July 4th getaway

This place was in a great location central to all of the July 4th activities; however, it was a bit more dated and bare than we had initially anticipated from the photos. You pay for the location rather than the amenities.

Great Dog Friendly Spot!

This was our first time in Big Bear and this rental was perfect for us! The location is killer, right in the little downtown area and next to great restaurants and bars and coffee shops. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go from the apartment. We stayed with our dog, and the process to book was super quick and easy. The host was very helpful and quick to respond to any and all messages or questions we had. 10/10 would definitely book again!
