This was perfect for my family of five Spring Break getaway to Big Bear! Everything worked! Seriously - from the tea kettle to the toilets. There’s always SOMETHING, right?! That goes wrong or is wonky or broken? Not here!
And more than that so many adorable, lovely, and thoughtful additions to this chalet. It was cozy but spacious. Felt like home. We laughed and played games. Popped popcorn and watched movies. Listened to the AWESOME record collection! Oh, and do you like coffee? Well HOW do you like it? French press? Pour-over? Drip? They have it ALL!
And the spa was amazing! It snowed when we were in it! Picturesque.
Top 5 Airbnb stays for us. And we don’t say that lightly.
This was just what we needed. So grateful! read less

Nicely laid out kitchen with everything you could possibly need.
We got hit with a blizzard with very high winds as soon as we arrived. The host was incredibly responsive even at 11pm when one of the breakers popped. They sent someone over right away! The house is also equipped with pop up lanterns and an emergency kit in case you lose power. Fortunately we didn’t, but it was really nice to know that the host was so well prepared!
On our way out, the road conditions were pretty treacherous. The host called us to let us know that we were welcome to stay and prioritized our safety over everything else. Between the awesome welcome gift, we’ll equip kitchen and proactive host, we will definitely be back! read less

The best thing was the beds they’re so comfortable and it made us feel like home! - even the kiddos. There’s also lots of board games and toddler toys. Everything was clean and we felt comfortable.
Leanne /Esther was super responsive through texting in the app!
Location is very convenient as well, and just as private enough so it’s not right next to downtown but just 3-5 mins away.
We came at the peak season and booked late so price was higher than normal.
Overall we loved our stay and would love to come back! read less
