I was hesitant to write a review because I didn't want to share this perfect little gem with others! haha! Then that means, I can't come back whenever I want. =)
But, credit is due! This was my first time renting from Steve and I'm so happy that we did. The place was easy to find, the communication from the owners were awesome, and the place was just as it was described. A few things that I loved about the place: Super close to everything you need. 5 minute drive to the village and to snow tubing for the kids. Easy to find and lighting was great especially arriving late a night. The place was very clean! The sheets, towels, furniture, and carpet were all very clean and well kept. Bed were pretty comfy and had enough sheets and towels for the whole family (6 people). Also, the kitchen and house was basically fully stocked with all of the essentials you need for a great weekend. They had paper towels, toilet paper, cooking oil, trash bags, dish soap, etc. Check the supplies before heading out to the market.
The ONLY negative for me were the spiders. Yes, we're in the mountains but when i'm traveling with 3 small children, I can't help but be a little worried for the kids. There were tons of spiders in the tub and a few that made it's way on us in the living room. These were huge black/brown spiders. I'm not sure if the owners spay monthly, but it may help.
FYI: There are no humidifiers in the unit. We asked before coming up and brought our own. No problem. but for those that are planning to visit, definitely bring one if you have. It helps with the dry air.
Overall, it was a great stay and we really enjoyed the place. This is a place I'd definitely rent again in the future! I can't wait to visit big bear again soon!!! - Thank you Steve!!!
