Great family Cottage
Our family loved staying here. It was hot in Big Bear during our stay and this cottage was great. The property is well located in a very quiet area. The property managers were awesome and their communication was phenomenal. The fairy tale easter eggs were great and my 10 year old daughter loved everyone of them. I would highly recommend this cottage to a family with small children. Thank you guys so much for accomadating our family on a much needed 4th of July getaway.

Excellent service
Leanne was fantastic to work with and so responsive to all our needs. Queen bed is very comfortable and we slept well. Hot tub is a real plus as well and was already warm when we wanted to use it.
