Wonderful Family Gathering
I searched for a property for family from ages1-71. I was pleasantly surprised as this property exceeded my expectations! There was comfortable accommodations for everyone. We spent time inside the home as well as outside in the amazing yard. The kitchen was more than well stocked as we found everything we needed for cooking meals. Thank you to the owners for sharing your lovely home.

It’s was nice but…
We stayed here for my daughters 8th birthday with family. It was a total of 16 of us 4 cars and we fit perfectly. The layout of the home is Beautiful!! So much space all around. The fireplace in the living room was my favorite, really kept the home toasty. The entertainment room was nice we were able to connect our switch and play games. Could have had an extra seat but the bean big was a plus for the kiddos. The carpet in that area seemed to have been freshly cleaned which felt really nice. Wish I could say the same for the rest of the house. My kids found candy wrappers in the room they slept in. The master shower seemed to barely have been rinsed. The kitchen island also had some kind of trash. There were cigarette buds in the backyard near the playhouse. And as we played with the snow in the front yard the day we arrived there were tons of trash underneath. Took us a while to figure out the indoor lighting as well, some of the switches either didn’t work or had to be held for the light to stay on. The dishwasher wasn’t that great so we decided to not use it after the first night. We enjoyed our stay overall it just needs some deep cleaning and a few repairs.

Big Bear GEM
Amazing property with fantastic amenities for a large group or family like ours. Check in was delayed by 45min because it wasn't ready. We asked for additional 45min to check out since our access was delayed and was rejected. We were told next group is coming and cannot give us additional 45minutes. So we were short changed because the next group was important. Property was dirty so we reported the uncleanliness, they just said "sorry, we will notify the cleaning crew to do a better job next time"...again, we are stuck with the messy cabin. Lastly internet did not work. The wifi network and password on the "check-in" report does not match. I emailed the management company and they never replied/responded. I called and they walk me through and got 1 connected, 2nd one still failed to connect. Cabin this large with speed of 24MB is not sufficient. Oh well, management is not going to fix...we were stuck using our data on our phones. Cabin location is great, we had a great time but management needs to do a better job accommodating guest wanting premium experience in this Big Bear GEM.

Great house for large group with kids
Great house and location, especially enjoyed the spacious front yard with room for kids to sled. It’s well laid out with 5 bedrooms and baths and between the living room and family room, plenty of space for kids and adults to spread out. Destination Big Bear was very responsive to a few problems with Wi-Fi and dishwasher. The empty game boxes should be replaced or tossed, some of the couches have little support, and no condiments means bring your own salt & pepper. But overall it was a great choice for our group of 8 adults and 4 children!

Five stars for the property and five for the staff!
Brave bull was amazing, the accommodations and amenities were perfect for what we were looking for, but as it usually does, life got in the way. A septic problem on our second night caused us to have to pack everything up late at night and relocate to another property. Normally this would be a bad thing...I’m not saying it was a great feeling, but the staff from destination big bear made it as painless as possible. They were very quick to answer and respond to the problem. Bree and Vince (I think) were on the ball and had us set up and ready at a moments notice at Sundance Lodge...another beautiful property with an amazing view. To the staff at destination big bear...thank you! Thank you for being calm and professional. Thank you for being focused even through a $#[++¥ situation.

My family and i celebrated 5 Birthdays and had a fabulous time.
Brave bull home was very well decorated with so much room for us all. Our adult kids thoroughly enjoyed the game room and us parents the warm fireplace. We most definitely will rent this again next year. I'm giving this home a 5. Positive things in the kitchen is there is everything you need for cooking, negative, microwave door gets stuck, the walls and cabinets could use some cleaning. 3 fireplaces 2 working, electric fireplace heater in master which is beautiful and works great. All bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean. Backyard we give a "1" my husband had to walk around and pick up few baby diapers and trash not sure they have a gardener but otherwise really nice sitting out back and barbecuing. I'm a neat freak even when vacationing I'm tidying up every day. This home needs a vacuum and mop. Lol i had my husband run to the store to get me a mop.
