback. The bottom bunks are not comfortable for adults. I wonder if the top bunk could be raised to allow more space for person on the bottom? We found a few items that didn't work (can openers - we found three and none of them worked correctly) or needed repair (pool table felt and pocket, which I informed owner about). The pool table and ping pong table are doubling as a dining room table - which is clever and creative, but neither game table is in great shape and the dining room is really too small for these games. This wasn't obvious from the photos but looking at the photos again, knowing the property, I can see the reality. My four stars on "accuracy of online listing" is due to this - photos are accurate but are slightly deceptive. I never imagined the pool table, ping pong table and dining room table were one and the same. And we didn't play more than once because the space was too small and we found it frustrating - plus taking off the ping pong table top to play pool and then have to put it back to eat dinner was inconvenient. The spa did not have a key as indicated in the folder but was a combo lock - folder info should be updated. Had to call owner for combo. Spa appeared clean on the inside but the locking mechanism seemed to have a broken rail.These are all little things so I still gave it a good rating. We enjoyed our time.
