You can ski for free in Big Bear on your birthday in California so we let the kidstake off school. The cabin was fantastic. Very clean had many creature comforts including spices, blanket throws, washer dryer. I forgot my pancake syrup and they had some for us. Spa was fantastic and overall a great experience. Just mentioning there is a pretty steep driveway ( great views) there is 7/8 steps to get into the cabin where the bedrooms are, and regular steps to get to the main living space. This may be a problem for someone who has a problem with the steps. It was fine for us. We would stay again. Very homey feel. Ps I loved one of their pans called "the rock" so much, I went on Amazon and bought one for myself! comfortable etc.
