Overall, we had a good stay and felt it was a good value for the price. The cabin is older, but that’s reflected in the cost, and it was comfortable enough for our trip. The location was excellent and very convenient. I had requested an early check-in since we were traveling with a baby, but it wasn’t available. I understand that early check-in isn’t guaranteed, so that was completely acceptable. However, check-in was scheduled for 4:00 PM, and we didn’t receive the check-in instructions until after we messaged the host at 4:04 PM. They replied at 4:10 PM, so that could be improved. During our stay, we noticed the refrigerator was leaking and reported it to the host. We also found that the bathroom cabinet was broken, which we reported right away so there wouldn’t be any confusion about damages. Overall, despite those minor issues, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Big Bear.
