Pros - The cabin is in a great location – prime – close to everything, the town, alpine slide, the lake, including the property management office. The cabin looked exactly like the pictures, I would say even better. All the comforts of home provided in a what appears to be a clean fashion. Now for the cons…Ants!!! Yes, this is the mountains which is made clear in the welcome book, but when we entered the home there were ants all over the kitchen, the island, the counters, the dining room table, the floor. We used some bug spray that was under the sink and property management brought us a stronger bug spray to use. I cleaned and sprayed virtually the whole kitchen the 1st night, woke up the next morning to ants all over our snacks which were in a bag, which I moved to a small part of the living room away from everything. There were ants in the living room on the couch, table and floors. The ants were mostly on the top level, not downstairs where the bedrooms are. Next con - parking, its non-existent!! There is a gravel driveway on a steep hill, we never figured out the best way to enter the driveway and park so beware. The grill was not cleaned and doesn’t look like its ever been clean, so we did not get to grill. There is no yard or outside area for children to hang around the home, for us this wasn’t such a big deal as we spent a lot of time around the lake. From the pictures the cabin is high up, trust me it is, great views, but the steps to the property were a little scary and I found myself tired of walking up and down them. Your trash has to be removed by you before the end of your stay. They provide two drop off areas, but we used the property management dumpsters twice during our stay and that was the best convenience. Over all it was a decent stay for our first visit to Big Bear!
