Found the listing on VRBO and selected dates to stay for approx four nights/five days, check in at 4pm and check out at 10am.
When selecting the cabin and the dates, there was trouble securing the dates selected and had to contact customer service for help/support. Successfully contacted by destination big bear and was able to secure the cabin for the dates selected. Easy process and was able to do everything online after.
Destination big bear allowed me and my party to check in via phone and skip visiting office to pick up any key or codes which was very convenient.
The location of the cabin is moonridge bear mountain? Near the bear mountain resort. The cabin was quiet and tucked away into the mountain. The cabin was cute, looked cozy, and looked big from the street. The parking was distasteful as you have to park in a narrow driveway, not allowing whoever parked first to exit as they please.
Upon entering the cabin, the cabin was open, cozy, and clean. The temperature inside the cabin was stuffy and was irritable. In attempts to cool the cabin down, I lowered the temp on a thermostat inside the cabin, assuming it was an AC thermostat, but didn’t have any luck. The cabin temp read 87° when entering. By the end of the first night it had only dropped to 85°. We had to open all the windows and leave the doors open to attempt to cool the cabin. We were grateful enough to find one box fan inside a closet and used it to bring in cool air that had little to no effect. All ceiling fans remained on for the duration of our stay.
When finally turning in for the night on the first night, a member of my party discovered noticeable stains of an unknown substance within the bed sheets. No other bedding was supplied within the cabin and had to be requested for through destination big bear’s communication line.
The rest of the cabin appeared to be clean and well maintained. The sliding door that opened to the deck was troublesome to work with but was manageable.
The kitchen was fully stocked with equipment to help us cook through our stay.
The restrooms were clean and furnished with necessary towels including hand soap and toilet paper.
The entertainment system was equipped with a hd smart tv that had various options to choose from that included amazon, hbo, netflix , etc but also included published Dvd/movies .
The view from the deck was beautiful. You overlook most of the trees in the area.
Jacuzzi was a plus and was hot!
