Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best properties we stayed at during our 6 weeks touring the US. Property is gated and gives a sense of security. Reception staff were polite, friendly and provided a property map which was helpful. We loved that we got our own secure parking garage. Our accommodation was spacious, well cooled and spotless. The kitchen was impressive and they provided all necessary cooking utensils etc. My husband was particularly pleased to see we had a bathtub as well as a shower. Our balcony got the morning sun and overlooked the gardens. I would highly recommend this property which is also within walking distance of village shops and eateries."
